Hear that sound? That's the sound of me vibrating at high frequency in the background. :D
And hah, here's a funny thing. Neither the ENG or the FR audio-tracks are dubs. They're both the original audio for the show (got recorded near-simultaneously, with the director/producer/showrunner guy overseeing both, flying between Paris and Toronto to do so. Even the scripts in both languages were written directly by him). It's actually the Japanese audio (and the other languages after) that's the dub, since it was recorded over six months after the show's Western premiere and didn't have the showrunner's direct input.
Out of all three versions of the show I've watched (ENG, FR, JPN), I'd say that the English cast ends up being the best, when all is said and done. All three are good, but the two key players (Eva and Don) are exceptional in how their ENG VAs handle them and their changes across the series (and I've only just now realized that their voices change in opposite directions -- Eva's VA plays her harsher and darker the more the series goes on and the more she has to deal with the brutality of the race. Meanwhile, Don's VA softens his tone and makes him express far more than just anger and disdain, as time goes on).
