I wish they had got a Maya that sounded like the Japanese Maya, not ADV's, 
which was the worst casting of the TV series IMO.

Hyuga, I didn't notice too much, I would listen again if I could bear it, 
but I can't.

The dub *and* subtitles wrong translation of the 18th Angel is probably 
Gaijin's worst mistake. But not most obvious. The f-obscenities, were so 
heinous to me (the first being subtitled as well), that anything else (apart 
from the story itself) seemed trivial.
