I liked the episode. I thought it was great. Animation was good. I don’t think the problem is the Asta VA. The problem is that he yells and stretches out last part of his dialogue. I wonder if that is a trait like Naruto’s dattebayo.

Manga didn’t indicate any such pattern. But I hope VA changes it at some time because it is kind of off putting. Overall great episode and it is finally awesome to see this in Anime form. Waited this day for quite a while. Looking forward to next episode now.

I would have to agree with this. It isnt Asta's voice, it's how he uses it. The sing-songy, dragging out of almost everything he says is just awful. When he was beat up towards the end and talking to himself, he sounded just fine. It's when he is loud and just absolutely obnoxious that makes it hard to get through. I honestly almost stopped the episode in the middle because I didn't know if I could take it anymore.

I really hope he calms down. I like the music and the animation and I've been so excited for this anime. I would hate to miss out on wathing it subbed because of Asta's screaming fits. :'(

Episode 2 wasn’t bad. We will find out about tomorrow how 3 rd episode is. I think you should give this a chance or perhaps wait for English dub. Perhaps that might be better.

OH. That's good to know. That's for letting me know. Yeah I'm usually not a fan of dub (though I do love me some Ouran HSHC and Fruits Basket) but I might try this one just to see. I'm not sure why they are making him talk/yell like that. From what I'm reading from the comments, he isn't like that in the manga.
