I'm pleasantly surprised by this.

Kosuda - Scott Freeman
Kosuda's Eros Deity - Greg Ayres
Miyano - Jād Saxton
Miyano's Eros Deity - Caitlin Glass
Kanejo - Kristi Kang
Takeshita - Cherami Leigh
Chika - Emerick Jade
In my opinion, I think Funimation did a good job casting... although there seems to be a couple NEW voice actors here(Kristi Kang & Emerick Jade).
From the trailer, it looks pretty awesome already, if you're into this kind of anime.
How do you think this series will turn out?
You know what, I think I heard a story VERY similar to this. I heard on the radio (If I'm not mistaken), about a Women who was in the hospital and her friend gave her a DVD set of the show "Sex and the City", and after watching it, had the same though as what Yamada want to do.
NOW I'm hearing about THIS series? What's next?

What can I say, "Haters Gonna Hate!"
What you are saying really has no bearing about the topic at hand.

I don't "Hate" the series cause I haven't watched it yet. I think as far as a first impression it's a sound very "Different".

The trailer had me at the line: "Did you forget to stop by the modesty store on the way out of the womb?" That killed me. I was already pretty sure I wanted to get it because it's just such a crazy concept. I've met some sexually uninhibited people before but wow, this girl. . . and casting Britney Karbowski? Perfect choice. Such a cute voice saying those over-sexed lines is just perfect casting.
English dubs rule! Spread the love, raise the profit, get more anime.
Nipa! Back on the forums after a computer crash! Nipa!

Not exactly new.
Emerick Jade is actually Megan Miller (been in stuff like Phantom, Ouran and Bamboo Blade)
Guess this is her new stage name according to her imdb resume

And Kristi Kang is actually Kristi Bingham (Miharu in Baka and Test, Levy in Fairy Tail)
Maybe she got married recently and changed her last name?
Still, since they're not used as often like some VAs I guess this show will help give them more exposure.

You've definitely done your research, Jackson_H. Good Job!
My mistake, didn't see the connection until you pointed it out.
Agreed. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Anyone have any guesses as to when the dub will be released?
@Slayer- It will be on DVD/BD Jan. 31st. You can pre-order at Right Stuf! and other online stores.
I reject your reality and replace it with my own.
@Dragon0 - Wow, I didn't even bother to check retailers because I thought it would be several months before the dub was finished. Now I feel stupid for not checking myself. Looking forward to Jan 31.
Howdy all!
Saw the first 2 episodes on the Funimation site & its quite hilarious!
Brittney as Yamada is funny.
Though when she Takesheta instead of Takashita is kinda odd but nothing bad.
(And Cherami is great as Yamada's best friend Takeshita BTW)
Going to add the series to my to get list.
Great job Funimation!!
