Followup to the previous review in EX 1.x:

Way back in issue 1.x, we reviewed ADV's then new release GALAXY FRÄULEIN YUNA. Now, like many other companies, ADV is releasing some of their older, previously un-dubbed titles in dubbed format.
  YUNA is still as sugary and cute as ever, and although it's a large group of cliches mashed into a packed 60 minutes, it's still entertaining.
  What's new here is the dubbing. It is reasonably well done, meaning that I didn't wind up cringing while watching the video. However, this underscores how difficult it can be to emote "cuteness" in English. Yuna's voice was perhaps the best of the bunch, while the other characters came across as too serious in spots. Some of the voices seemed so similar that they blended together and it was hard to tell them apart.
  If you prefer your anime dubbed and want a sample of how cute, silly and over the top anime can be, GALAXY FRÄULEIN YUNA definitely fits the bill. A must see for fans of IDOL PROJECT or ICZELION.
