Zero cringe? I don't know about others, but I prefer it if a name like Rex is pronounced without a vowel at the end.

Agreed. Insisting on using names or other words that the voice actor can't pronounce is part of why I stopped watching anime. I remember watching some anime where people from all over the world went to some school and fought with robot suits (or something like that) and none of the foreign students could even pronounce their own freaking names. Seriously, if you're gonna name a character Charlotte or whatever, make sure you find a voice actor that do know how to pronounce it.

Well, that is looking a lot better than the first trailer. Also better than XCX.

I'm starting to like the character design, now they have emotions unlike XCX.

Yep, they decided to include an actual best girl this time, not just some random frog face. Not gonna lie, this trailer makes me pretty excited while I was just meh after the announcement trailer.

The fact that they go back to more fantasy rather than scifi is a gigantic plus.

The Japanese "take thiiiiiiiiiiiis!!!!" is still equally horrible.

^this, they should really fix that line... since Zelda got Italian dub I wouldn't mind if Xeno got one too but I know it won't happen x_x

Then they wouldn't have voice actors anymore. Of course it's silly that they pick some stupidly foreign names but that's kinda part of the appeal. Japanese creators love foreign stuff and they love to mix as much of it as possible.

I rather have a Japanese VO pronounce their name badly every 5 minutes than some western VO trying to squeak as if they were Japanese constantly.

But good for you watching Strike Witches :)
