Hey ADV, your credits grunts suck too.

Well, we all know that the fine, fine people at A. D. Vision care about the fine, fine products they provide to the anime-watching public at finely, finely exorbitant prices. We also know that they're absolutely committed to getting everything right. Here's an example.

That's part of the original seiyuu credits from ADV's R1 DVDs of Choujuushin Gravion. The seiyuu for Ena is listed as "Mai Nakajima." Who's Mai Nakajima? I have no idea either, because the person who voiced Ena/Eina (as the name was in the original Japanese version of the anime) is this one. Nakahara Mai.

It gets even worse if you look a couple of lines down: the seiyuu of Tuile is listed as "Miikacp Takahashi." No, "Miikacp" is not a Japanese name (nor a name in any other language I've ever heard of). Dear folks at ADV, Takahashi Mikako would like for you to get her name right (as opposed to replacing it with the grandmother of all typos), but understands that the way you see it, nobody you're selling this crap to reads the credits anyway.

(In case you're wondering, this stuff stayed wrong for every single episode of the series.)
