Mugen sounds like a whiny fifteen year old boy. Somehow my brother and I just knew that the same person who did Spike's voice from Cowboy Bebop would be doing Mugen. & it doesn't fit at all. The voice actor puts too much emotion in; Mugen always likes to come off as bored and uneffected, even when he's excited about something.
Jin sounds like a homosexual. 'Nuff said. What in the world happened to that deep, smooth, manly voice in the original? WOE!
With Fuu there's less to complain about, but the voice actor they chose for her doesn't fit. Her voice is too gentle, less high-pitched. Fuu likes to screech; she screeches even when she's not upset about something. Her voice is supposed to be abrasive 90% of the time.
In conclusion ...WOE! And I think I'm going to watch the rest of the series subbed. My brother almost slaughtered me for wailing every time a main character open their mouth.
I never thought I'd be one of those elitist bastards who freak over dubs. First time for everything, I guess.
