I actually think that Albedo is Crispin Freeman's only good role. Well, that and Rociel, who are both crazy drama queens of questionable sexuality.

I can't stand him in anything else. He always sounds so damn gruff and like he's overacting.

I am actually rather unfamiliar with the rest of his work, since I tend to watch stuff subbed (and the majority of dubbed anime that I saw was in German then, too). So can't comment on that. But his Albedo might easily be the next best thing since sliced bread and maybe even better than his original Japanese voice (that one I remember from trailers). XD

Oh, his Albedo is excellent! Just everything else he does that isn't a crazy bastard like dear old Al is sub-bar at best. His role as Hector in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was passable, but just about everything else I've heard him in has made me want to mute the sound and switch over to the original audio. He did Alucard in Hellsing, which is a prime example of why I think he is generally a shitty voice actor.

Hm... he should be type-cast as crazy bastard then? ... I had an impression that he is a profilic bishonen actors... or was that many, many years ago? (*I iz granma by interwebz termz*)

Momo is definitely more sympathetic in episodes two and three, but especially three. She stopped annoying me. Also, the fewer panty-shots the better. :P

Albedo is one of the best things about the series. I felt he was overdone in the first game, but once they started taking it in the B-movie direction and the script took itself less seriously, Albedo really shined. He's so great in episode three. I ended up really loving him and Jr. Freeman's acting really grew on me with Albedo's role, too.

Hah, I still love Yuriev and Sellers, though. I don't think they have a really big part until episode three... that I remember. >_>
