To those who have remembered, I announced that Gundam 00 will air on HEROtv this October. Here's their first episode.
Aside that they used the traditional MOH-BAYL-SOOT pronunciation of Mobile Suit, unlike the TV5 dub that used the Japanese pronunciation of the said term, it seems that most of the characters sounded good.
As for the Gundam Meisters, they sounded good in this dub. About Alleluyah (In which I hated because he sounded like Sunohara in the Filipino dub of Clannad), he sounded good, but his voice fits if he is in Halleluyah mode. As for Lockon, LAVI, IS THAT YOU?! His voice partly fits for the character. Setsuna's VA, I am fine with it. For Tieria, I am tied between his TV5 voice and HEROtv voice. For Haro's voice, it sucks.
My only problem with it is that they fit it for the SD resolution unlike the TV5 version in which they used the widescreen version.
Overall, if I would pick a better version of the dubs, I prefer the HEROtv dub in terms of the minor voices, for the Gundam Meisters, 2/4 of it are good but the rest, it seems miscasted. Fop the script, I prefer the TV5 version because they tried their best to try as much as possible, stay close to the Japanese version. In conclusion, TV5 wins in the Meisters less Alleluyah and script. While HEROtv wins in the supporting characters less Haro and trying its best to stay close to the Pinoy fans by retain the MOH-BAYL-SOOT pronunciation.
Its too early right now who is the best dub considering that TV5 is still on episode 18, while HEROtv is on episode 5 next Monday.
EDITED: Made my official final conclusion with the dub.
