They actually got a real live native English speaker for this trailer–and he even has the TV Announcer Guy voice! (He’s not deep and gravelly to have the “Movie Guy” voice though–the “in a world…” voice.) Though I can tell he probably didn’t write the following:
This is a solid juvenile renaissance…much more innocent than adolescence, much more cruel than pure love!
It does, however, have one of the all-time records for audacious promises. TV Announcer Guy, after all, assures us that
H20 will ROCK YOUR SOUL!
One wonders whether this is a direct pitch to American and other English-speaking fansub watchers. If it is, I am happy to accept some hard cash in exchange for positive reviews careful, objective consideration for a show I would almost surely, based on what I see in this trailer, give very negative reviews!
If not, well–we’ll see just how much this rocks my soul. [Folds arms skeptically]
HT to Xebek for this.

I could hardly hear what he was saying over the music but that made me laugh. I might consider this now, just for the lol’s.
The announcer has to be someone whose English is very good. I can hear his way of curling his tongue doesn’t sound like he was born in an English speaking country – I should know because his nuance is like mine. He also isn’t stressing at the totally western style right places. But this guy lived in an English speaking country for at least 7 years.
@Ray: Very useful and insightful–I noticed it when I listened to it again. Thanks. They almost tricked us, yes they did!
