@Anon - Yes, please provide the link. Also, I wouldn't mind if America sounded more like he did during the beginning of the series. I understand he should be annoying, but it can be downright unpleasant to listen to. Before, his voice changed pitch mostly when he was excited, and other than that was just loud, hyperactive, and a bit obnoxious/annoying when he needed to be. Now it's a bit hard to concentrate whenever he speaks (especially when he sounds almost inhuman). Even his Marukaite Chikyuu only sounded 'really annoying' when he was yelling or getting worked up; personally, I liked how he got more annoying as he got more excited xD

However, I just don't see Viz as America. I guess he could work as France if given the right accent and worked with it, but he doesn't the right pitch, tone, or annoyance factor.
