) and though the level of their translation efforts were remarkably good the actual acting in their dubs has been heavily criticized.
Amongst collectors the classic Golden Voice cast (sometimes referred to as the Hopeanuoli-cast after their most famous work) has received something of a vintage quality, more so than their follower Agapio Racing Team
