Our biggest fears about the Viz redub (and alleviating them)

My fears besides the ones (other than the ones related to name changes or pronunciation) you mentioned was keeping the "Make Up" part of the transformation call since it just doesn't sound right or good in English.

Additionally my other fear is in regards to Kalonite. Not because of the pronunciation since that isn't important to me since it's just a name and Americans will have a different way to pronounce it than the Japanese would anyway because of our different alphabet but my fear is making sure they're consistent with Kalonite so that the villain is called Kalonite but the servant that lives at Tomoe's place is called Ms. Kalo or something.
