I think that rhythm thing is just a function of how vastly different Japanese and English are, and how many more syllables it takes to convey an equivalent amount of information in Japanese as to English. You're right that it is noticable, I guess I just don't notice it as much because I'm used to listening to Japanese stuff. I suppose they could've gone for a little looser translation (I'm assuming on this one, since Rei's subs haven't come out yet) if it meant better rhythm, but I'm not gonna complain about a very accurate translation (such as in Smile Song) either.

On the bright side, they did manage to rhyme in a few places, which I hear is hard to do in Japanese (well, to rhyme and have the lyrics still make sense, anyway).

Finally, what would you consider the other "top-tier" dubs, and what are your other two reasons for that?
