Miki's Roy sounds like a lounge lizard imho. Which isn't a mode that's entirely foreign to Roy, but it's by no means his default state. And there's a definite overlap between Urahara and Roy as this voice actor plays him now, which I don't think is really a supportable reading of either character based on the manga. But I do think he's been given a script that does not fulfill the manga's potential.
I don't know. I think Orikasa (I might have that spelled wrong) completely hit Rukia out of the park from the first episode of Bleach, and she puts Rukia's English voice actor to shame. But (particularly in episode 4) while she does seem to be trying to stick to the original Hawkeye mode, she keeps wobbling out of it--particularly in the first episode. And the exchange between her and Roy about Ed and Al in the second episode totally reminded me of off-camera dialogue between Akio and Anthy, or Touga and Anthy, from Utena--and that is not a good thing for a scene from FMA in my book.
