Sorry, that was my comment, I forgot to log in!

No no, you're not wrong. They definitely chose some, uh, "different" ways to phrase a bunch of lines (for example, everything Levi says in his trailer). I've decided to cut Funimation some slack because what I think they're doing is trying to make the series more 'dramatic' for the english audience; wanting to drive home the "cattle" analogy and using more stereotypical action lines.

I think the reason I like the dub is because I like seeing the different angles the dubbers choose to take when presenting the characters. As long as they keep the core of the message, I'm fine. The transition is a lot rougher when you love the original.
