Transformers: War for Cybertron fantasy Japanese VA casts (Beast Wars Japanese redub)

OK, so I found out a lot of the English casts for Transformers: War for Cybertron are anime VAs like Johnny Yong Bosch is Bumblebee and Patrick Seitz is Silverbolt, so I decided why not do a Japanese VA fantasy cast if Activision is planning for a Japanese release (maybe Tomy will pick up the game for the Japanese release), so here's my possible Japanese voice cast:

Optimus Prime(Convoy??)-Tessho Genda
Arcee-Ayashi Takagaki or Mie Sonozaki or Nana Mizuki
Air Raid-Akira Ishida, or Hideo Ishikawa
Bumblebee-Daisuke Kishio or Kappei Yamaguichi
Ironhide (Bulkhead??)-Kenta Miyake or Akira Kamiya
Jetfire-Jun Fukuyama
Omega Supreme-Tomokazu Seki or Fumihiko Tachiki
Ratchet-Toru Okawa
Sideswipe-Hikaru Midorikawa or Keiji Fujiwara
Silverbolt-Takehito Koyasu
Warpath-Hiroki Yasumoto
Zeta Prime-Akio Otsuka or Shigeru Chiba

Megatron-Norio Wakamoto or Akira Kamiya
Barricade-Koichi Yamadera or Takahiro Sakurai
Brawl-Hiroki Tochi (FYI: Both Tochi and North voiced Nathan Drake)
Breakdown-Joji Nakata or Tomokazu Sugita
Shockwave-Nobuo Tobita
Skywarp-Akio Otsuka (both Otsuka and Epcar voiced Batou)
Slipstream-Romi Park or Atsuko Tanaka or Megumi Hayashibara
Soundwave-Nobuo Tobita
Starscream-Jin Yamanoi
Thundercracker-Toshiyuki Morikawa
Trypticon-Tōru Furuya

I was watching Beast Wars in Japanese dub. I heard this cartoon had face a lot of thing how anime used to face in USA. I'm going to do a Japanese redub for Beast Wars.

Optimus Primal (not Convoy)-Takehito Koyasu or Tessho Genda
Cheetor-Wataru Takagi or Kenichi Suzumura
Rhinox-Daiki Nakamura or Hiroki Tochi
Rattrap-Kappei Yamaguichi or Mamoru Miyano or Masakazu Morita
Dinobot-Kenta Miyake
Megatron-Akio Otsuka
Airazor-Masako Nozawa
Tarantulas-Cho
Waspinator-Kenzo Kato
Blackarachia-Miki Itou or Megumi Hayashibara

If i was me I'd prefer them in english. Especially TF.

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien (Production I.G rendition)
Ben: Yuri Lowenthal
Kevin: Greg Cipes
Gwen: Kate Higgins
Julie: Stephanie Sheh
Aggregor: Jamieson Price

Though, for Beyblade: M.F. I wouldn't mind it being in japanese. The english version really sucks.

 

[Ryusuke]

My choices edited to be looking like a less star-studded cast, and border line unrealistic (region wise).

[Mandouga]

Okay, this is REALLY going to sound silly but...

If Hanna-Barbera still existed (by 2002, H-B had been absorbed by WB Animation), and had dubbed Azumanga Daioh:

Yukari-sensei: ?
Nyamo-sensei: ?
Chiyo-chan - Kath Soucie (using her "cute girl" voice)
Osaka - Janet Waldo (using a variation of her "Penelope Pitstop" voice)
Tomo - B.J. Ward
Sakaki - Tress MacNeille
Yomi - ?
Kagura - Susan Blu
Kaorin: ?

Chiyo-chichi - Frank Welker, John Stephenson, or Gary Owens; Ted Cassidy if he was still alive. OTOH, Henry Corden was still alive back then...

I think you should know that it's "Rouge", and not "Rogue"...

I don't mean any offense, I'm just saying.

Hiro - Monica Rial
Hayatemaru - Chris Ayres
Okita - Illirich Guardiola

Yeah I saw the video for Chaos Wars English dub. That is one game I never would play in English dub. I like your cast bTW. But for the character you list add some NA animation voice cast like Nolan North and you need to put some Ocean Group VAs in there.

back on topic: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (NA Animation VA)

ADR Director: Jack Fletcher

Motoko Kusanagi-Ming Na or Tress MacNeille
Batou-Kevin Michael Richardson
Togusa-Nolan North
