Lol, there are two "Wil" here (the second one I know you are referring to the archer), do you mean "Kent" for the "Will" part?

Yes, yes I did. D'oh.

My friend showed me this show, and I've come to love it. It's a French cartoon adapted from a video game (which is currently on Xbox Live).

[Dark Paladin X]

I'm going to make some guesses on the Angel Beats! dub cast before they show the first dub clip. The other characters (particularly the minor ones) have casting that may or may not be highly realistic (red text showing the chances of this voice actor voicing this character would be zero), but were my top choices in my head if Bang Zoom! was dubbing them.

Otonashi: [strike]Bryce Papenbrook[/strike] Chris Patton
Yuri: [strike]Ashley Johnson[/strike] Jessica Boone
Angel: [strike]Cristina Valenzuela[/strike] Luci Christian
Hideki Hinata: [strike]Johnny Yong Bosch[/strike] David Matranga

Shiina: Tara Strong
T.K.: (unsure if they are going to use their own talents or if they will keep the original seiyuu, Michael Rivas)
Matsushita: Nolan North
Noda: Greg Cipes
Ayato Naoi: Spike Spencer (??)
Fujimaki: Vic Mignogna (??)
Takamatsu: Kyle Hebert
Takeyama: Yuri Lowenthal
Ooyama: Brianne Siddall
Yui-nyan: Laura Bailey (??)
Yusa: Michelle Ruff

Yes, I know there are a bit more characters, but the reason why I placed question marks on Spike Spencer's Vic Mignogna's, and Laura Bailey's names is because they've worked with ADV Films in the past and thus may work with Sentai Filmworks. However, there may be a chance that they might not work with the founders of ADV Films due to geography and union reasons. However, there is still a possibility that these people may work with the guys who founded ADV Films again under Sentai Filmworks, but the chances are low.

But anyways, surprise me if Sentai brings in new talents for the dub. Surprise me more if they manage to bring the former ADV voice actors who moved to LA for the dub. And surprise me even more if they can bring in LA voice actors who never worked with ADV Films/Sentai Filmworks in the past.

A little prediction cast on the Rurouni Kenshin remake. This is a mix of NYAC Post and FUNimation. Pretty much the key characters. Too lazy to cast every single character. The only exception is the Jinchi characters.

[Mandouga]

When/if Funimation's DVD release ever gets to the current One Piece arc, I can't help but wonder if it would be possible to get Maile Flannigan for the role of Sabo...

 

[Super Sonic]

When/if Funimation's DVD release ever gets to the current One Piece arc, I can't help but wonder if it would be possible to get Maile Flannigan for the role of Sabo...

I don't know if I'd even want that. Just because the Japanese voice of Naruto worked for Sabo doesn't necessarily mean the English will.

Like, the Japanese voice of Luffy is also the voice of Krillin, but can you honestly see Sonny Strait doing Luffy's voice instead of Colleen?

 

[Mandouga]

I'm not sure the Krillin comparison is fair. The two voices are completely different sounding from each other (i.e., ENG Krillin sounds more make, while JPN Krillin is a "cross-dressing voice"). However, ENG Luffy sounds similar to JPN Luffy, and since both Naruto's are cross dressing voices, and since Junko Takeuchi voices Sabo, I wondered if it would be possible to bring in Maile Flanagan for Sabo should FUNi ever get that far.

Back on topic, for Funimation's Fairy Tail dub, would be too obvious if the voice of Nami was also the voice of Lucy? How about Stephanie Young (Robin) as Erza, or Eric Vale (Sanji) as Grey, or Brina Palencia (Chopper) as Happy (and for that matter, Brina Palencia as Wendy)?

EDIT: I checked, and I think I spelled Maile's name wrong.

Do we really need to keep fueling the One Piece comparison jokes?

 

[Super Sonic]

I'm not against Brina for Happy, but I really don't want Luci Christian for Lucy. Nor do I want Eric Vale for Gray. Not just because of the whole One Piece thing, either. I just honestly think FUNimation has plenty of other VAs that could do a good (or maybe better) job with those characters.

Don't get me wrong, I love all of those guys in One Piece, but I dunno about making them do those specific characters in Fairy Tail.

@Mandouga

Ok, then can you see Colleen voicing Krillin in English? I just don't think it's necessary honestly. It would be a cute little joke though if they really went through the trouble.

 

[River26]

When/if Funimation's DVD release ever gets to the current One Piece arc, I can't help but wonder if it would be possible to get Maile Flannigan for the role of Sabo...

-_-' If I'm being frank, I sorta had some really bad experiences with her being Naruto. The acting just feels so dry and un-emotional, as compared to Clinkenbeard's take of Luffy. Not that she's a bad actor, as she has her big moments with Naruto as well.
