I doubt it'll be terrible, but more to the point, that's an unusual pastime you have.
Try asking their stomachs. Zing! |

Not really bugged by this, don't generally watch dubs unless I hear they're really good. Still looking forward to season 2!

Did Kevin T. Collins say anything? His singing in the bloopers in the original anime were hilarious and now it just won't be the same...

Agreed, this dub was clearly already in the works long before the Funi-CR deal got finalized.
I'm surprised CR didn't get them back though because this is a case where the original dub cast is considered pretty iconic.
Yeah, that's a good point, and really weird. I wonder why Bang Zoom didn't at least bring back the ones they had access to? For example, Carrie has even been in almost all of their recent big dubs like Kill la Kill, Fate/Zero, the extremely recent Erased, Gundam IBO, and Zestiria the X, etc. The one saving grace is that at least there are a lot of good VAs in this list. |

To add to what everyone is saying. My guess is that CR made a deal with BangZoom to have them handle the dubs that were announced pre-funimation partnership. And probably whoever at CR made this deal was a corporate person that didn't know about NYAV Post's history with the series.
Now once it went to BangZoom. I have no idea what the chatter was then. I guess we gotta blame whoever is in charge of casting. Which, if it's the same person who directed the dub, points the finger at Michael McConnohie. Either way. Whoever did the casting either didn't care for consistency, or had their eye on someone else to voice the characters. Which is an insult to the fans who have been used to these VAs for the last like 15 years. |

Reprising the original anime's dub voices for the movies should be considered a fluke, not anything definitive like the Yu-Gi-Oh! or Dragon Ball dubs. That being said, this miscasting decision should come to be expected when you're involved with such a terrible adaptation.

I guess CR may have not had the guts to reunite the cast for whatever reason and one would think that cascaded into fans going berserk.

true enough. personally they should have kept the same cast from the movies. though for guts, it would have been better if they were able to get steve blum to reprise his role since he did do guts for the original berserk tv series back in the late 90's early 2000's. then again, that might be an issue considering like with a lot of VAs lately their way too committed to voicing US cartoon series and with him in full commitment mode for both star wars rebels and as wolverine for the marvel series, it might be really difficult for blum to do guts. |

I'm not sure why people were so quick to jump on Funimation for the casting considering Crunchyroll announced that they were planning to dub this before the partnership. Plus, Funimation usually tries to get casts back, either through outsourcing or recording at their studio. It doesn't happen every time, certainly, but considering that CR had contracted to record Mob Psycho too, it seems more likely that Funimation had nothing to do with it.
Now, that doesn't explain why CR chose Bang Zoom over NYAV Post, or why those actors weren't brought in. I don't have a problem with the actors themselves, it just doesn't make a lot of sense to cast different people when the previous actors are available. |

No, the 97 series was a full New York dub done at NYAV Post and Marc Diraison was Guts from the beginning. The movies Viz has were also dubbed at NYAV and reunited almost everyone important from that cast including Marc as Guts.
I blame IGN because they're claiming it's a FUNimation dub. A bunch of people are blaming FUNi on Twttter and on IGN's YouTube as well and with the former, Lauren Moore has been correcting those who tagged FUNi's name to tweets saying that they didn't create it, they just licensed it.
It was likely something bad since Sean Schemmel had posted some angry tweets on Friday & Saturday to Crunchyroll trying to push them to explain to fans why NYAV wasn't brought back. Those tweets have since been deleted. Last edited by NJ_ on Mon Mar 20, 2017 2:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Bang Zoom dubs usually have a separate casting director. As with most recent dubs from them, it's probably Mami Okada. |

The only redeeming quality the movies had was that they surprised everyone and got most of the original dub cast back together for the release here.
I'm not even exaggerating, the only reason I sat through all three of those awful movies was the hear the original band back together again a decade later... On the positive side, I love me some Mela Lee, so her as Schierke will be nice. |

I watched the first few episodes, and for a long-time Berserk dub fan, this dub is a travesty. The Guts voice just sounds so wrong. Not sure I will continue - I already saw it during the original simulcast. The animation is bad enough, now this. I might not consider adding this to my collection.

This is why I love dubs, they're always a win-win for me!
