I chose to dislike Vic for making this awful thing.

This here is a a director problem, not the fault of the voice actor The director is in charge of everything once that actor is inside the recording booth. If a VA ends up using the same voice as every other role,, it's the director that really doesn't care and figures their type-cast voice will do the job If the actor ends up falling short on a role, that's the director not caring about he final product Have you notice with English dubbed anime, more effort will be put into a higher profile show or something more artsy, while fan-service shows won't sound as great? That's because the director's don't care. This is why a lot of Sentai dubs fall short, because the director's just aren't putting all their effort into the title Wait and see who the director will be for Free!, I'm hoping it'll be Chris Bevins because he did such an amazing job with Karneval |

Okay, I think Vic as Rin is obviously meant for an Ouran cast reunion more so than him (or Todd as Haru) being the right match for their characters. But, whatever; I have no qualms with his voice acting, I've met him in person, and I have heard the ANNCast with him as a guest. But, this gives me high hopes that Caitlin Glass, Monica Rial, and Travis Willingham might play Amakata, Gou, and Sousuke or Coach Sasabe. I really want to buy this now more than ever. |

Or if you're really insistent like me, just buy the Japanese BDs when you can and use the Aegisub subtitles from other (cough) sources. And you should probably correct some of the translation errors that pretty much all versions made: (e.g. "why can't I be free?" in s1 should've been "why didn't you write 'free'?", "I found some guys I want to swim with" is just singular "guy" (Haru) not "guys", and "I can see why you're so taken with him" should be "I can see why you fell for him" which would be the more accurate translation.)

Hehe. Yeah. I imported the first season and I'm currently importing Eternal Summer. But I was really looking forward to this dub release too. Too bad Funimation had to use this guy for my favorite character. :/ I'm not fond of guys who are openly and proudly hateful towards gay people. |

This dub is just one miscast after another. Are we seriously limited to like 15 VA for English dubs?

I wouldn't be surprised if in the US, yes. There's like 3 or 4 dubbing companies? While anime may be gaining popularity here, it's still not nearly big enough to have as big a casting range as in Japan. Voice acting is already a risky business and anime dubs pay pennies. |

A bit iffy, but so what? So he's not a fan of Yaoi, big deal. He's not spreading some anti-gay agenda or anything. Besides, J Michael Tatum, the voice of Rei, is actually gay. If Vic was as much of a homophobe as you're saying he is, I'm pretty sure Vic would refuse to work alongside him. Also, this video was uploaded around 7 years ago. If you're gonna slander someone using a couple of controversial statements as "proof", try and find something more recent. |

according to a DBZ Kai commentary with Sabat and Schemmel, Funi has about 300 people in their talent pool. |

The only reason I'm so mad is because THEY DIDN'T EVEN TRY
Pretty sure they were drunk when casting him... Hahaha let's cast Vic because he's popular and OBVIOUSLY has the perfect voice for Rin *sarcasm* looks like I can add Rin to all my Edward Elric sounding favorites. Tamaki OHSHC and Dark D.N Angel  my bbys forever ruined

Judging from all the bile being spewed here, I'm guessing that Vic probably went to a bunch of people's houses and pissed in their coffee.
I keep seeing the same tired arguments over and over again. Can't you people come up with new material? More importantly, can't people stop being so damn thirsty for Mamoru Miyano and his ilk? |
