haha, awesome. I wonder if he'll have to speak Japanese?

I had no idea a Doraemon series was currently running.

Oh my god...

I now love Johnny Depp more than I ever did, which I thought was impossible.

Seriously, like him or not, someone watch Ed Wood and then try to tell me that he isn't majorly talented (that was rhetoric, not a challenge).

I too wonder what language he will be speaking. Maybe he'll record his lines in several different languages, if that's possible.

Well, this certainly made my day. Smile

That's pretty awesome of Johnny Depp to do such a role.

The current Doraemon series has been running in Japan since 1979.

I wonder if Mr. Depp is a closet anime fan. He certainly seems the type. Got to love a man who picks a script because it's based on a theme park ride.

Forget that one, watch Benny & Joon. Now that is a great movie. Although my all time favorite role of his is still Nick of Time. Nothing beats the story of a man trying to save his daughter without committing the crime her captors demand.

Very cool news. Maybe this will get some of his regular fans to turn otaku.

If that's so, I'd like to see his reaction if and when he reads some yaoi doujinshi by some fangirls. Twisted Evil

It would be a crime if this special didn't show in America.

It didn't occur to me that he may have to speak Japanese, or maybe he'll get to speak english and they'll just subtitle it. I don't know what Doraemon is, but I have an impression that it's for children, and that reading subtitles would be annoying for children.

Either way, it's totally awesome that a famous Hollywood star would be guest voice actor in an anime series. I hope it's one step closer for anime to reach "Holllywood" status.

Did anyone see the the video with Deep in Japan? A bunch of little kids started singing and dancing for him in pirate outfits. It was cute.
