Well, it probably will, unless Pizza Hut USA either 1) Doesn't like free advertising (especially among the college-aged, pizza-based diet demographic that makes up a good portion of adult swim's viewers), or 2) For whatever violence-related reason or whatnot doesn't like free advertising from something like Code Geass. |

Johnny can be high pitched, like Clause from Last Exile, or in extreme cases, Renton from Eureka Seven, but he can do the deeper voices just fine (Ichigo from Bleach).

I was honestly hoping that they would be able to get Crispin Freeman to play as Lelouch. But JYB voice does not have the commanding presence that lelouch Seiyu has which is one of the things that made Lelouch so awesome.

I wouldn't call JYB as Ichigo deep, which is why I was not excited to hear he is playing Leoluch. Him as Ichigo took some getting used to, but I would be amazed if he could pull off a consistantly lower, or if not lower, commanding and arrogant believable tone. His previous roles have shown some flexibility, but his Ichigo has an almost squeal property to it like Renton and we all know what Vash Sounds like. I don't doubt he can go lower, I just don't know if I can believe it, JYB's roles have comedic asides, if he can do serious well, it won't matter I suppose. |

Bah, Pizza Hut should capitalize on it abit. No sense in wasting a unique way to advertise thier wares. (Yeah yeah, I know i've harped on Transformers product placement before, but seriously, Bay is an advert whore compared to Code Geass.) |

Actually, it is good news for us. If it didn't air in the US, chances are very low that it would air in Canada. While this by no means guaruntees it will air on YTV, it is sort of half the battle. You can pretty much count on a DVD too. The only reason for no Blood+ one is that it is licenced by Sony who don't normally do anime. This is Bandai though so no DVDs would be pretty much inexplicable.
I know some people have issues with SEED, but you can't discount the fact that it ran edited down to a TV-Y7 rating and even then didn't begin to do truely terrible until it was basically scrapped and moved to the 1:00 AM timeslot. It aired properly in Canada and it did quite well getting several repeat broadcasts and even the airing of the sequel. |

First episodes? You mean the first episode (note the singular form), right? That's the only one that I remember being heavy on this nationalism you're talking about. But yeah, the show was controversial at that point, even in Japan. |

About the nationalism: They could just dub "Nippon banzai!" as "Death to the British!"... then Americans could think of it as a War of Independence sort of thing

Looks like Bandai are going all out with this release, hopefully people watching it on AS don't react to it like a certain person did in the Code Geass preview on the Fall 06 fansub guide *whistles*
Anyway nice English dub cast, thank god they went with Zero Limit and L.A talent instead of Ocean. Doubt I'll watch the English version on the DVDs (Japanese cast is stellar) but it looks like it will avoid being cringe worthy which will help in keeping an audience on AS. |

Hmm a lot of good voice actors but set in roles they typically aren't typecast as. This could be interesting. I'm almost surprised it's going onto Adult Swim... well, I guess it's not too different from what they've been airing.
... They won't be calling CC "C2" in the dub, will they? |

Lowenthal as Lelouch was actually the first that popped into my mind when I heard that Animaze will handle the dubbing -judging by his previous roles, he will be able to pull off the arrogance and sophistication about Lelouch's character and will sound more close to the JP seiyuu. Crispin Freeman will sound a bit too deep for Lelouch, IMO. Now that I think of it, he might make a good Mao. While there's a slim chance that the cast will change, I hope that those at Bandai will get how displeased the majority of the fans is and recast the roles according to who fits a character the best. |

 Geass on Adult Swim, Yay!  This is exactly what I was hoping for! Now I finally have a chance to check this series out after how freaking awesome I hear this series is. Can't Wait!
Although from the sound of it, I'm not too excited about what some of you are saying about the casting job.  But I don't know, it could be pretty interesting to see if some of these guys can go out of their typical characters and try newer kinds of roles. We'll see I guess.
Now we just have to hope for Gurren Laggan (yeah, like that'll ever happen  ) and Darker than Black to get on there as well, one being a series I really want to get into and the other being one I have to finish.

xD HA!
Take That, Haruhi!!! I can laugh at everyone that thought they would put that series on AS. x_x I'm so glad that it's not. I heard so much about CG that I want to watch it too. ;__; heeey, I like Ocean! Last edited by tygerchickchibi on Mon Dec 10, 2007 7:33 am; edited 1 time in total |
