Hmmm.... Solid cast so far, but I really need a dub sample/preview to see whether this will work or not.

That being said, I will pre-order the BD/DVD set from day 1 anyway

No Kurapika announcement?

This dub will be interesting, particularly roles like Hisoka, and Gon. Erica is really going to have to show her chops with Gon.

Both Gon and Killua were voiced by women in the Japanese dub.

It's standard practice everywhere, but Cristina does not have any boy credits AFAIK which is why I was also a bit surprised.

I was thinking the same thing - where's Kurapika?? (Maybe Kate Higgins). Also kinda surprised with the given cast but it should be good. Still was kinda hoping that Mercer would play Kite.

Huh, interesting... I wasn't aware of all her casting roles so thanks for telling me.

Sorry, I wasn't try to sound like an ass or anything, It's simply down to me seeing people complaining about the casting choices simply because of their gender.

Well I'm definitely interested. So far I'm on board, but I hope this is a hint that we'll at least see a set 1 released by the end of the year.....hopefully.

Still waiting for that BD release. Glad for more information though. At least I know it's on the way now.

You can hear a short clip of Gon, Kurapika and Leorio here: https://twitter.com/NebsTV/status/711309298123587584

Kind of funny we don't know who's voicing Kurapika yet, despite getting a voice clip of him. Razz But the cast looks (and sounds) promising so far.

I loved the 1999 series, but it didn't have the best dub. Here's hoping the equally awesome 2011 series delivers a great one to make up for it! Really looking forward to the premiere. Very Happy

I'm really surprised they announced Hisoka before Kurapika, but the cast looks (and sounds) promising so far. So happy it looks like the 2011 is going to get a nice dub, after how the 1999 series' dub turned out.


Kurapika sounds pretty good, can't tell who it is.

from the short clip from viz media's dub, i'm on board with kurapika's voice (it's pretty great honestly) but i 'm not really getting the feel for leorio's voice and gon's voice. hopefully a longer clip will fix this.
