The only surprising from that announcement is that Josh Grelle wasn't the male lead as he is usually typecasted as generic male harem lead in most Funi and Senti dubs.

I never thought I'd say this but, wow, it's been a while since I've heard Greg Ayres in something.

I am a bit sad that this will be the 3rd set of VA's for Hakkai & Gojou but I am beyond stoked that they got Ayres and Matranga back as Goku and Sanzou. They were great in those roles for the first 50 episodes before Geneon took over the show. I do wish they could have gotten Tony Oliver somehow as Gojou (his was the one VA change when Geneon took over that I liked more) but this will do quite nicely.

So is it official that Brittany Lauda is basically doing simuldubs for the time being? She's in quite a lot.

Three out of five ain't bad (counting Vic returning as Kougaiji). Smile I think the "newbies" will do fine in their roles. I can already hear Ian as Gojyo. Smile

I really like the cast of My First Girlfriend Is A Gal. Yukana is sure to bring plenty of fun to an already lively party. Smile

Dave Trosko: *takes one look at Yukana and picks up the phone*

"Hey, Jamie, I got a role for you."

Jamie Marchi: "Is it ANOTHER boobie lady?"

Dave: "... Should I answer that?"

Jamie: "*long heavy sigh* Just let me know when I need to come in."

Oh so it is a reprisal, I thought that it was weird to see Greg Ayres in a Funimation dub, as he hasn't been in one for while now.

what do you consider "a while"? just simple curiosity, since he was in Drifters, Danganronpa 3, and Saiki K last year

I didn't know that he was in the other 2, I only knew about Drifters.

OK, I thought that it was weird to see Greg Ayres in a Funimation dub, as he is not in them as much as he was in the early 10s.

I'm not as familiar with Ian honestly. Though I suppose I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. I know from talking with him in the past Goku was always one of Greg Ayre's favorite roles. If you bring him one of the 2 original dvd single covers that had Goku on them for a signature he has special things he signs for them and only them.

I am one of those people. When it comes to dubbing anime with girls who can be seen as "tramps" or "skanks", I think Jamie or Alexis Tipton have the right voice for that.
