Hm, haven't heard of some of these folks. This should be interesting, at least.

It's kind of surreal to see a dub come out before the show has even finished, I'm used to watching the show, and then a few months later, sometimes more, a dub is announced and promptly released.
There was a short period around the end of the 00s and beginning of the 10s, where dubbing seemed to have taken a steep decline, probably due to piracy. But now things seem to be on the up and up. |

Alex Organ was Togusa in Ghost in the Shell: Arise and a guy named Shogo in Psycho-Pass (coincidentally, Crispin Freeman played a guy with that name in Rurouni Kenshin).

Never heard of Decim's VA before, but the rest of the cast looks good (and I just realized the black haired lady isn't named yet). The clip sounds solid as well, although I would've preferred Decim to have a deeper voice.

Glad that Alex Organ is casted in this. Loved him when he voiced Shogo Makashima.

Its not just that more & more people have been wanting more subbed anime. And to be honest I like how they added not very many well-known VAs. Last edited by Felicity dash on Tue Feb 17, 2015 6:36 pm; edited 1 time in total |

I did not see any of these coming. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Looking at the Relationship section of "Bonny Elizabeth Clinkenbeard" on Facebook, I found that Colleen is Bonny's older sister.

Meh, wasn't a fan of Alex Organ as Shogo Makishima. He sounds a tad bland but that might work for his role here. Rest of the cast looks good though.

Well, the dubbed version may come out a while after the Japanese version, they might be recording it while the sub is airing. |

Wonder if the point of casting Newbies for the simulcast dubs is for Funimation to get back at people who complain that they only use the same VAs. I like Alex as Decim but I need to hear more from the other characters.

It's kind of a Catch 22 situation. People want experienced, recognizable VAs, but they also don't want to hear the same ones over and over again. But if you don't give new ones a shot, they can't get the experience they need to become well-respected veterans. Of course, this limits the talent pool. It's sort of a case of, "Yeah, well as long as the anime I like the most isn't the test bed." But the argument can be made that VAs should start in minor roles, establishing themselves before they take leading ones. |

So did no one notice the accidental pun in Alex Organ as Decim?
...I'll leave now. |
