Didn't expect to see Clancy Brown's name in this dub.

I can't believe they got Clancy Brown for this anime. That is so cool.

So Clancy Brown is the equivalent of Ginarcalo Esposito in terms of “he’s seriously in this?”

Not that I’m complaining.

Don’t know why anybody’s shocked yes he’s mostly associated with voicing Mr Krabs and hasn’t been involved in anime production since 1994 but still funny.

Pom Poko was dubbed in 2005.

If anything, I more positively baffled to see Kentaro Tone in more of major roles, he's literally been hidden for years with his only biggest role up to date was being part of Utawarerumono franchise despite being in industry for ~20 years.

I know that Clancy Brown has had various roles in live-action works, I just recently rewatched Highlander where he played Kurgan, but looking at his resume his has been doing tons of voice work since the early '90s, but I guess for English-speaking audiences it's kind of surprising hearing him in an anime, which as a Spanish-speaker I find it kind of odd, because I watch tons of dubbed content, and it's pretty normal for dub VAs to work on everything, from cartoons, anime, video games and live-action dubbing, using Edgerunners' first season as an example, in the Latin American Spanish dub Rebecca is voiced by Melissa Gedeón, who is also well known for voicing characters like Pinkie Pie from MlP, D.Va in OverWatch and Mitsuri in Demon Slayer.
Like I know that voice acting and anime dubbing works different in the U.S., but would it be weird hearing VAs who mainly work on cartoons working on anime dubs? Speaking about SpongeBob, has Tom Kenny worked on an anime dub?

Not if the sequel will live up to the first one but I hoping it does achieve critical and audience success.

Wow Rico Nasty was not a name I was expecting to see here. This song is going to do for her what the Arcane opening theme did for J.I.D. Massive exposure.

Happy to see a fellow Maryland native doing big things.
