Agreed. Casting by fan poll may have SEEMED like a good idea to get the viral campaign active, but voice actors should be cast by professionals. Of course, that's assuming that these professionals have a good grasp of the characters, the storyline, and interactions within the cast in relation to the storyline. All are important deciding factors that, many times, fans will ignore in place of their favorite voice actor or actress - getting the right voice for the character is more important than electing a fan favorite. |

Voices for Itsuki:
1: Johnny Yong Bosch 2: Yuri Lowenthal 3: Steve Staley 4: Dave Witenburg 5: Crispin Freeman Interesting that Crispin Freeman is in this one, so The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya will definitely be union. Anyway, we got roles left for Kyon and Haruhi. These two roles are the most important, so Kadokawa better not screw up these characters in the casting. I guess they'll leave the singing in Japanese since that song is very popular and will be ruined if sung in English. The same goes for Mikuru's episode 00. |

Kyon's #5 sounds way too old.
I went with #2. I liked him for Kyon. #3, no, #4, decent (overacted a bit), #1 was also decent. But #2 was the one that really stood out to me as having Kyon's sarcastic edge. Last edited by 8daze on Sun Dec 31, 2006 3:32 am; edited 1 time in total |

I don't think any of them captures Kyon's dripping sarcasm... *sigh* 3 was probably the closest...

I guess for me it goes like this. If they have the audacity to replace the songs in English then I will probably not buy R1 DVD in protest. I just can't see them being this sacrilegious after all that they've done. ^^ As for Kyon's voice, I picked #2. It was quite easy for me. |

Kyon's is hard. Of course, we pretty much knew it'd be hard to find a good English voice for him in the beginning. Like I've seen people say in other places, it's a shame that Chris Patton can't voice him.
 But I just don't know who to choose here. 3 & 5 are outa the question, but I can't decide with the others. I like 1 & 4's voices, but the personality sounds all wrong. Crispin Freeman at #2 gets the personality down, but I don't think his voice fits (especially if he gets really worked up).
I don't know about Mikuru's song. The point of it is that it's supposed to sound bad & home-made by a girl with a mic in her room. So I can see them translating that one, & I don't think that's a bad idea. |

Oh gods, as if the Itsuki audition wasn't hard enough. Crispen (#2) has the acting down pretty solidly, as well as the delivery, but his voice is too high. Liam O'Brien (#1) has the best voice but he needs Crispen's delivery, articulation and speed...as such, I selected him. Man, this was painful, even for someone who favours dubs like myself. #4 would come in second place for my vote, followed by #2.
I heard O'Brien's performance as Garcher wasn't all that great, though, so hopefully (if selected) he will give a stellar performance for Kyon, provided he gets the acting down. |

OMG! Johnny Yong Bosch and Crispin Freeman? Man, this just keeps getting better.
Honestly, JYB sounded the best out of the 5 as Istuki, and CF sounded the best out of the 5 as Kyon, so that's how I voted. |

Crispen Freeman all the way for Kyon!
#3 sounds like a drama queen (that's right: a queen!), #5 sounds like the guy who does action film trailer voice-overs, #1 sounded too easygoing. #4 was OK. He kind of reminded me of Dante from "Clerks" (Brian O'Halloran as Kyon: now that I would kill to hear). Still: Crispin Freeman was who I always thought of when I heard Kyon in my head; and he did not disappoint. #2, baby! |

Crispin for Kyon.
Johnny for Itsuki. Stephanie for Mikuru. Kate or Michelle for Yuki, Haruhi casting dependent. .....Haruhi...1st choice Kari Wahlgren, 2nd choice Kate, 3rd choice Michelle. Assuming they auditioned. [AS] needs to be all over this series. |

I voted for 2, Crispin. #3's the only voice that actually made me *cringe* during this entire process. It sounds like he's reading off of a script. (I'm sure he is, of course, but it shouldn't be that obvious.) It doesn't sound right at all. #5's definately too old sounding....#1's okay. #4's decent, but...there's this 'surfer dude' vibe I got from some of the lines.
 Probably just my imagination, but overall I definately like #3.
