Already? Holy shit! Did NOT expect to hear a dub so soon.
This completely disrupts all my predictions. Jamie Marchi alone set me back several guesses; figured she would play Irina. Guess I am getting out of practice. Well, back to the drawing board. Lindsay Seidel, I remember her Ruka in Steins;Gate. Good choice. |

What do you know? Sonny actually commented on my Youtube statement! Sure that didn't mean I wont be critical in my response back to him. But I apreciate it.
Everything you said is so true. People are basically paying for a beta that is wildly irationally paraphrased by fans as, "Sentai quality dub." Lucky for me I got some cash to subscribe for a month of these. And besides, what will happen to the fixed/upgrade version? Will they be on the site? Or only availible for the physical release? If the later, then that is another paywall to go around. And its going to flop badly. Making fixes or updates is still going to cost some money and resources to figure what fix or broken peice in the original dub is going to be on the physical release or not. Everything would just be better if they did'nt have to worry about rushing it out and just do 3 or so episodes of them at the half season/cour mark of the show. It makes Sentai Filmworks the new and improved Funimation.

With dubs I tend to wait about six episodes before I see where people are with their roles. It just takes time like with anything. Sonny sounds like he'll be a fun Korosensei as he's definitely good at silly characters. Heck, Koro even laments acting seriously because he thinks it ruins his rep as a gag character. We'll get a better picture with the dub premier.

I think it's still too early to form a complete opinion but I really really wanted Ian Sinclair to be Koro Sensei. He just has that deep, "Laaaadies and Gentlemen" kinda voice that I think would be PERFECT for Koro Sensei. I love Sonny! Don't get me wrong, but I just didn't feel it in that clip. And I totally agree with whoever said "ehhhhhhhhh". That said I'm very much looking forward to the onslaught on broadcast dubs beginning in like two days. OMGTOKYOGHOUL! Which I honestly figured they would wait on TG because it's such a HUGE show and the fans are really dedicated to it. I figured they'd wait and dub it chronological order. ANEHHOOOO hella stoked. yay!

I made a comment on YouTube that was similar to the one I posted here, and Sonny himself actually responded to my concerns over playing the part too straight. According to him, it was done that way on purpose, because the humor of the scene comes from Koro Sensei staying completely calm while all the students fire at him. He mentioned that even the Japanese seiyu played the scene completely straight. But then he told me not to worry; he gets PLENTY crazy and wacky in later scenes.

In my head, I immediately associate that Sonny voice with Maes Hughes, which can be both good (Hughes is awesome!) and bad (voice too similar).

I'd be REALLY surprised if they don't have some sort of contract or agreement with the actors that if they're going to work on the broadcast dubs, it's expected that they'll come back and help perfect the dub later. This isn't a situation where, say, a movie comes out several years after the original and the actors might have moved on to other things. The broadcast dubs are being created with the expectation that they're going to be fixed up for the disc release later. I'm sure everyone involved in creating the dub has been made aware of that ahead of time and know the sort of work schedule they're getting involved in. |

Not to mention that, at least in this particular dub, all of the actors currently still live in Texas. You don't see anyone in the cast who's known for running back and forth between Flower Mound and L.A. like Mignogna, Haberkorn, and Cherami. |

If on average these dubs turn out to be at least passable, this is going to be very embarrassing for Sentai.
Aniplex often make dubs only months after the show finishes airing but they're mostly very good. Funimation dubbed Space Dandy as it aired in Japan and it was also amazing. After a huge delay as a direct consequence of some really dumb decisions Sentai finally dub Chuunibyou, one of the most popular anime of 2012, over 2 years after the show finishes airing (Well after the completely unnecessary Season 2 and recap movie caused a steep decline in the show's popularity) and it turns out... okay-ish. Which is actually a great deal above Sentai's miserable average. I hope I don't have to wait until March to see the Yurikuma cast. |

I have no comment on the dub, I'm just curious if they know what they really mean with the term "Dubblespeak".
"Well, it's a dub and its a double to the original Japanese simulcast." No, that would be Dubbling. Dubblespeak directly invokes 1984's Doubletalk. If we should be watching Funimation, are they watching right us back? I did not know the internet could do that. Wait, Sonny Strait is directly answering yuotube comments? Freaky! Still, I'm not giving them money to listen to a Dub Beta; That's what Sentai's for {I like them but then again, I'd take Ocean over any California dub}. |

Well...THAT was fast...
One the one hand it's not like I'm used to the Japanese cast yet so it makes judging on it's own merits a bit easier, on the other hand I feel a bit iffy on Korosensei, there was ONE point where I felt it worked and maybe it will work out for the rest of the show but otherwise it just sounds a tad odd... Otherwise it sounded pretty decent. |

i felt the same way,but i trust sonny to get it right,being one of their veterans and all. from what i gather funi is trying out new voice talent/ new directorial approaches to their show,which is usually and greatly appreciated. I haven't really listened to a many of the new dubs lately from any of the companies,not because they are bad,but mostly as i have been busy with many of the awesome live action ventures we are getting these days. one thing i can say without hesitation is that funi is one of the few companies that remain consistently good throughout their run of dub productions,and i don't see his one being different. sure their voice talent pool is small,but thats what you get for working with a texas based company,based on a niche product/genre of entertainment. |
