It was actually Kadokawa USA who licensed TSR and arranged for Sentai to dub it.
I don't know that Sentai and FUNi are on good enough terms for them to work together on anything (although I could have said the same about Crunchyroll before...), but they do already make use of some ex- or even current ADV/Sentai VAs and it's not like the huge commute it would be for VAs from LA. At least one of them (Vic) is now in LA however. I'm not sure about the main character mind... Chris has worked with FUNi before but he's retired at least once. Has he been active lately? |

Will the tone of this new series be light or dark? Funny or serious? 'Cause I enjoyed the Fumoffu season better than the rest.

The Ghost in the Shell recast happened because Production I.G. ordered it, and the Escaflowne recast happened because outsourcing to Canada nowadays is to expensive especially for a series as big as Escaflowne let alone on that they're not sure is gonna do well. As for Trigun ,if nothing else they atleast manage to get JYB back and tried to get 2 of the others back. |

Originally, TSR was not a Funimation license. It was originally licensed and released by Kadokowa Pictures USA. They made the decision to use ADV's studio to dub it, and had Funimation distribute it. Funi had no role in selecting the dubbing studio for that one. If you ever watched any of the early DVD's for it, you'll notice trailers for Kadokowa titles that were not distributed by Funimation, including The Third The Girl With The Blue Eye which was distributed by Right Stuf. When Kadokowa folded their US office, the licenses were generally taken over by the US company that handled distribution, including Funimation for TSR. It's pretty unlikely that Funimation would chose to use another Texas based studio to dub a show, even one as popular as FMP. They shouldn't have much trouble getting back the majority of the main cast, as they all have done work at Funimation. The only one I'm really worried about is Hilary Haag. I don't believe she has done a role at Funimation since Trinity Blood, and only does voice acting as a secondary job. She may not be able to regularly make the commute to Ft Worth for recording. I would really hate it if they had to recast Tessa. Chris Patton stopped working at Funimation for a while, but did two roles last year. So it should be possible to get him in back (in theory anyway.) |

That right there is the million dollar question. FMP actually gets pretty dark and serious as the main plot progresses. I too enjoyed Fumoffu, but after reading the manga and then going through the novels I have to admit the darker tone that occurs later on fits the series better. my .02 cents. As for dub cast.. This is one of the few "rare" times that I have listened to the dub for.. and I thought it was good (gasp). To be honest though.. the fact they are bringing out more is waaaay more interesting then who dubs it. just sayin. |
