Nothing is impossible. Just highly improbable. ;D Like I said, Daisuke Namikawa is apart of that "nearly impossible" that has a wide range of voice acting. Jun Fukuyama is another prime example. |

The best part of this trailer is I finally know how to pronounce the name of the freaking show.
Seems like a solid dub though! I don't know half of the dub cast list right off, so thats kind of fun. Im actually really surprised that Bryce Papenbrook isn't Alibaba, but I guess he has SAO going for him right now. |

The way they use the Japanese pronunciation of Magi kinda bugs me when anyone that celebrates Christmas already has a well ingrained pronunciation in mind.
Didn't really like Aladdin's voice the entire time. Sometimes it sounded alright, but other times it got way too close to little girl sounding. Emerje |

And hopefully you mean you would like a real 12 year old boy to voice aladdin, not some 30-40 year old dude who doesn't even sound like a kid. :/ |

He sounded like a girl the entire time in the original Japanese version too y'know. To be honest, I'm glad they went with a female VA. I'd rather not hear a 12 year old boy sound like he's 40 years old but maybe that's just me. |

FUN FACT: Alibaba's VA is the same as Haruyuki Arata's VA from Accel World...
...in BOTH languages!!

Slightly disappointed by Sinbad's voice--the voice type fits fine, but he doesn't sound quite as impressive as he did in Japanese. Of course, it's hard to match Daisuke Ono xD And can't judge too much based on just a couple seconds. Otherwise, though, this dub actually sounds pretty great! Aladdin sounds adorable and Alibaba's voice is spot-on^^

So is the Aladdin character voiced by a man in Japanese? Looking at him, I would've assumed he'd be voiced by a woman.

^He was definitely voiced by a woman in Japanese. Kaori Ishihara, according to MAL.

I like Haberkorn and Seitz as actors but, excepting some NGP roles for Seitz, I've yet to hear either put forth an effort that even comes close to what they do for Funimation when they work for other studios. I'm also not impressed by the other cast members.
I'm also wondering where Robin Williams is. If he had done this then maybe, maybe he could have been deterred from making that very lame new sitcom The Crazy Ones. |

They pronounced it "mah-geek-kah" in Japanese as well. If they didn't people would flip out. When they dubbed stuff like Utena, people complained about the dub mispronouncing Tenjou and Saionji. Now that they mimic Japanese pronunciations, people complain (and sometimes mean-spiritedly mock it). No one EVER complains that Japanese voice actors mispronounce our words. |

Glad they chose newer seiyuu that actually sound good for many of the main roles, and for the more seasoned VA's they chose people who fit well. Seemed like as far as Aniplex dubs went, the time between Durarara and now has been a period of more misses than hits.

The majority of the time I don't like how it sounds when a woman voices a male character. Aladdin's apparent age is pretty young though which makes it better.  |
