Interesting. I had thought there would be aliases used in Wanna be the Strongest, but not a name change in sight. A little disappointing

Cristina Vee is doing work for FUNi now? Though I knew she was in the Hyperdimension Neptunia dub, so I would guess that this came with the trip to Dallas.

Ooh, always a pleasure to hear Aaron Dismuke's voice! He was the lead of something else recently right? I wonder how he's doing these days. Hope he's doing well and doing something with himself.

I feel sorry for FUNi that they actually paid money to dub Strongest, let alone license it. I don't care how cheap it is, they can choose better slop than that.

Alphonse Elric and Soul Eater Evans are our ping pong protagonists...
I'm onboard for this dub. Nice to see Aaron Dismuke in the lead role and Micah Solusod I'm a big fan of since Jormungand and the A Certain series.

I was curious to see how they would handle Kong's voicing. Neat!

I'm so happy Ping Pong is getting a release here.

Very curious to see what FUNimation/Alan Chow plans to do with Wenge.

It's extremely vital to his character I feel that he (at least initially) is dissociated from the rest of the cast aside from his translator. No idea how they could do that and still have Wenge speak English.

That said, I'm thrilled that I won't have to import this Yuasa show from Australia.

Is it me or is Monica Rial getting casted a lot lately?

Anyway, I'm excited for the Ping Pong dub!

Speaking of Masaaki Yuasa, I'm still waiting on a BD release of Tatami Galaxy. Of course, this will never happen because why would Funi do anything good?

That Ping Pong trailer, though! FUNi trailers never disappoint.
Anyone know where I can listen to their trailer music? Very Happy

I'm curious about how successful Ping Pong will be. It has "ugly" art and is not a T&A show, BUT it does have the Tekkon tag attached to it. I hope it does really well. I'm a HUGE fan of Taiyo Matsumoto. (Anyone else here LOVE Sunny?)

For those of you who have seen the anime, does it include the manga's full story or only an arc? I see the manga is 5 volumes so I could see it going either way.
