Hey everyone. I'm trying to find the answer to a question that someone presented to me and I've not had any luck so far. The anime Gakuen Alice I've read has been translated and dubbed into English by Animax. What I am looking for is a cast list of the voice actors/actresses for the English dub. I've done quite a bit of searching and found nothing. Thanks for any help you can offer!

Well, I looked at GA's Encyclopedia entry...not only did I not see a news announcement saying that it has been released but there were also no release dates or official English (American) website.

Then, I also went and checked with The Right Stuf International...nada, nothing, zip.

So, my guess, and I'm willing to be proven wrong by others here, is that Gakuen Alice has not been dubbed in English.

Besides that, it says "Broadcaster: Animax-Asia." Somehow I don't think that is an American company. I think that someone oopsed.

Edited for spelling.

LydiaDianne: United States is not the only country using English. The Philippines, formerly an US colony until July 4, 1946, has Animax Asia as their English-dubbed, 24/7 anime channel, as well as many Asian countries/regions like Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, South Korea, plus Latin America.

To answer Triradiates' question: you might have to wait until a Filipino ANN user who knows about their local dubbing talents.

Okay, let me re-phrase:

I don't think that Gakuen Alice has been dubbed in English for an American release.

And thanks for the information about Animax Asia, dormcat.

So I actually got a response from someone at Animax...

Quote:
The voice actors who dubbed Alice Academy are Animax's dubbers. Thanks a lot for supporting them. But we can't reveal any information about them . Please understand.


So I guess that explains where I never could find any info in it. =) Thanks for all the responses and help. Very Happy

Oddly enough, Animax' pages say that Gakuen Alice / Alice Academy is licensed by Animation International, but their site does not list it as one of their properties.

It can be either one or both of the following reasons:

1. Their webmaster(s) forgot updating.

2. AIL is known to be a "middleman" master licensor (e.g. Enoki Films) and redistribute rights to different forms of media. Most merchandise on AIL's page are non-A/V products but peripheral accessories (clothings, stationeries, etc.) so AIL probably only has released the broadcasting right to Animax Asia. It is unknown whether AIL has other rights of Gakuen Alice.
