Colleen as Erza was pretty much a gimme.

Some hits and misses. Not really sold on Todd Haberkorn as Natsu, all of the voices I've heard him do (from FMA:B, DBZ:K, Soul Eater, Kenichi) are mostly dry and emotionless. I have a hard time believing he can keep up with Natsu's energy.

I bet she will kill Lucy. I've been in mourning for FT ever since hearing about the acquisition. This cast listing just reinforces my disappointment.

Heh yeah, Riza Hawkeye's voice and Erza, total gimme, but should be quite fun and badass to listen to. Smile

Yeah I'm highly interested in how he tackles this as I've liked him in those other roles but this is totally different from what I've heard him as so far.

I've never seen Fairy Tail, but I have a hard time thinking that Todd Haberkorn could pull off Natsu (from what I've been told, he's a character very-much like Luffy). Haberkorn's voice was the most unpleasant thing in the Seto no Hanayome dub =\

So it would be better if Funimation, and the staff of Fairy Tail not get more money buy showing this series in America?

XXXHolic would like to have a word with you. Todd can do spazzy, he played freaked out Watanuki. I'll see a few episodes first before deciding. I do like the manga so I think I'll see a few subbed episodes too.

Don't count Funimation's eggs before they hatch.

Me too. I could totally see her as Lucy for some reason.

Aside from Death (...thought he played an OCD fairly well...), this is why I'm thankful for watching Druaga and Kero-Kero; completely sold for him playing a Luffy clone.
Take into account that Natsu's seiyu does have some roles playing moody, somewhat angst-y characters and all doubt should absolve.

I second this.

I also look forward to Pittman; remember Eden of the East's dub? Perfect choice for Nakamura. Heck, better choice than Hiyama's take on Panty...

ugh, I did not like Todd as Keroro one bit but we'll see how he does as Natsu. I reserve all judgement until actually viewing.
