Yeah, back in the dub for Final Act (and the replacement later reprised her role in Yashahime). I believe her original VA Moneca Stori retired from acting or something

And while he was able to reprise Miroku in the first episode of Yashahime, Kirby Morrow unfortunately did pass while the dub was in production and had to be recast for his next appearance.

Oh, that's more reasonable. I hope she enjoys her retirement. But I will miss her. I never watched the Final Act, I should get around to that some day.

Yeah, he was voiced by Ian Corlett in the rest of the dub (who wasn’t too bad in the role to be fair)

There are some shows where I kind of like the Japanese and English dubs pretty much equally, Slayers (even though Sylphiel‘s original English VA could not act to save her life), and Cowboy Bebop (which I actually think works a little better in English for some reason) for example

The dubs for Soul Eater/Not and Fairy Tail weren’t bad either (Inuyasha/Yashahime as well though I vastly prefer Kagome’s original dub actress)

This is some excellent taste here. Fairy Tail and Inuyasha have two of the best dubs ever.

And Kagome's original dub VA was perfect. It's just not the same without her.

Is there a particular reason why Moneca quit acting out of curiosity? Her replacement Kira Tozer isn’t terrible per se but she doesn’t really bring the same energy to the role in my opinion

Also I was talking about this in the Final Fantasy thread of all places earlier but does Ocean still do anime dubs? They did the Inuyasha sequel maybe? I don't think they do Gundam at all anymore and I just haven't heard them in forever.

I'm not sure, I've never heard a reason. It just happens sometimes. There's a voice-actress named Lia Sargent who was in basically every anime dub from the early 2000s and I know her as Shion from the JRPG series Xenosaga. But after reprising her role as Shion in Episode 3 due to popular demand back in 2006, I think she just vanished and I haven't heard her in anything since.

The Ocean dub is still the best (official) dub of DBZ. :colbert: DBZA is the best, though.

It looks like the most recent dub they've produced is Tobot Galaxy Detective, a dub of a Korean cartoon that started in 2020 and seems to be ongoing. Their last Japanese anime was Zoids Wild in 2019.

They worked with Crunchyroll on Gintama back in 2016. Apparently they also did one of the Zoids shows that came out two years back.

They had some great voices but they were held back by a godawful script.

But at this point in my life I consider DBZ a massive pile of poo poo anyway so what does it matter. Dragonball ended with Dragon Ball.

DBZ has some die-hard dub haters and critics out there but even on places like that they generally recognized Stephanie Nadolny was perfect s Kid Goku.

Hm, that is still closer than I knew. Did anybody ever watch that Zoids series? I was warned off Fuzors and Genesis a long time ago but maybe they corrected course and made another good series.

I know some people stan New Century Zero, and it was good, but I'm all about Guardian Force. Chaotic Century, the first part, is okay, but GF is just incredible.

Speaking of dubs, this dub is nowhere near as good as NCZ's but it has a charm, and Hiltz's VA is legit awesome. Also I think Irvine is Domon from G Gundam.

When I worked tech support I talked to the lady who did the Ocean dub of Frieza in DBZ because she wanted to speak with a supervisor about how helpful the person she got was. She was a sweetheart but it was so surreal having Frieza on the line telling you how pleased he was with the young man who was just on the phone. I just thought she was a lady that smoked a lot of cigs until she said something about how she "used to do some VO work" and when I looked her up it all clicked.

I assume it’s basically the same thing you see with popular voice actors like the Critical Role guys who mostly stopped doing anime dubs (besides maybe reprisals) because it’s a lot of vocal strain and doesn’t pay great.

Frieza dealing with tech-support and other office stuff would be a genius comedy idea for someone like Team Four Star to riff on.

I'm the complete opposite. But I think for me it's hard to separate the association I have with American accents and the image I have of them, so it's reeeally jarring to see some teen isekai protagonist sound like a late-twenties California dude.

YouTube isa lot better once you turn off all history/targeted recommendations, and start blocking every channel you never want to see again as they appear in your recommended feed.

Taken me years and thousands of "do not recommend this channel" clicks but I'm happy.

That, plus turning off all the ad recommendation stuff in your Google account proper, and turning off autoplay.

Then, on the Home > recommended tab i just hit this whenever i see a channel i don't care about and never want to see again:



And if you're on phone/tablet, you can even do it to videos that show up in the sidebar while playing one (afaik you can't do this on browser):



I've found that discord shares your chatlogs to YouTube for keywords, and there's nothing you can really do about that. It's the only way to explain why I've gotten videos recommended to me that are French language when discord is the only place i ever type it.
I wish YouTube would just let me blacklist certain keywords from appearing in video titles; asmr, mukbang, viral, *pos YouTube chud here*, etc.
