Wait, Jamieson Price was Chad's voice from the whole run of the dub?! I didn't even notice.

Marc Worden was the VA for the first ~80 eps or so, and then Price for the rest iirc.

Yeah I don't get it either. Bleach, like a lot of anime, take place in Japan. Ichigo is an Asian kid ie. a person of color. I'd have no problem with more Asian-American voice-actors or anything but Chad isn't really special in this regard.

I wonder if this means Price won't reprise his voice for the dude in Persona 5 if it gets more sequels or spinoffs.

:confused: you realize Chad is more than just Asian, right. like that's the reason they're getting a new VA. He is very much a second race besides Japanese here.

I know it was never intentional but letting the anime die off/go on hiatus and then come back to it years later was the best thing that could've happened to it because the new episode looks incredible and seeing the manga panels uncensored in the anime makes the war look so much more brutal

but since it's completely uncensored so far I have to wonder if we'll see Ichigo's nudist mother

Never been officially confirmed and probably never will be, but like the manga spends three whole chapters on his "death", there's a dramatic scene of him passing on his wish to Ichigo before "dying", and then multiple characters straight up say "Byakuya Kuchiki has died" which makes it feel like Kubo wanted to kick off the arc with the dramatic death of a beloved character and then got walked back by his editors who were queasy about killing a guy who'd consistently ranked in the Top 5 for the popularity polls going back to essentially his first appearance.

O is for Overcooked

Also, finally finished catching up to the start of TYBW in the manga today :toot:

That last arc… Kinda felt like a whole bunch of sometimes-confusing filler where the only thing of consequence was Ichigo regaining his powers, and half of the Fullbringers just got unceremoniously merced. And what the hell was the seeming importance of the reveal that Kugo was also a deputy Soul Reaper?

He is only speaking for himself, not the whole industry but if the industry wants to adapt that, cool. I don't know how many people of color (black, latino, asian, etc) are in the NA dubbing industry but it's probably not nearly enough to fill out the 30 something arrancar that were floating around

I mean, props to Price for sticking to his guns I guess. Just feels weird to straight up see him say "I'm not voicing people of color". I know he's coming from a good place...but as a People of Color, dunno how I should feel about that.

The last Bleach OP is good. (Spoilers Okay)

One of the few OPs I don't skip, although actually this is a banner season in general what with SxF and Chainsaw Man's as well.

Yeah his heart's in the right place but it's sort of a weirdly arbitrary line to draw to say as a white person you'd voice an Asian character in an anime but not a half-Asian, half-Hispanic character. But hey it's Price's ethics so whatever lets him sleep at night.

Some real banger OP's this season all around. Hell we even got an OP by Franz Ferdinand which is not a phrase I expected to say ever.

His point was part of Chad's character is his pride in his heritage which would be better reflected by someone with that heritage.

For as much of a mess as this whole arc becomes, this newfound animation quality really elevates these fights to extreme levels of hype. Which is all to say: holy poo poo, Yama.

Episode was good, I appreciate that the long hiatus has allowed them to just absolutely ball out on this season so far.

Also hell yeah an expanded conversation between Yhwach and Aizen, hopefully best boy gets more to do in the anime.

I didn't like that they implied Yama just gave up at the end. That was not in the manga, and seems completely against his character. I was hoping they'd do the opposite, and have him and the real Ywach fight at least a little.
