There's also the original dub of the three MSG movies, with Gun-drat, British Bright, and Steve Blum as Char

When I was going through my Ghost in the Shell SAC rewatch it really dawned on me how good that dub is. There really isn't anyone I'd recast. 2nd Gig got even better. I also saw the dubbed version of the Laughing Man compilation film that Ocean worked on. David Kaye's version of Batou is uncanny in how similar he plays it to Epcar.

Endorph posted:stuff i find interesting with dubs is when theres lost or unaired pilots/pitches. like apparently a bunch of random precure series had dubs attempted for one or two episodes before Glitter Force happened (and then no more dubs after that) One of the more amusing things is they pitched Yes for this and the pitch Video is on YouTube still. Plus also they designed the buildings to be more western to make it easier to dub which is why you have the awkward look for Brownstone buildings in Japan

Dubs gave us this gem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuPU2EYqXbo Regarding what I consider good dubs: I think the original non-Netflix dub of Neon Genesis Evangelion was good, Steins;Gate was really good, Monster was good aside from goony Lunge, Pluto was great

Arist posted:If you're anything like me, you wish there was a space in ADTRW to talk about dubs and dub voice actors. Well, now there is! Finally, we can have riveting conversations like: BanG Dream! S2 is passable and I give them props for getting a different voice actor for all 31 main characters and it's a shame they didn't continue on to dub S3. But man, they really whiffed it on Revue Starlight. I mostly watch dubs as my rewatch for a series, except in nostalgia cases like Slayers and the various Tenchi series.

I do love that the D4DJ dub has Maho played by her Japanese Seiyuu cause she's fluent in English and they made it a plot for a season 2 episode

While we're throwing names out there I'm sad of how Mix season 2 didn't get a dub. I remember when that first season came out, Funimation had a simuldub going on that almost kept up with the Japanese airing. I was real impressed at how it captured the cadence of a Mitsuru Adachi series in a way that made sense in English, wound up being one of my favorite dubs in awhile. I was hoping that season 2 would get a dub to give me a great excuse to rewatch episodes while it was airing, but alas.

Like I said, Sentai's dub for Vinland Saga S1 is really drat good. I like Kirk Thornton just fine but when it comes to Askeladd I really think David Wald's raspy voice works for the character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDjePCCgNSw A lot of times they miss but when they hit it's great.

Kirk Thornton is good but I agree Sentai really comes out with the superior output here If you search my name and that fucker Kaiji Tang (who is in the Netflix dub) ive said it a million times, but he just flat out loving sucks, his voice is so wack, he sounds like the gooniest fuckin dweeb trying way too hard to sound tough in all his roles He was trash as Kenshiro in the FOTNS Musou, he was trash as Guts in the trash Berserk 2016 adaptation, dude is just so distractingly bad

Speaking of Berserk it also has a great dub and they kill Goku.

For real though, Tang's got a good voice. He's good in more hard-boiled roles because there's a natural gravel there but I think he really shines when he gets to take advantage of how inviting and jovial he can sound.

Practice as Trails of Cold Steel's Sara Valstein prepped her for the role of alkie caregiver with Misato in the Eva re-dub (which was... oof).

Anyone catch the Pluto adaptation on Netflix? Pretty standard crew of anime VAs, decent enough performances, and one badly translated kid's song, but uh they did spring for Keith motherfucking David for Dr. Tenma. . I didn't see it coming and it was delightful.

I didn't see it coming and it was delightful. Always love seeing 'real' actors in anime roles. I remember how hard they pushed the little-remembered sequel to Armitage III, Dual-Matrix with Kiefer Sutherland and Juliette Lewis in the leads. The original had Elizabeth Berkley! (Were they any good? No. Voice acting is a skill.) Then there's Macross Plus which is remembered entirely for the soundtrack but it had Bryan Cranston in the lead.

I remember coming across the El-Hazard OVA dub and how amazing it was in a time when this was not normally the case let's say. It's even a master class of localization since the main villain has five sidekicks that in the original are named after Japanese comedians people outside of Japan aren't going to know so in the dub he names them after the Marx brothers.
