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:

Favorite dub of all time, personally, is probably Steins;Gate. I'll admit it has some issues (certain aspects of certain characters, mainly Kurisu, aren't captured quite as well as in the sub; the script has a lot of now-dated references and can be a little overly florid and dense, making it hard for a new viewer to parse), but I still love it.

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.

It's pretty good. I like when Denji says a Testicle Devil went apeshit on Aki's nutsack

Edgerunners has onscreen subtitles for dialogue over the phone that matches the English script

I mean, this is gonna be a weak answer, but it works if the celebrity can voice act, you know? Having a recognizable voice certainly helps but knowing how to properly project your voice and sound good is gonna be the thing that matters. When I watched Weathering with You, Alison Brie sounded really good and Lee Pace was fantastic, but Riz Ahmed, who is a good actor, sounded flat and almost bored. I don't think he was intentionally phoning it in, and "flat" wasn't the worst choice for his character, but he couldn't project the vocal strength to back it up and it unmoored the performance.

I think he might have just been miscast, honestly. Part of his appeal as an actor is that he's very good at underplaying scenes. He's not a big, grandiose actor's actor, is what I'm saying. He's more... quiet and reserved, I guess? He's good, but it makes him the wrong choice for a hardass cop trying to catch the protagonist.

Delicious in Dungeon is very good, yes. I think all of the main four are doing a bang-up job. Rudd and Damien Haas (Laios) are both pretty new to the VA scene (obviously, in Rudd's case) from what I can tell so I'm glad they're acquitting themselves. Besides that, I've been watching Undead Unluck, the dub of which is totally passable. The main reason I bring it up is that language is relatively important in some scenes, with characters usually speaking English diegetically, and the dub handles situations where translation matters amazingly: https://twitter.com/ctlovesanime/status/1762896347764809818

Seems to be Bang Zoom. They don't seem to have an in-house dubbing studio, no. Though on that note, when I watched Summer Time Rendering on Hulu, that show used Roundabout Studios and they cast every single character with an Asian actor, which was kinda neat (though it did end up spoiling who the villain would be, because he was one of like two actors I recognized).
