War on Geminar! Dub cast

Not a fan of Vic either, he’s a good voice actor, but having seen how he acts in con and real life situations yea isawitplz

Considering they JUST announced the show, year and a half at the least, so more then likely fall 2013-spring 2014 (and no it’s not because it takes a long time to dub, it’s because FUNimation lets them sit and gestitate way too long for no good reason, lol)

I meant “gestate” my bad blushingmadplz (how did I miss that misspelling? lol)

He IS God’s gift to voice acting!!! uh, err, ahem…sorry bout that

Well, Kenshi’s not blonde…therefore Vic can’t do his voice 😆 (I joke, but seriously, look at his anime roles sometime…blondes!!!)

fans can do that with a series, or a person, or a character (case in point: overzealous bronies)

The thing here Mitsuki Lover (even though I’m quoting who), is, don’t ever let the fans bother you from liking or disliking something, (although it does absolutely suck when they are overzealous) base your opinion on the subject itself.

But my reasons for disliking Vic Mignogna are because he “literally” thinks he’s the best, “even better then Steven Blum” (HA) and I’m the type of person who loves humility in a person of great skill or popularity, and the minute I see, hear, or experience you calling yourself “The best in the world”, as well as him being really shallow and pushing his beliefs onto others, yea……. But like I said, he’s a fantastic voice actor and I respect that, he’s definitely in the upper echelon of the best voice actors the R1 market has ever seen, his ego is just too big for his little alchemist body, lol

For Kenshi…how about Joel McDonald? (Minato Sahashi in Sekirei and Jacuzzi Splot in Baccano!). Definitely has that youthful/inexperienced young protagonist sound to his voice imo.

I would totally go on that who! I think if he acted a little bit more “goofy” (Sorry he’s related to Tenchi “Matt Miller” Misaki and Nobuyuki “Jay Hopper” Misaki, there’s gotta be an aloof element to his voice to pass for me, xD lol)

That’s exactly what I did, lol (sadly)

For Aura Shurifon, idk why but I’m picturing–how to word this–not necessarily significantly “deeper” voice, but more serious and/or mature sounding tone. Stephanie Young and Mary Elizabeth McGlynn come to mind.

But see she is deeper then everybody else in the Japanese Dub, and to me personally, that adds to her being the older, adult figure like Mexiah and Flora (not being considered one of the “girls” but one of the “women” type thing.)

They won’t announce a dub cast until its up for pre-order, which…..will be in like a year, year and a half 😆

Considering EVA 3.0 is coming out in Japanese theaters this fall, and it’s been what, 3 years since 2.0? I don’t think so, lol

But yea, late 2013, early 2014

The thing is Mitsuki Lover, they rarely, rarely, RARELY, use anyone who isn’t a freelancer or in-house (Believe it or not their are a plethora of good acting talent out there, but the way FUNimation conducts dubbing you wouldn’t know it)

Fun to do ‘what if’s’ (realistic or otherwise) but if I were a bettin’ man (which I ain’t) the more I think about it (considering Funi’s aptitude to use in-house talent) I’d wager Caitlin Glass will be among the cast (August 27th, 2012, I’m calling it people!)

Man, I’d go all for Chris Sabat, buuuut just to try to throw other names out there, umm…

I’ve got all my money on Sabat, he was the one before anybody else that I said “He’s gonna be Babalun” So we’ll see if our bets pay off in time badassplz

That never stopped them from only getting Johnny Bosch back for Badlands Rumble and Screwing over the voice actors of Wolfwood (Jeff Nimoy), Millie (Lia Sargent) and Meryl (Dorothy Elias Fahn) (which each voice actor promptly and thoroughly described afterwards).

and just recently they re-casted everyone for Shana so, the way I see, there is NEVER a guarentee, no matter how big or popular the show is, I can only pray FUNimation can get their heads out of there stuck up asses long enough to realize Black Lagoon is important enough for them to actually pay voice actors decent pay and keep consistent dub continuity.

They did for Hellsing Ultimate, which was surprising, but I’m sure even they know they can’t cut corners on that one. However, they did not get all the original cast back for the Eva Rebuild movies. Amanda Winn Lee (The original Rei) approached FUNimation about reprising the role, and they told her and I quote (as I’ve talked to her in person on the subject) “No, we don’t want you, this is a FUNimation dub”. And Greg Ayres, who played Kaoru, one of the most catalyst important characters in the show, was told (again, from talking to him, face to face myself, and he bitterly hates FUNimation for this and the other things they do to voice actors) that “Sorry, we want (insert the guy who plays him now) over you, but you can be Kensuke”

Now I know we didn’t exactly start off on the right foot, and I just want to say, I apologize for being overly negative, But this is something very important and near and dear to me and I’m not going to just sit by and let it slide. FUNimation has proven time and time again, that we are the last thing on their list of important things to give a flip about, and in the entertainment industry that kind of mindset should put you out of business. Stuff like that isn’t on accident, it’s just continued unprofessional bullshit from the company who should be leading by example.

Yea when I heard the trailer at the con, I was like “Yep Ulyte sounds exactly how I expected” Wahanly as well, Lashara sounds good, Chiaia was pretty good as well, looks like an overall great cast for the show.

I know I said a little on this earlier but I think the C’s across the board were a bit harsh, but some things he noted like the fanservice and the all over the place characters and plot were definitely warranted of the rating. The Art though deserves at least a B. It may not be outstanding (though the overworld and larger structure shots are fantastic), but it’s certainly not something you see in every anime now a days. The dub obviously is harder to maintain since we don’t have entire episodes to judge by, but the cast so far I think at least SOUNDS better then a C+

At Ohayocon, JG Talked to the rep who is pretty much THE con rep for FUNimation, and it was implied that War on Geminar was like a “test” release for things that weren’t main cast Tenchi, IE “If it does good, we might look into Dual, Photon, Pretty Sammy etc” “If it does mediocre or bombs, you can pretty much axe that idea entirely”

I can almost guarantee you that Magical Project S is never going to see a dub, and if it does, it will be a completely different cast than the original. Sadly magical girl outside of Japan now a days isn’t too hot (or requires Madoka level twists/tone to get over) so the odds are slim to none.

They didn’t dub it because even though it was CONNECTED to Tenchi, it was too far removed from the main cast to warrant a dub (IE Not worth the money to dub). It also didn’t have broad demographic appeal, look at the box covers for the VHS and DVD releases. Aside from Sasami, most Tenchi fans wouldn’t even know who they were, hell I imagine most people who watched Toonami didn’t even know it existed (A lot of people in Tenchi fandom still don’t know the PS OVA exists, let alone MPS), and while Magical Girl seemed like it had a foothold because of Sailor Moon and Card Captor Sakura, those were really the stand-out exceptions, how many other Magical Girl shows did you see on North American TV aside from those? Not many, if any. It is strange that Pioneer of all people wouldn’t dub a show, but keep in mind also that Pioneer never budgeted dubs, meaning they would sink a lot of money into a single dub, so if they knew they couldn’t make a return, they probably weren’t willing to take a chance on it.
