Hmm, Travis playing someone outside of his fire element would be pretty interesting^^. Is J. Michael the same dude who played Dalton in One Piece and Scar in FMA Brotherhood? cause if he is, I would approve of him too. As for Juvia, hmm, who do we know that can be cute and psycho nuts? What are the ol english Higurashi cast doing nowadays?

I'll tell you what they're not doing: being Funimation cast members. Except maybe Kyle Hebert (he played Tomitake, a.k.a. Mr. Super-Happy-Glasses-Wearing-Throat-Scratchy Cameraman).
Higurashi wasn't dubbed by Funi. It dubbed by Geneon Entertainment, and then it was licensed by Funi. Key word: "was." (Which means chances for Higurashi Kai getting a dub have gone down the tubes.) But if they did happen to dub for this, would Mela Lee make a good Juvia? (Considering who played Rena in Japanese...)

I remember how everyone was clamoring for Johnny Yong Bosch to be in every new Funimation dub, even though I can only count about two or three Funi dubs he was in out of the dozens to hundreds of dubs Funi has done.

The Trigun movie, actually, and pretty much just that. He also made a cameo appearance in the first Fullmetal Alchemist anime as Lujon, the doctor of the village where everyone was dying of a disease that turned them into stone. Then again, that anime was one of the only anime out there to feature voice actors from all four major dubbing regions in North America (Dallas, San Fransisco, New York, and Vancouver).

(ignoring the dialog changes)
At first I wasn't impressed... Nastu just sounded too normal , Lucy sounded too young/teeny and not quite as unique or full of herself as the RAW Lucy did, and Happy like a 6 year old girl and not even close to sounding like a boy, plus the Ayes weren't nearly as good as the RAW kinda like the voice actor didn't quite get how to use them (Happy was all over the place between cute, being humorous, and having an attitude... it felt like whatever high pitched voice the actor could get and didn't care beyond that). At least I was satisfied with the background cast. Aquarius was pretty good though... though she could use even more fest. Then Lucy started to get pissed and I was like, ok, so she sounds a bit young but that's the right attitude , then Happy stated to get a bit better with the Aye deliveries, though he didn't grow on me as like Lucy did. I'm still not sure about Natsu since I didn't quite feel his crazy rage moments right or his stupidity moments right either. Lucy = B-, Happy = C, Natsu = D-... Over all for the dub C+. Maybe I'm just too much a fan of the RAW voices, since I rate them all as A's (Lucy and Happy A+'s though). At least this English dub was way better then that other one I heard where there was like only 4 actors playing all the roles. That one earned a F- in my books For a first episode dub it wasn't too bad... though I see that there is lots of room for improvement. Maybe Erza, Gray and the rest of the supporting cast will save the Dub. We knew going in that Funimation would recycle voice actors, so it's stupid to complain about that.

Can't wait to hear Erza around ep 4 (Hawkeye's VA should be so perfect), and Gray and a bunch of the Fairy Tail members next time. Unrelated but this show still has such a fantastic soundtrack, the BGMs are sooo good Last edited by DangerMouse; 2011-10-02 at 17:52. |

^ Second ep dub
Wow, vast improvement with Lucy, Happy, and especially Natsu. Kudos to the returning voice actors all round. Now as to the newly introduced cast. Loki, Elfman, and Mirajane where all great to me each sounded like there roles very nicely (though improvement isn't out of the question). Makarov and most of the other supporting cast could use some work but weren't bad either... kinda like how I saw Happy last ep (they're just not quite in the characters heads yet). Makao, Romeo, and Nab weren't bad either... The voice that was the best IMHO of the new cast I found to be Jerral (Gerard) (runners up would be Loki, Elfman, and Mirajane)... I'm actually kinda looking forward to Tower of Paradise/Heaven arc, especially if he improves in the role like the rest of the cast has. He actually sounds powerful, knowledgeable, yet young too, with a hint of potential evil lurking behind his tone. The worst of the new cast IMHO would be Gray, but mostly since his tone seemed a bit all over the place and he wasn't quite in in character (kinda like how I viewed Natsu last ep). Though if this ep is any sign he will get a lot better fast. The biggest shock in the voice was Taurus... I mean the accent was just I won't ruin the surprise of hearing him for the first time any further. Lets just say he should fill his comedic role very nicely
