As with just about every role that JYB gets, I agree it's a miscast. The best VA performance he's done was for the 2001 re-dub of Akira, and even that was lacking.

Maybe it's just his natural voice altogether that puts me off. It's slightly "nasal" and extremely American. It might work for Vash since Trigun wasn't connected to Japan or Japanese culture, but Bleach is drenched in it. Are there just not any Japanese VAs who speak English? I know there are people from Japan who can speak very fluent English. Why aren't any of them working in the industry?


Oh, I don't think ANYTHING could be worse than using JYB as Renton. It was like Renton was a grown adult stuck in a young teen's body.
