I know. I already imagined seeing Riki x Kyousuke or Riki x Kengo doujinshi...

I actually thought her work was pretty great otherwise.

Thank you. For three days I've been trying to find the right reason to why I'm satisfied yet unsatisfied with Horie Yui's role as Riki.

*clears throat*

Pardon me but shouldn't that be Kyousuke x Riki or Kengo x Riki?

*ducks*

Kyousuke x Riki... mmm... Masato x Riki could work by a long shot... while Kengo x Riki... might work if Kengo was a little bit more- *shot by Mio*

Oh god I've had enough of genderbent with the SAO forum! And you ronelm2000 as well.

Oh, my bad. I didn't specify the Seme-Uke order.

But speaking about other VAs, I'm so looking forward to see Kyousuke's VA at work. Really loved his work in the past and so looking forward to him.

I think Little Busters does have a good potential for an English dub since it's a Key title. I hope Sentai Filmworks picks it up and use Bang Zoom! Because I have a really great idea for a dub cast:

Riki Naoe: Johnny Yong Bosch
Rin Natsume: Christine Marie Cabanos
Kyōusuke Natsume: Troy Baker
Masato Inohara: Lex Lang
Kengo Miyazawa: Spike Spencer

Kudryavka Noumi: Sandy Fox, PERFECT LOLI VOICE! (imagine Flonne yelling wafu!)
Komari Kamikita: Carrie Savage
Mio Nishizono: Stephanie Sheh
Yuiko Kurugaya: Michelle Ruff
Haruka Saigusa: Kira Buckland
Kanata Futaki: Cassandra Lee
Sasami Sasasegawa: Cristina Vee
Saya Tokido: Laura Bailey

Sometimes I figure that these VAs have been overused. I wish companies would give them more salary, you know...?

Low salary is probably union issues (and the fact that unions want to discourage voice actors into dubbing anime).

blitz1/2 · 2012-10-13, 17:48

So, which of the Jp voices are still kept from the game. The only ones that pop up from my head are:

Kyousuke is still Hikaru
Rin is still Tomoe Tamiyasu
Komari is still Natsumi

The other 2 guys, I believe are unchanged.

I think they changed Mio and Sasumi's voice?

Free · 2012-10-13, 17:53

The majority are the same. The only ones changed are Riki, Sasami, and Mio. Some voicers might go by different names now, but they're still the same people.

Everyone is the same except for Riki, Salami, and Mio. Riki and Zazaza were changed because Tamiyasu voiced both them and Rin in the game, and making her voice 3 characters in an anime would be too much. Mio's seiyuu got pregnant.

They even kept Tomokazu Sugita as "Male Student A" from the PSP version.

Jmac · 2012-10-17, 00:16

Seen first episode and love love love all the characters voices, including Riki. His was the only question mark for me, but it seems Yui Horie is doing a good job giving him that andro-style voice :P

Aspirety · 2012-10-22, 02:06

I had no idea Haruka and Kanata are both voiced by the same person. Why do you think they kept her doing both those voices for the anime?

HiDrangeA · 2012-12-12, 20:39

I think horie's voice was perfect for the meek Riki. Another alternative i can think of that might make him sound slightly more manly might be daisuke namikawa. It sounds weak also albiet slightly less femanine. As for komari her voice was so cute, i just dont like the airhead archetype too much.

The other voices were fairly fitting too.

Coldlight · 2012-12-13, 05:01

Is it just me or has the way Nobutoshi Canna voices Masato changed? It seems like Masato's voice in the anime sounds slightly higher pitched than the more gruff voice he had in the game.

pisceanreve · 2013-09-11, 16:35

I've only played the VN, but the voices are perfect!

Leo_Otaku · 2013-09-13, 23:37

Also interesting, is that Mio's original voice actress, Shiho Kawaragi is now voicing in Refrain. Did they use her for the DVD/Bluray releases?

Dark Paladin X · 2013-09-19, 18:41

Just to let you guys know, Sentai Filmworks did confirm in their November release slate (November 19th, 2013) that they are releasing Little Busters! with an English dub. IF anyone want to discuss some dub cast ideas or speculation, you can do so now.
