Well I watch so few dubs that I don't really know what those voices sound like. XD But I think it could be interesting to hear Vic voice someone who's older than a teenager and his whining could fit Spirit very well.

Okay, all I got was that Vic Mignona is voicing Spirit (which still kinda pisses me off, although not as much as it would if he were voicing Death the Kid). The rest of the cast was still in stars.
Oh, nevermind, I wasn't looking at the giant Soul Eater banner that takes up half the screen. Now I have to anime news network these people to find out just who they are. |

So Stein's voice actor is Android 17 and Hiei
I can kinda see his voice as Stein but to me he would sound to young. Haven't heard much of Black star and Tsubaki's voice actor to make an opinion. Another thing is judging by what the Funimation page says, they will be calling Shinigami-sama "Death"

I have mixed feelings on Laura Bailey, I HATED her Tohru and thought her Lust was good. And I don't recognize the other two names, odd that Funi is going with an almost unknown actor for Soul's voice, I hope he's awesome! Oh and it appears that Shinigami is going to be called Lord Death. Didn't see that one coming...

Judging from the official English subs from the funimation site:
Shibusen= DWMA Shinigami-sama= Lord Death Kishin= Afreet Familiar, better-sounding name= something else DWMA stands for Death Weapons and Meisters Academy, I think. Shibusen was more short from Shinigami, weapon, and vocational school, right?

I could've sworn an afreet was an arabic demon/djinn but I've always seen it spelled Afrit. And DWMA is what Yen Press is calling Shibusen in their translations as well so that might have been the request of the author or Funi could be going for continuity.

I think using Shibusen would have been a lot better, just because I prefer it.
I wonder how the manga will choose to translate it when the volumes are released in North America. I believe the first one comes out this October.

I think if they stuck "Shibusen" in front of DWMA it'd be better. I don't see what the problem is with keeping some original Japanese names in the english dubs of anime. Its not like its news to anyone that this stuff doesn't take place in English speaking countries....
