Voice Actors


Is it just me, or does anyone else notice that many voice actors for anime are VERY underated? I mean, come on. Guys like in G Gundam should get more reconition for their work.

If you refer to the Japanese version, yes. If you refer to the English dub, I give you an emphatic NO. They were not good. They were halting, they didn't portray emotion, and if they did, it was the wrong emotion most of the time. It doesn't aid that the translators also crappified the script.

Well, this is a case where we disagree. And no, I'm not one of those people who claim all dubs are "teh 3v1l." If a dub is good, I prefer it. I just really, really HATE this dub.

Obviously, keyansmite is very wrong - most of these guys came from either radio or theatre:

Gatha, Holgate, Close, Sarantis, Olson, Love, and Roberts (quite possibly Holder and some others) came out of theatre.
Rhodes and Pettit came from radio (a top 40 and a Christian Radio station, respectively).
Gilbertson and Lucas both are artists.

The reason why these people hate the English dub of this series is either they're biased, or they have scum in their ears. I, for one, liked the dub. When i first saw the dub, I thought it was the talented Vancouver dubbing group! It took me a visit to this page (and some backtracking to other sites) to realize it wasn't the Vancouver dub group, but the Calgary dub group. It doesn't matter who you are - I think whomever hates the dub is, to quote Mike Oldfield from "AMAROK", a "cloth-eared nincompoop". But I have nothing against you. I live and let others live. That still doesn't prevent me to stop saying that I LIKE this dub a lot.

Enough said.

Thanks for defending me. You're right - those guys are nothing more than haters.

I would not call this dub good,but I do think the voice actors were good choices for the characters Mark Gatha had his moments and I liked Master Asia's voice actor
