It's been reported that Busô Renkin has been lisenced by VIZ Media. In fact they have casted almost all the characters in the English dub version.In fact, the only main characters not casted yet are Kazuki and “Captain Bravo”.

So which English VA do you think should be cast as these two? Here’s a list of who I think would be great as Kazuki and as Bravo.

Note: VA’s with a (*) by their name are noted as such because there’s NO WAY they would be hired to do the part (since they usually work at Funimation, Ocean Group**, ADV, etc.).

Kazuki Muto

Steven Jay Blum
Jason Sisak
Yuri Lowenthal
Johnny Yong Bosch
Greg Ayers*
Vic Mignogna
Chris Patton*
Justin Cook*
Spike Spencer
Liam O'Brien (But he’s been cast as too many characters on this show, so it’s not happening.)
Aaron Dismuke*
Richard Ian Cox*
Matt Hill*
Quinton Flynn
Lex Lang
Troy Baker*
Illich Guardiola*
Brad Swaile*
Sam Vincent*
Eric Vale*
Joshua Seth
Derek Stephen Prince
Robbie Rist
Dave Wittenberg
Steve Staley

“Captain Bravo” (aka Mamoru Sakimori)

Crispin Freeman
Lex Lang
Steven Jay Blum
Christopher R. Sabat*
Dameon Clarke*
Chris Patton*
Brian Drummond*
Scott McNeil*
Liam O'Brien (See Above)
Kirk Thornton
Kyle Hubert
Travis Willingham*
David Matranga*
Jason Douglas*
Brandon Potter*
Skip Stellrecht
Sam Riegel
Patrick Seitz
Eric Vale*
Richard Epcar

***Phew!!!!*** Well, those are my picks. Which picks do you think are good? Which ones are BAD? And who would you pick? Discuss…..

the english dub is horrendous. the original japanese sub is hokey and convoluted, but the english voice overs are exaggerated to the point that they don't match the japanese version at all. the only thing this short lived series had going for it was the animation. the story is poor, the battle scenes are generic and pretty boring, and there's not enough development of the characters to care about anyone. there's so much anime that is better, and this just doesn't cut it.
