re: Soul Eater, English dub casting

[samatethecookie]

I try not to bitch about English dubs before they're even produced, because giving things a chance is good, right?

But - why is Vic Mignogna playing Deathscythe/Spirit?

I fucking hate him.

At least he's not playing Death the Kidd - which a lot of fans wanted to see - but I still don't know who Todd Haberokorn is. Does anyone know who he is and what work he's done?

Oh, well. I'm going to sit in a corner and wonder over who's playing Crona and Maka. Anyone else, I can give or take. :/

I tend to be more okay with them when I hear them first before I hear the original

I think that's why I prefer the English dub of Full Metal Alchemist over its original Japanese version. I heard it first, and as much as I hate Vic, I can admit he plays an awesome Edward Elric. And what you've stated about Vic is true. He was good at Edward and I'm sure he was great with other characters, but it's hard for me to not get angry whenever I hear his name. And unfortunately my personal opinions on him blinds me to how good of an actor he is. :/

I haven't heard the Ouran dub. I'm tempted to look up a few clips just to see what everyone sounds like. I do agree with your opinion on the Funi lineup. Once they've been cast into specific characters and I've heard them, I can only associate them with those characters. I don't really understand why they're supposedly the best actors when I see exactly why they're the best. Ugh, does this paragraph make sense? I'm tired and I just got done using the exercise bike to the Mulan soundtrack, fuck yeah so I'm out of it. D:

IDK. It's too weird for me to listen to Edward in the Japanese sub. I keep imagining the English dub. DX
