US Anime Voice Actors
Mar. 16th, 2007 09:08 amMy daughter has accused me of stalking both Eric Stuart and Illych Guardiola when buying/trying new anime... Moi? Hey, is it my fault most of the anime I've been attracted to are produced/distributed by ADV,Geneon, or MediaBlasters? Or that those anime dub production companies tend to use the same voice actors over and over....
Okay, I'll admit that I picked up "This Ugly Yet Beautiful World" because I thought I recognized the voice of one of the main characters from ADV's dub of "Saiyuki" -- Yup, it was Brenden, all right, but that alone wasn't enough to entice me into buying the subsequent DvDs when the storyline left me going, 'meh'. And yeah, one of the reasons I was so antsy about my "Descendants Of Darkness" DvDs was because I'd learned that both Dan Green and Eric Stuart were VA's, but I'd become enamored of the manga before I even heard about the anime.... But honest-to-kamisama, I had NO idea that "le Chevalier D'eon" had both David Matragna (Sanzo, ADV Saiyuki) and Illych (Gojyo, ADV Saiyuki; Krad, DNAngel) in major roles.
Y'know, I could just as easily accuse my daughter of 'stalking' Dan Green and Greg Ayres, since they turn up in a lot of HER anime collection, or my husband of perv-ing on Chris Patton and Luci Christian for the same reason.....
But we DO have a lot of fun playing 'Name that Voice Actor' when watching our dubbed anime; I spotted 'Joey' from YGO in "Samauri Deeper Kyo" the other night....
