Far near future earth is attacked by aliens whos weapon of choice are kaiju sized mutants of existing native fauna. Earth is barely holding on and conventional forces aren't incapable of downing the odd monster, but it's very costly and fighting multiple is near impossible. In order to get around this a brilliant cybernetics scientist enlists the help of a notorious rogue scientist who's a herbert west/Frankenstein type. Together they develop a piloted exoskeleton system where the undead remains of defeated kaiju are piloted against their kin. The exoskeletons are modular, so when a kaiju's body breaks down to the point of collapse they can remove it and bolt it onto another corpse.

Humanity has a mech war, employing "relics," found artifacts from humanity's past that are unexplainable by modern science. As the war escalates, artifacts become suspiciously more common and increasingly esoteric, and standard machines requiring more and more exotic materials and manufacturing processes. There's fully functional mecha made of bioengineered wood and glass that uses speed and force fields to compete with supergravity compressed heavy metals. It's revealed they're not ancient human artifacts, nor are they alien in origin, but directly bestowed by the faction's own pagan gods as a reward for prayer and sacrifice. As word spread between pilots, they each react to the information in their own way. Most are a bit perturbed. Some find offense that humanity is being given weapons of destruction by these beings and try to destroy their worshipers. Others embrace the role as paladins or shamans.

>>22594082
>Anon, pitch me your /m/ anime/toku idea
Certainly! Here's an exciting **anime/toku** concept:

# Title: **"Chrono Nexus: Guardians of the Temporal Rift"**

## Synopsis:
In the distant future, humanity has unlocked the secrets of time travel. However, this newfound power comes with a price: the emergence of dangerous temporal rifts that threaten to unravel the fabric of reality. To combat this threat, an elite team of warriors known as the **Chrono Guardians** is formed.

## Main Characters:

1. **Kai Hiroshi**:
 - The stoic leader of the Chrono Guardians. He wields the **Chrono Blade**, a sword capable of cutting through time itself.
 - Mysterious past: Kai's memories are fragmented, and he harbors a hidden connection to the temporal rifts.
 - Motivation: To prevent the rifts from consuming the world.

2. **Mika Fujimoto**:
 - A brilliant scientist who developed the time-travel technology. She joins the Guardians to atone for her creation's unintended consequences.
 - Wields the **Chrono Gauntlets**, allowing her to manipulate time energy.
 - Struggles with guilt over the rifts' existence.

3. **Ryota "Bolt" Tanaka**:
 - A hot-headed mechanic and adrenaline junkie. His modified exosuit grants him superhuman speed and agility.
 - Loves racing motorcycles and often clashes with Kai's serious demeanor.
 - Secretly yearns for stability in a chaotic world.

4. **Hikari "Echo" Nakamura**:
 - A mysterious girl found near a rift. She possesses the ability to communicate with alternate versions of herself across different timelines.
 - Her eyes change color depending on the timeline she's connected to.
 - Innocent yet wise beyond her years.

>>22595457
## Antagonists:

1. **Temporal Wardens**:
 - Enforcers of the natural order who believe the rifts must be sealed permanently, even if it means erasing entire timelines.
 - Their leader, **Aeon**, seeks to restore balance by any means necessary.
 - Aeon's true motives remain shrouded in mystery.

2. **Paradox Syndicate**:
 - A rogue faction that exploits the rifts for personal gain.
 - Led by the enigmatic **Cipher**, they steal artifacts from different eras to alter history.
 - Cipher's ultimate goal: to rewrite reality itself.

## Themes:
- **Temporal Ethics**: Is it right to alter the past to save the future? The Guardians grapple with this moral dilemma.
- **Identity and Fate**: Characters confront their alternate selves, questioning who they truly are.
- **Epic Battles Across Time**: Each rift leads to a different era (samurai Japan, cyberpunk Neo-Tokyo, medieval Europe), providing diverse settings for battles.

## Tagline:
*"Time bends, but heroes endure."*

---

*Note: This is a fictional concept. Any resemblance to real persons or events is purely coincidental.*

The Mummy but they dig up ancient robots with malevolent ai. An organization called Pharaoh is performing aercheological work in Egyptia and they accidentally uncover these long sealed death machines. There is an ancient robot based on each of the plagues that afflicted Egypt, replicating or mirroring the plagues with nanomachines and/or funnels/bits.

Firstborn Plaguebot is the cyborg mummified older brother of the MC who was captured when they uncovered the cyber sarcophagus that activated the reboot of the Plagues. He serves as the princess to rescue. The Moses Machine is the final boss, a machine that initially brought the plaguebots to creation.

Slice of life/comedy centered around the fleet mechanics at the motorpool for a mecha military division.

In a world where the heroes destroyed the evil aliens or whatever, some kid finds what they used to make MOTW and tries to make good guys with it. Hilarity and a redemption arc of a revived general ensue.

High fantasy magitech where a cold war between elves and humans led to Mecha being used more like tanks in the world wars with airship raining artillery overhead.

The mc has to pull a saving a private Ryan go deep into enemy lines and fight through a ruined Stalingrad style battle where magic and flying battleships have fucked things up.

His squads low on supplies and there's elven snipers in the cracks.

Make a fantasy gundam series. Make the mecha sentient like Chamber from gargantia. Put some effort into the world building, don't just settle for generic JRPG fantasy slop. You could have the series take place in a hollow earth or something. Have the plot be character driven, limit the size of the cast and really flesh out your core characters. Core characters include the sentient mecha.

Gundam DMC clone, style rankings and everything done by platinum games.

Low-tech medieval civilization on Earth with mechs but the general populace don’t understand how it works. Supplies and batteries come from space via a Space Elevator in exchange for crops.
One day, Mobile Suits fall from the sky and some of the larger kingdoms declare war against the big Space Elevator Church with them.
The MC is an orphan prince from a small kingdom. Only one Mobile Suit falls in his land, a White one with a distinctive head crest.
He reluctantly uses this unusually powerful MS to defend his kingdom, to quell the War and ultimately uncover the secret suppliers in space.
Basically G-Reco but played straight.

>>22594082
The earth got attacked by aliens and humanity was driven off to a Mars colony. Years later they start running out of resources and launch an offensive. There's a conflict between the factions who support retaking the earth and those who want to expand further in the galaxy instead. The plot follows a squad stationed on a moon base caught between the factions trying to sabotage the war, those trying to take advantage of it to gain influence, and the aliens. Basically it's a Muv-Luv ripoff but humanity is in space now.

>>22597993
I don't know how this shit works. It's in the Mecha Monday thread, you know where it's at.

>>22594082
Just make a Custom Robo anime

Every act of creation begins with an act of destruction!
DEMOLITION SENTAI KATAIGER!!!
The protagonists are wage slaves that drive yellow or orange, heavy machinery used in demolition works, such as a wrecking ball, excavator, bulldozer, superheavy truck... all of those happen to be toys which children used to love.
This equipment is used in the series both in the actual, real life labour of disposing of old, unsafe and illegal buildings, but also to fight a secret alien invasion which aims to destroy their city, and ultimately to combine as a single, large, humanoid mecha.
They also use man-portable equipment such as pneumatic drills, explosives, and so on as weapons.
There needs a comedic scene in which a fully loaded truck is set on neutral, and runs downhill crashing onto an unsuspecting, stranded alien small mecha right after the driver calmly gets out of it; by the time the aliens manage to register how fast the damn thing accelerates because of the gravity, it's already too late for them.
The combined mecha would use the wrecking ball as a weapon and the bulldozer's plow as a shield.
It's a TV series that teaches young, impressionable teenagers to direct their destructive potential in ways that are useful to muh society, just like controlled explosions, and to buy toys for boomers.

50~ Minute Votoms OVA taking place during the war where a group of Gilgamesh soldiers wish to escape from a Balarant POW camp, heavily inspired by The Great Escape.
The plan to brakeout involves both stealing the guards ATs (Fatties customized for riot control and to prevent escapes) and fixing up an outdated trashed AT the soldiers find while being put to work mining jijirium (an ATM-01 clever camel).
The main character is a witty yet clever man in his early to mid thirties with the rank of captain who was assigned as an AT pilot due to annoying his superiors, he has to inspire the other prisoners while under the watchful eye of the guards.
Focuses on camaraderie and self sacrifice, still has an essence of comedy coming from the banter of the various prisoners.

Fantasy mecha set far in the future on a dystopian planet. Men whom claim artifacts can defy old Gods, Reaching the heavens and cosmos is all but a myth, Kingdoms have risen but lost technology has birthed a power struggle. The awesome magical powers possessed by the giant suits of armor could save or end the world as we know it.

The series has more plot twist than M. Night Shylamalan and the magic is really just the science mankind has forgotten. Could unburying the past really forge a better tomorrow? Are we truly bounded by gravity's fate? One man's struggle to survive places his friends, family and nations against him. The only absolute he can rely on is the unearthed remnant armor: Terra Driver Frame X-1.

>The series continuously presents itself as a defensive war against an invading interstellar enemy
>Keen eyed viewers will notice some inconsistencies
>The finale reveals that the "human" characters we've been following are androids built by an alien race to soften up humanity in preparation for total extermination
>The aliens always craft their vanguard androids to look like the species they're attacking to both lower morale and ease infiltration

I had an idea, but the more I thought of it, the more it looked like just Starsector but with mechs. Made even more redundant by the fact that there actually is a mecha mod for Starsector out there.

cyberpunk post-war setting where society is deliberately kept shitty because it keeps the elites rich and powerful, and all the protag's problems are because they made a decision anyone would make, they made a decision without actually knowing what they're doing, or it is caused by factors out of their control.

one protag steals a mech and tries to be a good guy, but despite suffering for his decisions he keeps doing good things because he believes in it. since the government and corpos hate him, he gets his ammo, fuel and replacement parts through the blackmarket and must do questionable things to maintain his mech. lives a bad life but dies a good death, sacrificing himself for his ideals.

another protag is a merc for the corpos and rises through the ranks through skiill and trickery, also getting cool cutting-edge mechs. keeps getting more and more enemies but does evil/shady things that anyone else in his position might do too because he wants to keep living. lives a good life but dies a bad death, backstabbed for someone else's gain.

>>22604711
They could just make the sequel a fun episodic villain of the week show like the early parts of the show basically were. They could also make a show based on what Van was doing during the timeskip before the epilogue. I don't think it needs one, but there's some stuff they could try

This but the male mc falls in love with his female mecha

A Gundam Build Divers entry focused on Underground Gunpla. Where the most suped up and rarest kits are wagered and won in high stakes contests that test different skills and attributes like Navigation and Speed. The most common competition is a free for all fight where all contestants must not only outfight and outlast the other but must also outrace each other, at the start each pilot isn't equipped with any ranged or melee weapons. So they gotta race across the impromptu circuits collecting power ups and their weapons and reach the extraction point where the final battle takes place among who ever is left before the timer runs out or they get busted by the Games enforcers. Basically a mix of a street racing game with a battle royal with the same shrinking circle that DQs those who are too cautious or slow..All this takes place in the giant map where various other players are in their events and playing fairly.

Since Real World trading is banned moderators patrol the games maps and worlds looking for any cheaters, their enforcement gunplas mimic police livery. With flashing lights and equipped with gadgetry to track catch and confiscate illegally modified or acquired gunpla.

>Story can be a mix of NFS Most Wanted
>Gearhead kid lives alone with single mom
>They struggle to make ends meet, Dad is dead and all he has left to remember him by is the Gunpla he bought him before passed
>Pilot starts with kid being fired, getting scolded by his mom for how his Gunpla and gamer skills are useless and don't translate to any money
>kid is fed up and sad, decides to get into the underground scene..uses his final paycheck to trick out his Dad's kit and use the rest to gamble
>wins and realizes he can make a living doing what he loves

>We are actually mechs.
and what if we swallow tiny people who merge with our spinal cord and they pilot us?

A Gundam show where the series' Oldtype/Natural equivalent are strongarmed into a culture of tolerating the atrocities of the series' Newtype/Coordinator equivalent lest they repeat the actions of the Titans-like group from decades ago. One of the big messages pushed is that Oldtypes/Naturals are inferior to Newtypes/Coordinators. The main character, a female Oldtype/Natural, refuses to fight the Newtypes/Coordinators at first due to this belief in "tolerance", but, after being rescued from an insane Newtype/Coordinator by the anti-Newtype/Coordinator movement, realizes over the course of the show that Newtypes/Coordinators don't have to be tolerated in the face of their bad deeds and that Newtypes/Coordinators are actually emotionally, physically, and intellectually inferior to Oldtypes/Naturals. This will be proven when the MC is able to defeat Newtypes/Coordinators in mobile suit combat because she is calmer and more logical and has greater control over her mobile suit. In fact, it will be revealed that Newtypes/Coordinators are suffering from a genetic mutation passed off as a "new evolution" because the Newtypes/Spacenoids have interests against the health of the Earth's environment, so wanted to glorify living in space despite its adverse effects on humans. The series will end with the MC and her movement turning all the space colonies to trash and all surviving Newtypes/Coordinators sentenced to prison as humanity works to heal the earth.

A sentai show in which every single member is meant to come from a previous sentai series entirely but they’re completely new in design

Setting: Derelict space graveyard of warships, a mixture of broken space vessels intermixed with debris, asteroid chunks, and other assorted space garbage coalesced into an area almost the size of Pluto.<br>Mission: Somewhere in this graveyard of starships is the rumored partial gold reserves of the fallen Modro Union somewhere in a fallen warship, worth an estimated 4 trillion Earthnotes. Three teams of special operations units from former enemies of the Union have been dispatched to survey and potentially recover the gold. They spend the 12 episodes engaged in combat and scouting operations against one another.

>>22620115

>Ultraman Quanta
In the year 22XX, humanity became a space-faring race and joined the wider galactic community.
The Terran Republic very quickly establishes itself as peerless explorers with infinite curiosity. In their pursuit of knowledge, they create multiple massive self-sufficient explorer ships that would explore the infinite void of space and go where nobody else did.
12y Ryo Satsuma, son of scientist Kuro Satsuma, are part of the crew of the Japanese explorer vessel Amaterasu that was sent out to explore a phenomena on the southern region of the Milky Way Galaxy. Things go not as planned when it turns out the anomaly is a wormhole that sucks the Amaterasu and spits it out into a completely different galaxy and right in front of a giant ship that was seemingly abandoned.

The away team lead by the elder Satsuma and supported by members of the elite Tempest Team board the ship to find clues on their current predicament. The away team however didn't realize little Ryo smuggling himself onboard the vessel. The situation quickly turns bad when another alien vessel appears out of nowhere and attacks both the derelict and the Amaterasu and releasing a space monster from its inside.
Due to the chaos, Kuro Satsuma is kidnapped by the assailants while Ryo gets infected with a mutagenic virus. All seems bleak for the boy when all of a sudden a silvery blob appears out of nowhere and fuses with him. His condition is stabilized and the virus kept in check thanks to the blob whose name is Quanta. Once a denizen of the Valley of Light, now a mutant experimented on by the alien Kunajikk to harvest his powers for himself. The vessel that appeared belonged to his army along with the derelict. Ryo and Quanta team up to help the Amaterasu find its way back home, to find prof. Kuro and stop Kunajikk and whatever evil backs him as the mutant Ultraman Quanta.

AKA: Ultraman meets ST: Voyager, Farscape with some additional mecha thrown in.

Would be fun. That's for sure.

I want a mecha show about a retired pilot trying to get back into shape after her first pregnancy. An entire episode is dedicated to her just trying to fit back into her old pilot suit.

Fantasy series (not isekai) with mechs, but the protagonists are three kobolds in a trenchcoat who pilot a combining mech that changes forms like Getter. The kobolds convinced everyone it's piloted by three humans, and they change formation in the trenchcoat to become the different "pilots" outside the mech and maintain the illusion.

>>22594082
In the near future, particle collider experiments lead to an incursion of monstrous creatures from a parallel dimension, dubbed Anomals. Soon a special task force, Anomal Reduction & Control (or A.R.C.) is formed to deal with the Anomals, as well as specialized weaponry and power armor called Catcher Units to counter the mutant fauna's destructive abilities. To help fund the organization and control the narrative around the situation, the agents are marketed as superheroes to the general public and enjoy a degree of celebrity, though their actions out of suit are heavily downplayed.
The whole setup is incredibly shady, and surely there's a government conspiracy lurking in the background, but so long as the pay is good, the team is mostly okay with it.
This is a story about heroism, good people doing a dirty job, good publicity, and monsters getting blown the hell up.

Tl;dr: It's Patlabor meets Daiguard meets Shinesman meets the G3 Team from Kamen Rider Agito.

MC is a laidback slacker with hidden depths. Ambivalent to the idea of being a public hero, but enjoys helping people and getting to test out all the latest gear. Wears the Catcher Unit – Secutor, based off a roman gladiator.
Mission control is a middle-aged woman with a chip on her shoulder. Particularly bitter towards the MC, since she was the original beta tester of the Secutor until she was sidelined by an injury. More compassionate and lively than she lets on, but has trouble letting her guard down. <s>Mostly because that's what lead to her injury in the first place.</s> Eventually gets another suit, Catcher Unit – Vaquero, with a cowboy motif.
Secondary mission control is a glasses wearing rival type who is far more mild-mannered than he initially appears.

That's about as far as I got with the concept.

Gundam UC spinoff where a Federation battle ship is tasked with hunting down Zeon remnants come across a seemingly abandoned colony. They send out their GMs, but their ship gets destroyed by a mysterious bioweapon that seemingly pilots mobile suits. The surviving federation forces find the surviving Zeon remnants and have no choice but to work together to survive. Tensions flare, and through infighting, constant bioweapon attacks, and the hazards of living in an abandoned colony, only a handful of survivors manage to learn the truth about the bioweapon. Maybe it's the souls of dead newtypes possessing corpses or something.
TLDR Gundam but with elements from Alien, Halo's Flood, and Zombie films. You could even get rid of the Gundam part and just use original characters and factions.

I just want an ultra gritty anime centered around tomino style war murder porn.
There's no Kira Amuro or Bagnagher to save the day and the whole show is just a front row ride in seeing the Dark History wipe out Humanity to near extinction.

Dudes pilot mechas that were made from their wives. Bonus points for the drama about their kids also being able to pilot Momgelions.

Ah fuck it. I wanna talk about it anyways.
>Pretty much the same thing as SS's backstory
>Differences start juuust before the first AI war, with the factions finding out about the "Strikecraft", a pre-Collapse humanoid-shaped construction machine whose designs were relatively easy to acquire, could operate both in space and in the atmosphere, and could handle much bigger weight and recoil loads than their otherwise small frames would suggest. They'd prove their salt as fighting vessels in the post-collapse when the not!Tri-Tachyon releases their armies of AI murderfleets
>Main Character is, unlike the player character, not a fleet commander, but one such Strikecraft pilot, whose knowledge of the Captain's (implied to be the aforementioned PC) plans is strictly on a need-to-know basis, and he has to cope with seeing the freaky shit you usually deal with in an average Starsector run, ranging from berserk ancient exploration drones, to brutal remnants of the AI murderfleets, to <s>a final battle in the end of the series against the not!Omega</s>
>Meanwhile, the AI fleets hiding in the fringes try their best to learn about these strikecraft used against them, attempt to acquire forgotten unmanned designs or use their arcane, beyond-human-comprehension knowledge and thought processes to create their own.

>>22634677
I like it, glad you posted it. That said I'm also a Starsectorfag so I admit I'm biased.

That happens in Full Metal Daemon Muramasa.

I wonder how an <s>Omega</s> strikecraft would look like, though.
I'm split between "triangular Turn X" and "Sachiel, but with thrusters and the occasional panel lining"

Series about fans of a particular franchise who never, ever stop trying to make everything else about that franchise.

>I died and got reincarnated as the janitor for android bay 7
Isekai will be irrelevant to the plot after the first 10seconds.

Follows the story of a young man who becomes a janitor at a military facility, specifically android bay 7, where a bunch of qt3.14 androids catering to each otakus taste will be stationed. The AI have a pretty smart learning algorithm and the function as the pilots and processors for big ol battle mechs that have more focus on cool aethetics than cute, but still reflect each girls personality. They will be locked in an ambiguous war with another peoples. Janitors also provide field support to the combat mechs btw. He wont have a giant mecha, but maybe just a light armored mobilty suit slightly larger than him. And by janitor i also mean mechanic, but its all very janitor themed still. He provides field support by spotting, manually purging systems from the outside in emergencies, that kind of thing. As they continue fighting the battles start taking a toll on their core personalities, and by having a hooman compainion along one even starts to have a melty and doesnt want to go kill hoomans and more and conscientiously object, so they personality wipe her and its kinda just a really traumatizing ordeal for the whole team. As more things start affect the android more and more, the janitor start wonder if they even have a real personality of if theyre just the cullmination of events registered in their memory cores. This in turn trigger an existential crisis with himself wonder if he ever had free will, or just had always acted on a combitation of insticts and decisions made by influences and life experiences. Generally challenges what it means to be a person, but also drags it down to a very animalist level, with man no longer elevated as far above nature as he often likes to think he is. It goes from very surealist to realist, because no of that matter and he'll have to keep on living as himself anyways.

2nd half will just be awesome action scenes as they all start to become bad ass killing machinces and embrace the influence of war and violence more. Itll go from happy guy and human like androids to him become more like the machines and they all get decommisioned / executed for war crimes that ended up ending the war.

>>22641508
The janitor and isekai parts are optional, but its gotta sell, ya know?

>>22641296
Don't think it's ever going to happen outside of the first couple of episodes. Which isn't too much of a problem with Microman. It's story telling is basic enough that you can tell what's going on without subs.
On the pitch of reboot: I do know that there was an American Micronauts comic book made that didn't amount to much 20 years ago.
Why not make a new version of both pushed together to sell toys?

I miss the original dub cast.

No more Ocean cast for Gundam. Even Origins, Cucuruz Doan's Island, and Hathaway didn't bring back Brad Swaile as Amuro.
>>22601095
Yeah, she was Marin in My Dress Up Darling.

>>22601095
>>22601102
>>22601108

Not English Gundam SEED without Hill, Chantel and Vincent

>>22601124
It's so much better without them.

Those fucking Lacus' songs were HORRENDOUS

I'm not surprised it's the NYAV cast. Though, Shinn has a different actor. It was Aaron Phillips in Destiny.

>>22601122
>didnt bring back brad
Well shit, i really enjoyed him in that role.

>>22601135
It was one line and absolutely idiotic to think they would. It doesn't hurt anything.

>>22601122
>didn't bring back Brad Swaile
ONE FUCKING JOOOOOOOOOOOOB
<s>Although I prefer the original, Silverstein doesn't do a bad Char</s>
I get that it's simply how these things work here in Clapistan, but fuck me man, it'll never sound right otherwise.

Gundam Seed was massively popular in my country. They went all out and brought back the entire original dub cast for the movie. I was shocked to see Cagalli's old VA returning considering she retired like 20 years ago. I didn't even realize she was still alive. That's just how much of an impact Gundam Seed had on my generation I guess

>>22601129
think the VA for the songs was a different person

>>22601151
What country are you from?
>>22601152
It was. Jillian Michaels (Shippo from Inuyasa) was Lacus' singing voice in the Ocean dub.

>Shinn's recast already
That's amusing as fuck.

<s>The fact its the remaster cast and we don't if we're getting the dub at all in Canada is funny as fuck too. It shows how bad this shitshow is, combined with Sheh's comments with ANN.</s>

>>22601122
To be honest, I don't want any more early UC stuff with the original 0079 dub cast since Kopsa passed away but the fact that nobody was even approached about role reprisals, let alone voice cameos alone, will never not piss me off. Shit's just disrespectful IMO.

>>22601156
Michaels was also Canadian pre-Buu Gohan and Goten too.

>>22601160
>we don't if we're getting the dub at all in Canada
It's a shitshow, they're only showing the movie in theatres for one day in Canada and two days in the US. A while back when early ticket sales opened up, I was more or less sure all of the theatre viewings around me said English sub only.

>Sheh's comments with ANN
I'm not familiar with that, got a link?

>>22601156
>What country are you from
Not telling, but I'll give you a hint. It's in Southeast Asia

>>22601160
I always forget that Ocean did their own Cell and Buu saga dubs for Canada, even after Funimation did their own in the US, and that it used music from the Ruby Spears Mega Man cartoon.

>It's so surreal for us because recording this series was like a fever dream. We did all 98 episodes in a few months, and it wasn't released right away,” said Sheh. “It was really hard to gauge how production was. Although I was told the show is really popular, I had no real sense of it.”

For context: The redub was announced in mid-2017 with the initial cast being announced that December with it being likely they had the cast already done at that point. The BDs didn't release until Dec 2020.

>born in 1998
Christ he was not even 6 years old when Destiny aired

>>22601129
Have you heard the way they pronounce Lacus in this version

>>22601182
I think he sounds fine. I haven't heard Shinn's actor in NYAV Destiny. I liked Matthew Erickson in Dynasty Warriors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xi<wbr>d-z0aY-Y

>>22601186
Feeling old? Or do you need a voice actor for a 16 year old kid to be at least 25?

>>22601198
He was always great in Destiny and the games, helps he's a Mecha veteran as he was also in Zoids and Betterman. The Remaster guy was horrible, he had the type of deep voice where your throat feels itchy hearing him and his screams were awful, literally ruins Shinn's more iconic scenes.

>>22601203
He was Amuro in Zeta and did a decent take, albeit radically different if you were expecting something similar to Swaile's Amuro.

Especially obvious in Zeta vs since you'll go from one to another.

>>22601201
Suzumura was 30 years old when he voiced Shinn , Erickson was 26, Phillips was in his 30s

>>22601178
Why are you posting an archive link? The ANN page is still there.

Did Seed Destiny run back-to-back with Seed on Toonami?

>>22601222
Never aired on North American tv, Seed was the last show until Gundam 00 aired on Scifi. Destiny aired in Canada though on Teletoon I think.

>>22601227
>>22601234
It aired on YTV in the Bionix (?) block back in 2006~07.

>It was so many years ago that the dub can drive
God I feel ancient now

>>22601237
>>22601234
Is there a list of anime that aired on YTV that I can check?

I know Toonami had Wing, '79, 08th MS, G, Stardust Memory, 0080, CCA, and Seed. And New Toonami has gotten IBO, Unicorn and The Origin.

Speaking of old voice actors that we will never hear ever again.<br>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7Z<wbr>jSxRCiqg

>>22601243
Kirby Morrow died, so no Trowa anymore ever.

>>22601243
Maybe for the best. Blue Water was an anti-union scab company. Dunno if any of their talent did VAing again after Ocean went bust.

>>22601249
I didnt know that, he had a smooth as voice.

>>22601250
Ocean still exists. They just do a shit tone more pre-lay stuff these days. Most Blue Water does these days is whatever Bushiroad sends them since they're basically Ocean/Chinook's budget studio.

>>22601089
I don't recognize any of these names.

I thought "Stephanie Sheh" sounded familiar, but when I looked her up, nope, not familiar.

>>22601266
Dude, she's Orihime AND Hinata.

>>22601266
You're either ancient, or too young to be here. Sheh's a 90's-00's vet.

>>22601269
I know her more as Eureka than those two.

>>22601266
>Hinata from Naruto
>Orihime from Bleach
>Sailor Moon (Viz dub)
>Yui from K-On
>Mineva from Gundam Unicorn
>Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya
None of these sound familiar to you?

>>22601124
>>22601102
Matt Hill is on Cameo, you could probably get him to dub all of Kira’s movie lines for spare change.

>>22601276
I would expect the dude to respond "LOL you watch dubs you fucking anime rapist", but this is a dub thread so I got no idea why he'd post here.

>>22601276
>Mikuru from Haruhi Suzumiya
Huh i never noticed it back then.

>>22601281
Not like Mikuru has any room to show talent. The entire role was probably struggling to keep a moe-esque tone. At least Hinata and Eureka are able to show humanity, and Orihime was pretty diverse until she became "KUROSAKI-KUN" 24/7.

>>22601283
She was also Tharja in Fire Emblem.

>>22601286
I don't really count FE13 and 14 as significant venues for VAs, since it's all voiceclips and not anything really significant like Persona or Coldsteel.

>>22601291
Since you mentioned Persona. Here's Kira and Cagalli.

I'm fairly neutral on dubs, but a big part of SEED's charm is it's big name, all-star voice cast. So, watching it dubbed just doesn't seem like a fun option to me.

I am sorta nostalgic for the old Ocean Group SEED dub. Surfer dude-sounding Kira and surprisingly awesome Rau always stick out to me.

>No Ed or Double D again
As I said with the SEED remaster. Pass

Are SEED's old actors even around anymore? Matt Hill isn't active in dubbing anymore and Murrue's isn't either.

>>22601405
The only Ocean talent I see anymore is Brian Drummond.

>>22601405
Trevor Devall (Mu's Ocean actor) still does voice acting in LA. Don't know if he still does anime though.

>>22601089
Well people take issue on this. What about the rest of the cast? Sure, the NYAV Post cast is now just 98% of it because people did not like Remaster Shinn's dub voice, but it doesn't change the fact that English dubs are insistent on using "fresh talent" every time, leaving little to no opportunities for older talent to return, even if cast as someone else. For one matter, Michael Adamthwaite, now known under his new stage name Mark P. Whitten, is still highly active to this day and keeping up with these new talent, but people would still want him as Yzak, which may not happen here.

>>22601442
Wasn't he only Yzak in SEED, and Swaile did it and Dearka in Destiny?

>>22601442
>English dubs are insistent on using "fresh talent" every time, leaving little to no opportunities for older talent to return
I wouldn't call Sheh, Rachael Lillis, Tara Platt, Keith Silverstein, and Liam O'Brien "new talent". And that's just the ones I can remember as being veterans casted for Unicorn and The Origin.

>>22601201
No just feeling old. I don't like being reminded that there are now grown adults that were kids or not even born yet when I was a teenager.

>>22601291
She was also Estelle in Trails, which originally was just battle voice clips, but she did actually return when Estelle came back at the end of Cold Steel in a major voiced capacity.

>>22601405
>>22601413
You don't hear much from them anymore because there's nothing for them to work on anymore. Since the 00s recession, all anime dubs moving south, Bandai US shutting down, Canadian cartoons not getting made anymore and MLP over, what are they suppose to voice?

>>22601660
What's been airing on YTV these days?

Not Seed related, but still a dub matter: Just found out that Guel in G-Witch isn't Matt Mercer. It's some relative new blood called Bradley Gareth who's doing a good impression of Matt Mercer.

>>22602296
Why would anyone think it was Mercer when it's been known for almost a year that the guy wasn't voicing the character? Are you just that stupid?

>>22601321
Surfer Kira was always funny to me.

>>22602318
Gundaminfo doesn't dub the credits. How was I supposed to figure out the dub cast?

>>22603187
Do you have an issue with him?

They were making a joke. Max Mittelman also voiced Ryuji in Persona 5.

I've never played Persona. I hate emulating non-Nintendo and I can't find any Youtube playthroughs for Persona 3.

Persona 5 Royal is on Switch.

>>22603474
I can't play Persona 5. Not until I've played all of Persona 3 and 4.

>>22603490
You don't have to. They're each their own story with very little continuity with each other. That's like saying you can't watch Gundam 00 without watching MS Team first.

>>22603505
A lot of the word of mouth I've heard about Gundam IBO is that you won't be able to understand it unless you've seen Gundam 00. Generally a lot of the reason I enjoyed Gundam Wing was because it didn't do any of the stupid shit that Zeta and Victory took way too much joy in.

>>22603574

You're listening to some very stupid people.

More like the circle is still going. Remember that Baker exists to do Nolan North impressions.

Gonna start watching Seed. Hope Aniwave still has the old dub saved.

Watched episode 1. The dub I'm watching sounds too good in terms of audio quality for what I expect. Are there any sure tells for which dub I'd be watching?

>>22601089
I know Max Mittlemen from World of Warcraft can make a really inspiring heroic performance. I'm thinking of Prince Farondis from the Aszuna questline. I don't recall anything memorable the other VAs have done.

That's probably the least notable role you could've mentioned she has with her last five years of lightning progress.

OH MY GOD, you already made a thread about this over a week ago. Just watch the show already and stop asking other people what to do.

Gundam 00 and IBO are literal opposites. 00 is about humans coming together and beamspam, IBO is about humans being tools and physical weapons/ammo.

>>22610143
I heard Mikazuki was a remix of Setsuna.

>>22609752
speaking of sites anyone remember the one that one anon said that had the OG versions of SEED and Destiny?

Downloaded a Tri-audio from Nyaa. I probably need to listen to the redub regularly to stay sane hearing the female voice performances, especially when NYAV managed to hook some of my favorites for Ramius, Badgiruel and Miriallia.

>>22610155
Aside from being quiet, they're nothing alike. Setsuna is a boy who lost faith in God and replaced it with Gundam due to O Gundam saving his life. He wants to change the world due to how he grew up. Mikazuki is a boy who follows whatever Orga says to a T to the point that Orga sometimes seems afraid of him. He isn't about changing the world or the bigger picture. Just changing his current life and circumstances. 00 and IBO are two completely separate stories with little in common.

>NYAV pronounced Lacus as "La-koose"
Oh for Kira's sake...

>>22611479
How did the Ocean dub pronounce her name?

>>22611482
"Lah-kis". Like a human would.

>>22601089
I just booked a ticket for me and my dad, but after how embarassing it was to bring him to Fate/Stay Night Heaven's Feel part 1's English dub, I'm not doing that again so I bought two subbed tickets. Hope there isn't anything visually embarrassing. I typically bring him to see Ghibli and Shinkai movies.

Watching Seed is the weirdest experience I've ever had. I keep rotating it between Ocean and NYAV and occasionally turning on subtitels for spelling clarity, and just going full JP anytime Lacus starts singing.

"CGUE" is not a word, Gundam. No wonder Ocean just spells it "Sci-goo".

>>22601421
He mainly does anime now because he records from his home studio now.

Athrun, meanwhile, prepares to welcome [Lacus's] new baby by making hundreds of Haros that take over the ZAFT vessel. Murrue, who's starting to wish she were a giant floating head right about now, has a decision to make, as Flay snaps and goes on a maniacal killing spree, starting with a little kid named Justin..."

>>22601442
A big chunk of the ocean actors do work in America.
Matt Hill,Trevor Devall, Brian Drummond, Mark Oliver, Micheal Adamthwaite, Brad Swaile, Michael Daingerfield, Saffron Henderson , Andrew Francis, Scott Mcneil, Venus Terzo, Brenna O'Brien, and to top it off Lisa Ann Beley lives 4 hours from NYC.
>>22601519
Unicorn was over a decade ago.

>>22601089
Jesus American voice actors are so unappealing to look at, I would only fuck Cherami and Lizzie out of this whole lot.

>>22616078
>Unicorn was over a decade ago.
Does this change my point?
Also I forgot to mention Steve Staley, who played Shiro in 08th MS back in 2001.

>>22610511
The site is animegg, if i'm right.

Aniwave and my Nyaa torrent are missing the recap episodes. Where can I find them?

>>22616180
>Does this change my point?
It does, alot of the unicorn era dub VA's are no longer frequently in anime or being phased out over race.

>>22616180
He was also Banagher, Seabook, and McGillis.

>>22601089
I wish I was rich enough to recast the entire old original dub. Everyone was great. Kira, Athrun, Mu, Murrue, Cagali, and especially Lacus were perfect.

I keep swapping back between Ocean and NYAV anytime there's a scene between Patrick Zala and Siegel Clyne. Goddammit Sabat I don't need to hear you everywhere.<br>Ironically, Zala's NYAV VA was 4kids Zoro.

>>22616722
I brought up Staley specifically because he voices Banagher.

>>22616720
>being phased out over race.
It's been proven that's not happening. Otherwise we wouldn't have had that giant shitstorm with Wendee Lee.

>>22616955
NTA, but weren't some people upset about Suletta's dub actress not matching her skin tone too?

>>22616957
That's on them for thinking tanukis are a race rather than an anime design.

>>22616953
4kids zorro is best zorro, he also voiced guts from berserk btw.
>>22616955
>It's been proven that's not happening
https://www.vox.com/2020/7/22/21326<wbr>824/white-voice-actors-black-charac<wbr>ters-cartoons-whitewashing
and thats just one example, American voice over industry has been encouraging white voice actors to step down over race.
The Wendee Lee situation was literally an example of that, only difference being she stood up for herself and got her role back. Ironically same replacement was the main one bitching about sulletta. https://boundingintocomics.com/2023<wbr>/02/03/western-voice-actors-accuse-<wbr>crunchyroll-of-bigotry-for-casting-<wbr>white-actress-as-suletta-in-english<wbr>-dub-of-mobile-suit-gundam-the-witc<wbr>h-from-mercury/
Genuinely curious how you think we it isn't happening.

>>22617337
Ah, yes, boundingintocomics, such a reputable site. Hah!

>>22601222
Nope, Gundam pretty much died in the US after SEED and we never got Destiny unless you wanted to buy some expensive DVDs. It wasn't necessarily because of the quality of the show though, it was more because of Bandai's retarded decisions and the show being pushed to a dead timeslot when most kids would be asleep.

>>22601660
>You don't hear much from them anymore because there's nothing for them to work on anymore. Since the 00s recession, all anime dubs moving south, Bandai US shutting down, Canadian cartoons not getting made anymore and MLP over, what are they suppose to voice?
That's a bit ironic, since anime has never been more popular than it is now. I'm sure he could find some work if he really wanted to. Or maybe they would rather do western cartoons.

>>22616492
yeah I found it eventually but thank you anyways

>>22618016
Yup. Monday late nights. I used to stay up despite knowing that i'll feel like shit for the next day classes.

The only anime getting dubbed by ocean right now is world Trigger and Dragon Quest. Most big ocean VAs now do work in America alongside Vancouver work. >>22616078

>>22618168
To be fair Bandai/Sunrise may've just done the Remaster dub because of rights issues with SEED's original dub, since it's only in the hyper expensive Collector's Edition

Not that it matters, going to SEED Freedom's dub screening, you'd be going more for the villains than the heroes

>>22618168
And Vanguard. Vanguard's really the only thing Ocean has had consistently for the last decade. Mind you, it's done at Blue Water (ie the budget studio.) and is largely unknowns (which may or may not be a good thing depending on who you ask) but you'll get an odd case where somebody has a long VA history.

Hell, Masanori's English VA is George's from G Gundam.

>>22618192
>ie the budget studio
More like the scab studio given Zeta.

22 episodes in. Flay's Ocean VA being so awkward in her performance is so weird. Reminds me of how much Crispy Free sucked playing Zelgadis in Slayers.

>>22618241
Meanwhile, in Ocean:
>Di-Arr-Kuh

>>22618241
I never watched seed dub, but did they not pronounce the names like its real life counterpart without the retarded exotic spelling? (for example, aslan for athrun, kagari for cagalli)

>>22618289
Both dubs use "Athrun" and "Cagalli" as the pronounciation.

>>22618268
>Crispy Free sucked playing Zelgadis in Slayers.
It was his first VA role right? But yeah it was also weird for me too when I first heard him and I wasnt told that it was him till years later.

>>22618268
Flay's Ocean VA is an industry-veteran but it was obvious she was too old to pull off a high-pitched teen girl voice.

>>22618311
It's a different guy playing Zelgadis for the first half of Season 1. But the rest of the time it's Crispy.

>>22618318
Fllay’s Ocean VA is Rarity in MLP.

>>22618311
I thought his first role was Captain Tylor.

YOU CAN'T MENTION GR15. <br>WHY DO YOU THINK I NEVER SAID HER NAME DESPITE HOW I OBVIOUSLY KNEW IT

>>22618325
I know her more for Naomi in Death Note and Roberta in Black Lagoon, St. Germaine is a very talented actress held back by vancouver only work, but man she could not pull off a good voice for flay.

>>22618362
She was also Nazz in Ed, Edd n Eddy, but only for Season 1. Then Erin Fitzgerald took over.

>>22609879
Ocean Group Rau is kind of a modernized Mid-Atlantic Accent. He has that calm authority in his voice but when he goes unhinged it's incredibly satisfying. Probably one of the best English dub performances in Gundam.

Is it true both the US subs and dub were bad?<br>We only had sub here in France but they were done by a big fan of the franchise, so they turned out top notch (with even a sneaky "Kira Jesus" joke reference being added : When Athrun yells at Kira he says "You think you're a messiah?")

Kolchak

>>22618466
They seemed kind of stiffly-worded. And used "Dullindal" instead of Durandal. Which I guess isn't wrong? But the official Destiny subs went with Durandal.

Anonymous

>>22618473
Could be that the dude translating had no context or knowledge and so, did a pisspoor job

>>22618466
There was one point where Shinn calls Kira "Kira-san" that's translated as "Mr. Kira". Felt very odd.

>>22618477
Honorifics are always a bit odd to localise. "Mr Kira" works as a literal translation, but doesn't feel right. I guess Shinn referring to Kira as "sir" might be better, but then could cause issues in other parts of the script if you're not consistent. Or you could just do what Persona does and leave the honorifics as is, because most of your target audience are probably weebs anyway.

>>22618466
I know the Del Rey manga translations were notorious for being pretty shit back in the day and not consistent, often jumping back and forth between the names seen on Japanese merch or the names for the English dub, sometimes even on the same page.

I think the breaking point was Durandal's name actually since their Volume 1 of Destiny's manga used Dullindal but come Volume 2, they had a huge multi-page write up about the terminology they used and would be using going forward, Dullindal/Durandal being the big one.

>>22601089
Orphee's VA is also a vtuber.

I miss the old dub. Someone in the theater shouted "what" when they first pronounced Lacus. Same with Orphee, it just sounded odd when it was first said.

>>22618752
The theatre that I went to basically laughed at LAKUZ CLYNE for the first few times it happened.

>>22618773
Caught me completely off guard, I though it was a sub going in, didnt realize it was dubbed.

Its so jarring hearing everyone with a new english va after growing up watching the old 2000's dub.

Any idea why they chose to pronounce Lacus as Lakooz now?

>>22618803
We (the ones who went to the 7pm screening) basically got fucking jebaited by Cineplex aka our local theatre chain, I will just copy and paste what happened from the other thread:

>Bought ticket around a month ago expecting JP audio with EN sub only since there was only one screening available during that time
>Arrived at the theatre today and suddenly there is another screening available a few hours after that mentions JP audio w/ EN subs
>Checked the sales terminal and saw that EN dub supposed to be for tomorrow so I thought I would be safe
>Still got the EN dub in the first screening anyway

While most of the viewers were like "eh whatever" at getting the EN dub but LAKUZ CLYNE is what did us in.

"Lakooz" sounds like something I'd hear from a 90's dub.

Apparently, it's (more or less) the correct pronunciation for the Latin word "lacus". It still sounds stupid.

>>22618810
>Idiots were so quick to buy their tickets a month early, they didn't bother to check
They have themselves to blame

More random pulls: Cagalli's dad in NYAV was another 4kids veteran. He voiced Odion in Yugioh.

>>22617548
It’s pretty funny. In my country seed and seed destiny were extremely popular. And I’m in the west too

>>22618016
>>22618128
What year? I remember Monster and Gurren Lagann being on there in 2008.

>>22619269
The Philippines aren't a western country. They're an ASEAN country.

>>22618752
They're pronouncing it right now though. You were used to the wrong version.

>>22619276
Anon I’m French. SEED and Destiny are the most popular Gundam here by far
In fact we got the movie here two weeks before the US.

>>22618473
>>22618476
This was know before, Bandai decided that going forward they don't want to change names that appeared in English in the series OP sequences so the some names in the official subs are outdated now. Dullindal, Jule, Elthman, Amalfi, Stellar will be the official international spellings now.

>>22618810
man i fucking love canada. home of the brilliant smart people

Any chances we will get an ocean dub version for a Canadian release of the movie? It really just isn't the same without Ed as Kira and double D as Athrun

>>22619006
The name is stupid in the first place. If we follow jp pronounciation, then it would be "Lux"
What was bandai thinking in the first place

>>22619380
>If we follow jp pronounciation, then it would be "Lux"
No.

>>22619299
Except they are not, the french sub directly says Durandal and not Dulindal.
In fact, the french translator, who is an huge gundam fan for more than 20 years, did a little interview about it, and he really wanted to avoid doing errors like that.
Hell, the sub even kept Athrun french name from the old english dub. Here, he's named "Asran" (Originally it was a mistranslation of his name in the original french dub, but they kept it since it became iconic here)

So it's not something Bandai asked, it's just the translator being shit.

>>22619413
>>22619299
french name from the old french dub*, sorry I got a brainfart when writing*

>>22619413
For the English release, it was a Bandai decision. I don't know about how the languages in other countries work, good for the French that they kept the names they are used to.

>>22601089
>ein dalton
>masahiro altland
>KUDELIA AINA BERNSTEIN!

>>22619436
Oh my god we're regressing back to 2002

>>22619380

>If we follow jp pronounciation, then it would be "Lux"

Adding to what >>22619405 said, the katakana is "ラクス", which is pronounced as "Rakusu". As for me, I just assumed the pronunciation to be "Lah-cus".

With why "La-coos" is insisted for the NYAV dubs, see it as a consequence of Bandai Namco Filmworks supervising the dubs, as Stephanie Sheh explained in this Tweet chain:

https://twitter.com/Sumirewars/stat<wbr>us/1779836082059714609

Adding in >>22619006 said, it's clear BNF insisted "Lacus" be pronounced "La-coos" to NYAV Post to make it more authentic.

>>22619436
Thank god I'm not american/british

You guys making such a big deal over Lacus when you heard her name in Japanese all these years and Google Translate is out there to speak for you how it's pronounced in Latin. The new dub is correct.

>>22619464
I know this is Gundam Seed, but I still prefer when people talk like human beings instead of anime charaters. And that means pronouncing Lacus like it's spelled and not how it's dictated.

>>22619497
Anglospeaking is the dumb one. Lacus is Lacus in most other languages.

Surprisingly, Mu VA was the one from the Ocean dub

>>22620135
Why couldn't NYAV get back any of the other VAs people liked? Was it just cheaper to get the usual pack of Funi VAs than to bring back any of the Ocean talent?

>>22620138
I think it's because Dewall moved to LA, so yeah, I assume cost, they probably recorded everything quickly with everyone at the same place

>>22620135
Wish they recasted Sheh because her Lacus is awful but she's basically buddy-buddy with Sinterniklaas so that was unlikely to happen.

>>22620138
Duval's in LA and has been for a while. Probably easier to get in touch with him than anybody because we know they never approached any of the Canadian older cast in the first place for the redub according to Hill himself back in 2018. Plus the dub was probably made rather quickly. Never intended to see the dub but my theater fucked up the showings. At least we got free tickets for the proper subbed showing.

>>22620142
I wonder how much it cost for Yashahime, since that brought back the Canadian actors for the old cast. There was also the Gintama Final Movie but that was only for the main trio.

>>22620151
Where the heck has Chantal Strand been?

>>22620146

Since NYAV's SEED Destiny dub.

>>22620135
Any other pics from the credits?

>>22620154
Its funny, Viz went out of their way to get 90% of the cast back for that dub, but when it came to bleach, a bigger franchise, half of the cast from the dub was replaced or forced into retirement.

>>22620402
But wasn't InuYasha a bit more popular than Bleach in North America?

>>22620402
Blame half of them having some weird white person guilt thing, looking at Chad's VA.

>>22620424
I thought it for most of them it was Studiopolis being cheap and not wanting to use union actors like Laura Bailey and Travis Willingham, and of course Vic for obvious reasons.

>>22619474
Conversely, "Lah-cus" just works.

>>22620453
People die when they are killed.

>>22620142
According to Luna's VA at the NY premiere she recorded all her lines in one sitting in late February, and most of the dub was done by then so I assume most characters were the same since a lot of the dialogue is just Kira and Lacus. I guess Sunrise gave them a short time to pull off this dub considering the premiere would be a month later.

Kolchak

>>22620138
Some might have been salty. One of the NYAV guys said something along the lines of "the old dub sucked" when the new dubs were announced.

Anonymous

>>22620424
Chad's VA has always been on a swivel. A bunch of Bleach characters had their dub VAs swap mid-show, possibly because they weren't willing to keep up with Cartoon Network's weekly schedule without demanding higher pay. Don't make it about race.

>>22620453
Lux.
Wish I remembered the rest of the weird translated-by-ear names from the early subs.

>>22620615
>Don't make it about race.
unfortunately, it is often the case in the last few years.

>>22620421
Female fans are different, I guess, they harassed the shit out of the ocean VAs back iun the early 00s.
>>22620432
Its a mix of that and race, although i suspect alot of the race replacements were smoke screens for quality union actors being shoved, seriously, all the recasts are awful.

>>22601421
And what do you know, he voices Mwu in the movie

>>22618803
Sheh said that the pronunciations were given to them by Sunrise so for all intents and purposes LUCOOZ is the official pronunciation now

>>22620135
really? thats cool.
I always thought he was great in the role

>>22620546
A lot of it did, but clearly it didn't suck enough for them to evoid cutting corners like this.

>>22619464
The "ku" in "Rakusu" is short, it is Lux. If it was actually Lakoos they'd spell it ラクース
Nip is just retarded and should stop using foreign names in their media

>>22621428
It's pronounced "Aeris", not "Earisu".

>>22621428
Lux is light, Lacus is lake. It's Lacus, deal with it. Also learn other languages besides anglospeaking, they mostly sound like what you read instead of changing the sound of the letters in every word.

Orphee is the same dub voice for Shaddiq? No wonder I thought he was such a weenie.

Anyone remember when JYB backstabbed the rest of Trigun's regular VAs by agreeing to do Badlands Rumble without his old coworkers?

Holy shit NYAV makes Clotho speak like a character from Sword Art Online, what the fuck were they smoking

>>22623886

He does play video games as a hobby so it made sense for him to talk like that.

>>22623488
First time I've heard about this

>>22623933
https://japaneseanime.fandom.com/wi<wbr>ki/Trigun_(Anime)#Trivia
>[JYB] was the only cast member to reprise his role as the main character for the movie, while his other three original co star friends (Dorothy Fahn the original voice of Meryl, Lia Sargent the original voice of Milly and Jeff Nimoy the original voice of Wolfwood) were recasted. Apparently Bosch, Nimoy, and Fahn originally approached Funimation with the position "You'll take all of us or you'll get none of us". After that, Funimation managed to get Bosch – who had worked with them before – alone, and persuaded him to go to Texas anyway without telling the others. However he was devastated upon learning that they were recast right behind his back when he went to Dallas to record his lines.

>>22623936
To be fair, I can understand Milly being recasted since Lia Sargent retired over a decade ago.

>>22623936
The prequel managed to recast the rumble cast with even worse funimation slop actors.

>>22623932

Do remember that he's been experimented on so that, along with playing games a lot, messed with his brain for him to use gamer lingo a lot.

>>22624113
So what? It's not an endearing trait nor is it making him meaningfully more unlikable. It's just agonizing to hear and both the director and the VA should be hanged for it.

>>22620135
Isn't the list supposed to be in two parts? There may have been further recasts from the NYAV dub. We at least know Mu got his Ocean dub VA back, what about anyone else who got changed from the NYAV dub?

>>22624689
Yeah, like did anyone else get changed? Is JYB still Dearka?

>>22624697
Is Dearka's VA black in english dub?

>>22624729
Unless you count him being the second Black Power Ranger, no. Johnny Yong Bosch is Asian. Though, I don't think minorities voicing other minorities is considered as taboo.

>>22624761
How is black knights' english dub?

>>22624734
>Though, I don't think minorities voicing other minorities is considered as taboo.

That's not how it should work unless the goal is just to push whitey out, actual race of the VA no mattering otherwise. What would an Asian know about being Black and vice versa

One quick question, was there an after credits scene because I did not waste time getting out of that theater and would have missed it.

>>22624883

No. I know this because I stayed for the credits to listen to "Sarigiwa no Romantics".

>>22624734
Dearka's a dark-skinned blond. They don't really count as black.

42/44 episodes into Seed. <br>I finally see why people like Mark Oliver's Rau - before this point he's been working well pulling an older Kopsa voice. But then halfway through this episode he suddenly comes ALIVE with ham, like a switch was flipped and he's allowed all the insane charisma signature to a Char Clone that he'd previously held back on.

Though I have to wonder, with all the dialogue they're giving Rau: Where the heck was Cam Clarke during NYAV's casting for the redub? I know he wasn't retired, he'd end up dubbing Elder D'Arby for Jojo Part 3 in 2018.

>>22625643

Clarke to my knowledge voiced Ulen Hibiki in NYAV's SEED dub.

>>22626135
Huh, he was. So I guess there was some level of understanding from NYAV about the MGS similarity.

>>22619464
Ingrid should have been voiced by debra wilson.

>>22626469

Don't feed that idiot. He brought up Debra Wilson and I still don't know why.

>>22626550
*they/them.
Stop misgendering a person whose look and identity are unknown, u oldtype bigot. Is ur mind weighed down by Earth's gravity, bigot?

It reminds of the dub for Godzilla vs. Biollante saying AHSUEKA

>>22628143
Was that the one done in hong kong or one of those early NYC dubs?
