I just hope they're directed well, regardless, so far Blum's Lucius is my least favorite dub portrayal shockingly and Huynh's Ann my favorite at the moment with just the 10 minute sneak peek and trailers to go off of here.
It's good that they are doing the Union thing, but will the actual vocal direction itself change? That's what I'm skeptical about, so far. Based on the HZ sneak peek, in an odd reversal of the norm, TPCi did a better job with the female leads than the male leads so far to me.
It should be: very interesting how the original dub’s final production was a Movie/Film for the Ash/Satoshi Series, but in the current dub’s case, it’s this special.
I'm going to say possibly Nemona, but I hope not...it'd make logical sense, but she would have to have delivery less akin to her Korrina and more like her Flannery with a Spanish twist for me to be able to enjoy it.
Actually, it was Shinx and Sunflora in the Mystery Dungeon special afterward. Maylene was her first role returning in S11, but then she got blacklisted, and supposedly it wasn’t due to leaking info but the grudge apparently from prior.
Wish-casting who I want to be in the Horizons dub eventually (Lisa Ortiz has worked with many of these people before!):
Veronica Taylor (Make things right w/Ash and co. gone for good, would be an olive branch & show respect to the OG mains they never got from the company so far)
Eric Stuart...
She did, it was very noticeable in a lot of late BF and early DP: I suspected it at the time, and she had a Blog of Chenners back then where Sarah used to talk about it. She apparently quit sometime (good for her), but it was very notable and Ash’s dub voice was at its deepest and most gravelly...
Ironic it’s the same VA as originally, but his voice is a bit more heavy at times (different vocal direction a factor?). He’s the only major character to get back his OG 4Kids VA, trivia (the only other 3 roles that eventually went back to their original English VAs under the 4Kids Era are Nurse...
He's been back for a while, believe it or not:
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Darren_Dunstan
Ironically his last role was Barret in S16 on here, though, go figure?
He's done both Pokemon & Yu-Gi-Oh simultaneously: 4K/Konami happily let Natochenny, Liscio Jr, and Paschall etc. join them, TPCi happily let many 4Kids VAs return to minor roles save a handful like Tracey over the years- it's just JCC & KR 4K/Konami have had a nasty quarrel with over the years...
I think they'll probably bring her back, Edward Bosco, Bill Rogers, and Mick Wingert given their usual roster. Ted Lewis has been back for a while, as has Marc Thompson, so that duo as well will stay put too, IMO.
I wonder if after 17 years of an embargo on the triad, they will down the line...
We'll see who they bring back as it progresses, I suppose crosses fingers maybe they'll reconsider their treatment of Taylor etc. down the line, though.
She’s the girl with brown hair at the start of the episode, Anjali K. is dub Roy.
@snowmint They rescored most of it, sadly, Ed’s stuff is not as unlistenable as usual but it’s still pretty laughable a lot of the time.
Whoever the script writer is, did a shockingly good job so far: I didn't hear any of the rad-isms that had been introduced in English dub Season 9 here (e.g. "Why we didn't catch us any," "You've just gotta keep on truckin'," "So psyched," "Kay," "O'course," "Raise the roof," etc. etc., and...
Well, here's my thoughts on the sneak peek/preview dubbed:
- Lucius is how you take a fantastic VA, and give him the exact wrong direction: Steven J. Blum, sir, what on Earth is this? It sounds seductive, gruff, and unnatural: Mrs. Ortiz, please work on this for the actual episodes, when he...
Thanks! Sarah is only in a minor role here to start, but interesting, the female student with brown hair was good from her to me.
Hurts my heart to see thus far my least favorite Pokémon voices are from some VAs I have liked quite a lot in other instances (I liked Erica's Nurse Joy in the later...
I actually like it: all things considered, Kira did a good job. The only ones I don't like so far are the trainer's Espeon and Charmander, but it's just a trailer. Rattata is very meh, it's OK, no strong feelings one way or the other.
I can't tell what to think on the script writing, yet, but...
