@Supernatural-Knight OH BOY HERE WE GO

 

Oh no @Supernatural-Knight I meant are you ready for it to be dubbed.

 

Ew, don't even think about putting Greg Ayres in this.

 

I believe it's because you watched pretty much every anime that got dubbed since 2010 as it was airing, i.e. Subbed, so you're used to these voices.
But Shiki, for instance has been dubbed after 2010 and the voices seem to fit the characters (and I first watched subbed), but let's talk about the third season of SnS, I've watched it both subbed and dubbed and I think that both versions are pretty good whereas friends of mine can't stand the dubbed version because they're so used to the subbed version, it seems odd to see other voices on these characters.
It's the same story with pretty much everything, they all tend to prefer the first version they saw.

 

He'll play Nagisa.

 

@Supernatural-Knight No, I must've had the same thought as you.

 

From what I recall from the scans, blue exorcist is full of teenager slang anyway, so what's wrong with it?
If you only dislike the VAs, then that doesn't mean it's bad, especially if you're only basing yourself on the trailers (I don't know if you re-watch them dubbed before criticizing).

 

Hmm, if we're on the topic of dubs, did anyone watch Gatchaman Crowds?
Luci Christian will be playing Hajime, which is awesome.

 

I haven't, is it good?

 

@Negi-Springfield Quite good, it was one of the best shows airing last year.

 

The synopsis looks average, but I may watch it after nagi no asukara or mahouka kouko.

 

Free was? Oh boy here we go. BINGE TIME!

No you retard, he asked if Gatchaman Crowds was good.
