They're going to dub it? I bought the series from JB Hi-Fi, Australia and it was still in Japanese. JB Hi-Fi wouldn't sell anime in a foreign language usually.pink haze wrote:Woot, Funimation announced the voice actors for the dub XD
We'll see how it turns out. The original will be hard to top.
I really loved Tohru Furuya as Casshern. Spent my childhood watching Sailormoon in Japanese and always thought Tuxedo Mask did top notch screams. Ya, definitely perfect for Casshern...

They licensed it before the American dub was ready... Australian companies generally just take the American dubs so they don't have to do them themselves. However, sometimes they either do the dub themselves or release as subtitle only to cut costs.

Re: Casshern SINS
No, we don't do English dubs. All Australian dubbed anime comes from either the US or the UK, usually the US. It's just decimated down from NTSC to PAL and then has the US company logo switched with Madman's, or if it's a Siren release it usually doesn't get a dub at all. Australian anime DVDs are terrible quality and you shouldn't buy them anyway. Better to buy the R2 if you want to support the industry and then watch a fansub. Madman RUINS anime.

Re: Casshern SINS
I have just finished watching the English dub! Final Verdict: Original Japanese wins.
For me anyway. For everyone else:
I'd say the voices do not differ enough for it to be more than a matter of taste which is better. I would have welcomed more variety.
The dub translation, in comparison to the subs and fansubs, is generally the same but occasionally more sparse. Considering that the dialogue was, content-wise, minimalist to begin with, simplifying it wasn't really necessary.
