MAN IT SUCKS... Jesus listening to Al talk on the english version of FMA is really hard..... He really sounds like he is a noob at it. He speaks without any expression. Its really anouying. Or it might just be that I'm so used to the japanese Al.

Though in actuality, the English VA who did Al is really just a kid. He does massively improve in later episodes I can assure to you that. I'm actually glad FUNi did that casting choice because after finding out that Rie Kugimiya who does Al's voice also does Shana's voice in Shakugan no Shana, and that just shattered my image (yeah, I know there are reasons for female VAs doing little boys' roles, but still).

I liked the FMA voice cast, alot of the cast has voices that aren't heard alot, and im even alittle shocked to hear some more well known VA's like Scott McNeil.

It's all preference. I absolutely hate the voices from Neon Evangelion. It sounds like half of the voices were done by people pulled from the short bus.

I got to go with most of the people here. The FMA dub is one of the better dubs in anime right now. In the earlier episodes, it was kinda iffy, but it does get a lot better as the series progresses.

After Season One, FUNi realizes that FMA is freakin popular and decided not to half ass the dub and put some effort into it, which shows... a lot and that's great... because at the end of the series I prefered the American dub over the Japanese.

And hell, that scream Roy's VA delivered at the end of the series > Roy's Japanese VA.

Nuff. Said.

Uh, I believe FUNi already knew that FMA was popular so that's why they licensed it in the first place (after mustering enough money to get it of course).

Dubs tend to improve over time once the VAs get used to their characters; that I'll agree with.

I hate it when people insult Al's voice on FMA. He is just a kid, and a damn cool one at that. And I didn't have any problems with any voice the dub had. I liked most of them better than the sub...ie Ed.
