I would have spazzed out at Crispin Freeman playing Shizuo, but my parents were asleep -_-;
But that makes me SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY
CRISPIN FREEMAN FTW
No doubt he will pull off a fabulous Shizuo mrgreen  

[OuranBleachVamp]

OMG, YESSSSS!!!!!xD I'm so getting it once it gets one DVD!!!! mainly for subs, XD but Crispin Freeman seems to fit Shizuo ok for me. =) I hope it will work out, unlike what sadly happend to Vampire Knight dub. T.T so disapointing.  

[Sire Jaculate]

Hell yes X'3
I read something about that in NEO magazine ;D
sehr sehr happy.
Apparently a few other anime have been licensed.
will hazz to recheck  

[HElWAJIMA SHIZUO]

As long as they don't slaughter the pronunciation (which would be hard to do for this series) I'm happy.

 

[neverendingsolitude]

I second Heiwajima-san. When I read that statement I remembered several series that failed in that way -____- I remember watching Tsubasa and Tomoyo called Kurogane, kuro-gay-ne -FAIL-  

[Devil Miharu]

I doubt they will, though Mikado's last name might be hard for some people
But it won't turn into a disaster like the Last Arbender movie D:
They need to find the right VA to match Mamoru Miyano's energy with Kida  

[neverendingsolitude]

Yeah, same with Izaya's psychopathic/childish ways .
I hope they get a VA that can do his psycho laugh xDDD  

[Devil Miharu]

Yes! They need someone who understands Izaya's 'desires' mrgreen
Bang Zoom Entertainment, don't fail me now!  

[kridnor]

If only they can get Chris patton as Izaya,

In Chrno Crusades, Chris patton voice a character name Joshua who has a demented and childish. That fits Izaya perfectly.

unfortunally youtube knocked up off all english dub of chrno crusades, (If you do find it online, check out the end of episode 2 to find joshua)  

[Icipher Infinite]

Good match up, Kridnor.
*loved Chrono Crusade*

And haha, insanity is hard to dub. Look at Higurashi. They epic failed on the laughs.

Hopefully, they won't be disappointing in the future, I look forward to everyone else's dub in the end. <3
 

[Devil Miharu]

Yes, kridnor! I have seen Chrono Crusade, and I absolutely adore Chris Patton <333
Maybe Johnny Yong Bosch might make a good Izaya? He actually plays a very convinving villain, even though Izaya is more of a psycho sweatdrop  

[I am RanDOOM]

I hope they pronounce the names right unlike some of my classmates that go like
Mikado- Mi-kaa-doe (and they couldnt pronounce his last name) and Masomi- Mass-omi (But they got his first name right XP)
I think the only name they got right was Simons : P  

[OuranBleachVamp]

heheh, that reminds me of the bleach notebook I had, and one of my classmates asked me what the names o all the characters on there were, and the only one he liked was Chad cause he could pronounce it. xD

Yeah, I have the feeling someone's going to pronounce Ryuugamine like "Ruu-ga-mie-ney" or something. *shudders*  

[the other j3lly b3an]

Oh yes! Can't wait!
