Guesses on who voices what character? I'm hoping we don't hear Ed Elric as Takumi. |

I think it's a little too early for them to tell us anything about the cast... I am just glad they got the rights to use the original music in both dub and sub versions. | ||

Honestly, I thought the Tokyopop Bunta wasn't so bad, save for some bad acting. The actual voice was pretty damn fitting. | ||

This post made me wonder if any of Funimation's voice actors on FMA worked on Initial D... seems so far none have... >< Although I haven't heard the guy voicing Scar from FMA before I really enjoyed his work as the main character in Disgaea 3. | ||

More NEGATIVE than a black hole Group: ADMINISTRATOR Posts: 19,345 Member No.: 12,263 Joined: Sep 12th 2005 Location: Update Profile | The wonderful thing is that Funimation has quite a few connections. There are a few instances in which the talented Johnny Yong Bosch (Vash the Stampede) was part of a FUNimation production. They could always use him again for one of the many many many many male roles in Initial D. They also have talent like Eric Vale (Trunks) and Jerry Jewell (Rin Tsuchimi, Shinichi Kudo). I can guarantee you Colleen Clinkenbeard (Riza Hawkeye) will have a part in Initial D. Chris Sabat (Piccolo, Vegeta, etc etc etc) will probably have a role or two as well considering his impressive vocal range. Here is my speculative cast list of the major characters. Takumi - Jerry Jewell Bunta - Dameon Clarke Natsuki - Brittney Karbowski Itsuki - Sonny Strait Iketani - Sean Schemmel Kenji - Kyle Hebert Keisuke - Johnny Yong Bosch Ryosuke - John Burgmeier Nakazato - Vic Mignogna Shinji - Eric Vale Mako - Colleen Clinkenbeard Sayuki - Laura Bailey I think those would fit the original seiyuus quite nicely. |

I listen to the Japanese voice in Initial D and I match it to whoever sounds closest. |

LOL, I know some people don't like him. Including me. Mainly it's his ridiculous "TCHAAAH"s and "HHUUGHGHAAAAA"s that get to me. You're not a Power Ranger anymore Johnny, get over it. | ||

Wouldn't it be funny if he ended up voicing Takumi instead? >< | ||

JYB is good at playing cynical, angry characters. They could take Ichigo and drop the pitch a bit, and it'd sound pretty good. Minus the yelling, of course. | ||

IDW's Corolla Rolla' Group: Advanced Members Posts: 503 Member No.: 13,208 Joined: Oct 2nd 2005 Location: [=(86)=] | Just got Third Stage from Wal-Mart for $10. Voice acting is a little better than what TokyoPop did, and Funimation kept the original soundtrack. DVD also includes a trailer for Fourth Stage. The animation and production visuals are the best I've seen, extremely clean. They kept the translation very close to the original message, intent, and meaning. Unfortunately, the voice actors try too hard to pronounce the names of both racers and mountains, so it sounds like mangled Japanese. The only voice I'm disappointed with is Yuichi's, the gas station owner. He sounds too young, compared to his looks. I prefer TokyoPop's voice actor for him. |
