New pinned post because my last one was clearly outdated. I’m still more active on Bluesky but I semi-returned to Twitter because I’m passionate about anime and physical media and want to speak more about its erasure and cultural erosion in more places. Update over lol

This is important to consider. The talent pool for VO has increased so much over the years. I didn’t expect my words to reach that far but apologies to those who may have been unintentionally hurt. Nothing but love for dubs.

NO ill will meant towards you, but this business is massively competitive and really talented actors get forgotten by studios that record major projects for a variety of reasons. As soon as they don’t appear in every popular anime ever, fans think they stopped acting on purpose.

To my English dub loving friends, who are some semi/retired or otherwise inactive Funimation voice actors you miss? There are a lot you just don’t hear anymore. It’s been years since we heard from Witney Rodgers, Brandon Potter, Gwendolyn Lau and Joel McDonald (in a non reprisal)

I was just doing some perusing on BTVA and was surprised to see Kate Oxley in the Vending Machine isekai. But outside Todoroki’s sister and Akane Tsunamori she seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

I know it’s good to expand the talent pool but it’s kinda sad not getting to hear Sheska’s VA in like a decade+ I know we also mentioned Cris Patton recently which also partly inspired this.

With this, the P.A. Works Working trilogy is complete.
Two more anime releases added to the collection. Haeukana Receive as a fun looking ecchi series before that Funimation Essential is gone, and finally added the Shirobako movie to go with my TV series Blu-ray.

I know there’s still Komada and The Aquatope on White Sand but the former never got a US Blu-ray and the latter never got a Blu-ray outside Japan. F you Crunchyroll.

Fresh from the UK in today. GKids released this series in the US for a much cheaper price but only on Blu-ray. AllTheAnime has a nice 4K collectors set here and I had to splurge for the GOAT Miyazaki’s solo directorial debut.

MALAS NOTICIAS El anime "Hyouka" ha sido oficialmente RETIRADO de Crunchyroll. Con esta decisión, la serie ya no está disponible de forma legal en ninguna plataforma de streaming, una noticia que tomó por sorpresa a muchos seguidores. La eliminación incluye tanto la primera temporada como sus contenidos adicionales, dejando a los fans sin una opción oficial para volver a verla.

Now that BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War is over, if you’re craving something similar, yet totally original, PLEASE check out Akudama Drive. Many of the TYBW staff worked on it, and it has the same director/script adapter (Tomohisa Taguchi).

It’s very cinematic, like Blade Runner meets Reservoir Dogs in anime form, and comes from a story by Kazutaka Kodaka (Danganronpa creator). It’s awesome, trust me.
