Today Funimation announced the voice talent lineup on their up and coming block buster film coming to theaters this summer and to blu-ray later this year. Excited yes we are! Some of the original voice talent has returned and some has not. This will be interesting for me as I loved both the Subtitled and Dub versions of Trigun, the 1998 animated series.
What do you think folks? My thoughts are as long as they sound close to the original cast I don’t think it will throw off the mystique that much. For example with the Slayers movies they brought in a whole new casts to fill the roles of the characters and it was bad so bad I never finished the dub version I just switched over to Japanese and did not look back. Why you might ask? Cause the First 3 seasons of the slayers on DVD had a really good cast on both the English dub and original Japanese track. When the rights to the movies and ova’s went to another company out went the old voice talent at least for the North American releases. And that really played out poorly cause the voice cast for the dub was really bad and incredibly different from the original. Bottom line hope this does not happen to Rumble in the Badlands.
