Well, I've noticed that since this is a English dub fan club, I might as well create a thread where you guys think up your own dub cast. The anime could either be a series that has been licensed but has yet receive a dub (Hayate the Combat Butler!), a series that hasn't been licensed yet (School Days, Sketchbook), or an anime series that has been dubbed in the past, but you thought of a hypothetical cast if another company licensed it.

In addition, you can also share role ideas for your favorite English VA as well. Apparently, you don't need to give reasons for your casting and choice, but if you do so, I recommend you doing that in a separate post.

You can organize the list in any way you want, by character, VA, etc. Here is an example of a cast idea organized by VA:



To Aru Majutsu no Index

James Arnold Taylor or Vic Mignogna-Touma Kamijou
Kate Higgins-Index
Cristina Valenzuela- Mikoto Misaka
Wendee Lee- Kuroko Shirai
Johnny Yong Bosch- Accelerator
Hynden Walch- Komoe-sensei
Kirk Thornton- Heaven Canceler
Steve Blum- Stiyl Magnus
Kari Wahlgren- Aisa Himegami
Michelle Ruff- Kaori Kanzaki, Aiho Yomikawa
Liam O'Brien- Aureolus Izzard, Ao Amai
Stephanie Sheh- Maika Tsuchimikado, Hyoka Kazakiri, Last Order
Doug Erholtz-Motoharu Tsuchimikado
Crispin Freeman- Mitsuki Unabara, Aleister Crowley, Touya Kamijou
Yuri Lowenthal- Pierce Aogami
Laura Bailey- MISAKA
Karen Strassman-Sherry Cromwell, Kikyou Yoshikawa


Here is another example organized by character:



Sketchbook ~full Color'S~

Sora Kajiwara: Cristina Valenzuela
Natsumi Asou: Hynden Walch
Hazuki Torikai: Kari Wahlgren
Kate: Kate Higgins (yes, I'm casting this character to a VA of the same name, so shoot the messenger)
Buchi: Brianne Siddall
Haa: Mela Lee
Mike: Michelle Ruff
Kuma: Derek Stephen Prince
Juju Sasaki: Bridget Hoffman
Daichi Negishi: Greg Cipes
Ujou Sugyou: Johnny Yong Bosch
Nagisa Kurihara: Lara Jill Miller
Ao Kajiwara: Yuri Lowenthal
Kokage Kuga: Michelle Ruff
Minamo Negishi: Rebecca Forstadt
Hiyori Kasugano: Wendee Lee
Ryou Tanabe: Julie Ann Taylor
Asaka Kamiya: Philece Sampler
Fuu Himuro: Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Tsukiyo Ohba: Stephanie Sheh


And if you want to share ideas for your favorite VA, be sure to indicate what series does the character come from:


Johnny Yong Bosch

Axis Powers Hetalia: America
To Aru Majutsu no Index: Accelerator
Sumomomo Momomo: Tenka Koganei
Kobato.: Ioryogi
Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Takeshi Yamamoto
Toradora!: Ryūji Takasu
Durarara!!: Izaya Orihara
Black Butler: Sebastian Michaelis
Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Battler Ushiromiya
Hayate the Combat Butler!: Puppet Butler, Himuro Saeki


Anyways, I would love to hear some of your ideas and share your thoughts.

I almost never watch subbed anime unless I absolutely have to see the series and there's not a dub of any kind, so I'm afraid I wouldn't have many examples. I honestly can't even think of any dubbed voices I've ever had a serious problem with. I'm honestly drawing a complete blank. I guess if I absolutely had to pick something, Zodd the Immortal (Berserk) or maybe even Guts could've been voiced by Dameon Clarke. I don't recall having any qualms with their current voice actors, though.

It doesn't have to take one days, my dub cast idea for To Aru Majutsu no Index took months and I made changes to my idea over time. So just take your time to think over it.

My picks for Black Butler (and with Funimation doing the dub it's possible this will be the list):
Ciel Phantomhive: Brina Palencia
Finnian: Todd Haberkorn
Mey-Rin: Cherami Leigh
Baldroy: Chuck Huber or Chris Potter
Sebastian Michaelis: J. Michael Tatum
Tanaka: R. Bruce Elliot

I know this series from reading the manga.
I actual like doing this kind of thing. I need to work on my Sailor Moon new cast.

Since Funimation obtained Hetalia and announced keeping accents for the dub, I might as well create a dub cast for this:

Major Characters
Italy: Greg Ayres
Japan: J. Michael Tatum
Germany: Travis Willingham

America:

England: Chris Patton
France: Jerry Jewell or Spike Spencer
China: Todd Haberkorn
Russia: Jason Liebrecht

Minor Characters
Switzerland: Vic Mignogna
Liechtenstein: Luci Christian
Canada: Aaron Dismuke
Hungary: Caitlin Glass
Austria: Eric Vale
South Italy: Greg Ayres
Greece: Dameon Clarke
Poland: Christopher Sabat
Spain: David Matranga
Sweden: Troy Baker

there are more characters to the series, but I'm trying to get a start here.

Personally, I prefer Johnny Yong Bosch as Sebastian Michaelis. But I've been noticing a lot of people wanting J. Michale Tatum to voice this character (particularly Funimation forums).

Anyways, here's the School Days dub cast I've thought up:


Makoto Itou: Greg Cipes
Sekai Saionji: Ashley Johnson
Kotonoha Katsura: Cristina Valenzuela
Nanami Kanroji: Wendee Lee
Otome Kato: Michelle Ruff
Hikari Kuroda: Hynden Walch
Setsuna Kiyoura: Kate Higgins

Thanks for the comment. But what part of the cast do you agree the most, or you simply agree 100% of the cast. Because I've gotten some criticisms for casting Johnny Yong Bosch as Accelerator at Mania.com (even though I personally think JYB would fit well into this character. Besides, it also helps his vocal range a bit).

Here's one for Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji:

Sebastian Michaelis: Johnny Yong Bosch (who couldn't resist having him say the catch phrase: "Yes, my lord!")
Ciel Phantomhive: Greg Ayres
Grell Sutcliff: Vic Mignogna

Finnian: Todd Haberkorn
Bardroy: Jerry Jewell
Tanaka:
Lau: John Swasey
Meilin: Luci Christian
Undertaker: David Matranga


Kobato:
Kobato Hanato - Kari Wahlgren
Ioryogi - Johnny Yong Bosch (yes, I admit that he isn't the best choice, but I want Bosch to play against the type more)
Kiyokazu Fujimoto - James Arnold Taylor

Ginsei - Crispin Freeman
Genko- Michael McConnohie
Chitose Mihara- Bridget Hoffman
Chiho Mihara- Michelle Ruff
Chise Mihara- Michelle Ruff
Kohaku- Kate Higgins
Kazuto Okiura- Vic Mignogna or Dave Wittenberg
Sayaka Okiura- Stephanie Sheh
Takashi Doumoto- Greg Cipes


Hayate the Combat Butler!:
Hayate Ayasaki- Yuri Lowenthal
Nagi Sanzen'in- Cristina Valenzuela

Wataru Tachibana- Spike Spencer
Yukiji Katsura- Julie Ann Taylor

Hmmmmm....I'm not sure why many of you guys are thinking about having J. Michael Tatum to voice Sebastian Michaelis instead of Johnny Yong Bosch considering a) Sebastian is voiced by Daisuke Ono, who also happen to voice Itsuki Koizumi from Haruhi Suzumiya (which is also voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch) and 2) considering that Johnny Yong Bosch worked on Funimation dubs in the past.

But anyways, here's my Durarara!! if a licensor in United States manage to pick the series up:

Mikado Ryugamine: Yuri Lowenthal
Masaomi Kida: Greg Cipes
Anri Sonohara: Stephanie Sheh
Izaya Orihara: Johnny Yong Bosch
Shizuo Heiwajima: Kirk Thornton
Simon Brezhnev: Jamieson Price
Tom Tanaka: Steve Blum
Celty Sturluson: Kari Wahlgren
Erika Karisawa: Lara Jill Miller
Walker Yumasaki: Derek Stephen Prince
Kyohei Kadota: Brian Donovan
Shinra Kishitani: Dave Wittenberg
Namie Yagiri: Karen Strassman
Seiji Yagiri: Crispin Freeman
Saburo Togusa: Grant George


To Aru Majutsu no Index if Funimation picks it up (not as good as the Californian one since there are a few blanks to fill):

Touma Kamijou- Vic Mignogna (despite working in some Californian dubs recently, it also works with Texas as well) or Chris Patton
Index- Monica Rial
Mikoto Misaka- Luci Christian
Kuroko Shirai-
Accelerator- Johnny Yong Bosch
Komoe-sensei- Hillary Haag
Heaven Canceler-
Stiyl Magnus- Travis Willingham or David Mantranga
Kaori Kanzaki- Kira Vincent-Davis
Aisa Himegami-
Aiho Yomikawa-
Aureolus Izzard-
Ao Amai-
Maika Tsuchimikado-
Hyoka Kazakiri-
Last Order- Carrie Savage
Motoharu Tsuchimikado- Todd Haberkorn
Mitsuki Unabara- Jerry Jewell
Aleister Crowley- Jerry Jewell
Touya Kamijou-
Pierce Aogami- Greg Ayres
MISAKA- Laura Bailey
Sherry Cromwell-
Kikyou Yoshikawa-

And finally, Toradora!, (not all the characters, but starting with the main ones)

Taiga Aisaka- Cristina Valenzuela
Ryuuji Takasu- Johnny Yong Bosch
Minori Kushieda- Hynden Walch
Ami Kawashima- Michelle Ruff
Yuusaku Kitamura- Dave Wittenberg

The look and attitude of Sebastian is similar to several other characters Tatum has done. I can't really think of a role Johnny has done that would be similar, though I'm sure he could do it.

Vic Mignogna hasn't just done dubs in Californian, he lives there. So do Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey.

Yes, I'm highly aware that Vic Mignogna, Travis Willingham, and Laura Bailey moved to California. That would explain why both Travis and Laura have roles in the Street Fighter IV game (which is dubbed in California).

I've chose Johnny Yong Bosch to voice Sebastian for two reasons: 1) his voice acting on Lelouch Lamperouge, a character have the sinister attitude similar to Sebastian, and 2) the character is voiced by Daisuke Ono, who also voiced Itsuki Koizumi form Haruhi Suzumiya (who is also voiced by JYB in the dub).

Well, J. Micheal Tatum is amazing for one, and I like to see him in more stuff.

Two, I like his voice for Sebastian for the fact that he has a slightly "refined" "proper" (you know because Sebastian's a butler) but still can have a hint of danger (he can do it, I know). If I remember correctly though Sebastain is the devil he doesn't let that on alot and is mostly the deadpan and collected, and gets pissed for comically purposes. Mr. Tatum's performance as Raikou from Nabari no Ou, sold him for me.

Third I have heard Mr. Bosch doing something similar ("refined" "proper" with Tenjou Tenge) and I did not really like it too much. Mr.Bosch aways sounds so "shonen" to me, even when he plays sinister characters like Sasori or Lelouch, he still sounded so heroic. I guess he can pull off the calculating Manipulative Bastard rather well, but I can't seriously put his voice to Sebastian's character, it just doesn't sit right with me.

Lastly, I hate to be "that person" but I would really like to hear some different, under-appreciated, and lesser used VAs to be casted. It's not like I don't want Mr.Bosch to get work, I just want others to get some work as well, you know spread some of that puddle of Voice Acting money around a bit, get some new talents out there and the whatnot. FUNimation has a whole slew of impressive Dallas-based VAs (some that's barely done anything), they should used them, darn-it.

Also I don't think that just because a Japanese VA voice a certain character then a American VA should voice the same role. I really think that's silly, and really shouldn't be what influence that decision, because if I following that kind of logic I would also recommend Vic Mignogna because they played the same character in Air or Robert McCollum because they played the same character in Kaze no Stigma. Not much of a reason to me, but to each their own.

And that's basically why I would want J. Michael Tatum over Johnny Yong Bosch. But, I can't wait for the official cast to be announced and that probably won't happen till closer to the end of the year. But I have an awesome feeling that the Hetalia cast will be announced during of the big cons either AX or Otakon, can not wait.

Also Greg Ayres for Ciel, BIG NO.

Don't be fooled, I have to remind myself who played what all the time, and 50% I know it's them because I saw their names in the credits.
But some have very distinct voices I can pick out in my sleep:
Justin Cook
John Burgmeier
Vic Mignogna
Laura Bailey
Jerry Jewel
Todd Haberkorn
Monica Rial
Chuck Huber
Greg Ayres
Brad Swaile
Aaron Daimuke
Johnny Yong Bosch
Chris Patton
Crispin Freeman

even the ones above surprise me sometimes and so they have a vocal range. ^_^

Greg Ayres would be perfect for N. Italy, but i'm not sure he'd be versatile enough to play both the brothers like Namikawa Daisuke.

Agree with Vic as Switzerland, but i'd go with Maxey Whitehead as Liechtenstein just to keep the voice actor joke from the Japanese dub.

Also I'm not sure why others pit Johnny Yong Bosch with western actors, he's a good dub actor no doubt, but really his only participation in Funimation dubs were just 2 or 3 roles about 3-5 years back.

Ya know at first I never cared too significantly for this sort of thing because I didn't want to risk feeling shot if I guessed any of my casting choices wrong. That and I never could think of any anime show I would be super super excited to see dubbed. However after watching Sengoku Basara, I do have an idea for some actors that could be in that show.

Date Masamune: Chris Sabat/
Katakura: Michael J. Tatum/Travis Willingham
Yukimura: Justin Cook/Josh Grelle/Todd Haberkorn
Sarutobi Sasuke: Michael J. Tatum/John Burgmeir/Robert McCollum/Travis Willingham
Takeda: Patrick Seitz/Chris Sabat
Kenshin: Vic Mignogna (only because of that Romi Paku casting connection thing)/Brina Palencia/Joel MacDonald
Kasuga: Caitlin Glass/Colleen Clinkenbeard/Leah Clark/Cherami Leigh
Nobunaga: Chris Sabat/John Swasey/Patrick Seitz

*laughes* Okay, WHERE did you hear of this outside of the planet DarkPaladinia? I mean, seriously! Johnny Yong Bosch is an awesome guy and all, but it's like if you were openly gay, you would go to to the nearest anime convention Johnny Yong Bosch would be in and ask him for his hand in marriage (depending on which state would allow gay marriage)! *laughes*

But all kidding aside, again, where on Earth did you hear that from when there wasn't even a dub cast announcement on ANN, Mania or elsewhere?

Actually, it has (partially), just scroll way down:

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10271

And Amazon listed JYB as one of the actors:

And no, don't ask me about my own sexuality. It's more of a personal thing (and no, I'm not gay). Where on earth is your manners? And have you keep checking the news.

@ DarkPaladinX:

Okay, okay, okay, okay, wait a minute! Why didn't Funimation announce the release date of the DVD, the dub cast or any of this at Anime Expo or something?! They're not even simulcasting Season 2 yet on their website/Youtube, even though they said they would!

Sometimes it bothers me when Funimation or any other company handles a show's release with little-to-no advertisement so that the show ends up becoming under everyone's radar. Especially when a company like Funimation is more than capable of promoting a show no problem. Look at them hyping the hell out of Hetalia! And then before that Dragonaut and Strike Witches! And before that Soul Eater! But not with Nabari no Ou, Big Windup, or Kaze no Stigma.

What is up with that? Is it that Funimation doesn't have that many people to manage advertisement for multiple shows at once or something?

But on a separate note, if Bosch is really gonna be Yukimura, then kickass man! If Robert McCollum is really gonna be Masamune, then I'm sure he'll do a swell job, but I fear that I may favor Kazuya Nakai's performance somehow. I mean I've never heard a Japanese seiyu sound so enthusiastic with the battle cries and Japan-engrish before.

I haven't heard a single thing about Hetalia, Dragonaut, or Strike Witches outside this forum. I've seen countless ads for Soul Eater, Nabari no Ou, and Big Windup though. ESPECIALLY Big Windup. That banner ad was so annoying.

They seem to like pick and choose what anime they want to heavily promote. Hetalia, Strike Witches, and Soul Eater seems like a no brainer more of a existing fanbase to arouse and the what not. Nabari no Ou, Big Windup, and Kaze no Stigma seems to have gotten decent exposer from them, but in no way like the first three.

Replace Todd Haberkorn with Yuri Lowenthal for Hayate, Monica Rial with Cristina Valenzuela for Nagi, Carrie Savage with Hynden Walch for Isumi, Caitlin Glass with Michelle Ruff for Maria, and Greg Ayres with Spike Spencer for Wataru, and you got yourself an epic dub cast.

Across from that, I have no comments on others, although my views might have changed it but I may or may have forgotten what I actually thought up. I think I had a reference in this thread.

But anyways, Madoka Magica:

Madoka- Hynden Walch
Sayaka- Laura Bailey
Kyoko- Jessica Boone
Homura- Cristina Vee
Mami- Monica Rial
Kyubey- Johnny Yong Bosch /人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\ (using his Renton Thurston voice)

I got bored and decided to come up with a cast for Urusei Yatsura, just for fun. I know that the Urusei Yatsura movies all received dubs, and I was recently able to come across them, so I want to make this roster before I hear the English voices. Since all three of Takahashi's other series are Viz licenses (and Ocean Group dubs, I think), I tried to use mostly early Ocean actors.

Ataru - Michael Donovan
Lum - Cathy Weseluck
Ten - Brianne Siddall (he's hard to cast... maybe Brina Palencia if I weren't limited to early Ocean Group)
Shinobu - Myriam Sirios
Mendou - Paul Dobson
Cherry - Richard Newman
Sakura - Willow Johnson
Kotatsu Neko - Himself

Before anyone mentions it, yes, I know that the majority of that list were prominent characters in Ranma. The show's acting pool encompassed just about everyone Ocean had back then. :I

Okay, this is quite interesting. Since Funimation seems to have been involved in BRS here is my list of VAs for Black Rock Shooter:

I'll go with the main 5

Jackie Ross (Mayuri Shiina) of Stein's Gate)= Black Rock Shooter/ Mato Kuroi (since Mayuri has a mag with BRS printed)
Jad Saxton (Perrine Clostermann of Strike Witches)= Yomi Takanashi (she and Miyuki were once Perinne)
Wendee Lee (Faye Valentine of Cowboy Bebop) Yuu Kotari
Carrie Savage (Rimi Sakihata of Chaos Head)- Kagari Izuhara (since she and Eri were Rimi)
Emily Neves (Angel of Angel Beats!)- Saya Irino (Noto and her were once Ichinose of Clannad)

You can't have Wendee Lee in the same cast as Jackie Ross, Jad Saxton, or Emily Neves. Brittney Karbowski could be a decent replacement, though.

Also: Christine Marie Cabanos as Nyaruko? Bryce Papenbrook as Hastur? Seriously?

Yeah, seriously. You do realize that Hastur is a boy despite looking like a girl. Also, my idea casting decisions for Nyaruko-san is due to something called typecasting, After watching two of his anime roles in Durarara!! and Sword Art Online, and playing Fire Emblem Awakening; I can easily conclude that Bryce Papenbrook does best with his typecast as the "kid hero," "nice guy," and "genki boy" type of characters (even surpassing Yuri Lowenthal in that). This is the same reason why I think he's the best choice to voice Aladdin for the Magi dub and Nagisa if Free! gets a dub. Feel free to discuss in my profile page why you think it's a bad idea (or post your own dub cast idea for Nyarukosan).

Also, I made up a dub cast for Chunibyo and Watamote! Both using Bang Zoom! since they are both worthy for Bang Zoom! dubs despite bieng licensed by Sentai Filmworks.

Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions

Yuuta Togashi- Johnny Yong Bosch
Rikka Takanashi- Wendee Lee
Shinka Nibutani- Sarah Williams
Kumin Tsuyuri- Christine Marie Cabanos
Sanae Dekomori- Stephanie Sheh
Makoto Isshiki- Lucien Dodge

Nanase Tsukumo- Karen Strassman
Touka Takanashi- Lauren Landa

Watamote!

I'm aware that Hastur's a trap, which is precisely why I think Bryce Papenbrook's a bad choice to portray him. Even though he's a go-to guy for kid heroes, Bryce's standard range is still recognizably masculine. If you want to play up Hastur's youth and androgyny, you need someone who can manage higher pitches. First instinct would be to have JYB do his Renton voice. If you really want to engage in pigeonholing, you can try Spike Spencer. Erik Kimerer would also be a solid choice, given that his standard range is similar to Spike's. If you still want Bryce to play a part, why not have him as Mahiro himself?

As for Christine Marie Cabanos as Nyaruko...eh. Just not really seeing or hearing it for some reason. Going off my suggestion of Bryce Papenbrook as Mahiro, you can try having Cassandra Lee Morris as Nyaruko.

YES. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. Their voices are annoying in the Japanese version. This made up cast would be perfect! But Sentai Filmworks licensed it, so I don't think Kira Buckland would be in it (though I'd love to hear her try a cute little girl voice).

Lucien Dodge (Chili from Pokemon Black and White) - Shuri Oak

Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyou
Christine Marie Cabanos (Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) - Akari Taiyou (Seriously, this is Aniplex. A hundred bucks says they're going to cast her as the main character)
Sarah Williams (Sayaka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica) - Seira Hoshikawa
Lara Jill Miller (Kari from Digimon) - Ginka Shirokane
Kira Buckland (Madoka from Lagrange) - Luna Tsukuyomi
Stephanie Sheh (Yui Hirasawa from K-On!) - Fuyuna
Derek Stephen Prince (Ken Ichijouji from Digimon Adventure 02) - Cerebrum (seriously, his Digimon Emperor voice would be PERFECT for this guy!)

Sailor Moon (if someone ever decides to redub it, as it OH SO DESERVES)
Hynden Walch (Nia Teppelin from Gurren Lagann) - Usagi Tsukino
Cherami Leigh (Asuna from Sword Art Online) - Ami Mizuno
Colleen O'Shaughnessy (Sora Takenouchi from Digimon) - Rei Hino
Christine Marie Cabanos (Madoka from Madoka Magica) - Makoto Kino (she needs to play against type more often)
Philece Sampler (Hiyori from Lucky Star) - Minako Aino
Claire Corlett (Sweetie Belle from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) - Chibiusa (Aww, come on! I know she's not an anime actress, but her voice would be so cute for Chibiusa!)
Cassandra Lee (Ritsu from K-On!) or Alison Viktorin (Sasami Iwakura from Sasami Magical Girls Club) - Luna
Vic Mignogna (Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club) - Artemis
Steve Blum (Leon from Gurren Lagann) - Zoisite
Marc Diraison (Akihiko Kayaba from Sword Art Online) - Kunzite
Bryce Papenbrook (Kirito from Sword Art Online) - Saphir

Although I didn't mention this, what are you thoughts of giving Alice and Karen British accents and making them sound cute at the same time if KINMOZA! gets a dub. I chose Kira Buckland as Alice because 1) I really can't think of anyone else in Sentai Filmworks's Seraphim Digital Studio to do this role, and 2) I think Kira Buckland has the vocal range and capacity to voice a cute British loli AND voice her with a cute British accent at the same time.

Really nice insight. Funny thing is the main reason I was thinking Bryce Papenbrook should voice Hastur is more of the that I was thinking of a cute boyish voice for Hastur rather than a feminine androgynous voice. Bryce's vocal range is relatively high (but not too high) that allows him to be casted into "kid hero" or preteen boys, but his voice acting isn't overly deep though. Also, Hastur also fits into the "nice guy" personality which a lot of characters that Bryce Papenbrook voice fits into the "nice guy" character archetype (such as Kirito, Asbel, Makoto Naegi, and Guan Ping). Erik Kimerer and Spike Spencer are good alternative choices for Hastur as well.

Also, from what you are suggest with JYB as Hastur and Bryce as Mahiro, it's like the total reverse of what I thought. It's kinda funny too, JYB is capable of a higher pitch voice, but I decided to cast him as Mahiro more relating to the fact that Mahiro is relatively similar to Sakura Kusakabe from Dokuro-chan, and the fact that I expect Mahiro to have a bit higher pitch and "wimpy" at the same time (in a similar vein like Renton Thurston).

Hynden Walch, Cassandra Lee Morris, and Bryce Papenbrook in the same cast as Brittney Karbowski, Caitlin Glass, and Austin Tindle? Richard Epcar and Derek Stephen Prince in the same cast as Andrew Francis? What is this, I don't even. As a matter of practicality, you don't mix the regions like that.

For what it's worth, though, I saw what you did with the CCS cast, having JYB, Steve Staley, and Dave Wittenberg reprise their roles from the second film. Why not just recycle the entire cast (Kari Wahlgren as Sakura, Michelle Ruff as Tomoyo, Wendee Lee as small Kero, et cetera) and make adjustments as needed? Joshua Seth and Lia Sargent may have left the business, but there are still plenty of viable alternatives within the standard Los Angeles talent pool.

I've never done this before, but here's my idea for Toradora! For some characters I have multiple ideas. Since it's a NIS America-licensed anime, I have no idea which voice actors they would pick, so I just fell back to FUNimation voice actors, with some others here and there.

Ryuji Takasu
-- Micah Solusod (Tsutomu Senkawa from Birdy the Mighty Decode, Toma Kamijo from A Certain Magical Index/A Certain Scientific Railgun)
-- Johnny Yong Bosch (Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass)
-- David Matranga (Tomoya Okazaki from Clannad)
Taiga Aisaka
-- Cherami Leigh (Shana from Shakugan no Shana)
-- Colleen Clinkenbeard (Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece)
Yusaku Kitamura
-- Todd Haberkorn (Tsukune Aono from Rosario + Vampire)
-- Joel McDonald (Ryoshi Morino from Okami-san and Her Seven Companions)
Minori Kushieda
-- Monica Rial (Bulma from Dragon Ball Z Kai, Index from A Certain Magical Index)
Ami Kawashima
-- Brina Palencia (Holo from Spice and Wolf)
-- Trina Nishimura (Kurisu Makise from Steins;Gate)
