What anime would you want to recast, which voices would you change and which voice actors would you put in the main characters roles?

Even if you like the choices they made, is there someone else you think would have been better for that character?

I wouldn't really replace him, but I would've liked to see Yuri Lowenthal's portrayal as Ayato Kamina (RahXephon), who was originally voiced by Chris Patton. Not that I want him ENTIRELY replaced, since Chris Patton still did a good job, but I'd like to hear Lowenthal as Ayato for no real reason.

Because he (subjectively), has a kickass and bombastic voice, has a decent vocal range, etc.

Only english VA I hate more than him is Greg Ayres. Then again, all dubs are pretty bad with the exception of wolf's rain

I like Crispin Freeman. I think he's one of the most versatile in the business. He's even on my favorites list.

I think Wendee Lee fit Haruhi. I do not think he fit Kyon.

I think he's an awesome voice actor! And I liked him in Haruhi. I didn't think it was a bad dub, especially with Johnny Yong Bosch in it.

I wasn't a huge fan of the series in general, but I liked the dubbing. Maybe they could have voiced him better but I don't think he was bad for the part. And I personally didn't like Wendee as Haruhi.

Stahp trying to change SoL. It's supposed to be boring.

Also, you can't expect too much from KyoAni. They're just doing what they do...which ain't much.

Well when they made haruhi they really werent that bad, it was after that series that they started recycling the exact same character types from a combination of haruhi and clannad for the many years to come, making the same show remade dozens of times yet somehow always managing to sell

Kyo ani is basicallly the cod of anime now that i think about it, recycle same thing as last time yet still make a shit ton of profit

I like SoL but this didn't interest me that much. Gahh, and the episodes where he kept redoing the same day!!! Why?!?!?
It just could have been better OTL

Almost forgot, OT: There's a few I could probably think of, but honestly...fire the whole fucking English crew that dubbed Nadia. What a mistake...

Also, I can't figure out what Software Sculptors was thinking when they cast Joani Baker to play Amelia in Slayers. Veronica Taylor must have been hiding under a rock. I'd have re-dubbed the first few episodes she didn't get to do before releasing it. Same with the Dan Cronin/Crispin Freeman switch.

No matter how irritating it was, nearly everyone who watched it, watched it all the way through to try and pick out the differences. That's pull for you.

Every protag of a harem anime will be voiced by either Takehito Koyasu or Norio Wakamoto - unless that character is already voiced by Kamiya Hiroshi, in which case they are to stay voiced by him.
Also, any elderly characters will be voiced by Sugita Tomokazu.

Any time an anime character ever has to speak good English (Black Lagoon, that one episode of DRRR, the foreigners in Genshiken, etc) I'd get someone who actually knows how to speak English to do their fucking voices.

Just let Morgan Freeman do it every time so that we can get wet over his voice.
