I thought David Vincent did a great job as Gil and pulled off the arrogance and kingly demeanor quite well. Of course, Seki Tomokazu is still the best King of Heroes.

What a piece of shit

And the dub fans be like STFU THIS DUB ROCKS

And then they be like I WANNA PLAY THE VN

And then they be like Y IS THIS NOT IN ENGLISH Y DIDNT THE JAPS HIRE THE ENGLISH VAS INSTEAD

oh my gosh please tell me this is not something you believe we dub fans actually think or would say. ._.

Anyway, as far as I'm aware this is being dubbed by the same studio that dubbed Fate/Zero. Considering the F/Z dub is flawless, I'm pretty interested. It'll be a lot weirder to watch a F/SN dub than it was to watch F/Z's dub due to F/SN's cast having voices I'm already intimately familiar with due to the VN. It took me quite a while to get used to Kari Wahlgren as Saber in F/Z despite how excellent her voice acting for it was.

F/Z dub was arse

they cut out Kirei's magnificent engrish in the last episode.

doesn't matter how good or bad the rest of it was, that alone makes it automatically shit.

I wonder how they'll deal with " I am the bone of my sword". I know it sounds awkward in English, but UBW isn't UBW without the magnificent Engrish chant.

2006's dub utterly butchered it, while the movie retained it, so it can go both ways at this point.

2006 dub didn't have engrish, but it gave us gay bulge instead, so I'm ok with that.

You're going? That's great.

Hmmm. You could ask him if there was any conscious decision to make the adaptation more similar to Fate/Zero by putting more focus on the characters around Shirou (sort of emulating an ensemble cast feel)?

Well, the good news is Shirou's voice actor: Bryce Papenbrook (Eren Yeager from AoT). He's a very good VA.
The bad news, THE FUCK DID YOU REPLACE LIAM O'BRIEN FOR?

At least Kirei, Saber, and Rin sounded from alright to great.

But damn, i can't get over Archer's voice.

It's perfectly suitable for this Shirou. A more calm and older sounding Shirou wouldn't really mesh with what's actually happening on screen.

Or this could just be me glad it's not Sam Riegel.

Bryce Papenbrook... Eeeeeeeh. I know Yuri Lowenthal is almost cliche at this point, but I would have preferred him, since I think he captures the sharp, pointed quality of Noriaki's voice really well. He sounds very generic at the moment and not much better than Riegal. Maybe that will change once I've seen the dub but eeeeeeeh.

Archer sounds weird. I thought Liam was too deep but whoa that Archer sounded really off.

Mela Lee Rin I've always enjoyed.

lol they ruined Rejoice. Also Crispin Freeman sounds too young for old Kirei. But I like his voicework so maybe I'll let it slide.

Tony Oliver Lancer I can dig, but I'll always hear him as Zhang Fei.

I always liked Kate Higgins Saber but Kari is decent.

Mixed feelings about this dub. I have this really big feeling that I won't enjoy it near as much as I enjoyed the F/Z dub.

I LOVE Yuri, but he has exactly four voices:
1) The kiddy voice (early Simon from Gurren Lagann).
2) The whiny voice (Yosuke from P4).
3) The badass protagonist voice (late Simon).
4) The emo character voice (Sasuke - Haseo from .hack// - Yuki Makoto from P3 - and tons more...).

That's all the voices he's absolutely perfect in doing, from what i can see. He doesn't suit Shirou that much IMHO.

Pretty much my thought. Soon as I heard how they butchered 'Rejoice boy' I knew I wouldn't watch this.

If we can accept that she spoke Japanese in her flashbacks to medieval Britain, I don't see much of an issue with her speaking like an American.

Seems like a silly thing to get hung up on.

I get your point, but she's the, supposedly, only English speaking character in an English dubbed show. Wouldn't it make more sense to make her accent more British even if she was speaking Japanese in the show to the characters?
At least i think it would.

Oh gawd this dub won't be very good....

Kirei should be Jamieson Price, NOT Crispin Freeman. He did a good job as younger Kirei, but as older Kirei it sounds off. Price has the deep base that Kirei needs to have.

Saber should be Kate Higgins. Again, Kari will do a good job - she's a talented VA, but I just don't see her playing moe Saber very well.

Shirou is Bryce Papenbrook..... argggh kill me now. I never liked this guy. His voice is so melodramatic and over the top I could never take him seriously in other shows. Honestly, I'd have even taken JYB a million times before PapenBrook.

Why isn't Archer Liam O'Brien? Who is this new guy? He sounds terrible! I promise you, O'Brien would have been a hundred times better as him.

At least Ayako gets Brina Palencia <33
She'll do her justice 100%

Mela Lee was always good as Rin. I'm glad she's back.

That's not really the problem. In Japanese, that's all they can do. By that logic, Shirou speaking english in the dub should be just as unacceptable.

But in English, they have the opportunity to do something that isn't possible in Japanese that would have added a lot. Lancer with a legit irish accent would have been kick ass, and Saber speaking with a british accent adds a lot to the poise that the rest of her dialogue projects.

And they chose not to do that. It's tremendously disappointing because it's such a huge missed opportunity. If they don't go for touches like that and take advantage of the opportunities they have, they'll always be playing catch-up to the sub in terms of quality and enjoyability.

This. One of the biggest reasons I enjoyed the Hellsing Ultimate dub more than the sub (sorry Wakamoto and Jouji) was that they managed to have authentic accents that fit the characters they were playing. It really helped elevate the dub from being a simple "anime dub" to actually sounding like a professional dub one might even hear in a well done American cartoon.

Like, the Black Lagoon dub would be just another dub if it didn't insert lines like "limp dick son of a bitch" all over the place (which I presume wasn't in the original, since japanese insults tend not to be as diverse, though they do say fuck a lot). I sure as hell wouldn't recommend people to watch the subbed version of Black Lagoon.

Baccano is another show that you just have to watch dubbed because of the accents.

Fate could have been one of those shows if they had done it well, but instead, they didn't even try.

Tony Oliver, the director and scriptwriter of this show, was also the director and scriptwriter of Fate/Zero and one of my favorite game trilogy ever; .hack//G.U. He's a real professional who worked on some VERY good dubs.

I think we're freaking up just a tad. I mean the majority of the cast are some of the best VA's, and they're working under a pretty awesome director with granted-to-be awesome script.

I mean, I'm still pissed off they replaced FREAKING LIAM O'BRIEN-ahem... with this guy: http://myanimelist.net/people/8491/Kaiji_Tang
But I'll give him a fair chance, and i think he'll be fine. NOT AS GOOD AS FREAKING LIAM O'BRIEN WAS, but decent enough.

Yeah, i still remember F/Z's dub trailer. That shit gave me goosebumps from how epic it was.

This one, not so much. At least Kirei and Kerry are guaranteed to be great. All ten minutes of their screen time.

The F/Z dub was actually really good though, aside from some stilted dialogues and lack of accents. Pretty much every VA fit their characters unlike in this dub where we can hear at least 3 off VAs right off the bat.

I watch dubs whenever there is a decent one available - the FZ dub was actually the first Type Moon product I ever experienced. Even I am enormously disappointed by this.

To be completely honest, I may have complained about Saber and Kirei's VA choices, but those are relatively minor issues. It's nothing that ordinary dub watchers like myself wouldn't gladly accept.

However, Shirou and Archer's voices cannot be overlooked. They're the two most important characters, and it's gone badly wrong. When I first watched SnK, I switched to the sub of my own choosing just because I couldn't stand hearing Bryce Papenbrook as Eren.
