I don't agree (I actually love the guy) but I can't stand him as Kyon. Although maybe that's just because of how much better Crispin Freeman is.


I actually loved Kyon's voice and his voice acting was really good.

The entire dub cast of Girls und Panzer.
I watched it subbed but I did check out the dub once strictly out of curiosity. I don't think I was able to finish half an episode. It sounded like 40 yr old housewives attempting to turn back the clock to sound like high school girls.

All anime involving high school characters is automatically sub-only for me. Male characters aren't too bad either way but Western female dubs for girls always sound totally off.

Another totally out of place voice acting experience for me is when the southern U.S. accent is used for Japanese characters. For example for the Rurouni Kenshin TV series English dub the two Sekihara sisters Tae and Sae. That accent is too strongly associated with it's own geographical area (southeastern U.S.) and using it as a method to differentiate a different Japanese dialect completely blows the immersion. I understand what they are trying to do but it simply backfires.

In the English dub for Noein the physicist Uchida Ryouko sounds like she just stepped out of a meeting of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Casting Billy Bob Thornton as the monk in Princess Mononoke was also a horrible decision.

The actor who plays the Medicine Seller in the "'Bake Neko" arc of Ayakashi Samurai Horror Tales pales into insignificance when compared to Sakurai Takahiro's remarkable performance in the role. Probably my single favorite performance by a male seiyuu ever.

The dub for hinata shintani from Maid-Sama was awful. Going back to the "southern US accent doesn't work in anime" reason. Another reason I go for subs more often than dubs

Yuki Kaji as Hermes in Arslan Senki. I do think he's a good VA, but his voice simply doesn't work for that kind of menacing character. Sounds way too unnatural.

And then you've got Noriko Shitaya as Himeka Kuujou in Kamichama Karin. Worst voice performance ever? Quite possibly.

I've only seen that in English dubs. Yuno Gasai didn't have a fitting voice at all, and Yuki's was nice to listen to, so no complaints.

THIS.

giving a manly man character to cute voiced pretty boy... Tsk tsk.

I still like him he has no fault but that's just weird... Just trying to don't judge by its cover anyway...
