| I don't mind the constant shouting given that it's part of the character. It's just the voice quality and how the Asta's seiyuu unnecessarily prolongs the last syllable of every word that's grating to hear. Hypothetically, if there were another seiyuu that can take Asta's role, who do you think would be the most fitting who also wouldn't be as annoying? |

| Let us not forget that this anime is just another generic battle shounen, and that's first is the problem here. Not some damn voice. |

| Yeah, I thought Murase would have been perfect for the role. I think anyone would have been better than that train wreck. But I do feel kinda bad it's the seiyuu's first role, gotta start somewhere right? Village person B would've made more sense than the lead role though! Edit: What I find funny is that no one complains about those high-pitched moe voices like that nazi loli. To me that's even more grating on the ears than Asta's voice. |

| his voice is godawfully generic in OVA. his voice is pretty unique now, that's good thing in a generic battle shonen anime. |

Edit: What I find funny is that no one complains about those high-pitched moe voices like that nazi loli. To me that's even more grating on the ears than Asta's voice. Even before checking this thread I also thought of Murase. His style resembles Murase's, and Murase's voice+technique are better... I've read so many people comment on his voice around FB and Twitter, but I didn't imagine it was THAT BAD? Then I had to come here to check if other people felt the same His voice timbre is not bad IMO but how he prolongs every goddamn vowel specially at the end of the sentence and his voice gets hoarse/shaky Idfk how to define that I GET SO ANGRY OMG GO CLEAN YOUR THROAT?? And THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING HIGH-PITCHED MORE VOICE I feel exactly the same and that is one of the reasons I avoid watching some anime like, seriously... I have to turn the volume down every single time someone appears and """"talks"""" |
| I'd replace him with Shiraishi Ryoko because I will watch anything with her in it. In all honesty, I can't blame the voice actor as he was actively told to yell 90% of his lines. I will however place most of the blame on the director and the writer for the most generic shonen of the past 5 years. |
| Definitely Ayumu Murase, Aoi Yuuki, Yuki Kaji, or Hiroshi Kamiya. Tee-hee. |

| https://myanimelist.net/people/65/Mamoru_Miyano https://myanimelist.net/people/270/Nobuhiko_Okamoto Well I think the voice is fine seriously. AT LEAST YOU DONT GET A FRIGGING GIRL AS A VOICE. It is just episode 1. Seeing how this will progress. Feels like naruto and fairy tail without the ecchi. |
"When you made this thread, I cried and screamed" -Swagernator 2017 |
| A monkey could give a better performance than the abomination that's voice acting Asta. At least monkey screams don't make my ears bleed. |
| Ayumu Murase, because I like his voice so even if he yelled all the damn time I wouldn't find it annoying. Too bad he's already voicing Luck (I'm sure he'll make a great Luck, though). Yuki Kaji would have been good too, but he already voices too many MCs and important characters... |
 |
| Yes! Ayumu Murase or Yuki Kaji. they've perfected the yell/talk and scream thing. This poor guy they have now has his work cut out for him. hopefully he'll get better. |
| No offense intended to the author of this thread, as it's a topic worth discussing. But I've read a lot of comments from people that are disappointed with his voice acting, and I've also read a lot of comments from over zealous fans who keep making excuses for how the series will get better, so I wanted to set a few things straight. First off, his voice acting. Kajiwara Gakuto is making that irritating banshee screech, because the director and or creator instructed him to do that, the director is also one of the people that has to approve of each line of dialogue before finalizing the episode. Even if they replaced his actor, the directing staff will remain the same, and they will give the same instructions to his replacement, because once the first episode has aired, it's pretty much set in stone, and you don't typically see studios re-dub while the series is airing, as it reflects badly on them and interferes with the working schedule. People have a bad habit of blaming who they see and hear, rather than the ones that are responsible for the decisions that are made. My concern is that this will have a negative consequence on Kajiwara Gakuto's future career, seeing as he doesn't have any other roles to compare it to. I've also read comments from people claiming that the guy should retire from voice acting, do they even understand just what they're talking about, as well as how incredibly insensitive and childish a statement like that is? I think that some of these people should try watching shows like Girlish Number and Shirobako, and have a better understanding of the lives of the people they hold such a strong negative view towards. Yes, there are bad actors, but it's the experienced people who approve of and instruct the bad acting that should be blamed first and foremost, not the upstart whose just doing what he's told to do. Overall, I do not see his voice changing at any point in the future, unless the character suddenly loses his ability to talk, that banshee cry is not going anywhere. Second, the story. In response to the constant over support from the manga's fans. 1. This is not the only series this season, there are many other shows that we have prior commitments to, as well as newer shows that we're planing to watch. Don't knock other people for not sharing the same interests or attachments as you do, we have our own, and I'm sure that the circumstances have been reversed for all of us, and on many occasions. 2. As of now, I see nothing original about the series to hold my interest, it seems to follow the same generic playbook as virtually all other shonens. We have the spiky haired mischievous boy, who no one treats with respect, he has a dark haired rival who looks down on him, all the girls hate him at first, but will suddenly see him in a more positive light do to his 'never give up' charisma. Oh, and while he seems weak in some areas, he actually has a mysterious power hidden inside of him. 3. Comparing the shortcomings of Asta to main characters from other shonen series as a justification, is rather dumb, we all notice how generic the other shows are, and how the main characters more often than they should, tend to have the same annoying traits. The difference is that these characters are not repulsively annoying, all of the time, if I do not have the means to like anything about a character, because he is constantly irritating, then I will not sympathize with him, instead I will grow to loath him. In fact, his personality is not what people are complaining about to begin with, so anyone trying to use this point should stop wasting their time. 4. No, the animation is not amazing, and does not give me a reason to place this show above all others. 5. While the manga might have been good, that doesn't mean that the anime will be the same, I've seen many shows that out preform the original work, and I've also seen shows that under preform them. Another point of concern is that the success of one can often mean the failure of the other, do to the fact that people hold a strong biased for their personal preferences, and I can assure you that the anime will most likely make a number of changes that will upset the fans before it's over. Just take the anime of Sword Art Online for an example, some love it, some hate it. 6. As stated earlier, I have no attachment to this series, while it may get better as it progresses, I have no reason to watch this show, and do not believe for one moment that I would be missing anything, if I were to I decide not to watch it. Having said all of that, I still intend to give this series a chance, at least as far as the third episode is concerned, and that also includes the dubbed version, assuming that Funimation produces one. If you still do not like how his voice sounds in the original Japanese version, then I suggest trying out the dub before officially dropping the anime series, but that's your call. Now, sorry for the wall of text rant, and in getting back on topic. ^_^; I don't really have an issue with his voice actor, if you pay close attention to when Asta talks normally, his voice doesn't sound all that bad, it's actually kind of like Kakihara Tetsuya, who voices characters like Natsu from Fairy Tail. So to be honest, I'm fine with Kajiwara Gakuto continuing the part, as long as the directing changes. |

Oh, and while he seems weak in some areas, he actually has a mysterious power hidden inside of him. if nobody respect asta, then asta would be bullied.. remember asta is not lonely, he life in orphanage with otheres... they look asta as siblings that easy to tease at if anything... they play together, live togeteher, sleep togeteher, which even asta enjoy it alot... hance why that's what motivated him to free their orphanage from proverty... even yuno is same... he even also respect asta a lot... girl hate him directly? not really... he even goes to blind date an get a girl, tho he is clueless about it... and asta never has hidden mysterious power inside him...

No, the animation is not amazing, and does not give me a reason to place this show above all others. it' does not amazing if you compare it to such as OPM, Mob psycho, BnHA, Haikyu, ETC, but definitely much better than other long run like FT, WT, current OP, or even previous Sousei no Onmyouji... new gintama also kinda suffer, but not much since they are really good at save budgeting (cough cough, sunrise) Palsa-San said: 5.

Just take the anime of Sword Art Online for an example, some love it, some hate it. sowrd art online adaptation problem is that they are rushed... maybe you are get better comparison with others long run... Sousei no onmyouji get anime anouncement when they still has 7 vol, WT is 8 Vol, while BC is 10 vol + 1 LN Vol when anounced (currently 13)... but yeah since it's still first episode and we don't know how many episode it is (but pretty sure it's long run because time slot), it still too soon to predict it... however, it's need to be noted that BC has no lack of original source problem which where usually where battle shounen suffer...

If you still do not like how his voice sounds in the original Japanese version, then I suggest trying out the dub before officially dropping the anime series, but that's your call. 3 episode rule is kinda stupid especially for long run series... it's usually still about bild up and character introduction especially if you build a big story... gintama doesn't get warmly welcomed until 50 episode or so... WT doesn't get fired up until 15-20 episode... one piece git gud starting from arlong or even alabasta arc (ehich even near 100 episode)... if you are not that impatient, maybe you are not a long run shounen viewer to begin with...

| Well, the 3 episode rule kinda varies depending on the person, in my case I have an overwhelming number of shows to pick through already (not just the simulcast), so if I'm not at least halfway interested in a show by the 3rd episode, then I'll probably drop that one and move onto another show. :D |
|
| Kajiwara suits him perfectly so don't blame the him, blame the directer for the annoying dragged out yelling. Voice actors have no say in the way they do their acting, if they want a job or to keep their job they have to act how they're told to and if they can't get it right then their career is going to take a tumble. Besides, this seems to be Kajiwara's first ever show so give him a break. |
| people who don't know that manga should seriously know that Asta is supposed to be this loud annoying character. The current seiyu suits him fine because of this. Or is it just because he is a new seiyu. in which case people seriously need to get over it. the guy got his first break as a lead character because the producers and the original author found his voice suited the role. |
| Asta's voice is the only thing I like about that show, so I wouldn't change it at all. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Absolutely Murase. Their voices are actually pretty similiar except for just one thing: Murase's better in EVERY way. Not saying his current VA is horrible, it's really just that disgusting screaming of his. Too bad he screams more than he talks. |
| Nakata Jouji. XD Any character sounds perfect if it's voiced by Nakata Jouji. lol |

| Without reading the rest of this discussion, a new voice for Asta wouldn't fix the problems with the story. |

_Poochyena_ said: Asta's voice is the only thing I like about that show, so I wouldn't change it at all. Same. Its what keeping me to this series. Prolonging endings make it really comical and fitting to his frustration of fruitless attempts at magic; gives me a chuckle. |
| If you're annoyed at his current VA, then his VA is doing a good job. Asta is suppose to be annoying, it's his character. |
| I suddently want this now. |
 |
| Rather keep it the same....Its nice to see people get mad over his loud voice ;) |
