You've been granted the power to change any character's voice actor/seiyuu. WYD?

Anyone, any number. Name it. I'll start first.

So long I've been wishing for Koizumi Hanayo to be voiced by Minase Inori. She has this whispery and soothing voice (Rem, Takano Chizuru, Chino,...) that I think would suits Kayo much much more.

Kubo Yurika (Kayo's current seiyuu), on the other hand, sometimes left my ears bleeding. I'm not saying she's bad. I like her voice but only as mischievously funny girls. Also she's done an amazing job as

Everyone will say to change Asta's voice actor; replace his voice with a jet engine whenever he screams, I'd much rather hear that.

I would replace the voices of Asta and every girl from every anime with the one of Jouji Nakata. It would be dream made reality.

@SpadesofAce and @Illyricus, I've only heard Asta's voice through PVs but I can already agree with you guys. Though to me screaming shonen is more of a problem in directing rather than in the voice actor him/herself, don't you think so too?
I mean you could change Goku's or Vegeta's seiyuu but in the end whoever does a better job in ravaging the audiences's ears becomes stronger, right?

Well, I really can't stand how inredibly girly Kenshin sounds in the anime so I'd definitely want to change that. It doesn't have to be a super manly voice, just not the most girly voice I ever seen on a male like it currently is. I never thought about who could be his VA in particular but I'm thinking maybe Kensho Ono?
I probably regret this post by now.

Both English and Japanese voice casts of Elfen Lied could use some changes. Those who watched it knows which characters I'm talking about.

Suwabe would be epic too, but Nakata is too much Nakata.

@king_pineapple Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't have many problems with Asta's voice, he sounded annoying at first, but you get used to his screams as you watch the show, and after a while, he gets so loud it ends being funny (in a "so bad, it's good" way).

Asta's voice is just a meme at this point, tbh.

^ I second this. I can never understand why back then they thought it's fine to cast old women for shonen heroes.

I totally agree about Itou Shizuka playing Minorin. I think Horie Yui suits the composed and wise type better than energetic and cheerful type.
But personally I can't imagine anyone who would do a better job voicing Ami than Kitamura Eri.

hmmm I think Itou would out perform Eri as Ami.
When I think about it Kawasumi would work best as Minori considering her great performance with Nodame

Then Itou could do Ami due to her great voice range being able to sound the best for any situation

Oh, I misunderstood you there. I thought you were saying you'd like Itou as Minorin and Kawasumi as Ami. You know, when you put the order like that I kinda think about it respectively.
My strongest impression of Itou is this girl

so I wasn't thinking about her doing the lady-like characters. But yeah now that I think about it maybe her voice could be nice for Ami too.

Well her voice for Takao is pretty good when voicing cheerful girls so she could probably do Minori too but when voicing Ami I was picturing her kind of doing a blend between Wilhelmina and Rindou who she also voiced

Yeah mate, Takao is just my own impression. Setting her aside I also think Itou suits the captivating/attractive ladies better.
Oh and I forgot to mention but when I think about Kawasumi only "EXCALIBUR!!!!!!!" comes to mind so I guess I won't be saying anything about her lol xD And I haven't watched Nodame Cantabile too so I don't know about Kawasumi's perfomance in it.
But then again, if we think about her as Saber not in the main series, but in Carnival Phantasm, then the cheerful type might really work out.

Nozawa is Goku, and If you watch Dragon Ball from the beginning in Japanese like normal and not starting in Super It's fitting because of natural progression.

Also LOL funi's first DBZ dub was complete garbage, one dub that definitely deserves all the hate it gets with it's shitty unfitting faulconer music and green acting.

I'd replace some of of Yuki Kaji's and Bryce Papenbrooks roles just because I think they are cast as mains to often.

If music is the only reason you love a show then you're not really a fan of it. I love Shiro Sagisu's bleach soundtrack but I would still like the series with a different score.

It's definitely not the only reason I like the show, but it sure sets the atmosphere for me at least (just my opinion). I am a huge fan, I just really like the Faulconer music better (I know a lot of people don't, and that's okay.)

You disgust me OP, saying my Hanayo-chin needs to have her voice changed. Truly disgusted by you. If you listen to her Natsuiro Egao de 1,2, Jump! Her voice is overall great, especially when it comes to singing. Nawatobi was trash, I can admit that, but her Natsuiro Egao de 1,2,Jump! was Imo #3, only behind Eli and Honoka's version. You gotta think about their singing voice as well since it is an Idol Show.

Takumi from Initial D definitely deserved a change (which happened in the movies). In the original Japanese sub he sounds like he's 30+ years old when he's only a teen



Shinji from Evangelion I thought would have a much deeper voice than he had. Guess it fits his character more possibly?

Apart from Asta, nobody comes to mind. Characters' voices are part of them to me so I wouldn't change anyone whether or not I liked them. Then again I don't even keep up with Black Clover. His voice actor was about the most ear-grating thing I've heard in a while though.

I really like Morikawa but he's to masculine sounding for how I imagine Griffith.

The dub for Berserk 97 is a bit iffy for me, everyone sound pretty stiff until the Zodd fight but they all improved after that at least IMO.
