YES WELCOME BACK BABE <3

That news made me so so happy :)

Since Spiderman Homecoming won't release until August 11 over here, I hope he's still in time for the dub. It would be sad if he had to give up on Tony Stark....

Otherwise I guess Shin-chan will be the 1st series he will resume work on.

I wonder if it's because the Fujimoto that'll appear is younger or if they had to replace his va permanently.

I'm hoping it's the first case.

That's really an unfortunate thing to hear. I hope his treatment will go well, and have a quick recovery. Great seiyuu.
