D.Gray-man...in english?
Apparently, D.Gray-man (one of my favorite shows!) was recently licensed to Funimation for dubbing, and is due to be released in early 2009. Now, I'm aware that this has been known for a while, but I'm just now getting around to posting an entry about it. ;)
First off, I'm semi-glad to hear that it will be dubbed. I'm all for watching the "original" anime in Japanese, but as I can't speak that language I need subtitles, which can be a nuisance to watch and/or find. However, dubs are always a gamble. Look at Death Note. Most everyone I've talked to hated Misa's voice. (I actually didn't mind it. I was Light's voice that annoyed me.) The point being, that new voice actors can be quite the shock when you already have ideas of what the person should sound like, especially if, like me, you like the Japanese voice actors in D.Gray-man.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely not saying that an anime shouldn't be dubbed. I speak English; I like my shows to be in English if possible. I'm just worried about how the voice are going to turn out. -crosses fingers- I guess all I can do is wait!
Can we at least have the first episode as soon as possible? xD
