So, I've been watching the Funimation website in order to learn who is being cast for what in the English dub of Ouran High School Host Club, and although I don't know very much about the actors, I think they'll do a great job. I'm a little worried about how Kirimi will sound, but I'm going to trust Funimation to have picked out the right actress for her role. I heard Carrie Savage talk like a kid on youtube and wondered whether she had auditioned for that role. I think she could have done it.
Aaron Dismuke as Yasuchika should be quite amazing. I'm rather excited about that and have full confidence in his skills. :D
As for the rumors of Sonny Strait being Ranka, I hope for everything that it wasn't just a rumor and that someone accidentally released information early and had to take it down because Funi asked them to. If Sonny Strait is Ranka, I will feel like throwing a party. After having seen him as the flamboyant Maes Hughes in FMA, I have high hopes for him.
Anyhow, that's my take on things. If I don't like the dub, I can watch the subs. There's no reason for me not to buy the dvds. I can't wait for them to come out.
Here's to hoping that Funimation will make a successful and well casted dub for Ouran High School Host Club. Whoever plays the twins and Tamaki, even Hani-senpai, will have an enormous pair of shoes to fill. Really, anyone who plays a host has big shoes to fill, but especially the ones I specifically mentioned.
