Frailty Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Wanna throw in some random opinion here. I think Fujiwara Keiji isn't the best choice to voice Kagura. I feel like Tatsuhisa Suzuki would be better, he has a similar tone to Fujiwara Keiji but younger
Angry Guy of DE Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Keiji fits because Kagura is older than most of the cast (Ragna, Jin, and such) and I remember from BlazBlue Radio: Keiji: "Kagura and me have similar tastes. Booze and Women." Â
Frailty Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 when I meant old, I mean really old. Like Valkenhayn old. Err, maybe not. Valk's probably too old so maybe Jubei old. Anyway, Fujiwara Keiji's voice comes off that way to me Also, Kagura is probably just 3-5 years older than Jin. So he's not that old imo. I dunno, as I said it's just my opinion
BlackYakuzu94 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Kagura was already a lord by the time Jin was still in the academy, pressure he's a couple more years older. Â Â In any case, what do you mean by "too old"? How old do you think Kagura is supposed to be?
Frailty Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Too old = grandpa old, I guess. ok, 3-5 years older than Jin may be a wrong estimate. Kagura may be little bit older than that. The right guess might be him being a bit younger than Relius. So around 30 or so. And if we're going by the seiyuu's ages, Fujiwara Keiji is in his mid 40's while Suzuki Tatsuhisa is in his 30's which is probably around Kagura's age. So I thought having a younger seiyuu with a very similar tone might have sounded better I'm not saying Fujiwara Keiji did a bad job, in fact he did great. I just think it might have suited Kagura better if he had a younger voice actor
Tokkan Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I always thought Kagura was around Bang's age or maybe slightly younger. That being said, arguing that age should matter when casting voice actors is like saying that gender should matter.
BlackYakuzu94 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Sugita does not make Ragna sound his supposed age at all lol   I'd Kagura is a only a few years younger than Bang, so probably in his mid-late thirties.
Blade Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 Not sure many people noticed but, a huge chunk of the English cast of BlazBlue and GGXrd do voice work for Dragon's Crown, so it's the same company I think.
Vulcan422 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 BlazBlue = Cup of Tea Xrd = PCB Productions Dragon's Crown = ???
Tsuki Garyuu Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Yeah, not really the same voiceover company, it's just that most non-union/mixed VA's, being in L.A., are simply at the right place at (allegedly) the right time.
Tokkan Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Bang Zoom did CT and CS1. The switch to Cup of Tea came after SCMedia took over localization from Aksys.
SuzakuRainmaker Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Its also why Hazama and Bang have new VA's. At least this time it actually IS Doug Erholtz instead of someone else credited under his name. That was such a weird ass situation. Bang's actor change was so bad that, if it were any other character, it probably would've ruined them. Good thing Bang's too manly to be ruined by a bad voice.

For a while people weren't even sure who was the voice of Makoto was until one day someone decided to ask Cindy Robinson directly on Facebook.

I really hate their (really Japanese companies' in general) system of not properly crediting English actors sometimes. It's frustrating for the fans and I'm betting the actors as well, not getting the credit they deserve. Especially a cast as good as this one. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk
Ichipoo Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Somewhat relevant, but remember that we still don't know who Naoto Shirogane's original English voice actress is to this day (at least to my knowledge).

I've never understood why she didn't want any credit whatsoever. She did an absolutely fantastic job. Maybe they saw the darker side of Naoto's fanbase and wanted nothing to do with that...

Tokkan Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Crediting the actors actually costs extra and even then, some VAs will still refuse to be credited due to union issues. They may still acknowledge having played the role regardless of lack of credit in game; Laura Bailey still acknowledges her roles as Pyrrha in SCV and Lucina in FE:Awakening in spite of not even being credited in either of those games while numerous other VAs were (she is credited for Lucina in Smash 4).
BlackYakuzu94 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 There's also aliases and shit. Its amazing all of the intricacies that goes into VAing.
Sourenga Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 http://www.arcsystemworks.jp/index.cgi?eid=1622 Slayer's new voice actor confirmed to be Takaya Hashi. Not really a voice actor I know much about... Better do some research to find out what kind of voice does he usually have...
Poultrygeist Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Johnny = Wakamoto Norio Jack-O = Igarashi Hiromi Slayer = Hashi Takaya
