Besides Todd Haberkorn as natsu we have:
■Tia Ballard - HAPPY
■Colleen Clinkenbeard - ERZA
■Cherami Leigh - LUCY
■Newton Pittman - GRAY
■R. Bruce Elliot - MAKAROV
■Monica Rial - MIRAJANE
■Christopher R. Sabat - ELFMAN

This seems like a pretty good cast to me. Tia is good so i know she can pull off happy, colleen was a given wink, OMGZ Cherami got Lucy (my life is now complete, now if only she would get stocking too). i enjoyed newton as panties in eden so thats a good choice too. bruce is awesome, rial can pull that off and sabat is also a good pick. now we need to fit tatum and micah in there somehwere and im golden (preferable as gajeel and alzack respectively).
 
I'm liking Cherami Leigh as Lucy, although I am a bit skeptical about Colleen Clinkenbeard as Erza and R. Bruce Elliot as Makarov though - it seems R. Bruce is just the generic "Old man voice" dubbing companies have.

Christopher R. Sabat as Elfman is a must though! Same with Monica Rial as Mirajane. Best casting decisions there!
 
The lack of Chris Patton disturbs me

Colleen Clinkenbeard could be quite good, in a Riza Hawkeye way

Not sure bout Cherami Leigh, i can hear her monotone primula voice in my head

Todd Haberkorn should work though, specially Lings voice

but all that matter is MONICA RIAL \O/
 
I'm generally a fan of Colleen Clinkenbeard...I can imagine her as Erza when Erza's angry, but otherwise?

Still, could have done worse. Christopher R. Sabat as Erza would have made my skin crawl.

EDIT: I'm calling Vic as Loke.

i'm keeping my bet of chris patton appearing sooner or later
 
I'd imagine Chris Patton would make a pretty good Jellal.

I'd say Colleen's voice works for certain characters, like Ritsuko in Evangelion ...but for Erza? Also, her surname is awesome. Heck, it took some time for me to get used to her voicing Hawkeye in FMA.
 
Would only ever get this if it had Kugimin in it (only reason I watched it).
Anime dubed into Engrish by famous seiyuu I'd pay for. It would at least be spectacularly funny, better than I find most English dubs as is.
 
The problem with most English dubs these days, is I can recognise the actors - this wouldn't be a problem, if it didn't happen with every show, regardless of company. It's the main reason I can't watch the Naruto Shippuden dub. We need some fresh talent!

That's the same with Japanese dubs, too, though. And actors. And musicians.
Only shows I know that're all veterans are Clannad and Hayate no Gotoku.

Generaly you get a few newcomers being pushed hard by talent agencies, who turn up in everything for a year or two, then disapear.
There's serious problems that none stay around long enough to get proper experience, or get to the level they can coach others.

Things like K-on! had only newcomers for the leads.

This is still overuse, just followed by underuse. It's actually worse at times than if they just stuck with the same pool of actors for too long.
 
Aye, Shinchiro Miki, Mamoru Miyano and a few others seem to be around everywhere. It's probably better casting that makes it less noticeable; with English dubs, come really stick out like a sore thumb.

Only problem with the English dubs though, is it's at least 95% of the cast. Hell, most of the time, it's 100%.
 
may as well stick this in here, Next weeks chapter is going to have some news on the anime, so sounds like it's going to get another extention \o/

I hope they do a gintama and have a movie then continue the anime when there is a lot more manga material cause i dont want it to end up like bleach is :roll:

tbf, FT's filler has been rather good
I remember how in the Battle of Fairy Tail arc, Laxus was excommunicated from the guild for making the members of Fairy Tail fight each other, and for betraying them yet in the False Dragon Slayer filler-arc, Gray was let off with doing far worse; endangering every citizen of Magnolia.

Doesn't make much sense. If you have to do filler, at least remember the canon.

But yeah, I hope it does a Gintama and goes on hiatus rather than fillers.
