#i just heard who would be taking over him as the new eng va and

[sh1-n0bu]

wait why and how is argentis eng va getting replaced? first the incidents with the eng vas of hoyoverse being creeps but now argenti va getting replaced? is it bc of the vas against ai strike? huh???????

[youkaigakkou-tl]

Earlier today, my sis and I tried thinking if terrifed teach was an anime, who would be the vas

We came up with:

Justin Cook (Kirishima [BNHA]) for Hijita

Justin Tindle (Karama [AssClass]) for Sano

J. Michael Tatum for Miki

Jonah Scott for Hatanaka

Landon McDonald (Ranpo [BSD]) for Akira (maybe, he was a hard one to pick)

Christopher Sabat (All Might [BNHA]) for The Principal

Kaiji Tang (Gojo [JJK]) for Karasuma

Luci Christian (Uraraka [BNHA]) for Kuniko

and then we got stuck

asgdsgafgdsf this isnt even putting the cart before the horse anymore this is fully loading the cart and building a stable before the horse

tbh. i dont watch dub anime so idk VAs (but also idk japanese VAs either. VAs just arent a thing i pay attention to in general really) but i have some free time so i guess ill look up some demo reels and give opinions on the ones i have any opinions on

(and find out that all the VAs i do know are from genshin)

Justin Cook (Kirishima [BNHA]) for Hijita

tbh i barely know any of the characters this guy voices. i guess its fine

wait actually. i know EXACTLY who should do hijita. max mittelman. that guy is so good

Austin Tindle (Karma [AssClass]) for Sano

shitttt ur right sano is kinda karma he's just less smug about it

oh what this guy also voiced kaneki i think i actually watched TG in dub back in the day

J. Michael Tatum for Miki

oh shit this is pantalone from genshin hell yeah

Jonah Scott for Hatanaka

JONAH SCOTT FRIEND OF DRAWFEE???

ok jonah cool and all but i have an actual opinion here. corey landis. the guy who voices welt in honkai star rail. i think he would fit hatanaka

Landon McDonald (Ranpo [BSD]) for Akira

too high pitched i think. takahashis voice gotta be low and sexy but also deranged (sanest takahashi liker)

consider: sean durrie (baizhu genshin)

Christopher Sabat (All Might [BNHA]) for The Principal

the characters this guy voices are all so gung ho the principal is more refined i'd like to think. and tired

have u considered. keith silverstein (zhongli genshin) (am i just typecasting yohaji chars to genshin chars at this point? perhaps)

now if i was a deranged person i would suggest the stanley parable narrator. thankfully i am a normal person so i would never say that

Kaiji Tang (Gojo [JJK]) for Karasuma

honestly? u know who would fit ranmaru? ranpos VA. landon mcdonald

Luci Christian (Uraraka [BNHA]) for Kuniko

ok going into this i already had an idea for kuniko. lilypichu. she would fit.

Alejandro Saab for Fuji

ah yes i see this guy on twitter all the time

my first thought was his voice is Too deep but then i heard his performance as miyamura and yeah i guess i can see it

Aaron Dismuke for Ogoso

idk i cant really see it but also idk what kind of voice would suit ogoso

and while we're on the topic of VAs anyway

kaeya's VA would totally fit ebisu

venti's voice but higher would fit mame

since jjk was mentioned: i always thought i could only recognise 1 jp VA (hiroshi kamiya, because araragi). i now know i actually know 2 because i was watching the new jjk and geto talked and i had to do a double take and still cant unhear reigen

the things i would do for amaaki to be voiced by hiroshi kamiya. i can only dream. or seimei but i think seimei is meant to have the same voice as haru. i think?

i have thought long and hard abt what harus eng voice should sound like. idk lol theres no genshin character i can typecast him onto. but i think max mittelman could do it too this man has sold me on him forever with his performance as itto i believe he has the range to do anything

tbh im like the worst person to discuss anime VAs with LOL the types of voicework i like is like. stanley parable narrator. superliminal glenn pierce. the beginners guide davey. getting over it monologue. (....honkai star rail welt)

[ac-liveblogs]

did you hear about the news with ayato? alot of fans are upset cuz it was discovered eng localization botched translation and was made so eng ayato's tone was different from cn's. iirc he's a lot more nicer in the cn version than in eng. while i agree localization should've done better and not have another xiao situation where the va's tone is off, i also wish ayato actually had a mean streak or was a "spoiled rich boy" as some people described him. it would've kept him a little interesting!

It's def interesting, because while localisations taking liberties can and has destroyed the tone of certain plots or characters (Fire Emblem, for example, or hell - Kaeya and Diluc, or Klee's Albedo-gege > Mr Albedo, which is MUCH more formal) to me it seems like ENG is desperately trying to make these bland cardboard characters at least a LITTLE interesting. It's got to get frustrating when every single character you've sold so far has been a Nice Person who does Good Things (even the villain!)... even when those characters SHOULD read as morally grey or outright villainous. It reminds me of the discourse from the Liyue chapter regarding Childe's dialogue when Osial was summoned... CN had him express concern for civilians, while ENG just had him outright not give a shit.

Which makes sense, right, the dude summoned A GOD to attack Liyue and he's an established battle maniac that Craves Violence, so he clearly can't be THAT concerned about casualities, right? He works for the FATUI, and they're screwing countries over for the hell of it, so like. Would he REALLY care that much? Isn't he a more fun villain if he doesn't? I'm usually quite annoyed at the attempt to downplay the actions of villains to make them more palatable (and if anyone tries to tell me my problematic faves Weren't That Bad I will launch myself at them hissing and scratching) so I think this is probably a change for the better from a characterisation perspective, but I also understand the frustration of those that want an accurate translation so as to experience the creators' actual intentions...

I think in Xiao's case, if he'd been translated more faithfully the western audience might have labelled him an angsty sad boy, and it's not like we don't already have the sad noble immortal niche filled by Zhongli. Making Xiao more caustic makes a certain amount of sense when you consider how antisocial he is and puts him in greater contrast to Zhongli. Why have TWO plain sad immortals when you could have a sad immortal and a sad, GRUMPY immortal? From the perspective of people trying to sell products in competition with other gachas that have a wider range of personalities in their casts, the decision seems clear enough...

On that note, Ayato's VERY mild mean streak was the most interesting thing about him, so go figure it wasn't in the original script. I genuinely don't think HYV is capable of writing endearing mean characters. Not that it matters - Genshin's audience seems pretty unreceptive to them. I heard people complaining that YAE was too mean. YAE, who is a solid lemon and herbs on the Nandos Spicy Chicken scale!

anyway eng translation you make some dumb decisions but i do feel bad for you in this regard. thank you for not making ayato an ayaka clone.

Aether as a boyfriend by anon 🧸

Protective

Fun(ny) dorky humor

Spurt of moment dates. " I saw a cool new acarde. Check it out with me?"

Like pocky said, he will NOT leave the house if you don't give him his kisses good bye a d good day.

Let's you style his hair. Add flowers, vines, flowers crowns. He doesn't care!

BLUSHING! BLUSHING! BLUSHING!

Will throw hands over you." Don't touch her, you creep! I'll end you!"

Random protag screaming~ How he let's out steam. He'll tell you to join if you're upset. Just yelling at nothing together until you both laugh.

Let. Him. Carry. You. Aether loves having you in his arms and he also likes for you to fawn over his muscles. You:* barely trips over their own feet but stops the fall* Aether: * lifts you up* You're so clumsy. Since, it isn't safe for you to walk around. Your handsome boyfriend will have to carry you. You: But Aether I didn't- Aether: shhhhh~ I've got you.♡

He be jealous sometimes...👉👈 " I don't like the way that guy is smiling at you. He keeps checking you out,too." >.< angry boyo flexes his muscles.

Late night dates a d by late night I mean 2am maybe...he's sorry. He's busy but he can't stay away from. So, he'll sometimes show up to your house at crazy hours wanting cuddles and to hear your voice.

Aether will get sad about Lumine randomly. Please hug him and tell Aether he'll find her. Those words help him not to give up on his search.

If we're talking a dif au when Lumine isn't lost? He'll tell her about you all day. Lumine is annoyed at this man. Aether: "Lumine, y/n told me this joke tha-" Lumine: Aether! Shut up! This is the third hour of non stop talking from you. Jeez."

Disney/Nickelodeon fan! Have fun staying having disney marathons and watching spongebob together.

Will sing to you. I'm sure you've heard his smooth deep eng voice. Even while his voice is low, he still has that happy, cheerful feel that makes you smile when he says anything to you. ( I personally love his eng va I'm biased here)

Likes to workout and will say stupid things like "Gains" as he flexes. Stop him and this fucboi energy

Loves taking pictures with you. Would totally have one of those photos of you holding his hand in a ferris wheel. Has everyone asking "Who's hand you holding, Aether?"

Hugs kithes hug kithes hug kithes high kithes all day. He's so affectionate.

Wants to adopt a puppy with you or any animal really. Aether seems like a puppy person in my eyes. Aether:*looks through pet window* "Awww, it's so cute. Look at our son...or daughter..doesn't matter. Let's adopt them."

He likes to spoon you. Don't call him out he'll blush like crazy. Aether loves when you go to him for anything you need. He just feels so cool and manly.

Aether gives you pecks a lot. Or sometimes keeps you captive with his love. Holding and showering you in kisses until he knows you feel absolutely loved.

This is my gift to you! Star! Hope you feel better with Aether affection.
