Oh hell no. Adult Lelouch sounds like "Jonny Yong Bosch as Lelouch!"

I'm usually pretty easygoing about English dub actors, but I've gotten a bit irritated lately with the whole "take a sexy male lead character's voice and make it into a higher-pitched high school student voice--'cause . . . he's in high school, ya know?" thing. (Can anyone say Light?)

Half of Lelouch's charm is his ability to portray himself as someone much older than he is--and the way he does that is with his low voice. It seems that BANDAI is following the trend of using high-school-sounding dub VAs, darnit. I'm not convinced that JYB can pull this one off. I'm afraid he'll end up sounding like Ichigo.

Not all the blame can fall on Bandai. The Japanese production team had a hand in picking out the English cast. =/
