Idk who any of these people are.

[ninjaemotime.livejournal.com]

not sure if want.....johnny bosch doesn't equal lelouche in my mind...yuri lowenthall seems a better choice...but who am i to say? I guess I just have to watch and see.

[haiiro.livejournal.com]

Somehow...I just knew Crispin was gonna be Jeremiah. XDD It fits so nicely.

[qbnoyouko.livejournal.com]

Haha, I think we all did. Back when it was just the major character voices revealed, I bet Crispin would be chosen for Jeremiah. There's just no other possibility. ;D

Johnny Yong Bosch, Yuri Lowenthal, and Crispin Freeman? I'M IN LOVE! I see Travis Willingham too! God, this cast is a hell lot better than Gurren Lagann's. ♥

[everluxxe.livejournal.com]

Lulu= the black power ranger? :D
The only other VAs I can recognize are the ones playing C.C., Karen, Euphemia (Michelle Ruff's ultra-talented) and Jeremiah(!). Crispin Freeman has such a hot voice *spazzes*

[oryhara-emo.livejournal.com]

Johnny Bosch... I don't like as Lulu.
I think he should have switched with Yuri.

Steven Blum (duh), Liam O'Brien (Red XIII one liner) , Jamieson Price (Jelly Jiggler LOL),
are awesome choices.

The VA for Nina seems familiar, and familiar means something dot.hack because I watched those credits over hundreds of times.

The Terror of Death is still in ur fandoms, PKK-ing ur d00ds *shot*

Yay Crispin Freeman! Obviously this will be something worth checking out if he's in it as Orange. =w= All Hail Britannia~!!

[swish-swish.livejournal.com]

WHAT. WHAT. Johnny Bosch as Lelouch!? idk Johnny Bosch doesn't sound too evil/arrogant enough. And Crispin Freeman as Orange-kun?

[yedijoda.livejournal.com]

My thought exactly. They need to switch those two.

[bolshevists.livejournal.com]

Hell yes, Kirk Thornton.

[ryoku-chan.livejournal.com]

Not to happy with the star performers, but Crispin Freeman as Orange = <3333

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Liam O'Brien will do as Lloyd...

[birdboy.livejournal.com]

RIVALZ: Brian Beacock = ♥ (Atleast I enjoyed his voice when he was Takato in Digimon Tamers) Somehow I'm sure it'll fit nicely :3

[ryans-cupcake.livejournal.com]

Crispy as Orange. I found this out awhile ago.
But oh god that is so awesome.

[interstellar.livejournal.com]

Crispin Freeman, sweet! ♥ That's awesome. Looks like a pretty good cast list, overall.

[x-reggg.livejournal.com]

the guy everyone hates isn't here :D yay!

[chickee1.livejournal.com]

Who's that? Vic?

[breepants.livejournal.com]

I heard about Crispin Freeman a while back. I met both Johnny Yong Bosch and Crispin Freeman at AX. JYB would be a better Suzaku, IMO. Crispin Freeman can do anything. I <3 him to death.

I am familiar with Liam O'Brien due to the Persona 3 video game. He should do alright.

[priestess-kaiba.livejournal.com]

Some of my favorite VAs are listed so I can't wait to see the dub! A big hell yeahs for Yuri being in the cast! :D

[austere-flare.livejournal.com]

Crispin Freeman as Jeremiah? I APPROVE. I fell in love with Crispin's voice the moment I heard him as Haji in Blood+ and Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. He may not be one of the stars but HE'S THERE.

I can't imagine Johnny Yong Bosch doing Lelouch though...at least, not yet. I mean, when I think of him, I think of Vash the Stampede. XD But Johnny's done a role sort of like a watered-down Lelouch in GUN×SWORD (Michael)...still, Lelouch is still someone different. XD

I often hear Liam O'Brien do serious men; I'd love to hear his take on Lloyd. And Michelle Ruff's take on Euphemia. Damn, Travis Willingham's in here too! And...and...wow, this is one interesting cast list (even though there are quite a few names I'm not too familiar with). I can't wait to hear what they've done with the characters.

[kairoxmyworld.livejournal.com]

....what about terrorist a????? lmaoooooo

[qbnoyouko.livejournal.com]

Let's be honest. Nobody gives a flying Geass about Terrorist A, ww.

[rainbow-cnxn.livejournal.com]

I've only heard Crispin Freeman as Kyon, and I can't imagine that voice translating well to Orange-kun. Oh well, wait and see, I guess.

[kagu-chan.livejournal.com]

For a sample of his more batshit crazy voice, here. ♥

I hate Crispin Freeman, and i don't like Johnny Bosch that much either, but than it's not like i'll be listening to this in English anyway, specially with this cast. :/

DIETHARD: Jamieson Price <-- this works... Nakata Jouji... they both have deep voices. ^^ (thank god this wasn't Crispin too. x_x)

OHGI: Kirk Thornton... is this Ougi?
RIVALZ: Brian Beacock.. played Takato in Tamers, so i guess that could work...


And like I said on another entry related to the English cast... No one else can be Lelouch! which is why i got the comment that we should teach FukuJun English. XD Although if he spoke English as fast as he speaks Japanese.... @_@

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

LOL I AGREE, TEACH JUNJUN ENGLISH DAMNIT XD

[tenshi789.livejournal.com]

I know no dubbers D: this is what I get from downloading anime too much.

Hopefully they'll be good though ^_^

[thomasvye.livejournal.com]

:) I have no idea who any of these people are, which is a great relief to me.

(If they're the same group these dubbing companies seem to always use, I expect they'll be as bad as usual).

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Haha, the only one I know well (besides Johnny, who's in like, everything XD) is Travis Willingham. :D He plays the English voice of Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist and he does a DAMN good job of it. <3

[xamiyax.livejournal.com]

Oh dear...I don't know any of those people...*suddenly realize I watch almost none dubbed anime*

[firebird-88.livejournal.com]

Haha the problem w/ Johnny is that he sounds really young and well, not-Lulu-like. (The one line I heard from him doing Lulu sounds good though buuuuut we'll have to see.) He did Nero from Devil May Cry 4, Ichigo from Bleach and Vash from Trigun. (English versions, of course.) His Vash laugh is scary good. Oo;

And I need to tell you about Travis Willingham! XD He's the English voice of Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist. Oh god, do I love that man. <3

Crispin Freeman? Sweet.

Michelle Ruff eee ♥
