PokeNirvash Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Makes sense, he's a decent Vic soundalike and hasn't voiced anyone in the franchise already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) I mean of COURSE they chose someone else!!! What fuck all company would ever hire him again!?!? Now it IS news to me that there was even a spin-off manga about Rohan to begin with, let along an anime adaptation of it.

PokeNirvash Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 On another note, this is JoJo's first union dub, since noted union-only names Jessica DiCicco and Crispin Freeman are among the listed cast members. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rohan is a really special character to Araki, so of course he was going to get a spinoff at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I''ll be. I guess you can't tell if it's union just by the state it's recorded in, because all previous Jojo dubs were done chiefly in CA too.

They could never previously fathom it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 This puts the last nail in the coffin. I had argued with some goofs on Twitter that said since Viz never announced they weren't working with Vic anymore, he might still work for them, and could possibly appear in Demon Slayer (LOL.) (This of course ignores the fact that any studio could simply choose not to use Vic anymore, without making any public announcement. A smart move, actually, since it avoids them getting harassed by Vic's fans.) Well, that never happened, and now his last-voiced character has been recast. As we all know he also got blown the fuck out in his lawsuit. It's OVER. I also noticed, thanks to YouTube's lovely recommendations, that some of the terrible people on YouTube that were milking Vic for views are stanning for Gina Carano now. *SIGH* I had those channels set as not interested so I wouldn't see their videos come up, but I guess somehow me watching Star Wars videos (and like, 3, about her firing,) caused these fucktards' videos to resurface. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am particularly protective of anime, so them migrating over to Gina Carano isn't a big deal to me, even though i liked The Mandalorian.

Chapinator_X Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The good news is that he sounds like Vic so that it’s not a jarring change for fans of the dub. The bad news is that they’re still operating off the notion that Rohan needs to sound shrimpy and spooky. He’s a bitter asshole writer. A Robbie Daymond or Lucien Dodge type would’ve knocked it out of the park from jump street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmpressAngel Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I still think the guy who played Reigen in Mob Psycho would have been perfect but whelp, he got himself into his own hot water and sent to the shadow realm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just goes to show they never gave a shit about Vic or anime and were just using the whole situation for another proxy war in the stupid political culture war they like to use to gain clicks views and cash. I don't like when it happens to anime, Star Wars, or anything else I'm into. They need to shut the hell up already. Or at least stop trying to latch onto pop culture for their soapboxing. I can't stand those jackasses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
