Funnimation finally annoucned the English VA for the Twin Star Exorcists anime. My name is Dragonlord and with this blog I'm going to discuss the cast and what my thoughts are on them and how I think they will do.

Bryce Papenbrook as Rokuro Enmado

Bryce Papenbrook has worked in many important roles in the past such as:

Meliodas from the Seven deadly sins

Eren Jaeger from Attack on Titan

Kirito from Sword art Online

and Rin Okumura from Blue Exorcist

I'm glad that Rokuro's VA seems to be a well known in the industry and has many important roles in the past and choose him for Rokuro who just like his previous roles is a protagonist of a shounen series so him as Rokuro is a safe choice while also could mean that he may not make him sound unique at the same time. I'm expecting alot from him since he looks like the man for the job but also I hope he will able to deliver when the time comes.

Cassandra Lee Morris as Benio Adashino

who has also voiced

Leafa from Sword art Online

Saki Mikajima from Durarara

and Ernesta Kuhne from Asterisk Wars are some of the well known roles I managed to found.

As I will mention later on I honestly think that she would fit better for Mayura instead of Benio. The reason I'm saying this is because her voice as I listen some her roles on YouTube seemed the type of the character that loves and cares about you like Mayura where Benio in the series is more of a fighting and determed person but I want to hope that she will do fine regardless

Laura Summer as Mayura Otomi

Now with this I will get start right off the bat and say I'm very dissapointed with that choice for Mayura because the only 'important' role she had was in digimom and with Ghostbusters and from what I heard I'm not very pleased for her doing Mayura a major character in the series and one that has her key moments in the anime. Very dissapointed and sad with that choice in my opinion.

Vic Mignogna as Yuto Ijika

Vic Mignogna is very well known English voice actor who has voiced popular characters such as:

Broly from the Dragon Ball series

Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist

Obito Uchiha(kid) and Nagato from Naruto

and Ikkaku Madarame from Bleach are some of his well known performances.

With this I'm very conficted because why I like his work and how he potrays the roles he is given to him I don't know if he can match to Yuto's character. I really want to give Vic a chance for this one because it will either be a big success since Yuto is ruthless and he has voiced Broly so that's a pass but Yuto is also nothing like Broly hopefully he will sound something like Obito because it will be sad to see the main antagonist voice to be a disaster.

Erica Lindbeck as Kohana

[ Furious 7] was for Paul, [the eighth film] is from Paul. But the thing that people really relate to the most is the characters. Film india subtitle indonesia. I think the thing that's made special is obviously we have incredible action and so on. We're trying to do what we always do, which is try to come at it from a character point of view and figure out where the characters would go from here.

Ok this is the most stupid of all the list for those who don't know Erica has done many importand roles in anime such as:

Kaori Miyazono from Your lie in April

Jericho from the Seven Deadly Sins

Eli Ayase from Love Live

and Ren Gyokuen from Magi

So why such a well known voice actor is given a role for a minor character such as Kohana that only gets few lines only in the first episode? This is a waste of a good talent that could have been used for other major female characters in the show like Miku,Sakura or Suzu the Basara but they decided to giver a role like that? That's is just awful to hear and when I saw the characters she played before I thought are they stupid ? why don't they give her a proper role? smh whatever

Todd Haberkorn as Ryogo Nagitsuji

This choice is ok in my book not to great not that bad so no major problems with that choice, Tobb has also given his voice to

Natsu from Fairy Tail

Allen Walker from D.Gray Man

Momo from Good Luck Girl!

and Judar from Magi

As we can see from his previous works he had quite the importand roles and him playing Ryogo a character that wants to help Rokuro and is a brother figure to him it's good that it is someone that seems that could possibly fit the role. But watching the roles he has done as a whole and the personalities he has done it would have been better to do a character who is more charesmatic like Kankuro or Tenma from the twelve guardians. But since he is taken the role of Ryogo I guess we can expect him to deliver his lines well.

Joey Lotsko as Kinako

Joey from what I seen in animenewsnetwork has mostly small roles when it comes to anime but he seems to have voiced Paul Hanbridge from My little witch Academia but he didn't get the credit for it. So him playing Kinako I'm honestly fine with it since Kinako in the anime tends to be annoying at times so who ever was to voice him couldn't make much change in my books. But giving Kinako to him who seems to know how to voice mostly side characters it's okay and I believe we will have no issues with him.

Alex Evette as Kinu Furusato

Now this actor accourding to animenewsnetwork is getting her deput in voice acting with Kinu so I can't have a picture of how Kinu will sound like. It's nice that to see a new actor is included in the dub but I'm also worried of how she will handle Kinu's role since she does appear in the 1st episode and talks quite a bit in the first couple of episodes and does explain Benio's backstory and introduces to the rest of the characters so she does have an important role for setting up Benio's character so I'm curious how she will perform.

Brian Beacock as Shinnosuke Kunizaki

Brian as a voice actor according to his previous roles seems to be know how to voice Shinnosuke since he is a supportive character in the series. Some of his well known roles are:

Yumichika Ayasegawa from Bleach

Renzo Shima from Blue Exorcist

Chojuro from the Naruto series

Walker Yumasaki from Durarara

Honestly when I saw that this guy voiced Renzo and Walker I'm confident to say that he will do great as Shinnosuke because just like those two Shinnosuke tends to share some of the character traits that they do have like teasing others while he seems to know when to take action and when to be retreat. So i look forward of how he will potray and voice Shinnosuke despite being a side character he has some moments after the time skip or when the group is just relaxing.

Kate Higgins as Subaru Mitejima

She has voiced Karin Kurosaki and Retsu Unohana from Bleach

Exorcists

C.C from Code Geass

and Sakura Haruno from Naruto

Now this for me is the second best choice from all the roles here. I'm really happy that the voice who did Retsu from Bleach is going to voice Subaru because both of them talk kinda the same calm way and i look forward of how she will perform for Subaru since she is helping both Rokuro and Benio in the anime to hook up along with Tatara in the start of the series while also she can be quite violent while having her calm and elegant voice just like Unohana. So I'm really excited for this role giving into Kate and I hope for the best.

Johnny Yong Bosch as Shimon Ikaruga

Twin Exorcist Dubbed

Now this is the one I'm the most excited to hear about. For those that don't know Johnny is mostly famous for the following roles:

Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach

Yukio Okumura from Blue Exorcist

Izaya Orihara from Durarara

and Lelouch Lamperouge from Code Geass

The man himself voicing Shimon and I'm glad that someone as well known voice actor is included in the cast of the Twin Star Exorcists. But while i'm glad that Jonny is voicing Shimon a character that sets an example for the other guardians along with Seigen in the beginning of the series and he is a major character that appears in many episodes along Rokuro and Benio so is good that someone like him is voicing Shimon.

My thoughts on the cast

Overall while we don't have the whole cast for all the characters yet. I like that well known voice actors are part of my favourite series but some of the choices of the directors are questionable and some terrible in my book. While I don't watch dub all that often I will watch this because it's twin stars but that doesn't save of how horrible or good this will be in my eyes. I want to be optimist and hope that this dub will turn out to be at least average so that many dub only watchers can enjoy and hopefully thus give the manga a chance in the future. Tell me what do you guys think in the comments below. See you next time
