I'll admit, the first episode in english I wasn't really sure, she seemed a bit off in tone, especially with how expressive her VA in japanese is. But wow, she now totally owns her character, her voice acting seems much more natural now and really capturing how expressive, hesitant, and passionate marcille is, so great to see her grow!! This is becoming easily one of my favorite anime, the humor, the action, the mystery, the sense of adventure is really inspiring!
its very different from what im used to because ive previously only watched it with subtitles, but the english voice actors are definitely very skilled even if it's not exactly the same
She’s doing voice work?! That’s awesome! Calling it right now: Emily Rudd is going to voice Lillith Vegapunk once the One Piece English dub reaches Egghead!
One reason why the English dub is so good is that they're not trying to make it exactly like the original, they're matching the vibe more than the words.
I like the English dub more because it's felt more like the fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons. Perfect for anybody that likes Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter with their weird food.
Yeah I watched the dub because I'd seen clips of Sung Won Cho as Senshi, but Rudd is a pleasant surprise. It's a character type that could very easily go wrong but she works.
I've only known Marcille for one episode, and I already have her as best girl. Especially 3:39. Don't know Emily Rudd well, but I feel like she does the "only sane" elf woman justice IMO.
Both the JP & EN VA's do an excellent job of portraying Marcelle and matching each others' energy. You don't see that often in anime. I'm happy this is one of those more uncommon examples.
Emily does a really good job by voicing Marcille ! Compared to Sayaka Senbongi's Marcille, the former' make the said character more mature but still fitting. Sub & Dub are well done, I'm on the sub personally. I had so much fun hearing Sayaka and think she may have another great role.
Emily's the reason why I watched the english dub instead of the original japanese. Her being such a fan of anime clearly has helped in how she's voiced the character. It'll never be the same as in japanese, but that's what the japanese version is for.
People are saying Emily is a good VA and honestly, she sounds better than a lot of anime dub voice actors I've heard lately. Not all but a lot of anime just haven't had good dubs or just the occasional voice actor who carries the entire thing. Bryce Papenbrook for example was not a good fit for Eren until season 4 when he could use is normal voice whilst both of Sasha's actors were perfect. Then you have Beastars who has a great dub cast.
Hmm if it's in dub that's more to recent or few years ago, that I like and imo has good casts, are: 86 Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Cyberpunk Edgerunners Great Pretender Black Clover Apothecary Diaries Vinland Saga(Netflix ver) Trigun Stampede Spy x Family Chainsaw Man Dragonball Pompo: The Cinéphile Delicious In Dungeon Solo Leveling
Hi! Voice actor for Crunchyroll here. I think that's not true. All my fellow VA friends are extremely talented but we don't always get a say in what we want to do. Some dubs are held and run from a business standpoint rather than creative. Even the directors are only allowed to do so much but ultimately, they're still cast because they were the best fit for the roll. Most of the time though, we don't see the script until the day we go in. People like Bryce were made for that roll from day one. We aren't trying to match the JP. We're making it our own thing. That way, if you prefer one over the other, you can go either route and enjoy what you enjoy. The industry was drastically different 10 years ago and even different just 2 years ago. We're always giving it our all though.
@@user-jg555kjl because female voice actors in Japan do a higher pitched voice to please the Japanese audience. Voice actors are probably of similar age, but Japan often favours higher pitched voices to please otaku.
Y'know what? I like how natural the reactions come across in the dub. They sound more like normal people and less like "anime characters", if that makes sense, especially Marcille. Yep, I think I'm sticking with the dub on this one!
More naturalistic voice acting can clash a bit with over-the-top animation, but this series is pretty grounded so it works OK. I do think I prefer the Japanese version, but the English dub seems decent.
I completely agree! I’ve only ever like english dub on Sailor Moon (unironically, becuz it’s very funny), but lately with Frieren and now Dungeon Meshi, the dub is just sublime! 🤩
contrary to what everyone thinks, i think emily made her feel like an actual person speaking. these days im starting to understand why hayao miyazaki tend to choose actors instead of VAs to voice his movies
Yeah, it feels amazing and refreshing to hear the fictional characters talk like...how people would talk in real life and not be overly-acted. It's just the balance of wackiness and realism that makes it **chef's kiss**
Only one episode in and I can tell I am going to love the series. I gave both sub and dub a chance. They were both really good. Idk bout yall, but I'm going to give it to dub on this one. XD
that's because you're not used to it. She sounds just natural to me. For me, Japanese VAs always sound very staged, but I'm sure you won't feel the same way
The dub for this anime is honestly pretty good and has it's own unique funny moments (Mushroom foot sniffer... 🤣), but I still think the Japanese dub w/ subs edges it out as the better one **overall**, but I will say I definitely wouldn't mind watching this anime in English dub.
wow I actually like her more in english, I'm kinda tired of the usual anime humour of "screaming insufferable girl" which worked great in konosuba but I prefer the more chill english dub.
Her hesitance reminds me so much of that Spongebob episode where they're all eating the food from the sky and Squidward's over in his camp trying to cook a bug. _Though I guess kind of the other way around, but the bug IS slimy yet satisfying!_
