Sands of Destruction English-Dubbed Trailer OR I RAGE in FUNimation's General Direction

FUNimation uploaded a Sands of Destruction Trailer on 11/20, so I watched it in hopes of sampling the dub.



Eh ... there was hardly any dialogue in the trailer, so I wasn't able to glean much. Well, save for the fact that I believe either Caitlin Glass or Colleen Clinkenbeard Luci Christian is playing Morte and Todd Haberkorn is playing Kyrie. Wait ... what? I didn't just type the name "Todd Haberkorn", did I? What the hell, I actually DID type that godforsaken name!


God damn it, FUNimation! You've cast Todd FREAKING Haberkorn in a lead role AGAIN? For the love of everything good ... WHY?

Seriously, FUNimation, you've just ruined what little hope I had for this dub. I'll still be buying this, but I'll be sticking with the subtitles. Maaya Sakamoto (Morte) and Mamoru Miyano (Kyrie) MADE this show for me -- made what would normally be a sub-average show positively delightful to watch. And here I was hoping the dub would at least come close to replicating that joy, but now FUNimation has gone squished said joy. Luci will probably be fine, but Haberkorn? No. No way in hell, FUNimation. Stop casting him as a prominent character in everything. I realize your talent pool is thin, but enough is enough. Todd's voice annoys me to no end. This and his terrible rendition of Death the Kid from Soul Eater were the last straw. Please, I am begging you, FUNimation: Just stop it already.

Haha, great post Matt. I laughed at the Great Teacher Onizuka pic you used. Anyway, you are absolutely right about Haberkorn. As you know very well, I am not exactly his biggest fan, so I find this to be a good read.

@animechannel1- where did JayGee ever state he hated English dubs? I think the only one who looks like an asshole here is you my friend.

Why, were you expecting Christ Sabat to do the voice of Kyrie? Seriously, will you children just please stop bitching about Funimation choosing their cast for their voices. Todd Haberkorn's got a great voice... and his voice usually fits the characters he plays as, and I can't think of a better voice for Death the Kid.

If you're that much of a bitch, either stop watching anime from Funimation or go over to Dallas and audition for the voices yourself.
