Unlike Jamieson Price, who openly stated he would not return voice Sado "Chad" Yasutora because "he no longer auditions for PoCs," it sounded like Wendee Lee was excited to return to the role of Yoruichi for Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War.
Except she didn't. Someone else is voicing her now.
UPDATE: Apparently, it's now Anairis Quiñones voicing Yoruichi. You know, the girl that's quickly becoming known as a racist job-stealing diversity hire. Who got heavily called out because of what she said about the casting of Gundam: Witch from Mercury.
But it's OK for a freakin' nigger to voice Tyrannus, a Greek dude.
It'll only ever be one way that "is not okay." I hope Phil Lamarr got a lot of hypocrisy callouts when he opened his mouth as that Simpsons character ordeal happened.
Phil Lamar is yet another example of a seemingly well-adjusted black man turning into a frothing Marxist black supremacist at the drop of a fucking hat. Imagine being a white person who worked with him for years, never suspecting that he was a racist piece of shit the entire time.
What a shame. All that talent, all that incredible skill...and he becomes this.
Starting to see why Frank Welker, the greatest voice actor alive today, keeps his mouth shut and hates giving interviews.
A black guy voiced Kratos and it worked pretty well... wonder what these fucks think about that.
It's only ONE WAY. That's all these fucks care about.
Yet they claim it's okay to make Jet black in Shitflix Cowboy Bebop, because his English voice actor was black. Make it make sense.
Unconditional and unrestrained hatred of white people. It's that simple.
That's one of the few characters I wouldn't mind it, if acted right; and apparently that actor was probably the only thing about it that wasn't terrible.
And it's a reason I hate seeing shit like this, because you do it one way, I demand the other way as well, and we end up not getting amazing performances like Beau Billingslea as Jet. Fair is fair though.
Look, they were totally in the right to race swap the Native American and Jewish characters into Black and Asian. Don't question it, chud.
It is amusing though that the two big race swaps ended up being the only two actors who put in any effort and give a performance still worth some applause, even if the product they were acting in was too bad to live up to them.
there is always a reason you can come up with to screw over white people XD.. hehe
Lmao how is Janieson Price ever going to get work again. That's literally all he does.
He would have been much better off saying "voicing Chad is not worth the time for me anymore. He hardly appears, and hardly says anything when he does appear." And no one would doubt him on that. Chad's entire role could probably be done in a single four-hour voice-over session.
I learned Spanish and I may end up learning French for work. There is a part of me that wants to learn Japanese just for anime and manga in the original language but that would be a major commitment
I took two semesters of Japanese in college. No. Kanji is a bitch.
It really only works if one has the brain for it. I haven't had issues with Japanese or Chinese, as I learn better visually and they are visual languages compared to the abstraction of European alphabet-based ones.
The real hard part is remembering the pronunciations for every hanzi/kanji and the meanings of some kanji combinations. There could be only two ways to say something, or twelve. It's jarring depending on what you're wanting to convey.
Even though kanji is a bitch, you can still get by learning basic vocabulary and grammar - at least oyu'll be able to pick up spoken Japanese that way.
Thanks. Can you get by in an emergency at least?
I can still read hiragana and katakana. Unfortunately, I haven't held onto a good chunk of the vocabulary that isn't common.
The large number of homophones make is so stupidly complicated.
That’s what kanji are for. Kana on its own is much harder to read, and there are only a couple thousand commonly used kanji anyway.
It’s not impossible like this thread would have you believe.
Honestly, I tapped out before I got the Kanji just trying to understand grammar and sentence structures. It just was at such odds with my brain that I couldn't even crack into it.
Spoken Japanese isn't too difficult as the functional vocabulary for normal conversation is relatively small. Written Japanese, however, is arguably the most difficult written language, so manga in Japanese is a Mount Everest goal.
Thanks for the heads up. Guess I can still learn French for French comics
Is this only affecting the dub side as I'm fine to stay subbed and have Japanese VAs only.
The last dub I even considered watching was Tomo-chan and that's only because they had a VA doing both Japanese and English VA for a character I really liked.
Racial issues should never affect the Japanese side of things.
especially when they do this
Steins;Gate is the greatest anime that not enough people have seen.
There’s a great sci fi story there. I remember thinking, during the nonsense involving the maid cafe, that this would be a better series if it wasn’t so … anime.
That the story exists at all is enough for me to be grateful.
The original VN is on Switch, too, as are two spinoffs.
Plus, if you buy the VN, you get the NES backport for free. It's not just a retro-graphics version, it's an actual NES ROM that works in NES emulators.
That character is actually on my list as best trap of all anime.
I actually think the English dub captures the admiration and disappointment at the same time of 'I found feminine perfection but I'm not gay...'
So up next is the recasting of Bart Simpson, right? Since he's been voiced by a woman from day 1 or something. Same deal with the Jap version of Goku.
Right?
Fuck these dub goblins anyway.
