Matt Mercer is very good. He made Levi and that purple lighted penis teacher better than expected. Why the hell was he that government official working with Kirito though...

Mercer had a lot of roles on SAO. At least four according to Wiki.
He was also Tygra in the ThunderCats reboot. Remember when that was on Toonami?

 

[Moaradin]

He's also Yamato in Naruto and Kanji in Persona 4. Replacing Troy Baker in both roles.

I imagine if they make a new Soul Eater anime, he would be playing Excalibur as well.
Troy is "too good" for weeb stuff now. Peh.

It's not that he's too good for anime, it's just that no dubbing company can afford to pay the salary he commands now.

I'm going to haul his ass back to the recording studio so he can reprise pyrrhon in uprising 2

Just need to pry sakurai away from smash

 

[Line_HTX]

Yeah, pretty much. Troy is now full video game MLG voice. I mean, lead character for The Last of Us and Advanced Warfare has to pay well. He's definitely too good for anime now.

At least he was cool as Snow in XIII.

 

[Seda]

I remember looking up Matt Mercer when playing Star Ocean: The Last Hope (he voices EDGE MAVERICK) when it released. He was a VA nobody at the time.

 

[grandjedi6]

Steve Blum --> Nolan North --> Troy Baker --> Matthew Mercer


The cycle continues!

 

[Moaradin]

I imagine his biggest role at the time was Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 4.

That's Paul Mercier.
Matthew Mercer didn't become the voice of Leon until RE6.

I had no idea they were different people

No word on dubs/simuldubs. Also HAHAHAHAH PRISON SCHOOL I CANNOT WAIT.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

well fuckkkk, they got Prison School.

There's 2 more shows to be announced btw.

DUN DUN DUN

Spoiler

what if Toei says no to a DBS broadcast dub lol

 

[Puruzi]

Bummed that they got a bunch of shows I wanted to watch, but as long as they don't get Gatchaman S2 i'll live.

 

[Shard]

Funimation is just something the North American fan just has to deal with.

 

[BassForever]

They have 2 ??s left so assuming one is Dragon Ball Super what other show could they be holding back an announcement for that's even close to DBS in terms of keeping it a secret? Only thing left on the board with any kind of real draw is God Eater and that's debatable.

Edit: NVM God Eater is apparently Aniplex of America so that's out

 

[Zonic]

No, God Eater is Namco, silly. They'll dub it under the Bandai brand.

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

ive never heard of any of these

 

[Grexeno]

Well, Hetalia is the one where World War II nations are bishounen pretty boys so I think you do know that one.

I'd figured everyone on the Internet would have run into that one, willing or not.

 

[Zonic]

It's this:

It's the new Inuyasha, to which it's the only damn show female anime fans tend to talk about.

Ninja Slayer is Trigger's current anime. It's about a guy who slays ninjas.

 

[Seda]

anime is weird

 

[Man God]

[Moaradin]

Gangsta is the only one I previously planned to watch. Most of those I've never heard of. DB Super is obviously one of them. Not sure what else is big enough to save though.

Overlord too I guess. I'll watch it because Madhouse.

Wait when did Hetalia introduce female characters? I only watched like half of season 1

 

[Zonic]

Hell if I know. I think I watched part of the first episode & gave up because PAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTAAAAAAA UUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH

Also I'm guessing Bikini Warriors is about....I'll say boxing walruses.

 

[Cornbread78]

ive never heard of any of these

Gangsta and Prison school are your highlights here. Prison School will be ban material for gif posters, lol.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I thought Hetalia was decently popular in the west

With girls anyway

 

[Grexeno]

Also I'm guessing Bikini Warriors is about....I'll say boxing walruses.

If there ever was a show where you know literally everything about it just from the title alone, I would have to say it would be Bikini Warriors.

 

[Line_HTX]

A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist.

AKA...

NO FUN ALLOWED!!

One week ban bet that Funimation will dub or market this one the fastest, based on the recent dub clips on their YouTube channel. Who's in? =D

 

[BassForever]

Hell if I know. I think I watched part of the first episode & gave up because PAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTAAAAAAA UUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH

Set in a an RPG-style world with swords and magic where adventurers form a party to challenge the demon king's right to rule, adventurers all have beautiful breasts, enormous breasts, and bikini armor!!

So close enough

 

[Grexeno]

So close enough

Oh, it's the porno version of Log Horizon then.

 

[BassForever]

I thought Hetalia was decently popular in the west

I liked what I saw of it, I'm generally not much of a comedy fan but it did make me laugh/smile. I'm also a big fan of WW2 so I enjoyed seeing all the major countries anime/bishi'd

 

[Man God]

Seda probably knows prison school from the breasts are fake asses jpeg.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Bikini Warriors just sounds like Dragon Quest jokes with tits for 3 minutes the show

 

[Zonic]

So close enough

Oh so it's Dragon's Crown: The Anime: Starring the Amazonian!!

If there ever was a show where you know literally everything about it just from the title alone, I would have to say it would be Bikini Warriors.

Maybe it's the Japanese name for an anime version of Baywatch?

Gangsta and Prison school are your highlights here. Prison School will be ban material for gif posters, lol.

OH GOD, I JUST REALIZED. WE MIGHT GET TO SEE THIS ANIMATED!

IMAGINE IF WE GOT THAT SCENE DUBBED!!!

 

[Line_HTX]

The composer of Gangsta is Tsutchie, and I really hope there's 90s hip hop beats like how he did it in Samurai Champloo. I saw the trailer and it was nothing but shitstep. There better no be any shitstep in this. =/

 

[Grexeno]

IMAGINE IF WE GOT THAT SCENE DUBBED!!!

Please be JYB please be JYB please be JYB

 

[Zonic]

Please be JYB please be JYB please be JYB

I just imagined this & couldn't help but laugh. PLEASE let this happen.

 

[Line_HTX]

Man, does everyone want JYB to do the creepy things nowadays? I miss his old roles where he didn't have to go at a higher pitch. Yukio comes to mind haha.

 

[Seda]

well JYB's voice is naturally creepy so

 

[Crocodile]

I'm looking forward to Gangsta and Prison School (get hype!)

I'll probably a check out some of the other shows

Hell if I know. I think I watched part of the first episode & gave up because PAAAAASSSSSSSTTTTTTTAAAAAAA UUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHH

Also I'm guessing Bikini Warriors is about....I'll say boxing walruses.

I'm sure there is a way to make a show like that trashy but fun. Like Red Sonja: The Animation or something of the sort. I don't expect this show to rise to even a quarter of that level though

 

[Line_HTX]

well JYB's voice is naturally creepy so

Ichigo, Vash, and Lelouch are creepy?

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

I'm sure there is a way to make a show like that trashy but fun. Like Red Sonja: The Animation or something of the sort. I don't expect this show to rise to even a quarter of that level though

It's shorts, so why not.

I usually give everything a try and then quickly realize it was a bad idea and drop 75% of them, i'm probably not breaking that tradition this season

 

[Man God]

JYB's secret creepiest role is as Vash.

 

[TheChits]

PRISON SCHOOL YAAAAAASSSSSSSSS

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Funimation has won the Summer Season. Sorry, Crunchyroll.
