1. EVERYONE at FUNimation was involved in the dubbing process of Full Metal Alchemist. So, saying that Ouran's dub was just a re-casting of the FMA crew, is ridiculous - as everyone was involved in FMA.
&
2. Vic didn't get the part as Tamaki simply because of the fangirls. He auditioned. Just like the others who tried out for the part. (I saw another comment that said otherwise, so I just thought I'd clear that up).
i really do hate people that cant keep thier opinons to themselves...it really tics me off. i think the dubbing is great and the only reason why they messed with the theme songs cause they needed to save money!!!! vic was great in all of the dubs he been in and so is caitlin so back off okay!!
Talk to someone who actually cares!!!Also if you were really a dub lover you wouldnt care about the voices!!!....jeeez... whatever!!! yall should be greatful and for once stop gripig and complaining how the dub sucks so bad because they could one day banned anime frome america so for god sake lay off thier doin thier best they can....*stomps off*HMPH!!!
well, since i haven't heard it (is it possible to watch in on youtube yet,since i have no moneys, i can't buy it until i do) i can't fully say that i dislike it, but, from looking at the cast, sadly, i think you're right.
as a huge fan of dub myself, i find it very sad that funi did go back and cast similar members for this anime, since i've loved ouran since it practically debuted in america. (tho i will say u immediately get top props in my book since Yu Yu Hakusho is my favorite anime/manga of all time, and ppl refuse to listen to me when i say it has a wonderful dub). i really wish VIZ had taken control of it, they usually don't go for simply the mainstream voice actors, which i have nothing against, but just as u've put it, the entire cast from fma was there (but, then again, the entire YYH cast was in fruits baskets, but then again, we all know how that turned out...but not as bad as card captors...) so ur right, it makes me a little angry.
yah, i thought caitlen glass would've done a good renge, not a haruhi. and surprisingly (tho i didn't think about this before) john burgemeir would've made a nice tamaki. a very nice one....(curse u funi!)
well, i'll have to go see for myself, but at least u sound creditable, and aren't just babbling nonsense (like myself), so i'll take ur word on it for now.
Admittedly I don't like the voices of the Ouran Dub so I do have to agree with you on a lot of points. I'll just stick to the sub I suppose. Though Hikaru and Kaoru's voices were quite different, they never sounded the same in the sub or the dub. I thought Haruhi's voice needed to be more ambiguous and the twins voices drove me up the wall >_< The opening and ending was perfect though so they definitely shouldn't have changed them. Though I haven't heard the new ones, since I only watched a video clip (so I haven't heard all the voices either, I just didn't like the ones I did hear).
Though there are a fair few good dubs out there, even if admittedly I tend to prefer the subs. I agree with you there, I like to hear both.
Personally? I thought Caitlin pulled off the "guy" voice a frillion times more than Maaya Sakamoto did. Sakamoto's seriously sounded like...a girl! And honestly, it bothered me how much Caitlin's was boyish, but logic came into play and it stopped bothering me.
And ditto the comment about the price. We got off cheap, considering a disc normally runs around $30 MSRP.
You make good points in your essay but I need to correct you on a few things this is not Caitlin Glass first ADR Directing job. In the Japanese Hikaru and Kaoru were voice by two different voice actors. Vic was Tamaki because fangirls were screaming for it and if FUNimation did not deliver it would have been ugly. Also if FUNimation release 4 episodes per dvd for $26 with 6 volumes it would have been $156 but with 2 volumes $60 but at Amazon its only $50 you can get the whole series for $120-$100. Also the reason Yu Yu Hakusho was cheap its was because it’s a older series. But all in all I think you did a far review but you were a bit mean but then again they are your opinion and I totally understand your feeling opinion.

Would just like to point out two things:
1. EVERYONE at FUNimation was involved in the dubbing process of Full Metal Alchemist. So, saying that Ouran's dub was just a re-casting of the FMA crew, is ridiculous - as everyone was involved in FMA.

2. Vic didn't get the part as Tamaki simply because of the fangirls. He auditioned. Just like the others who tried out for the part. (I saw another comment that said otherwise, so I just thought I'd clear that up).
