NEWS: Oh! My Goddess Cast Unchanged

Yes, it is very good news. Inoue Kikuko as Belldandy, one of my most favorite seiyuu's.

I wish this were the same for the english dubs as well. Some day the US distributors will realise that continuity matters.

Funimation realized that, as they used the same english voice actors for Tenchi Muyo GXP that Pioneer used for the Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVA's

So, on that same note, when FUNimation releases the 3rd Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OVA, they should be using the same english voice actors.

I read from somewhere else, that they did get the VA's It may have been on this website or AoD.

Unfortunately, we may not hear the same english VAs from AnimEigo's OMG OAVs. Coastal Studios, which did the dubbing for OMG, disbanded just awhile ago.

But there's still hope that the ADV cast would dub this.

As for "continuity", just remember that the You're Under Arrest cast from AnimEigo and ADV was the same.

As for that reference of mine, you'll have to google it (also through googling, it appears that Pioneer already has the rights to the TV series)

That would be Geneon now. Dub studios might come and go but the actors still exist, if they still live and work as VAs. with a bit of effort they could be persuaded to reprise their roles again. OVA that is. As for Tenchi GXP Original VA's for Ep-17 the confirmed report is that FUNi didn't get them and used new actors. Until someone can show me otherwise I don't hold much hope for the third OVA either.

Well, in comparison, the FUNimation new voices are at the same time better and worse than the original Pioneer cast.

Here's the rundown.

Ryoko - poorly cast. Completely lacking the alluring temptress voice of the original. Sultry womanhood replaced by a vapid teeny-bopper.

Ayeka - barely better than Ryoko. The affected British accent is very odd for the character, if not flat out wrong, but the softer less nasal tone is closer to the original than Jennifer Darling.

Mihoshi - completely tolerable as she's voiced by Rebecca Forstadt, Ellen Gerstel's backup during the Pioneer dubbing who was the voice of Mihoshi in the 3rd movie.

Sasami - well, about dead even. Generic little girl's voice from Pioneer, Generic little girl's voice from FUNimation.

Tenchi - honestly, Tenchi's character is so different in GXP that it's hard to say. Somehow, the new VA, Chris Kent, brings the new and improved decisive, skilled, and confident (dare I say, mature?) Tenchi to life in a way Matt K. Miller really didn't do well in the 3rd Movie.

Washu - she has the biggest role, and well, it seems that Jessica Gee plays more of a stereotype of K.T. Vogt's Washu than to a close approximation of the Japanese Washu. Not bad, but not particularly thrilling either.

So, there you have it. Take from that what you will.
