More Tales!

[eastofthemoon]

This is turning into an awesome time for Tales fans. I just read on AnimeNewsNetwork that Funimation is translating and bringing over the Tales of Vesperia: The First Strike movie.

SQUEE!

Unlike the Tales of the Abyss anime that's also being release, I know Funi will do a dub for this too. Man, I hope they bring back the original voice actors because that would just add to the awesome. (Unless say Yuri was voiced by Crispin Freeman, I could live with that. XD)

Nothing beats the Vesperia game's English cast, since it was amazing...but you know, I think I could live with Crispin Freeman as Yuri, too.

Have you seen the Vesperia movie yet?

I have seen bits and pieces of it, I have yet to actually sit down and watch the whole thing. But I know it's already awesome because of puppy Repede ^_^

Well, puppy Repede is adorable! XD The rest of it, hrm...you can decide. ^^;;

I never got to play Vesperia (I don't have a PS3). I should track down a good Lets Play on YouTube or something because it looks great and I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Luckily for the Vesperia fans, Funi is really good about keeping dub casts consistent.
Speaking of the Vesperia dub; I always thought it was really funny/ironic that the ONE time Yuri Lowenthal would have been perfect for the lead role was the ONE time a casting person stopped and said "hmmmm, this Lowenthal dude is all over the place. Maybe we should give someone else the lead role". LOL

You would enjoy the game, its probably one of the best Tales games out there. *laughs* Actually, according to Yuri Lowenthal at a con, this is what happened regarding this fact.

Head of Voice acting: I am SO SORRY.
Yuri: Why?
Head of Voice acting: Because you won't play the next Tales hero in Vesperia since you just played Luke.
Yuri: But, that's fine with me.
Head of Voice acting: No, you don't understand. The next hero's name is Yuri Lowell.
Yuri:..........

LOL. That's pretty funny.

Seriously, I like Yuri Lowenthal. He's a good actor and he seems like a cool dude. But the people casting him need to give him more varied roles because he always gets the same type of character and it gets a little aggravating when he's the lead in every other game I play and anime I watch. The only time I can remember him doing something different was in Paprika.
