The Bleach English Voice Actor Project (PC Edition)

[Jack O'Neill]

I basically got the title and the general idea for this thread from a similar one on Gaia Online (incontrovertible proof that intelligent life does exist there! XP). Big props to NamaeX for organizing the project in the first place.

As most of you are already aware, Bleach is coming to American television in September of this year; they're only starting to gather together the dub cast, and as such, there's still a whole lot of speculation over who's gonna play what role and so on.

It's a simple question, really: Which actors would be best for the English dub of Bleach, and what roles would those actors play?

All we know at this point is that Kate Higgins is gonna be Karin. Oh, and if Yuri Lowenthal doesn't get the role of Ishida, I'mma impale someone.

Selected Bleach Characters and Their Ideal English Voice Actors (abridged list)

Ichigo Kurosaki - Johnny Yong Bosch
Rukia Kuchiki - Kari Wahlgren
Yasutora Sado - Crispin Freeman
Orihime Inoue - Michelle Ruff
Uryu Ishida - Yuri Lowenthal
Kisuke Urahara - Steve Blum
Yoruichi Shihouin - Mary Elizabeth McGlynn
Gin Ichimaru - Skip Stellrecht
Retsu Unohana - Kate Higgins (buu on Karin! XD)
Sousuke Aizen - Dave Mallow
Byakuya Kuchiki - Kirk Thornton
Renji Abarai - Joshua Seth
Kaname Tousen - Beau Billingslea
Toushirou Hitsugaya - Dave Wittenberg
Rangiku Matsumoto - Wendee Lee
Kenpachi Zaraki - Richard Epcar
Yachiru Kusajishi - Philece Sampler
Ikkaku Madarame - Steve Staley

I think that Johnny Yong Bosch would be an awesome voice for Ichigo. Black Ranger Power xD.

The only other person I know on your list is Joshua Seth from Digimon, and I think that would be a good voice in the show.

Brain Drummond and Steven J Blum can do some awesome voices as well...I can see them being on there...
and Maggie Blue O'Hara does alot of good VA work as well. Although she isn't as well known as some of the others.

Wait.... Stevens already on there. xD Woohoo!

All in all, that list is pretty awesome.
Although, watch none of those characters have the chosen VAs when the dub actually does air... T-T

 

[Lucy Lu]

Uryu Ishida - Yuri Lowenthal
Kisuke Urahara - Steve Blum

Oh wow, now those guys will be perfect for Ishida and Urahara. It will make perfect sense because the VA who does Ishida also does the voiceover of Sasuke in Naruto. And Yuri does the voice of Sasuke the dub version. So I hope he will be Ishida. A perfect match I say.

And Steve Blum as Urahara, he can pull it off. ^^

I can't wait til September 9th!
