Soul Eater English Cast
The North American anime distributor FUNimation Entertainment has announced that it has acquired Takuya Igarashi and BONES' ongoing anime adaptation of Atsushi Ohkubo's Soul Eater supernatural action manga. The story begins at the Shinigami Weapons Specialist Vocational School, a university run by Death himself for living weapons and their human partners. One of the student weapons specialists, the human Maka Alban, is paired with Soul Eater, a boyish figure whose true form is a scythe. Maka, Soul, and the rest of their class learn how to collect souls while plying their arts against the witches, werewolves, and zombies of the world. A trailer is available on the official North American website. -Animenewsnetwork
As stated by the previous paragraph Funimation got the rights to the anime "Soul Eater". Later they released the cast for the english dub (Voices are in english) every tuesday. The cast is:
Brittney Karbowski as Black Star
Laura Bailey as Maka Albarn
Micah Solusod as Soul Eater Evans
Todd Haberkorn as Death the Kid
Cherami Leigh as Patty Thompson
Chuck Huber as Dr. Franken Stein
Jamie Marchi as Liz Thompson
John Swasey as Lord Death
Monica Rial as Tsubaki Nakatsukasa
Sonny Strait as Ragnarok
Vic Mignogna as Spirit
Truth be told I'm very upset that Johnny Yong Bosch isn't soul, in the trailer it so sounded like him but in the end it ended up being some guy I've never heard of. In fact most of the cast are brand new to Funimation. Of course its got some well known names such as Vic Mignogna (Fai, Edward Elric, Tamaki Suou) and Todd Hakerkorn (Allen Walker, Watanuki, Hikaru Hitachiin) who are famous in their own right. I just really wish Johnny Yong Bosch was in it due to the fact that he is an amazing voice actor. Did you know that he is the voice of Nero in "Devil May Cry 4" and also did the motion sensor work for it as well. Other than that I hope the English dub turns out okay. If not, me and other fans will be very disappointed.
