Dang, they are using a female VA for Aladdin
 The majority of the time I don't like how it sounds when a woman voices a male character. Aladdin's apparent age is pretty young though which makes it better.

I don't see Bryce Papenbrook, Christine Marie Cabanos, or Darrel Guilbeau's names anywhere.
This pleases me.

Um, that's pretty much an animation standard. And it happened in Japanese too. Alot. They did it in the days of Rocky & Bullwinkle, they do it in the Simpsons and King of the Hill (both of which are longrunners) . . . they do it because men don't have "as" close kids' voices (although it can be a cool character voice sometimes) and they don't like to use kids in TV shows (although often in films) because their voice will change over time. Does seem a little odd they do it in anime that's only supposed to be one season if the VA won't ever play the character again, but it's also because kids can be harder to work with at times. |

That English VA for Alibaba is REALLY close to the Japanese VA, LOL. I'm surprised no one has made a comment on that yet.

The dub sounds fine, I laughed at Judal's voice though, he sounds so pathetic, since I consider Judal fairly pathetic it fits finely
Well it doesn't matter much to me though since I have no plans to buy the anime when the manga is already being sold here. |

Aladdin is a 10 year old boy or whatever. Unless they could get an actual kid to voice him, keep male voice actors away from him... I don't want to hear an adult voice coming from Aladdin

Assuming all male VA, English or Japanese, have the same deep voice that is not capable of a wide range like Daisuke Namikawa is a bit ignorant and judgmental. There are some out there but they're rare which isn't helped by the fact that there aren't many male English VA compared to how many male Japanese VA there are. |

Okay I was able to access it now
Most of the voices sound pretty good except Alibaba (although I am not a big fan of his seiyuu either) or Sinbad (love his seiyuu so that is disappointing). Aladdin is especially good, really adorable sounding. I won't be buying this so that clip is probably all I will hear. |

Its nearly impossible for a grown man to sound like a little boy unless it sounds very forced and unnatural. Women are perfect for playing pre-pubescent characters since it sounds natural. |
