So were the dub voice actors for Saber, Gilgamesh, and Kotomine, yet they weren't recast. Instead Grant George (Gilgamesh) and Jamieson Price (Kotomine) were cast as Fate/Zero's Lancer and Rider respectively. If I had to guess, they're probably just trying to distance themselves from the original FSN as much as possible. |

I was fine with Same Regal as Shirou (even if it's kind of weird that he sounds like Jude from Tales of Xillia) I pretty much expect everyone to have the same VA as their 2006 counter parts with the exception of Saber, poor girl can't even keep one dub voice |

I'll be fine if they keep Mela lee as Rin, I would feel trolled if they hired Carli Mosier as her voice was very unfitting/too old sounding for Rin in the Fate Kaleid dub(thank god sentai does not have UBW TV series) |

^ THIS IMO, Liam O'Brien gave the best performance in the 2006 dub and the movie as Archer, and an excellent performance as Kariya in the Fate/Zero. If he doesn't voice Archer in this again, I don't know what I'll do. The show hasn't been all that great anyway, so maybe I just won't watch it. JUST GET LIAM O'BRIEN TO VOICE ARCHER AGAIN, DAMMIT!

Mela Lee as Rin Tohsaka, or I'm not buying. I liked Jamieson Price as Kirei Kotomine, but I'd also be cool with Aniplex having Crispin Freeman reprise the role from F/Z.
But really, can we just decide on an actress for Saber and stick with her? We've already had Kate Higgins, Michelle Ruff, AND Kari Wahlgren. How much you wanna bet she'll get a fourth VA? |

While I don't really follow such a series (after all, nearly 100 episodes of any full-length anime series is quite an investment), I wonder who they will have play Saber this time. A lot of fans would probably want Kate Higgins since she was the first dubbed Saber.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! Awesome news! Much earlier than F/Z! I hope Sam Riegel comes back. Yes, he was flawed as Shirou, but that's his first major role. It wouldn't be the same without him.
Mela Lee was iconic as Rin, so replacing her would have horrible repercussions on the fanbase. It already had back in 2014, so I expect Aniplex not to make Sentai's cheap mistake. Gilgamesh? I know a lot of people won't like any voice for the character but Seki, but I actually think all his VAs were good. Grant George wasn't that bad. In fact, his "Chains of Heaven" delivery was pretty good in the DEEN UBW and he had a lot of arrogance in his voice. Sure, he sounds surferish, but that's not a valid critique. As for Earnest, he has the acting down perfectly. If his voice was slightly deeper, it would be near perfect. Besides, it's his best role anyway. His acting was so good as Gilgamesh. Assassin? Who cares? He always had a plain voice in any version. Plain voice for plain character. Kirei? Both VAs were excellent, so it matters not. I'd prefer Price, since this is older Kirei. Sakura? I think her old VA is either retired or dead, since she hasn't done anything since F/S/N anyway, ironically enough. Vee should come back. She was cute as Chibi Sakura. Taiga? Julie Ann Taylor was decent, so she should come back. She's not important, so it does't matter. Shinji? Erholtz or GTFO. Erholtz was perfect as Shinji. Illya? Sheh, but she shoud use her F/Z voice. Sheh was odd in the original TV show. Berserker? As long as you have a deep, powerful roar, it matters not. Archer? As others has said, Liam IS Archer. One of his first big roles and it still holds up very well. Improved big time in the DEEN movie and will be awesome if he returns in the ufotable series. Caster? Platt was fine in F/S/N and slightly better in the movie. Since Platt does Atsuko Tanaka characters all the time, it matters not. The thing with Caster is that her voice is not soft, but is not as deep as Flavia, another synergy character with said VAs. Lancer? Tony Oliver was fun to hear as Lancer. Want him back. Kuzuki? Who cares? The guy already had a replacement in Japanese, so a replacement in English is not important. No-one can play this blando well. Rider? Strassman was.....I dunno. She's not important in this route, so it matters not. Kiritsugu? Obviously Matt Mercer IS Kiritsugu. The role made the man. So perfect. Cannot imagine anyone else as Kiritsugu. And finally, Saber. Listen, Kate Higgins may be the original English Saber and may be iconic in the role, but Kari Wahlgren is as good as the JP VA for me and I am not kidding. Sure, they're hard to compare, but Kari just oozes Saber's mannerisms perfectly. She is Saber, as far as I am concerned and she MUST come back. If not, I will be sad. 
Hopefully the dub is good. F/Z is considered to be the best dub of the 2010s. It's gonna be tough to follow, but I hope it can. |

well sentai is in a different state than Aniplex, and Aniplex's recording studio is in the same area as the ones who originally dubbed the Studio Deen show, although it's not really an excuse because sentai has out sourced for dubs of the UBW movie and the Persona 4 anime, but my problem with the fate/kaleid dub isn't the VA changes but the fact that they miscasted a few characters, namely Rin who should not ever be voiced by Carli Mosier, not that she's a bad actress but her voice is a little too old sounding for a character who's 17 |

Incidentally, David Vincent (or Earnest, if you insist on using his alias) was also Assassin in the original F/SN anime. As for Sakura's old VA, Sherry Lynn has actually done a few things since F/SN. Off the top of my head, she was in Blood Lad and the Hyperdimension Neptunia games, and those were relatively recent. It shouldn't be that hard to get her back, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker either if they had to replace her. |

it's not deal breaker because Sakura is a generic/boring character, besides it was kind of weird having a nympho share the same voice as Sasami from the Tenchi franchise |
