And there is much rejoicing, YAY! Actually, Yuri reprised his role as Pip Bernadotte in Hellsing Ultimate, so I figured Funimation would try to get him back and Code Geass is selling really well for Funimation, if only it hadn't been botched by bad audio problems, but I'm very happy.


Hellsing Ultimate's dub was outsourced to New Generation Pictures in LA to be consistent with episodes 1-4 so there's a difference between that and Akito because this looks to be mostly a Dallas dub. It's like with FUNi's BlazBlue & Neptunia's dubs where Kate Higgins returned for the former due to being dubbed at Cup of Tea in LA (where most of the games were dubbed at at that point) but not for the latter due to being dubbed in-house with most of the game cast traveling to Dallas themselves.

I wonder if Funimation are paying union for this dub (kinda like they did with Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan).


Yuri, Kate & Johnny are ficore so I don't think they had to.

They would have to pay union for the new show & movies if they plan to get everyone else back for those.

Thank goodness. The OVA would have been unwatchable without them. I might have had to do something I never do and watch it in Japanese. Great news to wake up to.

And there we have it! Yuri and Kate are reprising their roles. I'd be surprised if it ends up with JYB not reprising. lol. At this point it's safe to say they got all three of the previous major characters back. I'm actually more interested in who the ADR director/s is/are at this point.


i am wondering about that as well. if its the same ADR that was in season one and two, then i can really see some problems there.

as for the cast, that was a major surprise for me at least since the majority of the cast were funi VA. the fact that funi got the old main cast to reprise their roles is very surprising considering that their in the heart on shippuden's 4th ninja war arc. not to mention for SM & SM Crystal. especially for the case for both higgins and lowenthal since none of them even live in the texas area. its definitely gonna cost funi a pretty penny for sure if getting the cast back also includes their travel expensives as well.

What problems? In any case, it's sadly completely impossible for the original ADR director, Kevin Seymour, to return because he passed away around three years ago.

For The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan, they used Todd Haberkorn's studio, The Habertat, to record the voice actors in California. It's possible they're doing something similar here.

Fixed that for you. Very Happy
On a more serious note, it seems like OkraTron 5000 is indeed handling the ADR production and Donald Shults is probably directing the Dallas side again like he did with Nagato Yuki-chan. He hinted (quoted tweet only, original was already deleted) about reprisals a few days ago. So yeah, it's probable that similar arrangements were made and the only difference this time around is not needing to unionize the project.

It actually flew by me at first and only when I reread it did I notice something amiss. Laughing
