Makes sense that Caitlin Glass would be directing this. She's a little over halfway done with Fruits Basket S2 and loves working on PA Works shows in general. I like that the cast is a mix of actors I recognize and don't/only know them from much smaller roles. It should be a fun show to check out dubbed!

Also, they posted a short clip as well for anyone interested: https://twitter.com/FUNimation/status/1306699817687678976

Pretty neat to have Xanthe Huynh playing one of the main characters given she's an LA VA.

Okay but the 2nd image is a massive plot spoiler also it's missing spoiler[Richard].

As someone who hasn't watched the show at all I dont see how seeing the second picture would scream spoiles to me.

Wow, really unexpected cast list. And this exact kind of series I would want to hear dubbed. But Caitlin is usually a hitter.

Given that everyone's remote anyways, I doubt it's all that different from working with local actors currently.

Alright let me explain it in....

spoiler[The person they list as Chase is first introduced as Gil T Cigar. He's using that name because of GIl's reputation for being a brutal criminal. He is not actually Gil and you don't find this out until around episode 8.]

This is also why i hid the other name because it too is part of that.

^You’re thinking of a different character. spoiler[Chase is the Gil imposter’s brother, not the Gil imposter]. So there are no spoilers in the images.

Still, it's a smart move, spoiler[keeping the voices for both the fake and real Gil under wraps].

Wow...i'm dumb i looked at it and got them confused indeed.
So yes that's not a spoiler and as another user pointed out that's a good move on their part.

This looks great. I think I'm going to enjoy this. It's been a long wait but it was worth it. I doubt that anyone here would be surprised of me liking this. Very Happy

Its still kind of a big deal because most (if not all) LA VAs are in the Union so they don't really do shows in Texas because Texas is a right to work state. So most LA VAs that appear in Funi dubs usually use pseudonyms save for ones that moved from Texas to LA like Cherami Leigh, Jeannie Tirado, Todd Haberkorn, and a few others. Or VAs who are popular enough where psedonyms are useless like JYB, Michelle Ruff, or Cristina Vee to name a few.

Well, there is a thing called "financial core" (fi-core), which lets union actors/actresses work on non-union projects.
