This is awesome news, and the price is really reasonable. Definitely picking these up!

While I do not listen to audiobooks myself I am very happy to hear this. I love these novels so I am happy they are getting more publicity.

The most important question here is who are the English voices?

They probably won't be anyone with name-brand recognition, at least within the anime sphere. Graphic Audio is based in Maryland, and from what I can recall from having looked into a couple of the actors some time ago among the Stormlight Archive casts, they skew towards the east-coast theatre scene. From what I have seen, their audiobooks (which are more like audio dramas, with full casts, SFX and scores) will regularly reuse the same actors across different franchises.

So to sum it up, my guess is we're more likely to see names like Andy Clemence, Chris Davenport and Dawn Ursala, as opposed to a Patrick Seitz or a Laura Post.

If I remember correctly the first novel covers the events in the Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust movie. The original OVA is actually book 3 or 4. Its been while since I last got into this series while I enjoyed it, after 12 or so books I just lost interest in it.

The OVA is book 1. Bloodlust is book 3.
