If no one has sumbitted a cast, then there will be no cast. But it appears to be porn anyway, so does the cast really matter?

Well you never know. It's just like how some people have certain VAs or seiyuu they like, and maybe they want to keep up with them. Can't say I know too many of those actors I like from a hentai, though... So maybe it doesn't matter after all  .

O, well it is a Hentai but there was a voice there I recognized from a different anime so I wanted to check...

Many seiyuu have performed various roles in hentai under a pseudonym different from their real name or publicized stage name, either earlier in their career or just for some extra cash (hentai titles pay more to voice actors). Unless you have reliable sources AND how to romanize those pseudonyms correctly, please don't submit them just because a character "sounds like" a famous seiyuu. Misleading information is even worse than lacking information. |

I personally did the Body Transfer information. According to the end credits of the Kitty Media DVD, there are no credits to any of the Japanese voice actors. The only way you're going to find who had a role in the anime is by searching Japanese websites.

Well, maybe it's time someone actually read those Japanese websites (dormcat gave an excellent link in my other recent thread) and translated the names and did what they could do to establish reliable Japanese h-anime VA credits for this site. The info is probably all there, sitting around in plain site, but in Japanese, waiting for someone to come along and translate it to English for everyone.
And regarding English dub voice actors, as I said in my recent thread, I think it'd be fun to use our own ears and create an accurate list of VA credits. Kitty Media uses the same revolving set of h-anime English dub VAs for nearly all their shows but never once uses the same name for the same VA. They make up new, different names for every show (except for Jake Carpenteria) despite the fact that the entire VA cast consists of the same people. Since 'Body Transfer' was mentioned here and I happen to have seen it...I'll put up this one English dub VA credit I have strong suspicions of...the main guy is voiced by Eric Vale ("Trunks" in Funimation DBZ dubs). Do you guys who have seen this show agree? Also the female VAs in 'Body Transfer' are from the same group Kitty keeps using...and I have some suspicions at least one of them is a well-known English dub voice actress...but I'm not sure enough in this case so I won't mention the name (unless someone else mentions it first, in which case I'll confirm).

Like Tony said one3rd. Some people have favorite VAs and maybe they play on a hentai and they want to know. And dormcat is right to lack of information is better then wrong information...wrong information can get you in trouble while lack of information really isn't informative but can't get in trouble with it. |

I have a *strong* suspicion that far more well-known VA's, both English and Japanese, do h-anime than most of us suspect. I've already mentioned some shocking identifications regarding English dub VA in my recent thread.
I dunno if you think h-anime voices matter but I say they matter just as much as normal anime voices. If the h-anime companies go through the same trouble to hire the same established, experienced VAs to do their shows then they obviously think it matters, too. |

Really? That's great, because I really need help with the voice credits for Samurai Champloo. I listed all the names that were credited on my Vol. 1 DVD way back when it was first released, but I was only able to identify a few of them by ear. EDIT: Never mind, it seems someone already labeled quite a few roles. Thanks, whoever you people were  .

Direct your thanks to users theory, wpt1031, Advent_Nebula, Cher Degre and Darrel Guilbeau, and staffer areaseven, all of whom (along with yourself) were instrumental in bringing the VA list for the English dub of Samurai Champloo up to its current level of coverage. - abunai |

Of course, no thanks to thedigitalsin, who did the crystalacids.com entry for Samurai Champloo, where most of the Encyclopedia entry was copied from. But then, the same goes for roughly two thirds of all of ANN's information on dubs. |

Well, if you want to go that far into depth...we need to go back to the people who hired the Voice actors in the first place that were placed into the credits and thank them.

Well I can assure you that I entered all of the English staff credits and, at least, the VA names/pseudonyms myself. Whenever I see a title has no credits, I watch the DVD, write down names and roles, and enter them myself. I've never even heard of Crystal Acids (no offense), but thanks for all the info fanyway  .
I'm not trying to deny your claims or anything, I just want to defend the integrity of my contributions. I don't copy and paste from other sources. I'm not sure if anyone else around here does, since I'm not psychic or omniscient, but I'll say thanks to digitalsin in their stead  .

Regardless of who the myriad of sources that contribute to English dub VA credits on this site are (or what the original information source was) I'm still very impressed by the accuracy of the English dub VA info on ANN. It all has to be done by ear, at least originally. Whoever is contributing to do it all must have really good ears, better than mine that's for sure. I can tell voices okay, but I'm not all that reliable.
I wonder why it is so common for English dub VA credits to be listed without the characters' names attached?
