Tsubasa chronicle English voice predictions

Do remember that FUNimations will only use actors from one particular studio. Unless the actor is willing to take a trip to the other studio, that will not be the case. Assuming FUNimations commisions Redshift Productions to dub it, these are my thoughts on the actors:

Kari Wahlgren - Sakura
I thought her performance in the second CCS movie was most excellent and captured the same spirit of the Japanese Seiyuu. Though the Seiyuu is not the same this time, Sakura's character is basically the same in Tsubasa as she was in CCS except older.

Mona Marshall - Syaoran
Same reason as Kari Wahlgren.

Johnny Yong Bosch/Kevin Hatcher - Fai
Note that Bosch and Hatcher are the same people. As we saw in Trigun, Bosch can do carefree and laid back extremely well while acting serious in the necessary moments.

Steve Blum - Kurogane
A badass ninja requires a badass voice actor. Simple as that.

Kaeko Sakamoto- Mokanna
Though I have never heard her act before, I decided on Sakamoto on the premise that she has done Mokanna before and should reprise her role. Otherwise, I would say Wendee Lee since Mokanna in Tsubasa reminds me of Kero-chan from CCS.

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn - Yuuko
McGlynn can do all-knowing and serious real well but does have a wild side which I've never seen McGlynn do before. If not, then maybe Wendee Lee.

Derek Stephen Prince - Watanuki
No real basis. It's just that when I read the manga, I feel that his voice fits the role pretty well.

For the most part, I want the casts from the Bang Zoom! Entertainment dubs (ie Cardcaptor Sakura, Chobits, X, Magical Knights Rayearth) to reprise their roles.

I pridict an In house dub by FUNi, so just like with the Japanese verson, none on the previous english actors will reprise their roles.

Though FUNi did break out to other parts of North America and hired peeps from their respective regions (FMA being a great example since they hired Johnny Yong Bosch, Carrie Savage, Scott McNeil, and so forth). I wouldn't be surprised if they hired the LA VAs to reclaim their original roles as cameos. Tsubasa Chronicles is a great opportunity for this type of stuff as well as being an awesome English dub gimmick!
