In b4 greg Ayres is given the lead role yet again from a Sentai acquisition..

I Dunno who's favorite he is behind the scenes and again, I'm aware of the "you take what work is offered to you" and all that.

But he clearly doesnt fit most of the roles he's given, a classification we've been giving Vic Mignogna for a while now that thankfully has died down somewhat. Because even though Vic was a good fit for Edward Elric; having only seen one episode of Vampire Knight he was most definitely NOT Zero Kiryu(sp)

Looking forward to show like Last Exile: Fam and Another, Ayres' inclusion in the shows have delegated them to mere 'rentals' or 'borrow-from-friend' statuses upon watching 1-3 episode(s) of each and being once again disappointed by a voice that clearly does not fit the characters he's meant to portray.

I'm aware of his HUGE fanbase that to this day surprises me, and I'm totally expecting at least 1 post in retaliation to mine on how "I don't know what I'm talking about, it's how he sounds he cant help it due to X, and how Greg is 'tha sh!tz'." But thank you Mr. Ayres for killing some of my favorite shows from a US purchase and saving my $$$ for something you aren't cast as a lead/important-support-role in.

It's a little early to complain about potential dub casting choices when we can't be completely certain it will even be dubbed at all.

Yeah just saying, he's a perfect shoe-in for the lead role if they decide to go for it (not meant as a compliment and also based on their track record of giving him leads I personally wouldn't expect him to get; this is one of them.)

Forgot to mention Kokoro Connect as well. Sure the show has it's mild comedic moments but it's largely a show that I personally took a bit seriously with the story content it was portraying. His voice doesn't sell that kind of tension and drama that the show is known for. As for Outbreak Company tho? Yeah, he's "perfect." :/
