Ok, I know literally nothing about English voice actors but why are some people(well, more than that) hating on this Vic Mignogna guy?

Apparently all his roles tend to sound the same.

But I honestly find this pretty hilarious. Anime hyper

Because many rumors are going around saying that he is a horrible person; he would be rude towards his die hard fans. I don't believe it because when I met him, he was nice. People need to realize that no one is perfect and we all have our bad days. Also, I think another reason why people are hating on him is because he is very popular and has done many roles (overrated); I guess people are tired of seeing his name on the cast list. :/

If you can easily recognize his voice within a few seconds, then yep his roles are indeed the same. You're right Anime hyper

I think I'll stick with the subbed. Unless the English VA's all agree to sing Future Fish for the ending credits. That would be...interesting. Laughing

Because some believe the rumor mill. The internet only tells the truth after all.

Decide for yourself. Until I see definitive proof, I am willing to give Vic Mignogna the benefit of the doubt. Being popular, creates people who want to take you down, just for being popular.

The man has a MASSIVE ego and likes to prove his characters "straight", but he isnt a pedo.

THAT being said, what the HELL are they doing with this script to have Todd as Haru and Vic as Rin?! This isnt ouran, nor is it Hetalia! These characters actually have several episodes of serious shit going down, and these voices are some of the WORST for Stoick McStoicson and the previously angsty face who became a cool teacher type.

I'm Shuddering at the thought of these two talking as Haru and Rin. I was on board with Bosch as Makoto, but I cant watch this dub anymore with these two as the other MCs.

I don't dislike Vic (in fact I really liked him as Tamaki another Miyano role) but I feel this was a definite miscast.

Mr. Mignogna is notoriously homophobic and yet winds up playing characters who are either canonically gay/bi like Fay Flourite from Tsubasa, or whose series have massive BL subtext (like Free!). He's also a total creep that pervs on female fans at conventions.


ya'll are cute.
