NEWS: Funimation Streams The Ancient Magus' Bride English Dub Preview

The voice actors sound so familiar but I can’t place them. I’m thinking Elias is Bill Jenkins and Chise is Colleen Clinkenbeard?

IDK about Elias but Chise sounded more like Jill Harris to me

By the sounds of it, FUNimation may not be dubbing this themselves.These actors don't sound like anyone I recognize. Is Chise being played by a child actor? That's what it sounds like to me! Like Morry said, though, the acting sounds kinda stiff in this trailer (aside from Chise's outburst), but it IS just a trailer; the actual dub will probably sound a bit better. That said, I actually really like the voices and I can't wait to hear more.

Give me that cast list, FUNi. Stop teasing us!

as seems to be Black Clover's fate

Do people think Black Clover is getting outsoured? Funi annoucned that dub a few months ago when Crunchyroll announced they'd be simulcasting it, so I don't see why Funi would do it elsewhere. They only times since the partnership with CR that they outsource is for reoccurring roles or stuff that CR was already doing before the partnership with Funi.

I doubt that Funi would hype up such a big show and not be doing it inhouse.

It's the only show this season that hasn't had a release date announced. This either means it's going to premiere on Toonami (similar to Dimension W) or it's going to be outsourced (similar to Mob Psycho 100).

In terms of a dub One Piece, Fairy Tail, MHA, Soul Eater and more are all much better than Naruto and Bleach in terms of quality.

I wouldn't say "much better" but you're right to a degree.

You're right much better was a little extreme but I think the funi Shounen dubs are on a higher level than those from LA. They make a point to avoid main character VA's playing multiple roles something that LA does all the time and usuallyt o a shows detriment (see Bleach where almost every female is played by Wendee Lee, Stephanie Sheh or Kate Higgins.)
