#so it sounds very forced/unnatural- they shouldve just cast people with deeper voices if thats what they wanted

man im watching clips of y8 with the eng dub and its uh. i mean, kasuga and chitose sound alright? robbie daymond makes a decent zhao too (and can sing, damn), but the rest...............
#rambles#yakuza liveblogging#i think some VAs were straight up miscast#like kiryu and adachi sound WAY too young#and them + nanba + yamai all sound like theyre going for a voice thats way lower than their normal range#so it sounds very forced/unnatural- they shouldve just cast people with deeper voices if thats what they wanted#but others seem like a case of poor direction#like tomi sounds too...... peppy? i guess?#his character is very reserved/introverted so in jp he speaks with a pretty flat/monotonous affect most of the time#but in the dub he talks like a pretty normal somewhat outgoing dude so you lose that dimension of his character#same with joongi and seonhee- in jp they speak with a particular precision/sophistication#theyre leaders of a huge organization and as such are very careful with their words and you can hear that in their tone#but that element is completely missing from the eng dub#how kiryu's eng voice has been handled in particular is baffling- i know they recast him after 7 with some youtuber#which like. not knocking youtubers as a whole but the dude simply does not fit the part#and i looked up the VA they'd used for kiryu previously and he's fine? like nobody can ever be takaya kuroda but the old VA fit way better#plus hes like. actually close to kiryu's age (58) vs the new guy who's 32. and of course VAs can play characters of a variety of ages#but when the main problem with the new voice is that he sounds too young and you had a guy who sounds better and is the right age....#why recast him??? i dont get it. even if the old VA was no longer an option for some reason *surely* there was a better fit out there
