Crispin Freeman is a good voice actor and all but when I watched the dub Hellsing soon after I watched the dub Chobits, I kept on thinking that Alcard was Hideki and at any moment he was going to trip over his own ass and scream while holding a pair of schoolgirl panties.

*rofl*

He is a good voice actor... but in my opinion he is just not Alucard. Jouji Nakata IS Alucard. To me Alucard voice has to be like Akio's mature sound and just dead sexy. Freeman voice lacks the maturity
Also the japanese dub both in the tv series and OVA has Koyasu as Luke!!! You just can't beat that!!!

I heard Freeman was Touga in Utena, Is that true? if its the is... weird.

Well, I primarily like the Hellsing dub because it has passable fake accents. They're not as good as the real thing but since I haven't been to England in years I'll take what I can get.

Crispin Freeman is a pretty good actor. Just for fun, here's a clip of him talking about Juri. http://youtube.com/watch?v=kj1Wd_Ymxe0

I guess hanging to much with the Hellsing fandom makes you a purist in many things -.- (Death to the darkhorse translations!!! )

*Goes to watch the video*
"Oh no she isn't, yes she is, oh god she IS!!!"

Oh god not this

Tory (Goki Otori)

lol hurr hurr Tory and Tommy are in the boy's locker room again guys!

Also WTF Goki? Akio -> Goki -> GOKU

SUPER SAIYAN AKIO

wait what 'Mike (Akio Otori):'

Wait, Goki is the dean and Akio is Anthy's brother how do they do this what what what

Also Saionji = Kevin Smith

I think the names are the worst.

Sonny (Soji Mikage):
4th grader of high school. He has genius brain and charismatic personality. He plans to get rid of Angie and give the privilege of Rose Bride to Miles.

That is, until he was pumped full of lead at a toll booth.

Saionji = KEVIN SMITH?

Suddenly, I have this image in my head of Touga and Saionji as Jay and Silent Bob.

The Shadow Girl dub makes me sad

Is that what those three weird entities at the end are supposed to be? They don't sound like anything I've seen or heard of.

In my case when I saw the name Kevin Smith, I immediately thought of the guy who played Ares, God of War in Xena.

Every now and then I get the urge to delete these Enoki names from Wikipedia. WTF, they're not really necessary if that version doesn't exist.



Tory (Goki Otori): The dean of the school who watches over Ursula and Angie in the background. Is his true identify "The Seeker of the Armageddon" ?
Kate (Kanae Otori): 3rd grader of High school. Daughter of Goki Tory, the dean of school. She has engaged with Mike and they will get married when they graduate the school.
Mike (Akio Otori): Brother of Angie the Rose Bride. He is friendly and easy-going with others. He like to wear black

Tory/Goki is clearly Kanae's (sick) father? But...

Are they trying to make Kanae's father into Ends of the World? How dare they try to portray Ends of the World as anyone other than Akio! He's not supposed to be princely! He's supposed to be evil and hot!

Sounds like a good idea. Let's move it over to the Dream Cast thread.

You know the way I read that I almost launched out of my chair thinking there was also an SKU game on the Dreamcast.

Hmm... actually I think I may have figured out whom  Pazolini, Silver Mask, and Lady June could be...

It's possible Pazolini could be "Ends of the World" Akio since apparently he's the leader of the troop of the "Seeker's of Armageddon"

Lady June could be "Sacrifcial Anthy" A fake name, or something like that, like "Mike" would be a fake name for "Pazolini" I wouldn't put it past the,.... now here's where I fear what would have happened if this had succeeded.

Silver Mask: I believe to be Touga... wearing a silver mask, How America would have done this I'm not sure, thogh I fear the result's of what it could have been...

Seekers of Armageddon I'm guessing is Akio, so Pazolini would be Touga?

They did refer to Touga being Latin... You'd have to get pretty deep into Sicily to pull off Akio being Italian. Touga however might be northern Italian.

(He's French.)

Also Enoki Films can kiss my ass for totally mistranslating 'sekai no hate'.

My favorite is Mitsuru's Enoki name - Mitch. Doesn't Mitsuru look like a Mitch to you?

Was it real Brits? I'll take your word for it. I just watched it on TV at someone else's house, and nobody ever wanted to watch the credits. But being originally from Europe doesn't mean you'll keep your accent perfect. Hell, Anthony Stewart Head affected an accent to play Giles on Buffy. Yes, he's a real Brit, but that wasn't his real accent.

Too bad that Anderson isn't supposed to be a Scottish, but of unknown nationality. You'd expect that everyone'd guess where he's from, when he countinuously uses distinguished accent...

I'm aware his nationality isn't specified originally. That isn't the point, though, so much as noting the "passable fake" accents are done by "real" Europeans, and that this was deliberately done for verisimulitude.

The scottish accent has proved popular, though; the manga translation unabashedly stole it.

Darkhorse edition *hate* *stab* *hate* Not only the silly accents are extremely dificult to understand also take away seriousness from the characters

Alexander Anderson a serious character? Mind boggles...
Seriously, Hellsing manga is supposed to be comical, for good part of it. Still, I agree, reading written accents gets on my nerves.
