User blog comment:Miskos3/Fairy Tail Launches 'Shocking' Project Next Spring/@comment-4449950-20131201042452

I just got around to watching some of FuNimations release of season 2 of Fairy Tail. WOW... I have got to tip my hat to the guys at FuNi... some of the voices are just great :D Others are... not so great ^__^" but I'd love to hear what you guys think ;D

I usually wouldn't post something on this because nobody here really seems to care for the dub, but I need to congratulate Chris Cason for his portrayal of Hoteye. Holy shit, the man does a great job!! I would highly recommend going and watching both the first battle scene where the O6 appear and his scene with Jura when Nirvana turns him. I can't get over what an amazing job he does *stands to applaud for some time*

As for the others, I'd love to hear your opinions, but here are mine in a nutshell:
 * Brain: I didn't like him much. He sounded too old and smart for my liking. I find that the guys at FuNi struggle with getting very unique deep voices and high pitched voices for cute girls/cute boys/cats ;D Brain unfortunately is no exception. Zero suffers the same fate :/
 * Cobra: Very well done I thought. Jarrod Greene captures Cobra's more carefree attitude. I would have liked him just that little bit more though if he had that slurring ruggedness that Cobra's Japanese VA brought to the character.
 * Racer: Also very good. I liked him :)
 * Angel: I think she could have sounded a little more stuck up than she did (she sounded a lot older) but she was still nicely voiced.
 * Hoteye: BLOODY.BRILLIANT. I was laughing my ass off at the scene with Jura XD XD XD Especially considering the rather odd translations of the script the dub writers have gone with, I think he did a sensational job~ *thumbs up*
 * Midnight: Hmmm... :/ He was okay, but he didn't really scare me. The Japanases VA had this real creepy voice that made me shiver, and I didn't get it here D;
 * Klodoa: Also really well done ;D
 * Jura: ("-__-) Again with the deep voices that don't fit - I found his okay...
 * Ichiya: The same problem. They got the deep-ish-ness of the voice, but none of the personality, and when they got the sickeningly smooth sound of the personality, none of the deepness.
 * Wendy: I... I can't stand her to be honest XD No little, kawaii, quiet Wendy here... She sounds like a whiny brat :/
 * Carla: Not bad considering. I think they did okay with her.
 * Ren: He seemed great. Didn't hear him in many of the scenes I watched, but those I did hear him in sounded nice ;D
 * Eve: No. Eve is meant to be cute a small sounding. He sounded like an older male teen here. Far too deep for my liking at all.
 * Hibiki: Almost the same issue as Eve. He could have sounded much softer in my opinion.
 * Hughes: He sounds wicked XD XD XD His script is also really funny, and suits him nicely :)
 * Sugarboy: I didn't hear too much of him, but what I heard sounded fine :)
 * Byro: Awesome :D They got the deepness and wheeziness perfectly :3
 * Coco: SO FREAKIN' CUTE! Loved her :D
 * Faust: Great great great! Everything I wish they could do with Brain they did with him. A very good voice that matched very well.
 * Pantherlily: I haven't heard much of him... and that I did hear was not bad. Granted he was angry in the scene I listened to, cause he sounded very masculine and very pissed off. I want to watch his fight with Gajeel very much to fully see the extent his VA goes to :D

Well, those're my thoughts. If there's anyone out there who watches the FuNi dub, drop a comment here and lemme know what you think ;)

( .__.) *realises this is a blog about the shocking project* ^__^" Uuhhhhh... Dunno... Hope it is shocking though :3
