CONSTANTLY IN AWE OF THIS SHOW | Delicious In Dungeon Episode 9 Reaction [ENG DUB]

Enjoy this reaction to Delicious in Dungeon Episode 9!

[@FrancisPlamondon1982]

I love this episode as a turning point for Marcille: for the first time, she is the one to propose eating (well, drinking) the monster before Laios does. Also, why it's not explicilty stated, by keeping the remaining undine water for later, she essentially invented mana potions in a world that does not have those.

I've really enjoyed watching her character develop, and learning even more about both her capabilities and personality quirks as the episodes go on! Getting ready to sit down and start recording Episode 15 onwards. I'd like to get to 19 or 20 today so I can wrap up the show tomorrow and finally be caught up with everyone in the comments as far as the anime is concerned 😅.

Wow, I'm early. 11 mins. Woo!!!

This might surprise you but the voice of Mr. Tansu is none other than veteran voice actor, Corey Burton who you may have heard in every project he’s done for Disney from voicing Captain Hook, Dale, Ludwig Von Drake, Yen Sid along with Count Dooku & Cad Bane from various _Star Wars_ animated series and games, Brainiac in the DC Animated Universe and Shockwave in the 1980s _Transformers_ cartoon. Honestly, it’s quite amazing and a big surprise to see Corey Burton in an Anime Dub considering outside of his participation in the dubs of the different Studio Ghibli films _(Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Whisper of the Heart, and Porco Rosso),_ _Batman: Gotham Knight_ and the _Kingdom Hearts_ video game series, it's not often you see voice actors who primarily work in Western Animation like Corey Burton, along with Grey DeLisle, Tara Strong, Tom Kenny, Jennifer Hale, John DiMaggio, Bob Bergen (Porky Pig), Richard Horvitz, Fred Tatasciore, and Chris Edgerly, Keith David, Eric Bauza, and Nolan North (whom all three (Keith, Eric and Nolan) and Fred Tatasciore were in _Pluto_ which you should check out) work in a Union dub anime series cause when compared to the likes of Crispin Freeman, Kari Wahlgren, Yuri Lowenthal and Steve Blum who still continue to appear in the occasional Union Anime dub productions to this day (depending on schedules and the project they’re doing) after becoming Union-only voice actors, the majority of the voice actors who primarily do original animation (and they mention this in most interviews) they don't do Union anime dubs either due to the payscale (cause anime pays far less when compared to voice recording for a Western Cartoon, Commercial or a Video game) which is one reason they don't them, then there is their voiceover schedules, but the main reason that most voice actors like Corey Burton don’t do dubbing is that dubbing is a technical difference which means the voice actors have to match and be in sync with the lip flaps of the characters mouths on screen and that there is no preparation, as it's just listening to 3 beeps on the headphones and on the 4th imaginary beep they say their lines of dialogue through the script on screen. So literally most of these western animation voice actors including Corey would rather work on a Pre-Lay animation project that gives them more freedom in the recording booth (while also doing improv and ad-libbing) and work alongside the other voice actors in the same recording session instead of a dubbing session that restricts their vocal freedom and pays very little. Now even with the Netflix SAG-AFTRA deal (as Delicious in Dungeon, Pluto and many other Netflix are under that contract) that made the majority of their current anime dubs Unionized since July of 2019, which gives the voice actors $87 an hour with a 2 hour minimum guarantee, plus an additional 50% (in lieu of additional payments on the back-end.) leading to $130.50/hr. and eventually getting $261.00 at the end of each 2 hr. session according to Ben Diskin on Twitter, it's not going to reconsider the likes of Tom Kenny, Tara Strong, Grey Delisle-Griffin, Dee Bradley Baker, Phil LaMarr, Jeff Bennett, Rob Paulsen, Jennifer Hale, Richard Horvitz, Hynden Walch, Jim Cummings, Kevin Michael Richardson, John DiMaggio, Eric Bauza, Cree Summer, James Arnold Taylor, Corey Burton and among many other Pre-Lay animation voice actors to start doing Union anime dubs (including the ones done by Netflix), cause they previously already made their stance and decisions on not wanting to do anime dubs (Union or not), so I can't blame them. Of course, lately we have been getting the likes of some Pre-Lay animation voice actors like Andrew Kishino, Larissa Gallagher, William Salyers, Josh Keaton, Cissy Jones, Julie Nathanson, Chris Edgerly, Cathy Cavadini, Paul Nakauchi, Keone Young, Trevor Devall, James C. Mathis III, Kiff VandenHeuvel, and Lori Alan who mostly do original animation and video game voice work are now starting to make more appearances in the various Union Anime dubs at Netflix. Even some celebrity actors have been slowly appearing in some of the Netflix anime dubs like: • _Flavors of Youth_ (Evan Rachel Wood and Ross Butler) • _Ultraman (2019 anime)_ (Josh Hutcherson) • _Rilakkuma & Kaoru_ (Lana Condor) • _Yasuke_ (Lakeith Stansfeld, Ming-Na Wen, and Darren Criss) • _Eden_ (David Tennant, Rosario Dawson, Neil Patrick Harris, and Ruby Rose Turner) • _Bright Samurai Soul_ (Simu Liu) • _Cyberpunk: Edgerunners_ (Giancarlo Esposito) • _Pluto_ (Keith David) • _Scott Pilgrim: Takes Off_ (The entire cast from the 2010 Scott Pilgrim film; okay that Isn’t a dub, but still) • _Pokemon Concierge_ (Karen Fukuhara, Imani Hakim) • _Delicious in Dungeon_ (Emily Rudd) I hope that Netflix starts to continue utilizing some celebrity actors and Pre-Lay Animation voice actors in some of their anime dubs (anime series and anime films), regardless if the former (the celebrities) are too costly to get for a Netflix unionized anime dub or they are busy with their film and TV work schedules and/or they don’t want to do it due to the low pay.

That's really awesome! It's been years since I've watched the Disney classics, but that's really amazing! I've been throughly impressed by the voice talent in this English Dub.

[@patron8597]

Didn't the guy you replied to before posting this say the same thing?

[@EChacon]

@@patron8597 And your point?

[@EChacon]

@@patron8597 No Reason to be a kill joy and besides it doesn’t matter who posted it first and wether it’s the same response or not you don’t have to make a big deal on it.

[@Noxiddar]

It's all good. Should check the comments on my first attempt at a series reaction with One Piece and they all say I talk too much. Haha. You would think seeing it the first handful of times would be enough. Some people have a thought and want to share it. I'm totally okay with that. But I appreciate you engaging as a community. I'm always happy to see it!

[@hyobro8392]

Welcome back !

[@Noxiddar]

It's good to be back! I'm just getting ready to sit down and record The Red Dragon Part 1 and 2! Let's go!

[@joelhilljr]

Glad you're back in the swing of things, hoping things are doing well!

[@Noxiddar]

It's good to be back, thank you! Things are going well here, thankfully. Just finished recording a reaction for Episode 14, and will try to finish all the remaining reactions for Delicious in Dungeon in the coming days! It feels good to be back and moving forward instead of standing still spinning plates!

[@wolfheartspirit97]

This show reminds me a lot of a WEBTOON I love reading. It’s not dungeon related but it is full of food and a good story. It’s called Gourmet Hound and I highly recommend it if you want some fun characters.

[@billlee3851]

Fun fact, Tansu's voice actor is actually Corey Burton, known for Captain Hook, Smee, Dale, Scarecrow, Captain Cold and many many other roles. It's rare that a primarily Disney voice actor, and a famous one at that, is working on an anime. Senshi's voice actor, ProZD, is a huge Peter Pam fan, he practically memorized the entire movie. I can only imagine how he felt working with mr. Burton.

[@EChacon]

Even I heard that the voice director of the dub for _Delicious in Dungeoon_ Lucien Dodge revealed in past interviews that Corey Burton was one of his voice mentors on how he got in the world of voiceover, and Corey showed Lucien the ropes on the craft of voiceover and being a good voice actor in general. So because of this, they maintain a good friendship with each since then, hence why Lucien casted Corey in the dub of _Delicious in Dungeon_ for this special occasion. On top of that, Corey is also on the Autism spectrum, like I am and same with Damien Haas (Laios).

[@michaelwilliamybarra2409]

To add to Mr. Burton's credits to really gage at his range in my view, he's also done the voices of Professor Ludwig Von Drake and Yensid as well!

[@EChacon]

@@michaelwilliamybarra2409 Don’t forget Count Dooku & Cad Bane from various _Star Wars_ animated series and games, the latter character he end up reprising in _The Bad Batch_ and _The Book of Boba Fett,_ Brainiac in various animated series from the DC Animated Universe and Shockwave in the 1980’s _Transformers_ cartoon.

[@EChacon]

@@billlee3851 I highly doubt Corey and SungWon Cho (ProzD) worked togethec cause anime dubbing is mostly done separately considering it’s a technical difference compared to pre-lay animation where the majority of the voice actors are in the same room together. The only time that an actor will ever interact with another voice actor in anime is when they pass by each other in studio after he/she finishes their session and the next one comes in or during an series dub wrap-up party or at a Convention.

[@Noxiddar]

Possibly. Though I've seen the Strawhat voice actors of One Piece each sharing 3 microphones and huddling around them to read their lines. I'm sure the differences in approach come down to studio design, flexibility/availability of talent, and studio's policies and procedures. But it's likely the case for Western talent. I remember things like Vin Diesel didn't really have any contact with the rest of the cast voicing Groot for Guadians of the Galaxy. It's possibly the same for Bradley Cooper. And then you have to wonder how many things changed during and after COVID that may still be in place. It's definitely speculation without hard evidence. Nevertheless, it is still special to share the experience, even if the closest some of the voice talent gets to one another is the cast list on IMDB. Haha.
