[@guidoivanmendez2354]

My take on Mark Hammil exactly.

[@freezasama5802]

Well the reason Sean gets angry is because he doesn't usually like fans or people he just likes the fame, there's many instances where fans have tried to share things with him or mention something to him and he's dismissed it, for example at a convention a couple years back he was asked about dbza he immediately dismissed it and said he has nothing to do with it when they were just asking his opinion while with Chris Sabat (Vegeta) he would happily join in and even voiced in the show as a guest appearance, he would also do the over 9000 part 100 times even though it's Brian Drummond who popularised that line. Sean sadly also participated in getting rid of Vic Mignogna (Broly) (Edward Elric) and he made up accusations about him even though he was his friend and forced him out of funimation and his job. While Sean is a incredible artist you have to seperate the art from the artist sometimes and this is one of those instances

[@G1sandG1rlsGaming]

Sean, Chrisopher and Sonny strait were all involved in making things up about Vic. The odd thing is, Sean actually was on the fence when the accusations came out unlike Christopher, but after some people online annoyed him he immediately said "Y'know what? Fuck Vic!"

What happened with Vic

[@CTomCooper]

@@joemomma6317 ⁠​​⁠He got metoo’d with allegations of assault that have never been backed up by evidence or police reports. He got kicked off of his VA role as Broly, likely because his former coworkers had a trigger of jealousy from the rise of his character’s popularity. So within VA circles he was blacklisted, albeit he still manages with fan projects and meetups where he’s not blacklisted. He also hired a lawyer for a libel and slander suit versus Funimation. Unfortunately that became its own mess of his lawyer committing malpractice by bringing in legal documents late into court, and Vic had agreed to his contract in such a way that he received no money back from the funds for legal fees his supporters gave for his case, and that is just on top of being issued costs issued by the court to pay to Funimation around the sum of 300,000 plus dollars. The more you look into this, the more you’ll see how dark and rotten the VA industry is. Or at least Funimation’s VA’s. It’s gotten me to just watch fan subbed episodes out of habit when I watch anime nowadays. If you see any of Vics interviews he’s a really nice guy, and while open about his personal religious beliefs when asked he doesn’t push them onto people talking to him. If anything he’ll take to task fundamentalist evangelicals for not exhibiting a good christian ethic. In short he was cancelled for being a white, christian guy, both by his former peers and an online anonymous mob.

He loved the gifts that I gave him, especially the ring and the Star Trek necklace. He said to me: "I love you, you are so kind. I wish there were more people like you in the world" Words cannot describe how I felt when he said that to me. His words do speak volumes when he said he wishes everyone could just put aside our differences and celebrate the things we love and do instead of being offended by this thing, and criticizing that thing. I got to hug him afterwards and told him as we were hugging, that I was so glad he came, and he said the same to me too, and we should make it a tradition to meet each other many times as we can. It was an honor and a blessing to meet a kind genuine person like Vic.

A lot of people don't like Sean mainly due to how introverted he is. I'd imagine it being very mentally exhausting to talk to hundreds of different people all in a single sitting, whilst the vast majority of them asking something from you. Compare him to Chris Sabat, who is a very extroverted person, it's much easier to feel more comfortable speaking to him, as extroverted people are very outgoing which makes them easier to talk to. I understand why some would say that Sean comes off as an ass hole, especially when you're meeting him in a place where you are expected to socialize. But that doesn't inherently mean he's a bad person. Some may bring up some of his past controversies as ammo to paint him as someone malicious. But everyone makes mistakes. And as much as I believe people should be held accountable for their mistakes and actions, I don't think it's fair to assume that is their entire personality.

So Sean, with his massive ego, likes to flex his privilege of voicing the most recognizable anime character in history, yet gets pissy over the fact that Goku's so popular he has to attend conventions and interact with fans.

[@AndrewsSecrets360]

I met Sean twice years ago. Once was with my friend and years later I took my younger brother to a convention who wanted to meet Sean. The first time he couldn’t be bothered to be there. Dude was bored and kept each person waiting to he could talk text into his phone. Dude didn’t want to talk or interact either. It really seemed like he didn’t want to be there. A couple of years later when I took my younger Brother, Sean once again didn’t really seem like he wanted to be there. He found out through us that Weird Al was at the same convention since we met him before Sean and he perked up. Told us about how he wrote parody songs himself and would love to meet Weird Al and see if they wanted to make a song together. We ended that interaction by Sean asking us directions to where Weird Al’s table was. Both interactions were strange. Chris Sabat is very friendly and worth the money to meet though.

They were SO excited to meet him!! They waited a long time, paid a lot of money, and for a selfie. This was during the goku black arc airing, and They asked him “I was curious about why you used a different accent for goku Black vs Goku? Like a british accent?” He went off on them “I think I know how to do my job and nobody needs to tell ME how to voice Act” They didn’t mean any offense by it, but he definitely took offense!!

Tips on meeting/asking a VA 1. Do research so you don't ask the same question everyone else does 2. Make it quick 3. Save questions for the panel 4. Most importantly, Dont go in with high expectations

[@Blacknight6577]

I met a few VAs before and they were all nice like Alexis Tipton, Vic Mignogna, and Monica Rial back in the early 2010s at my nearest convention at Anime Midwest. The last VA I kinda met was Johnny Yong Bosch and I say kinda cus he didn’t had time to greet us and signed things for his fans instead. However while he was doing this he didn’t had a smile on his face which honestly brought the mood down for me. I understand if he was tired, but he looked like he was in a bad mood. We all have our days and moments where we aren’t doing well, but if ur a public image then u should do ur best to not show ur bad side or worse let ur ego get to u. Not saying about JYB, but I heard Sean has been like that a lot.

A year later I went to meet Sean Schemmel and do the world's largest Kamehameha (some world record where everyone does the Kamehameha wave at the same time). And waited in line for a good while. They ended up doing it before everyone got through the line and he left. Nothing wrong with that, but you could tell which of the 2 prefers being around the fans and who doesn't.

I have met Sean a couple of times and he has always been very cool with me! I am sorry that a lot of fans have had some poor experiences with him and that is very unfortunate. However I did want to share something positive about a very cool thing that he did for me at the first con that I met him. For some reason I was confused about the photo op schedule that I was going to have with him (apparently I missed it). When I told the ones in charge of the photo op both, they quickly reached out to Sean and he came quickly to do my photo op with me! He did not have to do that since I guess I did miss the correct time for the photo op and I will always be grateful to him for going above and beyond for me!

Sean came to my university school in Texas in 2018 or 2019. I still have videos recorded of that panel. That was the first time I saw him in person. I grew up with Dragon Ball in the 1990s and early 2000s during the legendary days of Toonami.

Sean probably has alot of constant pressure and is very introverted, so I think his social battery just deteriorates and with how big he is as goku's voice, He might just be used to high quality shit and expects the god treatment. I'm not sure, But someone else who met him said they had a bad experience and sean personally apologized to him, So I think he's just human like everyone else and just got too popular. Another thing, He Probably gets tired of being treated like a monkey at a zoo where you walk up and ask him to dance for you over and over and over again.

I saw Sean at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

From what I remember I asked him what it was like to be someone like Goku, what’s it like that so many people know you as this iconic character. I think he was about to leave because everyone was in Chris sabats line and the voice actor for master chief who I both wanted to meet lol, but Sean’s response is a bit foggy but from what his emotions where he was basically saying it’s an experience with mixed emotions. I didn’t ask for a picture mainly because he did look tired and technically I talked to him for free since like I said his booth was empty. Good guy over all

GOD FORBID I prefer the version of the series that's actually accurate and faithful to what the original creators made and not the version BUTCHERED by a bunch of complete amateurs in Texas a decade+ later who literally ONLY got the US distribution license for the series due to good ol' nepotism lmao

[@theblazingace3537]

​@@TheBigBlueBugofJusticeIf people keep saying "eltism" to you then you're probably one. I can't speak for Kai and it's changes but games/Super anime, the voice acting is great, if your issue is only Kai then sure but if you hate the entirety of DB dub then you're just an avg dub hater.

[@TheBigBlueBugofJustice]

@@theblazingace3537 Well, I guess a little English lesson is needed because being "elitist" means that I somehow think I'm better than dub fans because I love and prefer the Japanese version and despise the dub. Please, do show me where I said ANYTHING that would imply that. Go ahead. I'll wait. No... you, random internet denizen I'll never meet, love the dub? Good for you! Have at it!! But it's just an undeniable FACT that if you do watch the dub, at least in regards to the original three series, then you like a version that is EXTREMELY different than the original Japanese version. That's not being "elitist", that's simply RESPECTING what the Japanese CREATORS made. And I'm sorry, but FUNimation didn't CREATE a single solitary second of Dragon Ball. Toriyama and Tōei did. ALL of it. And yeah, sure... FUNi's Kai and Super dubs are far better than their DB, Z, and GT dubs because they stopped replacing the music, drastically altering the Japanese scripts, and... oh yeah, THAT'S IT. But 1) Super AND Kai are both completely godawful shows even in their original Japanese so I certainly have even LESS interest in their dubs, and 2) those dubs still use 99% of the same altered spellings, pronunciations, and straight up censorship (Bulla, anyone?) that they've been using for well over 20 years. And more important than that... sorry, but I don't find Kai and Super's voice acting to be so vastly "improved" when characters such as Vegeta, fat Boo, 1st and 2nd Form Cell, Butta, Jheese, Reacoom, Muten Rōshi, Gyūmaō, Kaiō-sama, Yajirobe, No. 16, Oolong, Mr. Satan, and so many others all still sound like complete and utter morons from a terrible 80s cartoon like He-Man or The Transformers. These voices (aside from Freeza, thank god), have not changed in 25 years, and the few who have actually somewhat "improved" are still more or less at the level they were circa 2003, which is average at BEST. But in regards to DB, Z, and GT? Those dubs are just unforgivably atrocious. Cheaply made, terribly voice acted, with horrifically unfaithful dialogue that tended to be INCREDIBLY immature and cringe, and (aside from DB) horribly unfitting, terribly composed replacement scores made by amateur "musicians". Those dubs are PRIME examples of how NOT to dub JAPANESE anime into English, and the further we get away from FUNimation's practices from between 1994 and circa 2009, THE BETTER. And again, if you think that ANY of that makes me somehow "elitist", then I don't know what to tell you except to pick up a freaking dictionary. It's one of those "don't hate the player, hate the game" situations. And if you LOVE the dub and somehow feel personally attacked when someone else despises how much it belittled the original, true version of the series that you feel the need to revert to weak ad hominem attacks, then that's YOUR problem.
