What Voice Acting in Anime is Like 2

"I have regrets for choosing this voice" Who could have expected the talking lobster with machine guns for hands that appears in one fight where he guards a door and then passes out would come back to realize his own humanity and try to make amends for his crimes by reuniting a young girl with her mother? Togashi expected.

The long awaited sequel. Starring Joe Zieja as Chris Pratt He’s so cool

[@nategwright]

Well done Joe, “I Want to Take Out Your Liver and Use it as Wall Art Before Sneezing Out the World!!!” is much more up-to-date anime titling than the antiquated “Code: Exedellius Fortana Type: Zero; Curse of the Zero Nexus Daybreak Cycle: Zero” Edit: Needed more exclamation points and colons

[@dr.donkey5427]

I love how Joe basically just uses his normal voice for Claude

It's the beard's false. There are young/below middle age men irl who growth long beard and look like ww2 veteran.

[@lucasdellamaggiore]

You actually voicing the lobster killed me. By the way, will the voice of Claude show up in the new Xenoblade?

[@darkstorm2579]

Most likely not. Nintendo of Europe tends to do the localization of the Xenoblade games. That’s why 1 and 2 have a variety of accents with their characters. I’d be surprised if they used American voice actors for this.

[@darkstorm2579]

Also, even if Joe was hired for the new Xenoblade game, he wouldn’t publicly announce it due to NDA.

[@lucasdellamaggiore]

@@darkstorm2579 I'm just teasing, but even then, some characters have American VAs, Sena is one of them, so Joe being in it isn't completely out of the question.

[@somebodyyoudontknow3980]

Dear god, the bit about Bloster the Lobster sent me. It reminds me of the story I heard that the Brazilian Portuguese dub of DBZ had the VA of Vegeta be told "Eh, this guy won't be around long, just do your normal voice", cementing a main character as being entirely too casual and tonally out of place for the entire series.
