but anyway i would like to clarify my actual opinion of the bandori dub now that i've gotten the first impressions out of the way
do i think any of the voice actors are BAD voice actors? no, i said that myself many times. do i think they could've done better with casting? of course, but sometimes casting is REALLY HARD and you just have to make do with what you get.
like i said, i understand that a lot of the time it is difficult to match the energy and tonal pitches etc of a different language, especially when you have to have lip sync. that definitely makes things such as translation harder.
what i'm dismayed by is that some of the translation choices were just... Plain Bad Choices, that had way better alternatives that could've worked.
at the end of the day, i'm disappointed by the dub yes, but at the same time i don't hold a gripe with the voice acting. i'm more disappointed by translation choices.
i'm sure all the voice actors casted could probably hold their own and can be great voice actors, i think bandori was just something that was a bit more difficult to nail perfectly because some of the characters just have this unique energy to them
but i'm not going to lie to myself and say that i enjoy the dub. because really, i do not. however that doesn't mean i don't understand where they are coming from
