[size=20]FUNimation Explains “High School DxD BorN” Casting Changes[/size]
New season will feature Josh Grelle and Kelly Angel, replacing Scott Freeman and Teri Rogers in the roles of Issei and Akeno

Following the fan response to the weekend news that the English dub of the new season of High School DxD will feature Josh Grelle and Kelly Angel, replacing Scott Freeman and Teri Rogers in the roles of Issei and Akeno, FUNimation has updated their post with a statement about the change.

FUNimation is running English-subtitled and dubbed simulcasts of this season’s High School DxD BorN (Season 3).

They wouldn’t have got such hostility if they’d come out with this right away, instead of doing the cast changes without explanation. Next time, do better Funimation.

So does this mean that they won’t be dubbing the show at all? Did they quit voice acting?

If they’re out, so am I, as this season of DxD has been lackluster and the Broadcast Dub has been weak.

This post and this post seem to indicate that Teri Rogers has been inactive for a while.

Nothing really mentioned about Scott Freeman.

While BorN was disappointing as compared to S1 and S2, It was still pretty good, even though they dropped the ball on following the LNs this Season.

If only Funimation had discovered Matt Mercer’s talent for ecchi shows in time for this. Grelle might sound similar to SF, but he didn’t bring the same talent.

By the way just got this in the mail.

Only extras included are the 6 eps OVA shorts (5 min / episode) and the trailers (Textless OP and ED are standard anymore so not mentioning them after this)

No Episode commentaries, and I’m assuming it’s because they would have had to deal with all the dub casting controversy surrounding this season.

I wonder what, if anything, was different from the broadcast dub.
