Persona (anime franchise)

Is this the cast is Yuri Low in it? Did Freeman voice any of the characters?

Itā€™s good to see them able to get all the cast back. Iā€™m just curious who will providing the dub. I imagine it will be Bang Zoom, but we canā€™t say for certain yet.

Itā€™d be them or PCB Productions. There is one other choice but Iā€™m not sure so donā€™t think Iā€™ll post it.

Yeah, I couldnā€™t reminder the name of the studio that had dubbed the games. But since Sentai had ready announced they were getting the game cast back ahead of the actors actually being contacted, and considering their existing relationship with Bang Zoom, I figured they would be the most likely. Plus they are having a really quick turn around time with this one, so I think someone theyā€™ve worked with recently would be more likely.

Allegedly ADV used PCB in the past, so I guess anything is possible.

The only other option I can think of is Amanda Winn-Leeā€™s Studio I canā€™t remember the name of at the moment.

NYAV Post also has LA recording studios, so I guess thatā€™s a possibility as well. Iā€™m definitely leaning towards Bang Zoom. I would give them some major props of they used PCB though.

For those that donā€™t read the slate threads, it starts coming out in Sept.

Iā€™m a little surprised that the PR didnā€™t make a big deal about the cast returning, nor mention who would be dubbing it. That was noted prominently for Mahoromatic Iā€™m Home, Rozen Maiden, and K-On!!.

Since they got the Directorā€™s Cut of Ep. 01, I wonder if this means weā€™ll see the Directorā€™s Cut of Ep. 25 next set.

ADR Director and Script writer is Kristi Reed:

Confirmation that Johnny and Yuri have reprised their roles, as well as Sam Riegel playing the role of Teddie.

I was really hoping for an English commentary, hoping against hope, but Iā€™d gladly accept the lack of a commentary if Bang zoom steps up its game in regards to dubbing. Fate Unlimited was a workable dub, but it was no where near the quality of an ā€œin houseā€ dub by Sentai. The tragedy was that Iā€™ve heard many of the actors involved in Fate Unlimited deliver stellar performances when theyā€™ve worked with other studios. Kinda makes bang zoom the obvious culprit.

Cmon Bang zoom, pick up the quality on this release so I donā€™t pick up another sub par dub with Sentaiā€™s name on it.

So will Johnny Yong Bosch be voicing Adachi, Yu Narukami, or both?

Currently, it is unknown as to if heā€™ll do both or just one.
Iā€™m thinking one or the other will get recast, as it would be rather awkward listening to him talk to himself.

I think heā€™ll play both, and since itā€™s been years since I played the game, I donā€™t remember if he just used his regular voice for both or tweaked it for the other, then thatā€™s what heā€™ll do. And really, it only makes sense to do both since

since they both have the same Persona and in a way are mirror images of each other.

What I wonder is whether Sentai, if they decide to dub it, will again use JYB and Bang Zoom for Legend of the Heroes OVAā€™s.

Yesterday I watched the final episode, canā€™t wait to see the ā€œtrue endingā€!
