The Kickstarter for Escaflowne is going strong! We’re excited to start revealing the updated cast list and we hope you feel the same way too. Little by little, we’ll be revealing cast members so keep your eyes glued to this blog in the meantime.
Our first cast announcement for the new Escaflowne dub is for Van Fanel who will be played by (drumroll) Aaron Dismuke (Fullmetal Alchemist‘s Alphonse and Blood Blockade Battlefront‘s Leonardo Watch)!
Update: Hitomi will be played by voice actress Caitlin Glass! Caitlin’s numerous popular voice acting credits include Winry from Fullmetal Alchemist, Haruhi from Ouran High School Host Club, and Kyoko from Danganronpa, and Petra from Attack on Titan.
Stay tuned for more upcoming English cast list announcements coming soon!
I’m going to go in with 0 expectations for the new dub because I end up disappointed a majority of the time.
Seems promising! I’m sure Aaron Dismuke won’t disappoint!
I’m already interested! 🙂
I haven’t seen the original dub in so long anyway a new dub isn’t going to effect the quality for me. Can’t wait to check it out.
I still have my VHS copy of this and would be too weird to hear new voice actors playing the parts.
I hope Bryce Papenbrook, Matthew Mercer, Vic Morigian, Kyle Hebert, Johnny Yong Bosch, and Chermai Leigh make it to this redub.
Don’t you mean Vic Mignogna? Am I the only one that knows how to spell his name right?
So far here are the voice actors that has been announced.
*Aaron Dismuke as Van
*Caitlin Glass as Hitomi
*Alexis Tipton as Merle
*Sonny Strait as Allen
*Colleen Clinkenbeard as Millerna
*Eric Vale as Dryden
I can’t wait to find out the full cast.
