I got some of the voices for Yu Yu. I'm sure there are plenty more than this though.

Yusuke (voiced by Justin Cook) - Lucky guy gets to be the star of the show. Let's hope he does well.

Kurama (voiced by John Burgmeier) - This is the gay character everyone was hoping would stay gay in the AS edit. From the looks of it he will. There has been no reports of a female VA.

Hiei (voiced by Chuck Huber) - Chuck is definitely one of FUNimation's, if not their best, better VAs. I have yet to be disappointed by his roles.

Kayko (voiced by Laura Bailey) - The girlfriend to-be. I think. Ah I'll watch it.

Kuwabara (voiced by Christopher R. Sabat) - Aw man. I was hoping the worst voice actor ever (called that by fans and co-workers) wouldn't make an appearance in this series. (sigh) So much for that.

Okubo (voiced by Kyle Hebert) - He plays no major role. He's one of Kuwabara's friends.

Atsuko (voiced by Kara Edwards) - Another minor role. Not much known here.


I'll post more when I find them ;) .

I don't expect a good dub since it happens to be by whats arguably the worst dubbing company out there. We'll probably not have that stupid dialogue like 'mondo cool' and 'whatever turns you on big boy', but there's still all those ridiculous voices.

I am surprised that Sabat isn't voicing all the male characters like in DBZ though :p

It's just that their biggest hit, Dragon Ball Z, has arguably the worst dub. Blue Gender has one of the best DVD releases ever, even above Cowboy Bebop! The dub is pretty good, not better than Bebop's, but there are so many extras, like the ability to use Japanese language openings, English language openings, and clean openings. It also features tons more extras, more than any Bebop DVD could give. But since it's the dub we'll see, it's near perfect translations like Bebop, I'm just worried about the voice cast. I don't know what they're supposed to sound like or what they will, but that's the only thing I'm not sure they'll do well.

Aw come on! It can't be any worse than the dub of Sailor Moon! Remember these?
"Bored to snores"
"Mash you into meatloaf"
"I have to tell Lita that he's a PLAYER!"
"A bad case of the blahs"
"Wicked cool"
"Wassup, girlfriends?"

Those are mondo cool. "Whatever turns you on, big boy," from Sheamon, is hilarious.

I'm a new fan to anime, seeing "The Grave Of The Fireflies" recently and consistantly enjoying Cowboy Bebop. I just hate the fact that DBZ is much more generally loved than Cowboy Bebop... well, perhaps it's the fact that it currently airs at midnight on Sunday.

Argh! He's not gay! That's just some fangirl's over active imagination, like with the GundamW boys.
