A couple more people are confirmed (and denied!) for the IY English dub:

The new voices for Sesshoumaru and Kagome
Filed under: Random — Starks at 10:58 am on Thursday, September 9, 2010

Kirby Morrow reveals in a podcast with Trevor Devall that Sesshoumaru will be voiced by Michael Daingerfield (Johann – Gundam 00).

Some 18 hours later, Michael tells me in an email that Moneca Stori will not be reprising her role as Kagome and has been replaced by Kira Tozer. To the best of my knowledge, she has no experience in anime, but the clips of voice that I've heard are pretty good.

Thank you to Mugen for the tip about Daingerfield.

In: Richard Ian Cox (IY), Kirby Morrow (Miroku), Kelly Sheridan (Sango), Willow Johnson (Kikyo)

Out: David Kaye (Sesshoumaru), Moneca Stori (Kagome)

Current Mood: curious

Yoinked from

sesskagura:

David Kaye, Sesshoumaru's dub voice actor, confirmed at TFCon that he is not going to be reprising his role in The Final Act. Full details are here. Still no word on who will be replacing him.

I can't get the link to work (looks like the board is being slammed), but there have been rumors of this pretty much ever since talk of an English dub began, so I'm not terribly surprised :-/

David Kaye not voicing Sesshoumaru for Final Act dub
Filed under: Chapters — Starks at 12:21 am on Tuesday, July 20, 2010

In a move that should really surprise nobody, David Kaye announced at TFCon that he will not be reprising his role for Final Act.

Over the past few years, David has pretty much retired from anime voice acting on moved onto sports, moving to California in the process. This development is a bit disappointing considering his intention to be a part of the dub as per a statement last July at Mechacon and does not bode well for the participation of other VAs like Willow Johnson (Kikyou) and Moneca Stori (Kagome).

I don't sympathize with the now-screaming Sesshoumaru fanbase, but I will admit that David Kaye is a great VA who was vastly underused.

Edit: Kelly Sherridan (Sango) remains the only confirmed voice actor.

Current Mood: sad

Oh come on.

Seriously. There go my hopes for an extended ending to the anime! *facepalm*

( One hundred ways to die - SPOILERS )

Preview for the next episode: Naraku dies (finally), Kagome dreams, and Inuyasha despairs...

Current Mood: sleepy

Better late than never, eh?

( Naraku changes tactics - SPOILERS )

Tomorrow's preview: we're finally (almost) at the end ~ Naraku's poised to die, but the twists aren't over yet!

Oh, be still my beating shipper heart!

This is just a warning: if you aren't a Sess/Kag fan (or if you never understood where interest in the Sess/Kag dynamic comes from those of us who aren't in love with Sesshoumaru), just GTFO. Because I'mma gush. A LOT. A LOT A LOT A LOT.

Oh, and some Mir/San love, too <3

( An episode worth waiting for - SPOILERS )

Next week: The Inutachi falls for Naraku's illusions of Rin, including Sango - who makes a dangerous choice: her life for Miroku's.

Here's hoping they can keep up the good work!

Current Mood: giddy
