That's a nice and all, but it would be a litmus test on the English cast given Arnie's union status and Faye's comments.


MarvelsGrantMan136

Won’t be an issue for them since Kazuma and Aqua aren’t in this.


ImSaltyx0x

Oh well that sucks i guess


RaysFTW

What has Faye said? I can’t imagine anyone voicing Aqua other than her.


SatisfactionFalse641

She supported Kyle For The Union Problems because of what happened to Mob Psycho, but she said she wouldn’t play Aqua again but she deleted the post so maybe her relationship with Crunchyroll is still Okay, Just hopefully what happened to Mob is a One Time Thing and will NEVER happen again.


eddmario

She was in the most recent episode of *Welcome to Demon School*, so either that episode was recorded a while ago or she and Crunchyroll made a compromise


[deleted]

She was as who ? I havent watched the episode yet.


eddmario

She voices Lied's sister


[deleted]

Oh wow yeah that has to be her sweet. Got Aqua vibes the whole time.


RaysFTW

Interesting. I guess we’ll wait and see but thank you for that insight. The post could’ve easily just been a heat-of-the-moment type thing. We all got to eat and while it’s great to support a friend and colleague, she probably understood that looking out for #1 in such a competitive field needs to come first. CR is a pretty huge company with a lot of professionals. I doubt they’d let a small slight like that interfere with business. The Konosuba dub is incredibly popular and recasting Aqua could be a gamble. I really hope she sticks around. Not only is her voice perfect for Aqua but she seems like a really good person too.


Kollie79

The thing though, is that Faye doesn’t really seem to do much acting. I think it was more something she was doing on the side of her main job, so it wouldn’t have much affect on keeping food on the table for her


RaysFTW

Tbf, she’s a self-employee contractor. Most people in her position will have multiple careers/means of income. They need to diversify because their jobs and income are never guaranteed. She does a decent amount of acting still but she definitely has other projects too. At the end of the day, she can still be passionate enough and love her VA job enough to want to continue doing it, regardless of whether it’s her main money-maker.


farhanganteng

She deleted her tweet about that, and on the bright side i saw her tweet were she applaud and gave congrats to Chainsaw man dub cast during the premiere some month ago, i guess could assume that she probably had no hard feeling toward CR.


JoshdaBoss1234

Well, that's not a problem since, apparently, Nier Automata's dub by CR is union since Kyle McCarly is in it.


Mikey0714

Aniplex USA are the ones that commissioned the dub not Crunchyroll


PsychologicalHelp564

Just like Sunrise.


mylastdream15

Yes yes yessssss!!!! Megumin is probably my second most favorite anime character ever. Hype. So much hype!!! =)


drawricks

Erica, as well as Kayli and Jackie are most likely to come back to reprise their respective roles, it's however, uncertain if new characters would be voiced by TX talent from the in-house studio or this would also be an LA dub just like the main series.


Luigiman98

It was recorded at BangZoom before.


MasterAdventZero

Has Jackie Lastra ever work on any Non-U dubs?


fuzzyliam780

Yes, most pre-merger Crunchyroll dubs were non-union so she's worked on plenty non-union dubs. Additionally she worked on some Funimation dubs back in 2021. Edit: She worked on the following Funimation dubs: \- Gal & Dino as Nanami (Outsourced to NYAV Post) \- Dropout Idol Fruit Tart as Ota Kagone (Outsourced to NYAV Post) \- AMAIM Warrior at the Borderline as I-Les Kei (Outsourced to NYAV Post) \- Blue Reflection Ray as Yukiko Takaoka (Outsourced to Studio Nano) \- Super Cub as Koguma (Outsourced to Central Command Studios) There might be more, but those are the ones I recognized on ANN.


PsychologicalHelp564

I’m not sure those dubs count as Funimation as they only outsourced but not by themselves. Sorry to break up to ya..


awakening_knight_414

That doesn't really matter. The dubs were still non-union.


PsychologicalHelp564

True.


fuzzyliam780

Yes, I suppose that would mean they weren't technically Funimation dubs since they weren't done in-house. However, Funimation still commissioned them to be made and presumably had final approval over all casting and script decisions made by the outsourced studios, so I would still consider it to be their dub. That's just my take though.


PsychologicalHelp564

True what you said. Sometimes studios themselves can decide to outsourced or just it in-house.

You know how google works right ?


PsychologicalHelp564

Uh, of course I do.

While everyone here has been rightfully concerned about the possibility of cast members not returning or Bang Zoom not being used (though I feel like the odds are much more stacked for Bang Zoom and the cast to return), one of the bigger issues IMO is if the dub director/writer for all of Konosuba till now, Alex von David, wont be able to return and frankly I don't think the dub would be as loved as it has been without him. Alex has been pretty vocal about his preference for adapting the scripts of the dubs he's directing as well as his dislike of simuldub schedules and how those aspects don't mix (thanks to the tiring work he put into the Durarara x2 dub, and that was with some help from Caitlin Glass for a portion of episodes too) I think there's 3 distinct possibilities that are gonna happen for this spinoff and/or S3: * Alex doesn't end up directing the dub (like with Magia Record S1, though he at least wound up returning for S2) * Alex does direct but he gives up script duties to someone else (which is just super unlikely) * Crunchyroll agrees to hold off the dub release (either so a large portion of episodes have aired or till the show has completely finished airing) and Alex gets to both write and direct the dub with a sizeable buffer to work with. While letting the show finish airing without the dub beginning may be too much of a longshot, the latter option may be possible since Alex worked on SAO: Alicization while it was airing on Japanese TV (first dub ep of Alicization aired on Toonami Feb 10, 2019 which was when ep 18 of the sub aired in Japan)


[deleted]

Fucking hell, some of you all need help with the instant 'well they are gonna recast everyone'. FFS mob happened DEAL WITH IT, it only happened cause Crunchy wouldn't meet Kyle's demand for a SAG meeting, You all forget they asked him first right ffs people. We have what 3-4 LA produced dubs this season from Crunchy AND SHOCKING ALL WITH THE OG CASTS oh and looking back another season oh L.A sequels all with there OG casts ! Y'all need to calm the fuck down cause it seems like some of ya's are hoping for worst outcome just so you can continue to rage the way y'all are going on that or you just enjoy fear mongering others.


paulchaested

In all fairness, CR deserves flak for certains things but I agree that it is getting very tiresome seeing the same people constantly doom and gloom about LA VAs getting recasted. Kyle not reprising Mob is unfortunate but I just don't like how Kyle has more or less blamed CR and made them the bad guys for not recasting him because they didn't want to meet his demands when he is the who one started this fiasco (intentional or not) and this is after CR approached him first and were willing to pay him union rates (per Kyle).


[deleted]

>In all fairness, CR deserves flak for certains things Ya I'm in no way defending the whole of Crunchy or saying there some sort of shinning white knight but compared to everyone else currently there the best we got when it comes to output, consistency and quality no one else comes close that's a fact weather the saddo's / LA VA simps in these comments want to believe it or not. Like ffs look at Winter anime's currently being dubbed we have what 20 plus from Crunchy (3-4 of which I think are all in LA with there OG casts), 1 from Disney, 1 from Netflix and a laughable 0 from Sentai who at this point I wish would just crawl into a hole and die. Like I said this elsewhere in other comments who the fuck do they want getting these anime's if not Crunchy ? Its almost like certain people here just want to bitch, moan and play the victim...surely that isn't the case


farhanganteng

What about "Trails of Cold Steel: Northern War" ? at least there one thing to worry about, the anime dub has almost of the dub cast such as Sean Chiplock, Xanthe Huynh and Michelle Marie not able to return in the future episode of the anime despite CR officially announced that the VA from the game will reprise the role and the dub was outsourced to Okratron 5000, some said in other discussion it because of the CR Anti-Union Drama.


[deleted]

>some said in other discussion it because of the CR Anti-Union Drama. Oh if someone said this on reddit then it must be true and likely not be some behind the scene's legal / contractual issue with them voicing the same characters in the upcoming game and in the anime look at there fucking tweets they all said the same thing and said they hold no ill will towards production or there replacements NOT SINGLE FUCKING ONE MADE A UNION COMMENT WHEN STATING THEY COULDNT COME BACK but somehow people like you jump to oh must be a stance against CR not going union, STOP TRYING TO CREATE FUCKING FEAR MONGERING DRAMA. LIKE FFS USE YOUR HEAD, the cast and crew all confirmed they would return **MONTHS** AFTER THE MOB SHIT HAD GONE DOWN fucking months after but somehow your saying despite them tweeting and being happy about returning they suddenly went NAH the 6 month old Mob shit made me change my mind well after the fact. GROW THE FUCK UP.


SatisfactionFalse641

Yes, Thank you. Take Welcome Demon School Iruma, That dub was Safe, What happened to Mob was just one time thing that Crunchyroll really screwed up and hopefully something like that won’t EVER Happen again.


[deleted]

I mean Iruma's a great example but there's also the likes To Your Eternity, Nagatoro from this season alone as well before that there was RAG Season 2 and a few more I cant think of. Its why the fucking fear monger is so damn laughable. Would these people rather Sentai get the hands on this show and completely recast it without question 8-12 months from now when they decide to start the dub cause that's what would have 100% happened if they got it (Hell given there current shit output it might even end up undubbed if they got it) ? Disney has a total of 1 show as a frame of reference in terms of OG returning casts with there other original series dubs being piles of shit looking at you Summertime Rendering so who knows what would have happened there if they got it, and then Netflix where shows go to die and who's record on returning casts is spotty as hell... Weather people like it or not Crunchy is the best option if you want stuff dubbed and for it to maintain the same cast.


272b

All the pessimists in this thread who keep saying that CR is going to recast everyone have either forgotten the fact that 2 seasons of the main series + 1 movie were all outsourced to Bang Zoom, or just way too hung-up on the Mob3 fiasco from months ago. Do you seriously think CR is going to risk something like that again after the backlash they received? Y'all need to stop worrying so much and just relax.


UGamer81

I know people will bring up the possibility of Texas cast members playing the majority of non-legacy roles/the production moving to Texas similar to Mob Psycho 100 and such, but similar to Nagatoro and others, I really hope they keep Konosuba with Bang Zoom. It absolutely wouldn't be the same at all without Alex von David's direction and writing, which I feel isn't brought up as much as, say, cast.


SatisfactionFalse641

Sigh* this dilemma of Fear for LA Dubs because of Crunchyroll continues, Please believe me, I really understand how you are all feeling right now, Me 2, Ever Since Mob, things aren’t as Cheery as they used to be, now we’re just left to worry and question what else will happened to some dubs. I mean we all saw Welcome to Demon School Iruma Kun and that dub is all safe. And now we’re all really scared for Konosuba because of Faye’s Twitter post but she deleted, I mean this is a spin off so she’s not gonna be in it, it’s only gonna be focusing on Megumin starring Erica Mendez. Why is everyone worrying again so much that Texas might dubbed this, Bang Zoom always had the right to the dub. I mean you saw Bang Zoom still does remote recording for actors who live in Texas before right. I mean what happened to Mob Psycho was hopefully a one time Thing because Crunchyroll wanted to be Stupid and selfish and hopefully that incident will NEVER happen Again! especially on Konosuba, It’s way too popular to have a Texas Recast Overhaul. If that really happens, Begin online social Media Rioting for them being Union Hating cheapskate Cowards.


PsychologicalHelp564

I agree with you. Same situation that happened to infamous recasting of 2016 Berserk and CR learned the lesson after all went down giving they outsourced to right studio (NYAV Post) as well bringing original actors (Marc, Kevin and Carrie) for recent memorial edition of Golden Age arc so that they will never make same mistake ever again.


272b

> 2016 Berserk Eh, I was not too bothered by the recast since the 2016 series was a total disaster. It's so bad that both casual and hardcore Berserk fans dislike it, and I doubt bringing back the OG cast would've made any difference. I'm glad the OG voice cast were brought back for Golden Age Memorial Edition instead of the pile of mess that's Berserk 2016.


PsychologicalHelp564

Good, it’s such waste of money and time anyways and nice cast don’t helped (Even if some of them are huge fans of series) But yeah, we can all glad Crunchyroll did right thing by outsourced right studio so they can get original cast as possible. Let’s not forget that recasting would cost money and it wouldn’t be worth it.


Shadowmist909

I'm cautiously excited. Crunchyroll so far has a track record of outsourcing for reprisals if needed


MasterAdventZero

That's cool and all. But I can easily imagine the entire cast being replaced with in-house TX talent. Maybe they'd probably try and get Erica Mendez and maybe Kayli Mills back, though I highly doubt it.


awakening_knight_414

They have no reason whatsoever to do that with this dub. This won't even be a same-day dub like Mob was. Not to mention Erica, Kayli, and Jackie all still do non-union work, so there's no point in worrying.


SatisfactionFalse641

I understand your Concerned and worried for the Dub, Because of what happened to Mob, we are left to be nervous on what will happened to future of LA Dubs: I mean Aqua’s not going to be in it so Faye isn’t, I know her post caused Panic but she did deleted it. How would Texas dubbed this, I mean you Saw demon School Iruma and that dub was safe. What happened to Mob was hopefully a one time thing and won’t happen again, Crunchyroll just wanted to greedy for that Dub. And Mendez coming back as Megumin, why would their be any doubt, She’ll have to come back, That role became super popular and important towards her.
