I think Americans should take a page out of that book.
I really am sick of extraordinary little boys...
Gundam 08th MS Team. Watch it. The hero is 24 years old, and isn't a super awesome pilot by any means (but he still kicks some ass). Probably the best Gundam show ever. |

On the weekend I lent out Season 1 to a friend of mine. He's seen a lot of anime, so this should be fresh material for him. I suggested to him that the English voices are terrible and he laughed and said he usually watches anime in Japanese with English subtitles since that's a common problem.

 Seriously, why do people keep saying this. The English voices are great, the Japanese ones are monotonous and without character. |

The English voices are great, the Japanese ones are monotonous and without character. ...because the English voice actor who did Roger makes him sound like a geeky 20-year-old kid just out of college. The Japanese voice sounds like the voice of an experienced, confident man who is regularly involved in complex negotations between powerful parties. As for monotony, I just don't see that...or rather I don't hear that. In the end, it's personal opinion. But I'm still right! <smile> TV |

Blum isn't the only VA, though (although I... really can't see him as being a bad VA. Hear him, rather, but perhaps I've got kid goggles still about cartoons -- I probably always will, actually), there's also Michael McConnohie, and with him the best cartoon laugh since Hamill's Joker.
And I'm partial to Alex too, even with his "my big, my dome" speech.

The only problem that I have with Stephen Blum is that he was in every cartoon, commercial, and game that came out in a 2-year period.

I caught him a few times on Battlefront II, that was weird.

Blum seems to be popping up in Seven Eleven commercials again, as well.
In my opinion, he did a stellar job as Roger Smith, but he is a bit overused, even if it's just one-line supporting characters.
