    The North American anime distributor has made its preliminary casting announcements for the Hetalia - Axis Powers anime via a video on the YouTube website on Wednesday. The English dubbing cast so far is as follows:


    Additional casting announcements for Russia, China, Japan, England, France, America, Germany, and Italy will be revealed over this and the next week — one actor per day — with English-language sample clips. Four of the nations/characters will also feature special bonus interviews with the creative team for the North American release of the series.
    The Hetalia anime series is an adaptation of Hidekaz Himaruya's web-based manga. After early controversy regarding the series' content, its TV airing was pulled in favor of a web streaming. The web series was popular enough for a second season to stream over summer of 2009 and a third this past March, along with an anime film that was released in Japan on June 5. FUNimation announced its license of the series this past January, and it will release the first season later this year.

    Update: Jerry Jewell will play Russia.

    Update 2: Funimation has clarified that Ryan Reynolds is not the Hollywood actor, but a voice actress who has worked with FUNimation before. This is her first recurring role with the company.

    Just saw the trailer. Fun Fun. ^_^





    I really don't have much in the way of complaints at the moment. i'll just have to take a while to get used to it. :O
     
    ...I'm sorry, but...

    I really can't get behind this. I don't like the dub.

    Then again, I'm heavily biased towards subs, so...
     
    I watched the clip that has France and Russia in it last night. :> I approve! The accents aren't so thick you can't understand them at all but you can still tell they're there and it definitely gives character. The only issue I had with the FR/RU clip they released was that their voices, aside from the accent, kind of sounded similar. XD;

    I've also seen people complain that they can't understand the accents. :( But I had no issues. I think I might actually buy these DVDs if only for the dubbed accents. It's everything I wanted from the dub. :D
     
    Rargh, I really want to see the videos, but stupid funi blocked them in Korea. Not fair. >_<

    I guess I'll just wait until someone uploads them illegally. X_X

    The Main Character's VA's names are released.

    But first the actual clip shown at Anime Expo (World Conference Clip):


    ​

    Russia is Jerry Jewell

    Germany will be voiced by Patrick Seitz.

    Japan is Christopher Bevins.

    China has just been revealed as Clarine Harp.

    England has been confirmed as Scott Freeman.

    Popular voice actor J. Michael Tatum has been confirmed as France.

    America is going to be played by Eric Vale.

    Well I've seen the clips and I am now starting to think that FUNI is trying to leave their personal mark to this series...the translation is not direct for example:

    Estonia: "Russia, you're so great do you want to pick a fight with Haiti?"

    LOLZ. XD
     
    My brother and I watched the conference clip together and lol'd pretty hard. These voice actors are perfect.

    I also lol at the fandom getting so worked up over this. All the "diehard original fans" are so butthurt about the new fans and the fact that the dub "sucks". The butthurt is delicious. 8)

    Well, it's all good.

    And that complaint has been there ever since the Anime came out, and new fans came in for the Fansubs. Seriously, that happens in all fandoms. I'd rather have a lot of people like something than being ridiculed for it. V____V

    Also, Germany:     "You may raise your hand, but not in a way that mocks my country's past."

    LOOOOOOOOLLLLLLZZZZZZ
