EP.213 - Voice Actor Recasting in Anime, Games or Drama CDs

Listen on

Episode notes

There is nothing like falling in love with the cast of an anime series, game, or drama CD and hoping that, when the time comes for an adaptation to a different medium, the cast remains the same.

We’ve grown to love those voices, the actors suit the characters or make the characters larger than life but then… we notice that, for example, the cast of a drama CD was completely replaced by a whole new cast in an anime adaptation.

Why do this? Why are voice actors replaced? It’s time to cover this and more in this episode.
