so here is Ruin's Official Unofficial Dub Voice Critique/Masturbation/Speculation
JOTARO - Matt Mercer was a fantastic choice for Jotaro, in my opinion. My ideal was Travis Willingham, but Mercer manages to get Jotaro's pseudogeniune badass ways. His voice is little bit higher than what I would expect, but that in turn does make Jotaro sound younger and thus, closer to his actual age. It's a give and take, I suppose, but one I'm not opposed to. Also, Patrick Seitz does a good ORA (as I'm certain that was him as Star Platinum, if not then Mercer does a better ORA than I would assume of him, heh). A solid A-, in my book. Maybe even an A.
JOSEPH - Richard Epcar is, in as few words as possible, FUCKING AMAZING AS JOSEPH. He managed to hit all the right notes and just get everything about Old Joseph right. I can hardly verbalize everything that I loved about Epcar's Joseph, and that is the sign of a good cast, in my opinion. OVERDRIVE. Fuckin' A+
AVDOL - WHO IS THIS MAN?! Seriously, I can't a proper read on him at all. I'm gonna assume Paul St. Peter, but I can go about that objectively, obviously. Whoever this is, they gave Abdul a very smooth voice that I definitely didn't expect, but I thought it worked really well. Some of his lines were a little awkwardly read, but it was nothing gamebreaking or really bad. I was most impressed by his bit about meeting Dio in Cairo, personally. Overall, I'd give him a solid B or B+, with a solid foundation, but still room to improve.
KAKYOIN - He's no Liam O'Brien, but Kyle Hebert's Kakyoin managed to really surprise me with how he managed to hit a lot of good notes. He definitely got Kakyoin's general feel and mannerisms, my only really complaint is his EMERALD SPLASH, but that's pretty minor in my opinion. Yells are a general weakpoint in english dubbing, I find, so I'm more forgiving towards stuff like that. Also, slightly unrelated, but I like and dislike the way they translated Kakyoin's line about Holly. The jojo's fanbase ran the Milfhunter Kakyoin joke into the ground, but I still get a laugh about it in the context of that line, so making it a little more vague and slightly less creepy is understandable. Solid B.
DIO - THE GLORIOUS RETURN OF SEITZCULA! *ahem* Seitz was a good pick. Like, a really good pick. He just sounds like Avdol put it. Disturbingly sensual and all that. Eerily smooth and calming. Like a kind of malevolent butter. A+
POLNAREFF - We heard like two words but I think it's Doug Erholrz and I think we'll get a good performance out of him. TBG, I guess.
YEAH
DUBS AND SHIT
