The fact they kept the name pronunciations right is already a great sign on how they're handling the dub

That's how Z was in the first two episodes before he opened up to Haruki. He wanted to sound like a serious warrior before his goofy personality shows up and became the norm with him.

We have casting details for other Ultras who appear in Z, Sean Schemmel as Zero, Kevin K Gomez as Geed, Jim Foronda as Taro and Patrick Seitz as Belial

Kevin Gomez (Riku’s English VA) got the toys needed to assume Galaxy Rising. That’s dedication to the role if I ever saw it. If Geed gets its own dub and he gets the Geed Riser and Capsules…

I can’t wait for the 23rd!!!

Taro has lines in Z?

He briefly shows up in Episode 6 in a flashback. The original Japanese episode simply reused Saburo Shinoda voice. So I’m assuming redubbed that.

I appreciate that they're subbing the OP and ED for the dub release now.

Updated Dub Opinions:

Juggler - I think Mick Lauer knocked it out of the park here. Honestly he sounds wayyyy more natural as Juggler than he does as Hebikura, which I guess makes sense though I feel like the JP sub handled it a bit more convincingly. All the same I could totally just hear him doing some of Juggler's lines in Orb, which left me happy.

Riku - He sounded like Riku to me, which is the best compliment I can give. At times it even felt like he was trying to imitate Tatsuomi Hamada's natural inflection as Riku. He did a good job capturing Riku's innocence, awkwardness, and determination, and he delivered his catchphrase phenomenally (I forgot he literally says it 3 times in one episode).

Also they went with how the JP side pronounce Belial which I think is different from how they pronounced it in the Ultra Galaxy Fight dubs.

Pega also sounded solid from what little we got with him.

Taro - I mean, he basically just says "Strium Beam" so it's really hard to gauge much from the performance, but he reminded me of Hiroya Ishimaru, so I guess that's a good thing. I kind of wonder if he'll get an opportunity to do more with Taro in, say, a future Ultra Galaxy Fight.

I've been really enjoying the dub so far. I hope whenever Tsubaraya releases BDs for Z they include both audio tracks.

Absolutely. They'd be fools not to. :rock:
