>>53987925I really hope they do. I still think there are some legitimately bad VA castings from TPCI that weren't recast (Lillie, the Rotom Dexes in both SM & JN, and Lana to name a few), though.
There's a problem with the vocal direction, all around, it needs work. And they need to get rid of Ed Goldfarb and keep the OST, and now that JCC is going (fuck that it's because of cancer though: I wanted him replaced on lack of merit not because of severe illness, hope he recovers from it though). Horizons is a chance for them to join the 21st century of dubbing, I hope they do. This isn't the 1990s-early 2000s anymore, but they're stuck in that form of dubbing.
