Did anyone watch the first English Dubbed episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable? I just saw some clips online, and I unfortunately have to say I'm not super impressed with some of the voices. I was hyped up when it was announced that DIU was going to premiere on Toonami. As someone who just finished watching the sub DIU, and the final season of Stardust Crusaders dubbed, I had high hopes for an English "DORARARARARA!".
Don't get me wrong, some of the voices are fine. Matthew Mercer as Jotaro is a delight as always, but what gets me is Josuke's voice. Normally speaking, Billy Kametz does a nice enough job as Josuke, matching his relaxed and quick tempered personality, but as Crazy Diamond (Or Shining Diamond in the English format), he doesn't match Yuki Ono's intensity. He merely yelled "DORAAAAA!" in an almost emotionless tone during the fight with Star Platinum. I guess it's because he's a new voice actor and he doesn't quite know how to stretch his vocals to that level, so he's forced to just go with "DORA" or "DORAAAA".
Other than that, I have no problems with the Dub of Diamond is Unbreakable. I just hope they improve on the voice work a little bit.
