Bebop=.hack?

Tsunami the Silver Dragon · Thu Jan 01, 2004 6:50 am

I just started playing my .hack series again (I logged in EXACTLY as it hit the new year just for a laugh) and when I met Blackrose and heard her voice these were my exact thoughts: (Blah, blah, blah huh? What the? Her voice sounds familiar. Wait! It can't be! Oh god, I think it is. She sounds like Fay.)

Then I came up with this little pattern:

Julia (from Cowboy Bebop) = Helba

Fay (Cowboy Bebop) = Blackrose

Spike (Cowboy Bebop) = Wiseman

So, this is my question. Exactly how many people from Cowboy Bebop are in this?

Sorry, if this is a waste of everyones time and I posted it in serious discussion because I couldn't make up my mind about whether it should be here or in general discussion.

Well... I'll put it simpley.... ALOT... Dubbing companies tend to use their voice actors over & over.... Interesting how that happens... (all of Digimon's english voice cast is in Love Hina ._.;;; )
Good observation, but pretty much everyone already knew that....

Sometimes, well most of the time it annoys the hell out of me when they do that. That's why I prefer watching every and all anime in Japanese. I really don't like hearing one person do several characters unless they can change their voice so it's completely different for the next character. Nevertheless I think they should just have a different actor for each different character.

Hayashibara Megumi actually changes her voice entirely.. & sometimes it's really hard to tell her characters apart.. she's one of the most successful seiyuu at changing her voice like that.

>_> <_< Well, wasn't he talking about using completely different seiyuu?

Megumi-san, as mentioned, is really well at changing her voice.

American VAs, though, sometimes don't do that... Bandai is a good example of those VAs e_e; And it gets really old, really fast.

I spend a lot of time playing .hack thinking this...

"Hey, that sounds like Izzy. And that sounds like BlackWarGreymon. Omigod, that's Geckomon's voice. That person sounds like Sora..."

._.;

Ever notice that the person who does Kite sounds exactly like the person who does Kite from Trigun(in the two sand steamer episode things)? ._.;;;

Maybe one can get away with playing two different Kites...

Random note: The name of the person who plays Blackrose and Faye is Wendee Lee. ._. If I didn't pay any attention to the credits, I wouldn't have known this, I've always had it on Japanese(thank god)...

x_x Same name, same voice actor. Strange coincidence.

Yeah, I noticed it. Another point of intresest (maybe) is that the same person (or at least a person who has exactly the same voice) plays the voice of Musashi in the game "Brave Fencer Musashi" (but I'm still better with a sword then he ever could be).
