I knew I liked Pyre. Now I love Pyre. I almost even said Rytlock, and then I realized that you were talking about voice actors for GW characters. Then I did some thinking and some research and realized that he also did the voice for Rytlock, so now I love Rytlock that much more. Then I remembered he's also the male voice in Prophecies and Factions...

Let's not talk about those results though...

Did you just admit to watching a dub of Lucky Star? If I was on some other board, I would be telling you where you could go.

Well, this makes plenty of sense, but I certainly wouldn't have made the connection otherwise.

Apparently the Gadd and Puss correlation only applies to the Puss from the game. Allegedly different actors.

My, there are much more that are not that the typical shonen silly anime. There's a whole category called 'seinen'(Young Adult) in which many series are not like the typical thing 13 years old watch.
Great Teacher Onizuka is one example. It was even advertised as "No big eyes, No magic powers, No giant robots".
You should look around some more.

That doesn't change how dubs suck in series. Not only for anime. The Big Bang Theory loses most of its jokes when translated to Spanish, for example. I can't stand the voice the gave to Sheldon more than 5 minutes.
The only good dubs I've ever seen were all for video games.

Vekk's more recognisable as the guy that voices The Brain from Pinky and the Brain.

Speaking of GTO (which I absolutely love), the voice of Pyre was also the English voice of Eikichi Onizuka. I didn't actually know until I looked on IMDB (as I don't listen to dubbed anime).

Vekk is also Chief Quimby from Inspector Gadget! :O

Female character voices (EoTN) = a lot of female South Park characters (including Cartman's mum...). Now my mind IS blown o_O

Gwen is also Elika from the 2008 Prince of Persia game, and Ashe from Final Fantasy XII.

And Steve Blum's voiced like...everything ever.

Also, Rurik is the Prince from Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
