FUNimation has Hetalia?

[arthoniel]

So apparantly FUNimation has APH. Which is awesome. If anyone was going to dub Hetalia, my preference would be that it's FUNimation. I just wish that I could be working on it too...

But. Being the voice actor obessed fangirl that I am... here's how I'd cast it:

N. Italy- Todd Haberkorn (Hikaru Hitachiin- Ouran High School Host Club, Allen Walker- D.Gray-man, Watanuki... uh... I don't remember his last name. But from xxxHOLiC)
Germany- Travis Willingham (Takashi Morinozuka- Ouran High School Host Club, Yuu Kanda- D.Gray-man)
Japan- J. Michael Tatum (If this really surprises any of you, you don't know me very well) (Kyouya Ootori- Ouran High School Host Club, Komui Lee- D.Gray-man, William totally-not-Shakespeare- Romeo X Juliet, Domeki... screw it, I don't know last names in xxxHOLiC)

America- Chris Burnett (Romeo- Romeo X Juliet)
France- John Burgmeier (Shigure Sohma- Fruits Basket, Tetsuya Sendo- Ouran High School Host Club)
England- This is the biggest stretch, but Eric Vale (Fff. I'm not even gonna start listing everything I know he's been in. Most notably though, Yuki Sohma- Fruits Basket and Fransisco- Romeo X Juliet)
China- Caitlin Glass (Haruhi Fujioka- Ouran High School Host Club)
Russia- Possibly the biggest surprise here, but Vic Mignogna (Tamaki Suoh- Ouran High School Host Club, Edward Elric- Fullmetal Alchemist... and I'm gonna stop there. I couldn't even think of listing everything he's been in)

What do you guys think?

You know I agree! I'm really looking forward to see who they are going to announced.

I think they said it's coming out late 2010...so the list has to be out soon.

Late 2010? Fff... I need to go see these things for myself. I need to go to the website soon... XD

And thanks~ I'm glad you like my list. XD

I like the list! Especially Vic as Russia, though I can see him as being Canada as well. But... I'm a die hard Vic fan. lol! I'd be happy to see his name in the credits as "Random guy yelling at Austria". Speaking of Austria... I wonder who would be good in that role.

Eric Vale does seem to be a bit of a stretch, but he's a pretty varied voice actor role wise. When I read that he played Yuki, alarm bells went off in my head, but he's played some pretty non-Yuki type roles as well, so I'll keep an open mind. XD

And I wonder if they'll cast Maxey Whitehead as anyone. She seems to be something of a rising star at Funimation. She seems to mostly play young boys, so I wouldn't be surprised to see her cast as Sealand.

And Todd Haberkorn as Feliciano is something I need to see. All the roles I've seen him in have been pretty serious. But if he can pull off Death the Kid's OCD induced random outbursts as well as people say he can, I don't doubt he'll be a great Northern Italy.

It also appears I need to go back and watch the dub for RxJ to see how Chris Burnett sounds...

Your list is most satisfying, I must say! Hopefully Funimation has all of your casting insight, because this seems to be a pretty all-star line up. I like it! XD

Haha, thank you! I'm glad you approve~ I just wish I could have been in it too... but, well, yay being of high school age. XD

Funnily enough, another friend of mine posted his cast list--it's a shame Kyle's not around to be America, but I think Sonny Strait could totally pull the role off.

You know, now that you mention it, that could totally work too... huh.
