I can be happy with anybody's voice-over if they can just do a good job acting the part. I think Vic's Zero will grow on me because he's a good actor, but I'm not sure about the guy doing Kaname's voice. Troy rocks it every time! I want to see him do some characters in some animes I love that haven't been licensed yet. He'd be perfect for Sakata Gintoki from Gintama, Sister from Arakawa Under the Bridge, and Tsuruga Ren from Skip Beat! Make it so, Troy-ness...

^^I know, wouldn't it be?? Troy could play a 20-year-old, since he did Snow in FF13. Oh, man... Ren is just ridiculously hot and who else can sound JUST right, other than Troy?

I'm planning on renting VK from Netflix since I'm addicted to it (Netflix, that is), even if I have to wait a while for it to get off of a wait list. They won't actually have it available until this Tuesday, but surely, as usual, I'll have to wait a while till enough people are done renting it. Oh my. I ... actually have the VK DVD from Netflix sitting in my DVD player as I type this. I just watched it today. It wasn't enough. XD I'll send it back ASAP! I wonder when the next set of episodes will be available from Netflix... I might have to give in and get them from iTunes - Unless the Playstation Store has them all downloadable on my PS3 before I can no longer resist the darkside (and the blood sucker of a program that is all it's own... but I digress.) I ADORE the JP version of VK. Daisuke Kishio's Kaname reduces me to a quivering mess -- I downloaded the Drama CD and I have no idea what he's saying on it, but I don't care -- so I was like when I heard the english voice actor. I don't have anything against the voice, it just is NOT suited for the role. I am getting used to Vic's Zero even though he doesn't sound angsty enough sometimes. I can't say anything that hasn't already been said about Troy's Akatsuki. It's perfection. I would have loved to hear him voice Kaname though... (Speaking of quivering messes.)

hhaa I think Troy's voice would've been good for Kaname, Zero or Kain, or any deep voiced character. lolol he just has that type of voice. But I'm getting used to Kaname and Zero's new voices, and it's not entirely life-threatening... lol
But I do agree, both the english voice actors of Kaname and Zero aren't deep or sexy enough? lol I don't know how to describe it. These two guys are very deep and mysterious and their voices don't show that as much in English.
But, needless to say I love it all the same, because it is one of my favorite series. ^_^

Yeah.... the english acting lacks a certain..... je ne sais quoi... Vic is cute as a friggen button and can be a certain type of sexy (mmm Ed), but neither voice is as smouldering as it should be - I might not know Japanese, but some sounds/inflections are universal... Actually I think that Travis Willingham would have made a good Kaname as well. Zero is young, impetuous and still a bit cocky, so I am able to be ok with the youthfulness of his voice in the English version, but let's turn the angst up, kthx. Whereas Kaname is the very definition of ancestor with all his quiet patience, dark plans and wealth of the most forbidden knowledge and as such needs a voice that is satisfyingly sexy deeply mysterious and multi-faceted. It's probably better for my sanity that our Mr. Baker is Akatsuki and not Kaname...

No sadly, I haven't been very good at keeping up with the Manga, but I really want to. I just haven't given myself the time to. (My friends suddenly consider me their life line and I must be around them more often... XD)
Yeah, not all of them obviously, but this much, for this kind of dark show, is very... very... maybe... I don't know how to describe it! this is so annoying! lolol!
sdkfhskdjf Travis. I wanna meet him - and hear more of his work. he has an excellent voice and I would've loved to hear it somewhere in Vampire Knight (a main character if he is in it at all...) - Kaname would've been nice, but I think too familiar, like Vic sorta is for me. that's probably the only problem I have with Vic doing Zero - otherwise the tone could grow on me. =]
hahahhaa completely agree. I might go sexy-insane if Troy were to do Kaname... @_@!

I really am so happy Troy is Kain because I don't even like Kaname all that much. Kain is way cooler, in my opinion. I like Zero (I keep calling him 'Nero' because he looks and acts just like Nero from Devil May Cry, lol!). But, Zero can't be voiced by a guy like Troy with such a deep register.
Johnny Yong Bosch would have been a good choice for Zero, but, again, his link with Nero from DMC would have been THAT much more obvious. It would crack me up every time if Zero opened his mouth and out came some sarcastic, cocky 'Nero' quips, lol! At least with Vic, I can take his character more seriously, which I'm supposed to do...
I finally got my Netflix DVD of volume 1 today in the mail and have already watched the first 4 episodes. Troy really is the BEST cast for his part, and acts the part the best. The second best, I think, is whoever does Ichijou. That guy gets his personality down really well. The headmaster is cast really well, too. I wonder who will play the hot, black-haired vampire hunter who comes in a bit later on? I forgot his name after all this time...

Toga Yagari? I do believe it's Travis Willingham voicing him.
Nero and Zero. Besides rhyming, I can totally see the two of them with the same voice. And I really don't know how I should feel about that. I mean Kyrie isn't exactly the brightest bulb and neither is Yuki...Why am I finding simularities between the two?
Anyways. Kain will always be my favorite, specially with Troy voicing him.

I believe Ichijou is done by Vic Mignogna too. XD
funny story, right?

I knew he did Ichiru as well as Zero, but Takuma's VA is listed as someone else. Takuma is my fave minor vampire.. His voice seems good at times, but a little off in others.... over all good though.

The names are too similiar. Ichijou...Ichiru...Close enough.
Well not really but still. I really want to watch more of the show....

Yeah, you have to keep their names straight. Ichijou and Ichiru. Also, Ichijou and Aidou LOOK almost exactly the same, so there's more confusion ensuing!
I want to keep on watching, too, but I don't want to buy them from iTunes. I'd rather rent from Netflix, since it'll cost half as much, and I won't have to commit to owning it. I own only 2 different anime titles (but, several volumes worth) because I only buy what I know I will watch over and over and over again...
