Really? You think they look alike? Hmmm.. Here's a refresher! /swoon What was I talking about? Oh yeah. Ah, what the hell... Yum.

Really? You think they look alike? Hmmm.. Well, actually, I was talking about how Ichijou and Aidou look the same because they both have blond hair. But, it's true that there are really only subtle differences between all these characters. Typical manga-ka... All so bishie and cute, etc. The evil uncle and the black-haired vamp hunter are hot MEN, though... Hey, I just figured out that "Akatsuki" means "red moon" in Japanese. I should have figured that sooner...

Typical manga-ka... Yes, when I think about it, that's about right. I've never had problems telling the two apart in the manga, but I can definitely see where the lack of obvious differences would come into play. DAMN I love VK!

Oh wow. those pictures melted my heart a bit. I loved them. <3
Lol I can tell the difference, but I love all of them! *hugs all the VK guys* lol!
Thanks to Troy, Kain has rapidly become one of my favorite characters. Though I'm sure Aido will remain my favorite though, but he's getting up there with Aido, Kaname and Zero.

Aidou is so stinkin' cute! But I tell ya, I love to see him get bitch-slapped by Kaname. I love the way both Troy and Junichi Suwabe say 'Hanabusa' at various points during the show. What a great name! As a side note, I wanted to name my next dog Hanabusa, but my husband insists we name him Ando. The dog we have now is named Hiro, so Ando was the next logical choice? Is anyone else sad they cancelled Heroes?

Is anyone else sad they cancelled Heroes? They canceled Heroes? I used to watch that, but quit a couple of years ago because it was getting very lame. But, I LOVE the name Ando, so, yes, you should totally name your doggy Ando. If I can ever get a golden Pomeranian, as I would like to, I'm naming him Ichigo after the Ichigo from Bleach (I'm a maniac for that manga!). Anyways, since I love blond men so much more now than ever before due to my infatuation with Sister from Arakawa Under the Bridge (u peeps gotta c dis animu!!), I can't help but love Ichijou now! I totally didn't pay any attention to him the first time I saw VK, back when it was airing on Japanese TV. He's not just cute and blond, but has a nice personality. Gotta have a good personality... But, Kain is just so much more rad than he was when Junichi alone voiced him, now that he's done by T'Roy as well (another nick name!). He sounds sexy and chocolately in BOTH versions!!

Yeah, they cancelled it. I totally wanna glomp Masi Oka!! What a cutie pie!
Bleach is another one of those shows I have to watch! I'm so behind! XD
I'm a tall, dark and handsome lover myself. The only blond that does it for me is Snow! lol

So, I'm watching disc 2 and comparing the sub to the dub. I have to be honest, if it weren't for Troy, Travis, and Vic, I'd rather watch the sub. Avy's right - Kaname's voice is so much more.... velvety and seductive in the original. I don't think the English VA's voice fits him at all. It's so opposite. And there's nothing particularly striking about anyone else in the dub, either, so it's kind of annoying - I've just been switching back and forth between sub and dub depending on who's talking at the time. XD

I just wanna watch all of the English version just to say that I have. XD
But yeah, Kaname's English voice? Nope. Nien. Uh-uh. WRONG all the way around. I'm glad someone else agrees with me. There's SO much depth to both Kaname and Zero's voices and it's totally lost in the English version.
Vic is growing on me though even though I didnt like him at first. Looking forward to hearing Travis! I <3 hearing him as Mori on Ouran.

Hey, I don't like the English dub voice of Kaname, either. You can include me that group. I'm not hatin' on him, or anything, but yeah, I agree that he's just not a good fit, in my opinion. They should let US, the fans decide on who gets what role, don't you think?? (lol) Vic is fine as Zero. He's easy to get used to, at least. Troy is pure perfection, as usual. He fits so well into just about any role he takes on, have you all noticed that? Same for Trav. I haven't heard him as the school teacher, yet, but I look forward to it BIG time, since I like that character. And, Trav always hits it out of the park, so I expect big sexy things from him, lol...

I agree. How much I hate to, because I love Vic so much. But the voices for those two, were just not right when compared to their Japanese velvety counterparts. =/ I'm just glad they didn't really miss up my Aido-kun! <3 And I wanna hear Travvy's voice in this series!! I didn't even know/remember he was in it! *is very excited to hear it now* Which character does Travis play?

I think the name of the character Travis plays is Toga Yagari, the new ethics teacher. The one with the eyepatch. ;D
The thing about Troy's part is that, after I'd seen the first 2 eps in the original Japanese, I already thought he was a perfect fit for the part. I think the jpva's voice was very similar to Troy's, and the character's look fits a voice like his perfectly anyway.
Still wondering about this "I'm the blond who always manages to get his shirt off", since I have yet to see that... (unless I just don't remember seeing it on disc 1, but nothing yet on 2 and I have only 1 ep to go.) ;D

(unless I just don't remember seeing it on disc 1, but nothing yet on 2 and I have only 1 ep to go.) ;D I don't remember his shirt being OFF really at all. OPEN, yes. Oh yes. All the time.... but off? Sadly I don't remember. That could all be due to my intense adoration for Kaname though. I agree with you, Neko that Aido's voice is a good match for the character. And I am looking forward to see what the chairman's voice sounds like once he's let his hair down. (If VK gets released that far before I am old and grey...) I like the Cross' voice 80% of the time in the english dub so far... I STILL firmly believe that Troy could have done Kaname. That won't change. Zero is younger and in spite of everything that has happened to him in his young life, he still should have the sound of youth... and even though I think Vic's rendition is a *bit* too young for Zero, he's totally grown on me. Travis' Touga Yagari is good. Very good. Noms. Travis' voice gets me hot under the collar too. *turns on the TV to watch some DVR'd FMA.......* Mmmmm Roy.
