Amanda Winn-Lee / amandawinnlee / painkillershopping - IRL Friend of Brianna Wu. Professional Voice Actress. Giant Politisperg. Psychopath.

The only dubs I personally remember as a part of my childhood are questionably localized "buy these fuckin' toys" and Toonami things, moreso the former. I'm the plebiest of plebs.

Didn't even know AWL voiced the boobie Kitty Pryde clone, even though I watched the R.O.D OVA on Adult swim
 
But stop at the original manga (iirc Dark Horse released four giant omnibus volumes about a decade ago), Gunsmith Cats Burst is fucking shit

Oh really? Never did read Burst but I was always curious about it, that's a shame if it sucks.

The only two things I know her from is just P4 and Evangelion. Both of which I don't care for in English so, tough titty.

P4 is her only relevant role in over a decade, is it not?

She's not a great actress overall, but she can be proud of Rally Vincent and Miss Deep at least.

Just remember her being part of that ADV crowd in the 90's along with Spike Spencer,Tiffany Grant and so on that dubbed every single anime with the exact same voices over and over. I actually preferred British dubs in the 90's just for some variety and personality in voices.

It was the same way with ADV in the 2000s too, every single dub was from the same pool of actors, not all the actors were in everything, but it was all the same group, hell I'd be willing to bet Andy McAvin was in literally every single thing they dubbed.

But they didn't necessarily do a bad job, although of course it got repetitive, I'd say the best dub of that era would be Rahxephon.

But that's a big part of why the dub for the Read or Die TV series is my all time favorite dub, because the people they cast rarely appeared in anime, making it very unique and if you love British accents, watch out, because it had them, in fact the actress that voiced Yomiko in the TV series went on to be Bayonetta.

I so wish the TV series had aired on Adult Swim, instead it aired on G4, which is how I first saw it, but Adult Swim had a wider audience and if it had aired there it would probably be considered an all time classic today instead of forgotten.

Oh I'd marry a British accent, If I could take a British person's voice in some sort of Little Mermaid style magical way and marry it I would. I don't need the person, their voice giving me that sweet sweet ASMR would be enough.

Well, you'd love R.O.D The TV then.

Ever play Saints Row 4? The actor that played alien villain dude in SR4 is in it also.

I'll need to give it a watch. I remember it existing way back but I never saw it for one reason or another. I probably wouldn't have watched the dub anyway because I think it came out when I was going through my "I only watch in Japanese!" phase.

Hope you give it a shot, it should be remembered as a classic alongside other hit series, but it just sadly never quite reached the audience it should have.

And I would say it's a rare instance where watching it dub simply makes more sense, given the British characters in the story, same deal with Hellsing which not coincidentally was dubbed by the same studio and shares many of the same actors and actresses.
 
Okay, in Amanda Winn-Lee's defense, just watched some of the NGE Netflix dub and its...terrible for lack of a better word. The actors are flat and bad (for many lines, Shinji literally sounds like a little girl, not a woman trying to sound like a boy, just straight up like a girl) and its apparently a straight up 1-to-1 translations of what is said in Japanese, and there is a reason localization teams don't do that. So when she says they should have just used the old dub or at least brought back the old actors, on that, I at least agree with her.

Apparently Shinji's new VA is some troon.
 
Shinji's VA in the Netflix dub has gotten complaints because they'll switch from sounding masculine to feminine. Hiring a troon actually is a problem.

Wow. Thought nothing would come of it because Maddie Blaustein was a thing (in questionably localized buy these fuckin' toys shows), but that definitely seems like a problem.
 
I miss Maddie Blaustein. That said I don't think Shinji's new VA being a troon is the problem with the new NGE dub.

I wasn't exaggerating.

The natural way Progressives work means Entryism is a religion to these people. Democrats have been complaining about that shit for years because it's how they managed to take over basically every left-wing community on the internet. Correspondingly, it's also why they dominate the cultural space despite provably being hated by most of it.

See, the Progressives know they're not as numerous as they like to pretend. They can't win any battle of public opinion fairly, because there isn't enough of them. They're not numerous, just loud, and because of that, they rely on institutional power structures to work their angles, since they will never actually have a mandate to do so otherwise.

The cycle is simple enough: Progressives naturally feel an ideological adherent is inherently superior to a nonebeliever regardless of other qualifications, so they quickly appoint cronies once in a position to do so. They then work at appointing more and more, to higher and higher positions, until they've spread like a cancer throughout an organization's leadership. This actually directly coincides to the company bleeding talent and competent staff, because being down with the cause is more valuable than any actual qualifications (this is also why so many of them hate meritocracy and go out of their way to circumvent it; a huge proportion of them are basically diversity hires), so in many cases a company too badly infested fails - usually because it chases diversity hard enough that anyone who knows what they're doing fucks off for greener pastures, leaving the company saturated with ideological bellends.

It's no coincidence that the areas that keep having legions of virtue-signaling dipshits keep having explosions of Troon and loon staff: It's a direct consequence. The good news is that eventually this always hits the bottom line, and once it does, self-preservation will win out every time.

Wouldn't voice acting be an awful career choice for trans people? They love to lecture others about how misgendering them sets their dysphoria off, which is directly responsible for murdering 1.3 billion trans kids every second. Voice acting is a job that requires you to play characters that are nothing like you. If they're a MTF troon still landing male roles, that's because they don't sound like a woman. If they're a FTM troon landing female roles, that's because they don't sound like a man. If they're a successful MTF troon that gets to voice little boys (something actual women do all the time in voice acting) that's because they're a "woman" who sounds like a boy. If they're a FTM troon still voicing little boys, that's because they don't sound like a man. If they're only getting token LGBT roles, that means the casting director thinks they sound neither male nor female. Shouldn't this be agonizing to them?

As for Maddie, her career predated the modern transtrender movement. It wasn't as easy to get hormonal pills that will make you sound weird back then. I think KickVicer Josh Grelle (to be clear, he is not Shinji's new VA) realized that would happen. He was going to troon out. He renamed himself to Mina, set up a crowdfunding campaign for a dick snip and then he didn't go through with it.

Look at a lot of the crazy shit they do and ask yourself if they're good at making life decisions.

most troons don't actually care about misgendering because they don't actually have dysphoria. everything they say is about claiming social power and money for the least amount of effort possible.

Said it before and I'll say it again these fucks are the Leftwing version of the Evangelical Right.

Speaking of, how much longer do you think this strain of moralfags will last?

I'm personally thinking around the mid 2020s is when they'll start crashing.

Maddie transitioned before it was "cool" to troon out and not for brownie progressive points which is why she gets a pass. Also Maddie was already a voice-actor just before her transition, and although her voice remained deep, she voiced beloved characters anyway. No one can hold a candle to Maddie in that regard. I honestly feel like it was a mercy she died before the political shitstorm got out of hand, so it's just what-if speculation as to whether-or-not she'd jump on the SJW bandwagon, or if she was normal enough to call out bullshit for what it is.

The only lolcow moment I can think of was she was one of the voice actors calling for fans to write to/beg 4KIDS to get Pokemon back, but she wasn't insufferable about it that I could tell.
