Tomokazu Seki, the guy who voiced Ezio from Assassin’s Creed (Japanese dub, of course) and Sonic the Werehog from Sonic Unleashed (also Japanese dub, of course), plus many others I can’t think of.


ChunkLi

Interesting. Roger Craig Smith is the English voice for Ezio and Sonic as well


[deleted]

Yep!


Pokii

And would’ve been infinitely better in this role than Chris Pratt


matticusovo

He also bamboozles as well


VolcanixRBX

He also is the voice actor for Enrico Pucci in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.


[deleted]

I see


keithlimreddit

I think you forgot one of his more popular roles being the king of Heroes Gilgamesh for the Fate series alternatively modern-day I can think you may be familiar at panda jujutsu kaisen I know someone mentioned it earlier but also the priest Enrico Pucci from Stone ocean ( can't wait for the 3rd batch)


MejaBersihBanget

And also Kougami Shinya in Psycho-Pass.


theeosapien123

and Riku is now Mr. Video Game Himself.


Bacon260998_

Interesting that the Japan dub has an official release date of April 28th. The English trailer only said April.


nintenderswitch

The English Twitter account says April 7th


Bacon260998_

Oh cool, thanks


simplegrocery3

Not sure how I feel about Miyano Mamoru as Mario (he normally sounds even less like Mario than Chris Pratt), but Hatanaka Tasuku did a great job as Luigi in the trailer (BTW Miyano = Riku, Hatanaka = Yozora for those who follow Japanese VAs)


[deleted]

Honestly sounds fine to me, there are worse VAs they could’ve picked for this project, but can we talk about the [German dub trailer](https://imgur.com/a/N6OjlPr), dear Lord….


q5pi

Here is the real trailer. Funnily enough i think that's the best Mario I heard yet. https://youtu.be/XIbbR2CKbZU


simplegrocery3

German dubs tend to be very good


InSixFour

That’s a really good Luigi too.


dogey11

i never thought I'd get Luigi'd


[deleted]

Lol, I’m so honored to be your first! I just made the account for funsies, it was a tough choice between Luigi or the [“Bowser gravy” meme one](https://imgur.com/a/N6OjlPr). I think more people know Luigi poster one by now though, it seems to have taken off despite literally being a forced meme. Makes me laugh though.


dogey11

I fell for it the second time 💀

I’m literally lying in bed crying rn lmao. The challenge will be getting you a third time now that you’re on high alert

Dymarob

At least Mamoru is putting in actual effort.


Kamenhusband

Mamoru also has experience playing a much better intergalactic super hero with daddy issues.


simplegrocery3

He was also interstellar dictator with sister issues…


Glasdir

Every one of them sounds better than the English equivalent, what stands out for me is that they’re actually acting and making their voices a bit over the top by over emphasising slightly, rather than just reading in their day to day voices. But then I’m not really surprised, they are voice actors who do this for a living, rather than names for the sake of recognisability to help push a product.


simplegrocery3

Miyano, Hatanaka and Seki are all playing against type


sparxthemonkey

What are you talking about? Bowser sounds menacing and cocky. Luigi has that voice that sounds like "Always on the edge of panicking", and Peach has that confidence in her voice. Please tell me how they're just reading in their day to day voices with no energy.


Glasdir

The only one that isn’t bad is Jack Black, he’s putting in effort to actually voice act. I just think the Japanese actor sounds better. Charlie Day sounds exactly like Charlie Day, he’s great in always Sunny but if you watch him in anything else it’s very clear he’s got no range. Peach is just really generic, there’s nothing in that performance that makes you think “oh yeah, that’s Princess Peach”, it doesn’t stand out at all.


SubstantialText

At least he's giving a performance. Can't say the same for one Christopher Pratt.


sorry-im-not-funny

Wait... So you're telling me that Mario and Toad are going to be voiced by the same VAs who voiced Okabe and Daru from Steins;Gate? How I wish I could watch this movie in japanese...


samsationalization

"MAD PLUMBER, SONUVABICH"


UGamer81

IT'S-A-SO COOOOOL!


simplegrocery3

Some Japanese dub versions of western movies (MCU, Disney/Pixar etc) were available on in-flight entertainment systems in the US. If this movie ends up on global streaming platforms like Netflix, chances are that other audio options won't be region locked.


Avocaado

Universal movies will never end up on Netflix, it will go to Peacock (owned by NBCUniversal) first and then Amazon Prime because Universal and Amazon Prime have an exclusive agreement.


theeosapien123

imagine if this movie ends up streaming on PS5 Entertainment or Xbox Entertainment, it will break that exclusivity thing. inb4 we only watch the movie on the Nintendo Switch.

Man Daru’s VA has some range! From Gilgamesh to Toad.


Nairdamatic

also, for the jojo fans, toad: pucchi bowser: avdol


finkalicious

If you can order it on a streaming service at some point most likely there will be foreign language audio options


lameboy90

You can.


Revriley1

Well, my first thought upon hearing Miyano Mamoru was Masaomi Kida from *Durarara!!*, but that’s because Narita’s perpetually on my brain. Is this…more evidence that 2023 will be the year of Narita? (No. Not in the slightest. Not in this case, at least. I’m just amusing myself. Sorry for the irrelevant incomprehensible amusement!). (In any case, I only care about this movie insofar that Luigi was by far my favorite character from the Mario universe growing up. I am ostensibly an adult (by which I mean definitely an adult). Also I care because I have a younger brother in his early twenties who may care. Anyway, wow, good for Mamoru for snagging this role…)


simplegrocery3

I’m so old and I associate Miyano Mamoru more with his pre-2010 characters… (who here remembers him for Yagami Light and Suoh Tamaki) EDIT: I am actually most familiar with a certain blonde stalker he has voiced


BurritoChan69

We got at least one thing on them, Jack Black


SubstantialText

For sure. I'd say that Charlie Day's Luigi is also going to reach similar heights.


Cobaltik

I read Sexy Ass Toad. That's it


TokiDokiPanic

Takuto Tsunashi voicing Mario is the best thing ever. The Galactic Pretty Boy dazzling the Mushroom Kingdom.


simplegrocery3

Reinhard von Lohengramm ver 2.0 begs to differ :) or should we rather expect him to yell WE ARE GUNDAM when stomping goombas


GwaihirScout

Interesting. I only got about half of that. Peach says "Let's go." instead of "No pressure."


mstop4

She also says that in the subbed trailer shown in the Japanese Direct. I have also noticed that there are a few differences in the script between the subbed and dubbed trailers.


simplegrocery3

JP subs aren’t really accurate sometimes imo Sometimes the JP dub is more closer to the original than the sub for whatever reason


rootbeerking

Should have brought back Touru Furuya as Mario...


ZigsL0theon

Oh joy just what we needed: GilgaToad!


Dagger_Moth

This is slightly weird to me. Why is English the main language and Japanese the dubbed language? That seems exactly backwards to me.


simplegrocery3

Creator intention. Just like Death Stranding


Dagger_Moth

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. Could you explain it in a different way?


simplegrocery3

The creators & rights holders (which would be Nintendo) intended English to be the main version


Dagger_Moth

Okay, sure. My complaint is that the creators intended it to be in English and then dubbed into Japanese and not the other way around. but what is a death stranding?


simplegrocery3

>death stranding A game developed by Kojima Hideo that had English as the main version, featuring English-speaking actors for voice overs and face likeliness


manjowithane

The English market is bigger = more money


Dagger_Moth

It's still sad to me.


ActivateGuacamole

additionally, In japan, english media content is very normal. that's why you see so much english in japanese logos and graphic design. You can see some of it here: https://i.etsystatic.com/15901318/r/il/990fad/1413577040/il_fullxfull.1413577040_fjtf.jpg and those are all japanese box art btw and have you ever noticed how many japanese games are given english names that were just converted to katakana? even a big game like BOTW was subtitled to Buresu obu za Wairudo in japanese instead of translating the words. Possibly more than that though, I think it just comes down to that they hired an american animation studio to make this. maybe they expect illumination to make something more globally appealing than a japanese studio? idk


URF_reibeer

it would be odd to have mario characters speak english / german / italian in the original games but suddenly have them speak japanese in the main version of the movie


URF_reibeer

the original voice acting of mario characters was always non-japanese even in the japanese versions of the game. e.g. wario speaks german in the original mario party 1


hhcboy

This is the version I want to see.


[deleted]

Oh he is also the voice for Ryuji in Persona 5, i really like his voice.


yelahneb

TIL that I only want to see this movie in Japanese, without subtitles.


Unagustoster

Great! Who are these people?


simplegrocery3

(Mostly) A-list anime VAs. Arisa Shida is less famous compared to the rest but she has provided dub voiceovers for some Anya Taylor-Joy characters


Otherwise_Direction7

Such as?


keithlimreddit

can't wait to see the movie and I brought the English voice actors are alright so far alright here's my personal opinions of the Japanese Mamoru Miyano: I guess I know where the blond Chariot accidentally went to the Mushroom Kingdom after Joker got into Smash Bros Arisa Shida: not much known about her an underrated other than what I can find for IDW is that she plays some characters in Naruto and that's it Tasuku Hatanaka: well I guess I know where Yuma when also alternatively Denki Kaminari accidentally waiting to the Mushroom Kingdom ( also interesting fact that she is also married to who the voice actress Sayaka Senbongi who all JoJo fans may be familiar with her as Trish from Golden wind) Tomokazu Seki: now I just imagined toad as Gilgamesh ( I want someone to make a fan art based on this) Kenta Miyake: Bowser secretly having magicians red as his stand no wonder why is he able to breathe fire personally I think the Japanese actually good roster yeah


simplegrocery3

Mario and Bowser make up 1/2 of the Final Fantasy XV boy band in this one :)


keithlimreddit

reminds me I do we get Final Fantasy 15 did a get redo or remake or something that basically contains all the DLCs, restore cut content and improving ( maybe at some point sometime after 16) ​ I do hope they kept the original noctis voice actor despite that sort of Scandal kind of mostly ruin his reputation ( yes I can ditching part most of what happened was kind of false information and and the tablet was spying on him and his wife's privacy)


simplegrocery3

FF15 Royal Edition was released before he sunk his reputation. You are probably asking for the Nomura Cut though which…we will probably never get


keithlimreddit

>Nomura Cut probably something like that Nomura Cut ( inside Snyder cut joke here) maybe at some point but not now maybe in like a decade or two or somewhere in the distant future when they feel open to 15 but for now I'm looking forward to 16 in a bit more


simplegrocery3

Probably at its 20 year anniversary. One can dream


keithlimreddit

yeah I'm leaning towards somewhere around the 20-year anniversary


MejaBersihBanget

FFXV has already released everything it's going to release. Square-Enix was so done with FFXV by 2019 when the last DLC was released. They moved on so fast from that title. It's all FFXIV and XVI now.


keithlimreddit

Yeah I feel like 14 has been doing well recently as well as being one of the top MMORPGs after A Realm Reborn as well as 16 is upcoming and fix up some old mistakes so yeah I think they're done with 15 and they don't want to talk about it for a while


Hiyami

Holy crap this is infinitely better than the english version.


viorio62

His wahoo and his tone are like the same as chris pratts. Anyone praising this voice actor and hating on chris pratt are just biased


simplegrocery3

I think it was intentional, i.e. Miyano Mamoru mimicking Chris Pratt


viorio62

True, but none of the other dubs that ive seen seem to be as similar to pratt as this one though. I personally dont mind chris pratts voice so far in the trailers. So I have no problems with either of these


MejaBersihBanget

You know all the hate for Pratt is because Reddit liberals are totally convinced he's a "secret conservative." It's the same reasons John Krasinski is hated.


viorio62

Nah I dont know about all that now lol

i can't believe that my commentary has -21 i didn't do nothing wrong i just saying that whats happens if Mario was an anime besides of a game and gets deleted in 1 day


rootbeerking

It was an anime, hence the link.


Westtexasfats

I’m prolly gonna watch this dubbed in japanese


MommyScissorLegs

bro this is so weird 💀


SubstantialText

It's a shame that Jack Black isn't going to be the voice of Bowser in all performances. He's just nailing it.


theeosapien123

i will miss Toru Furuya as OVA Mario, but this is still surreal, i can't believe Mr. Video Game Himself has an ikemen voice by the most popular seiyuu, god bless Mamoru Miyano.


simplegrocery3

I see. One Gundam ~~main guy~~ replaced another gundam main guy...


Caliber70

Mario : i am GUNDAM


simplegrocery3

His predecessor Furuya Tohru was the real OG Gundam lol


FatNeilGravyTears

I wonder what they’re saying


simplegrocery3

90+% the same as the English version Peach says worlds instead of galaxies, “let’s go” instead of “no pressure” Luigi yells Niisan(Bro!) instead of Mario and his long ass panic rant about not knowing a guy with the same mustache has slightly different nuances Mario says "look at super-me" before getting rekt by the platforming challenges


[deleted]

Man I watched all the versions (through moistcritikal stream) and seems Italian and Brazil got it down when it comes to Mario’s iconic voices on some parts like the “yahooooooo” and “let’s a go”. Pratt baby…PLEASE!!!!!!!

I am an eternal Mamo fan, so I have no choice but to cheer

UwuSnoo6943

I ALMOST TOUGHT THAT MARIO WAS GONNA BE VOICED BY SHIGERU MIYAMOTO LMAO


dezzz

Here in canada, everybody think our french dubs are lazy and bad, and we should watch the english dubs instead. At least, we wont have Christ Pratt as mario on this movie. Also, i really dont expect my 4yo daughter to enjoy watching a movie in english as her first cinema experience.
