Kevin Afghani announced he’s taken over the plunger from Mario’s voice actor for over 25 years, Charles Martinet.
I’m pretty picky about voices of iconic characters, but the new guy doing Mario and Luigi is solid. He sounds just like them to me, so no problem.
In what other instances are you picky about the voices of iconic characters?
Sonic is basically what got me invested in voice actor swaps lol. I literally can’t stand some of the voice actor swaps in that series because they just sound so drastically different and wrong.
Voice issues happen a lot with anime too when it gets dubbed. Rarely will the dub be better, but there’s some iconic dubs like the pokemon cast, or haruhi. With the yuki-chan spin-off series of haruhi, I was really concerned they’d get different VAs and it’d be ruined as a result, but fortunately they had brought back the entire original cast.
