Most semi-mainstream stuff is voiced by the same smallish set of voice actors. Not really surprising.
I am used to watching subs not dubs - and Allen is Ling (both are always hungry!)
I prefer a well-done dub over a sub any day. If you can't understand more than a few words and phrases in a language, you can't appreciate the voice acting of the original language edition, so might as well watch the dubs if available.
If you go on imdb and look at various shows, you'll see mostly the same names over and over.
Or that Soul Eater Evans and Yuri Plisetsky have the same English voice actor.
True enough, but if I close my eyes, Ling and Roy fighting is a little odd. I don't mind subs, I watch a lot of foreign movies, you learn to listen to tone of voice.
I could see that about FMAB. I do watch some foreign films, but I still find for myself that I enjoy them less if it's a language I can't grasp much of. I prefer things in the couple of languages I'm fluent or at least ok in.
You realize the English voice actor for Roy Mustang in FMAB is also the actor for Yu Kanda in D Gray Man (and a few others cross overs too)
Just started watching the English dub for D Gray man today
