Ever since its premiere,Dandadanhas amazed fans with every episode, sometimes with the spectacular visuals, other times with the enthralling plot progression. None of this would have been possible without the phenomenal voice acting that brings the story and characters to life. If you’re wondering whether it’s the Japanese or English voice acting that is being discussed,Dandadanhas another surprise for you!
The ever-going sub vs. dub debate comes to a halt withDandadan, as both versions of the series are exceptionally good. And, once you discover who Turbo Granny shares her voice actor with, you’ll understand why fans find the English dub so appealing.
Turbo Granny and Rita Repulsa Share the Same Voice Actor
Just the mention of Rita Repulsa is enough for fans to reminisce about her antics inPower Rangers. Rita Repulsa was an antagonist that appeared in various seasons of thePower Rangersseries includingPower Rangers in SpaceandMighty Morphin Power Rangers. The voice actor who dubbed the character was Barbara Goodson. While she is best known for her iconic role as thePower Rangersantagonist, she has established her reputation with many great roles.
Some of the characters that Goodson has voiced include Granny Chiyo fromNaruto Shippuden, Enyaba fromJoJo’s Bizarre Adventures: Stardust Crusaders, and Tami Hanae fromFLCL. Her voice has a distinctive quality, and it’s hard to imagine Rita Repulsa speaking in any other voice. Goodson truly made the character synonymous with her voice through her immense talent.
Dandadan’s Unpredictable Plot Gives Fans the Opportunity to Focus On What Really Matters
This is why,as soon as fans realizedthat Turbo Granny fromDandadanshared the same voice actor as Rita Repulsa, they couldn’t contain their excitement. The nonchalance and crankiness of Turbo Granny get translated quite well along with her crass personality. She’s an absolute delight and menace in both Japanese and English versions.
Similar to how Goodson is brilliant in her role, everyone involved in the voice acting of the series brings out their absolute best with their respective characters. From A.J. Beckles as Okarun toLisa Reimold as Aira, the suave feel ofDandadanmanga is present in the anime as well.
The Japanese Version Keeps up With the Enthusiasm of the English Dub
The English dub ofDandadanis getting special attention from fans for how great it is. Many fans usually don’t expect much from the English dub, butDandadanchanges that with its star-studded cast. The Japanese cast is no different and features many famous figures.
From Natsuki Hanae (famously known for his role as Tanjiro Kamado) to Mayumi Tanaka (famously known for her role as Monkey D. Luffy), the Japanese cast has many experts. While generally upbeat and exciting with the fights and endless banter,Dandadanhas its fair share of grave moments.
