Needs a sticky.

Looks like he's blasting off to heaven.

Love him or hate him, he was there from the very beginning... RIP JCC.

He was the worst part of the new dub as a writer and a terrible replacement. His Gary was good though.

we're getting old

So sad. His Gary voice was iconic and his Meowth was decent too. RIP.

That's three great VAs dead.
Carter Cathcart, Jimmy Zoppi and Billy Beach.
RIP

>>57987813
Why did his Meowth constantly say “oy vey”?

>>57987898
Blaustein was Jewish and like most jewish va's used hebrew/yiddish words

>>57987290 (OP)
Rest in peace...

I'm just gonna exist for a while.
None of this is real.

>>57987989
Eric Stuart and Michele Knotz (OG James and replacement Jessie) are still alive

>>57987290 (OP)
Just saw the news on Xitter, there goes another part of my childhood. F

Is this the good James, the first James, or the third James?

>>57987290 (OP)
Sticky?

How did Veroinca (and Eric) outlast their colleagues?
>>57988033
the third James.

>>57987290 (OP)
I know he had a lot of haters since you can't beat Eric Stuart's James performance (it's just too damn iconic), but I thought his James was pretty damn good. Of what I watched so far of Journeys/Master Journeys, I really liked him. Same goes for his Meowth. rip man. Sucks how time just keeps on ticking.

>>57988007
Ted Lewis is still alive. No clue if Nathan Price (first Meowth) is still alive.

You misspelled his last name. How do you fuck up this badly.
This is why you're not getting a sticky.

Is 4kids still dubbing Yugioh?

>>57987746

No fuck this guy.

>>57988206
I'm sure you could've done it better. Either make an anime with a 25 year run or shut the fuck up.

>>57988219
No kill yourself. Dude literally would samefag in a sock puppet account as his biggest fan on Bulbapedia and Serebii shitting on all the old cast people actually liked. He called himself "oldguardtruthseeker" and would praise himself "anonymously" as the best James.

>>57987290 (OP)
F to a real one..

>>57988307
I think he's been here before too. I remember arguing with someone about them not letting Stuart Zagnit voice Professor Oak when he came back in BW. They were arguing that it would be unfair on Oak's current voice to lose the role to the OG despite Cathcart already voicing Meowth and James as well as being the script editor and so on. Considering that Oak was widely regarded as Cathcart's worst role and Zagnit's Oak is beloved I can't imagine who other than Cathcart himself would argue that Zagnit shouldn't be allowed to voice Oak again.

>>57988338
This guy was so catastrophic to the dub that I don't know who was actually upset he was forced to step down due to health. This thread is mourning him as "beloved dub voice actor" when people only liked and remembered fondly one voice of a character, Gary, that only showed up sporadically. No one likes his James or Meowth YA DIG LET'S NAB US A PRIMO POKÉMON. No one GOT PSYCHED for his writing either DIG IT YA MUGS. And yeah his Oak was terrible. Awfully convenient to suddenly go from voicing a side character to voicing characters that appear in every episode while also writing what they say.

>>57988100
His name is Matthew Sussman and he's alive yes.

>>57988206
Add Kayzie Rogers into that as well. Fucking scabs.

>>57987290 (OP)
Sad that gooner Pokegirl threads are getting more attention than this.

>>57988307
>>57988338

>>57988206
>Michelle Knotz
Hilarious that just like Lillis she voices both Jessie and Misty, but because she has 0 range you can barely tell the difference between Jessie, Misty and May. It was beyond retarded that she kept voicing Misty from her flashback appearance in BW and onwards when literally the only time she voiced Misty before that was for the shitty 10th anniversary Mastermind of Mirage "movie" that almost no one watched.

>>57987290 (OP)
rest easy friend

>>57987290 (OP)
rest in peace

Where the fuck is the sticky, mods?

>>57988435
fuck off faggot

Look out Billy Beach or Jimmy Zoppi or whatever his actual name is is defending himself from the grave

>no sticky
Fuck this board

>>57988206
someone DM’d Zoppi while he was alive, he scabbed because 4Kids’ CEO was a scumbag crook and he needed to feed his kids

>>57987290 (OP)
Rip F Vector!

>>57987290 (OP)
Say what you will about how much he ruined the English dub, he still didn't deserve to die, especially not from cancer.

>>57987290 (OP)
>dub actor
Worthless and the most easily replaceable thing. Any rando you'd pick completely randomly from the street would be able to do a better job.

>>57989269
Why are you glazing for Knotz? Her Misty was abominable. And she had much less range than Lillis.

>>57988119
More or less. They rebranded twice and are now owned by Konami. Their job consists solely of dubbing Yu-Gi-Oh now.

>>57988206
4kids, in all their forms, held a grudge on him for years over that. He was barred from reprising his Yu-Gi-Oh roles in Duel Links and never got asked to come back for the later seasons of Slayers (which featured other 4kids VAs).

>>57989903
At least her Misty wasn’t around much. Meanwhile we got the entire remainder of Battle Frontier with her horrible May and hundreds of episodes with her worst performance as Jessie.

I gotta be real, his voice acting wasn't great , most of characters sound basically the same and he was honestly a really bad James in particular. I feel like the majority of the people on the internet upset about this don't actually realise he didn't voice the flaming Moltres camp James they remember fondly.

>I feel like the majority of the people on the internet upset about this don't actually realise he didn't voice the flaming Moltres camp James they remember fondly
Both the threads on /vp/ and /a/ have a lot of those people

Those 4kids studios must have been built with extra asbestos with the amount of cancer.

>>57987290 (OP)
RIP

>>57990159
>>57990184
People that watch dubs are retards, news at 11.

>>57990159
Let's be fair, nobody actually cared about this guy when he was alive, or knew who he was. They're "upset" because they read a badly worded article about him written after he died and mistook him for someone else.

>>57987290 (OP)
Eric Stuart (OG James) is still alive

>>57990184
The /a/ thread is mostly people saying "fuck dubs"
