For you Vic Mignogna/Ouran Lovers...

On Friday, July 4th, FUNimation held an Ouran High School Host Club panel at Anime Expo. Of course, I wasn't there since I was sitting in the insanely long line for the LM.C panel, but whatever. There they announced the official voice actors for the Ouran High School Host Club dub release, which will go straight to DVD in October. Luckily for people who actually buy or rent and then copy the DVDs, they are being released on two 13-episode discs instead of a rediculous amount of expensive 4-episode discs.

Anyway, here is the official cast list:

Caitlin Glass as Haruhi Fujioka
Vic Mignogna as Tamaki Suou
Greg Ayres as Kaoru Hitachiin
J. Michael Tatum as Kyoya Ohtori
Luci Christian as Mitsukuni Haninozuka
Mike McFarland as Ryuuji "Ranka" Fujioka
Patrick Seitz as Umehito Nekozawa
Todd Haberkorn as Hikaru Hitachiin
Travis Willingham as Takashi Morinozuka
Aaron Dismuke as Yasuchika Haninozuka
Brittney Karbowski as Hinako Tsuwabuki
Carrie Savage as Momoka Kurakano
Cherami Leigh as Kirimi Nekozawa
Christopher R. Sabat as Ritsu Kasanoda
Eric Vale as Toru Suzushima
Jamie Marchi as Chizuru Maihara
R Bruce Elliott as Kasanoda's Father

This cast excites me because it's pretty much a gathering of all the well-known voice actors. Also it's pretty much everyone from Fullmetal Alchemist except in a different setting. That might end up being kind of awkward, but whatever. The FMA dub was amazing, and if it's pretty much the same cast, than this dub should be amazing, too.

Speaking of Fullmetal Alchemist, it must of been very convenient to hold the Fullmetal Alchemist signing right after the Ouran signing. I didn't get into the Ouran signing, but some very generous people held my space in line and we ended up being first in the FMA signing. I'll post a picture of my signed FMA wallscroll (which I bought from a random booth at the last minute) later, but for now here's some Vic fanservice for you.

Vic getting ready for FMA signing, salad and water in hand. I've got videos of him eating, but I'll save those for my personal Vic food porn collection. =)

Getting back on the topic of Ouran, chapter 62 of the manga was finally released. Expect a blog post about it soon. Lots of things happen, I just have to let it all soak in before I actually write about it (which means you know it has to be good).
