Well, they've made some good choices and bad ones for Naruto this time.
Though everyone thinks Johnny Young Bosch is a bad choice for Naruto, no one had watched his performance in Last Exile capture hearts. Everyone thinks of his botched role as Vash in Trigun, but I think he will do a good job.
Sasuke's part belongs to Mark Hildreth, otherwise known as Heero from Gundam Wing, which is actually the best choice for the job. Sasuke's voice is naturally deep and serious for his age, and Mark will do an excellent job portraying that, hopefully his playful side too.
Stephen Blum gets the Kakashi role, as we already know, another of the best case scenarios. It was either him or Crispin Freeman, but I can see him in other future roles, maybe even Jirayah. Kakashi has the same cool-factor as Spike did in Cowboy Bebop, and his other roles will help contribute to this one.
Colleen O'Shaughnessey takes both the roles of Konohamaru and Ino. Personally I think they should keep Konohamaru as the loveable Pikachu we all know, but I suppose Colleen can do it. For those of you who don't know, she played Sora in the first two seasons of Digimon. I found she did a rather good job of the role, even though she was a secondary player. This could turn out ok.
The other two on the list are ones I'm not so thrilled about.
Sakura's voice get's taken up by Rachel Lillis, sadly. Now don't get me wrong, I love Misty and Jessie, but I'm sorry, she can't do well as Sakura. There's no way. I'm also kind of tired of hearing her everywhere.
Another one on the list is Gaara. I know people have actually been making fun of this paring, but they actually worked up the nerve to put Eric Stuart as Gaara. I know he has a wide voice range, and is a good VA, but the voice of Brock, James, and Seto Kaiba does not belong in the mouth of Gaara. I believe this is a mistake.
I suppose that means Ash and May will also make their appearances too, most likely as someone like Shikamaru or something like that, or hopefully something short, like Inari in the Country of the Wave saga. I can only hope.
Any input from those fans of Pokemon and Naruto before me?
