Haruhi's Japanese VA was born in 1987. Her English VA was born in 1955.

yep. Wendee Lee does fine with "mature" women voices like Angel of Big O or Faye Valentine. But for some reason, she seems to insist on playing the roles of young women with terrible results.

Seen Brigadoon? Like most Tokyopop dubs, they make 3 or 4 actors do most of the voices, so just about every female character (and a couple of the male ones) got voiced by Wendee Lee. You get to hear pretty much every voice she can do. There's lots of awkward scenes of WL talking to herself, such as the scene in the screenschot here.

Frankly, she's better at voicing little boys than little girls. Or at least, the boy was the only character I couldn't immediately recognize as her.

true. She did decently as Yahiko on Rurouni Kenshin. I didn't even know it was her until I saw the credits.

Crazy.

1987(Aya Hirano)-1955(Wendee Lee)=32
32/2(# of VA's)=16

16=age of Haruhi Suzumiya.

AMAZING!!!

Since when did legality matter on 4chan?

And so it's Wendee Lee. I'll wait to judge what happens when we can hear actual samples. She's versatile at least. Hmmm... Trying to imagine a much younger and hyperactive Faye Valentine.

You know there is dual audio on the DVDs correct?

I'm 4 years older than her if she's 16.

But she's some weird entity anyway whose age is somewhat indeterminate.

I think she'd like being referred to as an "entity."

Excuse me if i'm used to talking like that because of a friend of mine who dislikes cursing.

Also why the hell does disliking Power Rangers make me underage? No, really. You can't tell age by opinions.

You really talk that way? How do you pronounce those asterisks? Do you say things like, "Wait just a quardruple-starring minute!"

That's like complaining because Lance Bass did the voice of Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 1. Especially when Sephiroth had no real lines other than in battle, and he sounded fine. There's no point in it as long as they do a good job.

WHAT?! Lance Bass?! That's it, I'm boycotting all Square products. Including all products that have squares in them. Triangles, circles, and pentagons are all out, too.

By the way, who the fuck is Lance Bass?

Wendee Lee and Aya Hirano are the same ages as my mother and I, almost to the month. Eerie.

They've also got Etna doing Yuki. I might have to break habit and watch the dub; the potential for lolz is too great to pass up.

I just cannot attend western anime festivals because they treat the English voice actors like celebrities and I am like "Who the fuck are these people? Where are my original voice actors?"
