Liam is excellent, no complaints. Kevin Lund has a powerful voice, he just exaggerates trying to make it evil. But I think he pulled off his final episode really well.
I agree and I know Nephrite was a bad person but risked his life to save Naru. That’s the most selfless thing a villain can do in animes. Also, that Naru was the reason why he went rogue from the Dark Kingdom.
And in this death, I have to admit that... Even when Nephrite lied to Naru about his intentions, he still had genuine feelings towards her, and gave his life to protect her.
Kevin Lund sounds too threatening. Well, at least not during his death scene. Like a tragic beast having regrets before he fades away to nothing. I'll give him points for that.
I feel like Lund’s voice when he’s pretending to be his alter ego would’ve suited the character better. It’s just bizarre that the only one of the Dark Kingdom to be redeemed sounds like a monster of the week half the time (that being said, Lund’s evil laugh was awesome)
If I had watched the original dub then I might have fallen in love with Kevin Lund’s Nephrite. But I’m watching the Viz dub right now and holy heck Liam O’Brien’s voice just does things to my heart. I could listen to him forever.
Liam did a better job with the character but Kevin's Neflite sounded so awkward and adorkable that it won my heart over more. The fact that such a hokey character met such a grisly end makes the chocolate parfait scene actually really upsetting too. There's such a sudden tonal dissonance between the conversation with Molly and his death.
Kevin’s voice is the one I fell in love with; possibly my bias since I grew up with 90’s sailor moon lol. Sure, his acting was raspy and very deep but to me it added to Nephrites’ character and is one of the many voices that I will always remember.
Love Katsuji Mori and Liam O'Brien. I think Kevin Lund, as far as I love Nephrite, was a bit too deep and didn't show the (would it be slightly arrogant, somewhat lone wolf) personality I got from Katsuji's take. Liam O'Brien i know best as Gaara, but he actually takes care not to slip characters much, has a bit of nuance in his voices I like. I never got to Crystal yet, but from what I heard of Kosuke, I like him too
I really liked all of the voices for nephrite,especially the one from the 90's dub version of sailor moon Kevin lund did a great job as nephrite and Liam does a great job as nephrite too in the viz dub version of sailor moon.
Loved Kevin Lunds voice for Neflite/Nephrite despite it sounding raspey which i thought it fitted the character as for Liam O Brien when i hear his voice i think of Gaara from Naruto don't get me wrong i'm not hating on viz Media because i'm not i love viz media its thanks to them that i got into shonen Jump the manga series that brought me shows that the've done such as Naruto and Bleach its just i;'ve only seen clips of the viz media dub and i just bought the first dvd of the viz media version its just i found the dic dub here on youtube its kinda like one piece i prefer the 4 kids version not the editing but the voice acting while on the funimaton dub all i can think of is Dragonball z when i hear the voices
Nephtite Voice actors ranked from oldest to youngest 1. Katsuji Mori (Original)(1945-) 2. Kosuke Toriumi (Crystal)(1973-) 3. Liam O' Brien (Viz)(1976-) 4. Kevin Lund (DiC)(???-)
@@L33TRedNinja more famously he was Nail in DBZ! "NEPHRIIIIIIIIIIITE! There is a Sailor Scout standing behind you. Kill it like the rest..." he also dubbed as Paul McCartney in Japan's dub of "Yellow Submarine" so Katsuji has a tie with the fab four.
I like all of them to be honest..admittedly I wasn't used to Kevin Lund's voice when I was younger (except for when he talked as Masato-san/Maxfield), but as I got used to it, it grew on me and I think because the character CAN come across as gruff at times, it does fit the personality to an extent..and the demonic laugh was so hilarious..I found myself laughing right along with it..I LOVE Liam, though.he was so sexy..would have chosen Lex Lang but both are awesome
I love Kosuke Toriumi! I had no idea he was in Crystal~ Also, wow the DiC dub had a really rough voice for Nephrite. Sounds like it belongs in DBZ or something. Giving them credit for a genuine villain voice, though. I'm very excited for Zoicite~ He's my favorite~
What if Zoisite, Jadeite, and Nephrite played a practical joke on Malachite by switching the Chocolate pudding with prune butter and Jadeite was like hey Mal have some pudding and Malachite was like well don’t mind if I do and when he put a spoon of pudding in his mouth he was like this pudding is a bit off what is this then Zoisite giggled and said that’s not pudding that’s prune butter then Malachite was like oh my God until his Bowels went on a rampage and he’s like oh God diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea then Nephrite said that will teach that practical joker to play a Joke on his little brother
Liam is a great voice actor in general, but Kevin actually made it sound like Neflite was dying... there's a desperate raspiness to his voice that sounds like he really IS dying that Liam doesn't have, and the dub music actually helps a lot as well. There's a couple other parts not in this video where he's injured and Kevin does this really convincing pained wheeze that just sounds like he's in incredible pain, and I was really affected by that as a kid
@@jacefiore6203 yes he is in his 70s he was known for the voice as Garma Zabi in Mobile Suit Gundam, Shu and zaria in Fist of the North Star anime series, Robespierre in The Rose of Versailles, Ken the eagle in Science ninja team Gatchaman, Moka's father in Rosario + Vampire, Mitsuo Itami in Odin photon sailer Starlight and other anime he has worked on
okay - what i think about the voices: japanese 1992 rate 10/10 , . :) he did a friggin good job with the character and he sounded both - good and evil ( remember, nephrite is a reformed villain) crystal - 8.5/10 , he did a good job too... even though i'm not a fan of the shitennou in smc , but liked his prefoemance in " i'm going down". also, he was the reason i started watching diabolik lovers (( shu) dic dub ; rate 9.99/10 ohhh my glob YES! best voice of dic in my opinion. i think he really captured the character's prefomance right, also this voice is just ... •^• ♥~ , the only problem i had was that even after he became good he still had an evil voice...( ( but that's not really a problem to think about it i mean... vegeta doesn't have a reformed voice either....)). 90's viz re dub :8/10.... i loved his voice too , but... it's not as emotinal as the dic & japanese....but i'm not someone who only searches in dub for " hot voice" ,the viz version of his death just wasn't.... good enough...( like seiya ,) naru's voice didn't helped that much either ,but i liked the parts when he dubbed masato sanjoin. ( also notes like " ...this can't be.( episode 21 when his strongest youma were defeated) and the " damn you.... zoisite...." dang.... i rlly liked this one . crystal dub ;9/10 - i honestly think it worked a lot better in there, and the voice was a lot more fitting ( but i assume it's because naoko choose the voices for the manga , so they sound better in crystal than 90's ( aside for zoisite and kunzite ,who were better in the 90's redub in my opinion)
Fallout New Vegas players will get a kick out of this but Liam O’Brien voiced a lot of characters in FNV but more specifically he played James Garret I believe his name is, who is the guy who gives you the quest to find the sex bot not only that but James Garret has a sister I forgot her name but she was voiced by I believe her name is Cindy Robinson who was also queen Beryl
Love both the Japanese ones... overdone it may be, but I find Kevin Lund's version extremely masculine, and more than a little sexy. >_> The death scene with him tears me up every time... Liam... meh. I don't generally watch dubs, anymore... Prefer the Japanese.
hey I hope he doesn't say I love you Molly within my heart my sweet love you are my rose petal I want spend all my life with you Molly Jacqueline Denise Baker will you Marry me and Molly will be like oh Nephrite yes, yes I will marry you
The First Dub was done in Two Canadian Studios (DiC for Seasons 1-2 and Cloverway for Seasons 3-4) while a More Recent Uncensored dub was done by Viz Media (dubbing all 5 Seasons and Films).
Kevin Lund's Nephrite has such a strong place in my heart that it's difficult for others to replace it, even if I didn't grow up with Sailor Moon but only watched the DiC dub of the first season three years ago. It was the only season I didn't first watch in Japanese. IMHO the 90s' Nephrite is the best guy in Sailor Moon. 🥰💗😻 Although Kevin Lund's Nephrite is often ridiculed for the raspy and at times over-the-top delivery, I think he really does have nuance. He manages to sound menacing but also businessmanlike, seductive and in the last episode of his arc, even tender.
God, oh god is Kevin Lund horrible for Nephrite. I feel like nephrite is cool and calm unlike the other four generals. Not only that but his purposefully handsome look better matches his new Viz voice.
As a person that has heard the Viz dub of Nephrite before the DIC dub, Scott McNeil or Michael McConnohie could've worked better. Edit: We can all agree on this. Since Nephrite is a bad guy, he could've sounded more evil. Just because you can make a dub more like the original doesn't mean you can't top it. This also goes to why I think Crispin Freeman, Jamieson Price, Clancy Brown, or Richard Epcar could've voiced Demand. Even so, Liam still did a good job voicing Nephrite..
It seems like half like Kevin Lund with the other half preferring Liam O’Brien. I guess I’ll always prefer Kevin’s take on Nephrite since he gave the character more personality.
Agreed. Liam O'Brien could have definitely done a more overtly menacing voice, but for some reason, he was directed to use the tone he did. It makes sense in Crystal, but not for the classic anime.
ch2010ize what I was trying to say is that every time married voice actors/actresses pair us without their significant other could end their marriages and their lead into divorces. I am worried about Johnny Yong Bosch getting a divorce along with Yuri Lowenthal. It just makes it harder to watch since Mary Mcglynn just got her divorce in 2012
Grant Awa Nope Liam O’Brien is still married from what I have read online to Amy Kincaid (the voice of Shirley from Code Geass) and they have two kids.
Liam is excellent, no complaints. Kevin Lund has a powerful voice, he just exaggerates trying to make it evil. But I think he pulled off his final episode really well.
I agree and I know Nephrite was a bad person but risked his life to save Naru. That’s the most selfless thing a villain can do in animes. Also, that Naru was the reason why he went rogue from the Dark Kingdom.
90s nephrite is the best. Also nephrites death was the SADDEST scene in all of sailor moon
More like "death".
Probably the only death they couldn't really gloss over, like with the Sailor Senshi in the season finale.
Madame Xaela I know this scene made me cry 😭
I agree!!!
YESSSSS I CRIED SOOO MUCH
And in this death, I have to admit that... Even when Nephrite lied to Naru about his intentions, he still had genuine feelings towards her, and gave his life to protect her.
"The stars see all, the stars know all." So hot.
I like Liam O'Brien as Nephrite, but it cool that he did Kain Highwind from Final Fantasy 4.
Caius from ff xiii-2 too
Moroboshi from ULTRAMAN.
And Akihiko p3
Liam O'Brien's more smooth and regal voice for Nephrite is a better fit for the character in my eyes.
Just had to go and make Nephrite death more painful by using Liam to voice him didn't you VIZ?! DIDN'T YOU?!
Kevin's Nephrite voice was BETTER!
Blossom44100 Yeah his voice was awesome
@@Blossom44100 in viz naru kept saying " I WANT CHOCOCOCOCOOCOOCLATETTETETET"
I don't think there's a way to makd it less painful. It's probably been done on a non-English dub, but it probably is lost to time.
Kevin Lund sounds too threatening. Well, at least not during his death scene. Like a tragic beast having regrets before he fades away to nothing. I'll give him points for that.
I feel like Lund’s voice when he’s pretending to be his alter ego would’ve suited the character better. It’s just bizarre that the only one of the Dark Kingdom to be redeemed sounds like a monster of the week half the time (that being said, Lund’s evil laugh was awesome)
Wow I'm impressed, the VIZ one with Liam was rather satisfying
If I had watched the original dub then I might have fallen in love with Kevin Lund’s Nephrite. But I’m watching the Viz dub right now and holy heck Liam O’Brien’s voice just does things to my heart. I could listen to him forever.
I love Kevin Lund, yes he's overly campy and exaggerated but, have you guys ever heard a voice used like that again in any other anime? It's unique
Liam O' Brien!!! My personal favorite voice he did was Leviathan from Skullgirls and him being Nephrite was really outstanding!
Mine is Gaara
I like Gaara from Naruto and Jushiro Ukitake from Bleach
I like the Viz Media dub better, the voices fit so damn well.
Nephrite’s death was much sadder in the DiC dub for some reason. Music, voice..
Liam did a better job with the character but Kevin's Neflite sounded so awkward and adorkable that it won my heart over more. The fact that such a hokey character met such a grisly end makes the chocolate parfait scene actually really upsetting too. There's such a sudden tonal dissonance between the conversation with Molly and his death.
Liam fit more as Nephrite, Kevin sound a bit like a Dragon Ball villain like Vegeta
That's why Kevin Lund was great!
Kevin’s voice is the one I fell in love with; possibly my bias since I grew up with 90’s sailor moon lol. Sure, his acting was raspy and very deep but to me it added to Nephrites’ character and is one of the many voices that I will always remember.
Love Katsuji Mori and Liam O'Brien. I think Kevin Lund, as far as I love Nephrite, was a bit too deep and didn't show the (would it be slightly arrogant, somewhat lone wolf) personality I got from Katsuji's take. Liam O'Brien i know best as Gaara, but he actually takes care not to slip characters much, has a bit of nuance in his voices I like. I never got to Crystal yet, but from what I heard of Kosuke, I like him too
Nobody better than Katsuji Mori.
I really liked all of the voices for nephrite,especially the one from the 90's dub version of sailor moon
Kevin lund did a great job as nephrite and Liam does a great job as nephrite too in the viz dub version of sailor moon.
Neflite:"Jedite was a fool! You can depend on me,my queen!" (Neflite Evil laughing)
Loved Kevin Lunds voice for Neflite/Nephrite despite it sounding raspey which i thought it fitted the character as for Liam O Brien when i hear his voice i think of Gaara from Naruto don't get me wrong i'm not hating on viz Media because i'm not i love viz media its thanks to them that i got into shonen Jump the manga series that brought me shows that the've done such as Naruto and Bleach its just i;'ve only seen clips of the viz media dub and i just bought the first dvd of the viz media version its just i found the dic dub here on youtube its kinda like one piece i prefer the 4 kids version not the editing but the voice acting while on the funimaton dub all i can think of is Dragonball z when i hear the voices
My favourite is definitely Illida- VIZ! Yes Viz's dub is great
All of them except DiC, he sounded like a 40 year old chain smoker (he’s like 19-21)
Consider that a PSA about the dangers of smoking, especially when you're young.
Nonetheless looked 40 all along.
I like both Kevin Lund and Liam O’ Brien.
Kevin Lund sounds like Vegeta. 😂😂
Nephtite Voice actors ranked from oldest to youngest
1. Katsuji Mori (Original)(1945-)
2. Kosuke Toriumi (Crystal)(1973-)
3. Liam O' Brien (Viz)(1976-)
4. Kevin Lund (DiC)(???-)
It freaked me out hearing Illidan Stormrage’s voice coming from Viz Nephrite.
Kevin Lund to me is the best Neflite the way he talks the way he changes Neflites tone of voice and his evil laugh bang on
AAAAAAH!!!!! Katsuji Mori also played Speed Racer (Go Mifune) and Kosuke Toriumi also played Little Mac in Smash 4!!!!!!! this is great
Kosuke also played Junpei Iori. 😊
@@L33TRedNinja more famously he was Nail in DBZ! "NEPHRIIIIIIIIIIITE! There is a Sailor Scout standing behind you. Kill it like the rest..."
he also dubbed as Paul McCartney in Japan's dub of "Yellow Submarine" so Katsuji has a tie with the fab four.
Ahh... Interesting... 🤔
He was Polnareff in the 90's JJBA.
I say Liam O'Brien has a much sexier voice than Kevin Lund. He's like a white Keith David among the Viz Media English cast of Sailor Moon.
Neo-Xgray87 uh...Lund would fit Goliath waaay more than O'Brien. Have you heard Keith David?
I like all of them to be honest..admittedly I wasn't used to Kevin Lund's voice when I was younger (except for when he talked as Masato-san/Maxfield), but as I got used to it, it grew on me and I think because the character CAN come across as gruff at times, it does fit the personality to an extent..and the demonic laugh was so hilarious..I found myself laughing right along with it..I LOVE Liam, though.he was so sexy..would have chosen Lex Lang but both are awesome
I will say both Kevin and Liam have amazing voices for Nephrite/Nephlite. I also ship Nephrite/Nephlite with Naru/Molly
Kevin also plays the role of Ted Bundy in the film Bundy. He isn't a bad actor! He was also the father the first Collector film!
Liam and Kevin are good.
I love Kosuke Toriumi! I had no idea he was in Crystal~ Also, wow the DiC dub had a really rough voice for Nephrite. Sounds like it belongs in DBZ or something. Giving them credit for a genuine villain voice, though.
I'm very excited for Zoicite~ He's my favorite~
What if Zoisite, Jadeite, and Nephrite played a practical joke on Malachite by switching the Chocolate pudding with prune butter and Jadeite was like hey Mal have some pudding and Malachite was like well don’t mind if I do and when he put a spoon of pudding in his mouth he was like this pudding is a bit off what is this then Zoisite giggled and said that’s not pudding that’s prune butter then Malachite was like oh my God until his Bowels went on a rampage and he’s like oh God diarrhea diarrhea diarrhea then Nephrite said that will teach that practical joker to play a Joke on his little brother
Oh my gosh I love Kevin Lund
Kevin is just like the guy who voiced jadeite in the Dic Dub he tried too hard to sound evil and failed in the process.
Nephrite face is like ken the eagle in Gatchaman.🙂
nephrite is one of my favourite soldier in the series from the 1990s Long Live Nephrite nephrite evil laughter
Kevin Lund sounds like Freddy Kruger at times.
Its that laugh
Is it me, or does Liam O'Brien's voice sound more appropriate for Kunzite?
Nah, I remember the original Kunzite sounding more baritone.
Liam O’Brien is the best
Is it just me, or does Liam look like the guy who does the rhetorical questions on the Geico commercials?
Kevin Lund is more menacing, but O'Brien's has a...smoother delivery. Yeah, he's the best out of all the VAs.
Was it a requirement for Nephrite's Japanese actors to wear beanies?
Lol
Nah, but maybe the beanies helped them in voice acting? Or maybe it's just a coincidence.
Kevin's voice was by far the best, not because he's Canadian but because his was more sincere.
3:28 As always Viz pulled it of better.
Because of this scene, I'm going to be making Chocolate Parfaits of my own Tomorrow.
I miss Liam O Brien doing anime. Honestly Kevin Lund sounds too old and robotic.
Agreed.
Is it just me? Or does Dic Nephrite almost sound like Muscle Man from Regular Show?
Liam is a great voice actor in general, but Kevin actually made it sound like Neflite was dying... there's a desperate raspiness to his voice that sounds like he really IS dying that Liam doesn't have, and the dub music actually helps a lot as well. There's a couple other parts not in this video where he's injured and Kevin does this really convincing pained wheeze that just sounds like he's in incredible pain, and I was really affected by that as a kid
Oooh, liam is good
His new dubs are voiced akihiko (eng dub) & junpei (japan dub) from persona 3
Kevin supremacy
Katsuji Mori because he is the original Japanese voice actor from Mach Go Go Go translated as Speed Racer
Nephrite's Original? Japanese VA was the original Japanese VA of Speed?
Say what?
Is Nephrite's original Japanese VA still alive?
@@jacefiore6203 yes he is in his 70s he was known for the voice as Garma Zabi in Mobile Suit Gundam, Shu and zaria in Fist of the North Star anime series, Robespierre in The Rose of Versailles, Ken the eagle in Science ninja team Gatchaman, Moka's father in Rosario + Vampire, Mitsuo Itami in Odin photon sailer Starlight and other anime he has worked on
Brainwashed by some metal bint. Banished from my side of the moon, and now you dare touch my hair?
You are not prepared.
Kevin's Nephrite was PERFECT!!!
Yes so sexy
okay - what i think about the voices:
japanese 1992 rate 10/10 , . :) he did a friggin good job with the character and he sounded both - good and evil ( remember, nephrite is a reformed villain)
crystal - 8.5/10 , he did a good job too... even though i'm not a fan of the shitennou in smc , but liked his prefoemance in " i'm going down". also, he was the reason i started watching diabolik lovers (( shu)
dic dub ; rate 9.99/10 ohhh my glob YES! best voice of dic in my opinion. i think he really captured the character's prefomance right, also this voice is just ... •^• ♥~ , the only problem i had was that even after he became good he still had an evil voice...( ( but that's not really a problem to think about it i mean... vegeta doesn't have a reformed voice either....)).
90's viz re dub :8/10.... i loved his voice too , but... it's not as emotinal as the dic & japanese....but i'm not someone who only searches in dub for " hot voice" ,the viz version of his death just wasn't.... good enough...( like seiya ,) naru's voice didn't helped that much either ,but i liked the parts when he dubbed masato sanjoin. ( also notes like " ...this can't be.( episode 21 when his strongest youma were defeated) and the " damn you.... zoisite...." dang.... i rlly liked this one .
crystal dub ;9/10 - i honestly think it worked a lot better in there, and the voice was a lot more fitting ( but i assume it's because naoko choose the voices for the manga , so they sound better in crystal than 90's ( aside for zoisite and kunzite ,who were better in the 90's redub in my opinion)
What song is that in the background of Kevin Kind Nephritis before he dies?
The 90s English dub is sooooooooooooooooo bad! Liam O'Brien has the charisma required to play Nephrite.
We knooooooooow, but some of us enjoyed it anyway.
Fallout New Vegas players will get a kick out of this but Liam O’Brien voiced a lot of characters in FNV but more specifically he played James Garret I believe his name is, who is the guy who gives you the quest to find the sex bot not only that but James Garret has a sister I forgot her name but she was voiced by I believe her name is Cindy Robinson who was also queen Beryl
Mika Cassidy your energy is MINE AAAAHAAHAHA
I used to think that Kevin Lund's Nephrite was actually Scott McNeil
Jedite was a fool......
You can depend on me,my Queen!!!!!!
Love both the Japanese ones... overdone it may be, but I find Kevin Lund's version extremely masculine, and more than a little sexy. >_> The death scene with him tears me up every time...
Liam... meh. I don't generally watch dubs, anymore... Prefer the Japanese.
FOR THE GLORY OF ZEON!
Nephrite es el vato que me hace llorar en mis 32 años que tengo......... ah la voz de Latinoamérica es Mario Castañeda
Nephrite... minh vũ . Tuấn anh.vietnamese . Sailormoon
Nephrite... tuấn anh. vietnamese. Sailormoon crystal
Katsuri did the voice of Speed Racer and Garma Zabi in Japanese, fun fact
wow. new nephrite voice actor is li dian of musou series !
Liam O Brian is a wonderful choice. The old English voice was awful.
Tbh, the only voice I wished returned was Terri Hawks.
take that back I love Kevin Lund
hey I hope he doesn't say I love you Molly within my heart my sweet love you are my rose petal I want spend all my life with you Molly Jacqueline Denise Baker will you Marry me and Molly will be like oh Nephrite yes, yes I will marry you
+Kelsey Wakeman Are you deaf?
+Dane Lang for your information pin head Nephrite loves Molly too much he even cares for her
What?! Sailor Moon have two English Dub?!
The First Dub was done in Two Canadian Studios (DiC for Seasons 1-2 and Cloverway for Seasons 3-4) while a More Recent Uncensored dub was done by Viz Media (dubbing all 5 Seasons and Films).
Nephrite shouldnt die.
Kevin and Liam both are good.
Jedite was a fool....You can depend on me,my Queen. Mwahahah.
Oh hey Nephrite is now a Fire Emblem character now.
Full Missile Aim and a Final Fantasy character.
Kevin Lund was a bit too stiff, though I can't say Liam O'Brien was that much better. I'll have to go with Katsuji Mori.
Kevin Lund's Nephrite has such a strong place in my heart that it's difficult for others to replace it, even if I didn't grow up with Sailor Moon but only watched the DiC dub of the first season three years ago. It was the only season I didn't first watch in Japanese. IMHO the 90s' Nephrite is the best guy in Sailor Moon. 🥰💗😻 Although Kevin Lund's Nephrite is often ridiculed for the raspy and at times over-the-top delivery, I think he really does have nuance. He manages to sound menacing but also businessmanlike, seductive and in the last episode of his arc, even tender.
Kevin Lund and Gaara's voice actor.
Goku's Spanish dub actor
Good one
DAT HAT!! LOL
Kevim
Kevin Lund as Nephlite is really cool especially when Zoisite is Kristen Bishop
Nate Vasquez it’s Kirsten
Kevin Lund deserved an AWARD for his role as Neflite!!
ネフライトざまぁああああん♡♡すきすき星はなんでも知っている❤(。☌ᴗ☌。)いやぁあん♡♡初恋の人ですわー!!!!
Does anyone know what Kevin is up to these days?
He's doing great, focusing more on writing rather than acting nowadays !
@@IngeniousFallacy that's great! thank you.
Kevin. Lund. Sounds very good
God, oh god is Kevin Lund horrible for Nephrite. I feel like nephrite is cool and calm unlike the other four generals. Not only that but his purposefully handsome look better matches his new Viz voice.
Kevin Lund is the real Nephrite the king of sex and lust
Only in the 90s anime though, in everything else he’s as hotheaded and emotional AF
Kevin Lund, awesome as nephrite/Nephlite.
As a person that has heard the Viz dub of Nephrite before the DIC dub, Scott McNeil or Michael McConnohie could've worked better.
Edit: We can all agree on this. Since Nephrite is a bad guy, he could've sounded more evil. Just because you can make a dub more like the original doesn't mean you can't top it.

episode 2:09 anyone
gotta knwo
Kevin Lund was perfect imo.
It seems like half like Kevin Lund with the other half preferring Liam O’Brien. I guess I’ll always prefer Kevin’s take on Nephrite since he gave the character more personality.
Kevin Lund is by far the best
Lund is the best for me
Kevin Lund was the best.
I think Kevin's raspy voice worked better for Nephrite than Liam's pretentious voice.
Agreed! Sounded more eviler... DiC knew how to set the mood!
Agreed. Liam O'Brien could have definitely done a more overtly menacing voice, but for some reason, he was directed to use the tone he did. It makes sense in Crystal, but not for the classic anime.
Joe Young
While I heard the Viz dub before the DIC dub of Nephrite, I agree. They could've used Michael McConnohie.
Really? Liam's voice captures Nephrite's personality perfectly...Kevin's voice is exaggerated and cheesy.
Liam O'Brien's divorce came afterwards. It's more depressing seeing how his wife left him makes it harder to watch.
Why? Why is it harsher in hindsight that he got divorced? Stop using phrases you learned on tv tropes.
ch2010ize what I was trying to say is that every time married voice actors/actresses pair us without their significant other could end their marriages and their lead into divorces. I am worried about Johnny Yong Bosch getting a divorce along with Yuri Lowenthal. It just makes it harder to watch since Mary Mcglynn just got her divorce in 2012
Grant Awa Nope Liam O’Brien is still married from what I have read online to Amy Kincaid (the voice of Shirley from Code Geass) and they have two kids.
dubs should be illegal
