      Japanese seiyuu's are essentially seen as celebrities. They're just as big as film/live action actors. If they were replaced for no reason (that wasn't from the actor passing away, retiring, OR the original VA getting involved in controversy), it would be viewed as incredibly disrespectful.

      Yeah japan takes VA's pretty seriously. Until a voice actor dies or does something really bad, they become a character for as long as something is linked. What that means is that some stuff might end up years apart so they might change VA's to acomodate a new run time, like JoJo OVA from back then VS JoJo anime series.

    Honestly this is just a testament to how good Kanemaru Jun'ichi's English is, which makes sense considering he also works as an English teacher in addition to being a voice actor. Despite the noticeable accent still, most of the English here is very well-pronounced, and he manages to emote very well even in English. Just listen to that "Tails, no!" and hear the real emotion in his voice.

    Here’s a small detail that some may not notice: as Sonic became more mainstream in America, the US team actually started handling the scripts and those were translated into Japanese, instead of the other way around. This becomes apparent as the lip sync for characters starts to match more with the US voices, as opposed to syncing better with Japanese voice lines as they did before.

      That's true. Then again everything and anything can be made to sound lame, given appropriate context. "Pure Spirit" as an advertising slogan is funny to me as a Slavic person in a slightly different way than it is to an English native speaker (spiryt (pronounced nearly identically) is short for alcohol, usually vodka). I think it's more healthy to embrace the fact that we will sound cringe regardless of wording.
