Back In The Lab

Ronald: OH MY GOSH, IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING.

Othello: *ties shoelaces*

I can’t stop drawing these two when I don’t even know would they even hangout with each other or not—but anyway

💩 for a shitpost

Thanks! 🖤

I’m not familiar enough with all the seiyūs out there or even all the English language voice actors, and I’m not sure I would choose one of the ones I know about.

But I do have headcanons for his voice. I imagine it’s normally a little bit high pitch for a guy, but he doesn’t sound like a woman. More like the stereotypical vocal affectation often given to “out and proud” gay men… but subdued. How do I put this? I do interpret him as a gay man, and that it shows subtly in his speech and some of his mannerisms… so he’s not particularly flamboyant. He lowers his pitch when he wants to sound serious/dangerous, but it automatically goes up again if he starts to yell. Also, he should have a general tone that comes across as geeky and pedantic… and even slightly sadistic. However, his speech patterns also strike me that he’s still largely the slacker he claims he used to be. Whoever voices him…. I’d want them to give his voice all this complexity!

In my mind, the sound of his words to Undertaker and Grelle when they both confront Undertaker in ch141/142 is freaking hilarious. He’s trying to sound intimidating, but that approach works just as well as his exercise equipment. After all that cricket practice, our earl could throw a trainee death scythe farther. 😏

Even better might be the Japanese va for Ken Kaneki. Natsuki Hanae also does “Tora” from Absolute Duo and Fumiya Kindo from Beyblade Burst Rise. I could definitely see him at least portraying “younger” Othello, possibly current Othello, too.

But thanks to this by @saclarclay, I checked out the source. Now, I would love to hear Hiroshi Kamiya doing Othello’s voice. He’s really good at lowering his voice when he wants to sound “dark” and raising the pitch when needed, too. Got a long list of characters, including Uramichi Omota from Life Lessons With Uramichi Oniisan, Levi in Attack on Titan, Mephisto Pheles in Blue Exorcist, and Yato in Noragami. And he’s worked for some time with Daisuke Ono, not just in anime, but also as radio show hosts for Dear Girl: Stories.

Did some looking around online, and Yuuki Anzai’s (Devil’s Line) seiyū has an amazing range, so I’d also love to hear Yoshitsugu Matsuoka portray Othello.

Uramichi Omota and Yuuki Anzai are voiced by Adam Gibbs in the English dubs. He also voices Shinichi Izumi from Parasyte and Ryouma Ichijou from Love Stage!!, among many others. His voice is very smooth. Too smooth for Othello, IMO. Too bad, since Gibbs was born in Texas, just like me (and Finny’s English dub voice actor, Jason Liebrecht).
