English dub trailer is here!! Your thoughts, Raven?
You can view the animeβs English dub trailer for yourself here! There were also 5 other dubs announced, including French which implies there is a universe where Rookβs exclamations are βnormalβ/j unless they change it to him exclaiming stuff in a different language.
My thoughts on the English dub trailer:
Interestingly, they replaced the deep-voiced male narrator at the beginning of the trailer with a muuuuch higher pitched and kinda floaty-sounding woman. No opinion on this, the difference just startled me.
Yuuken suits him just fine. Maybe Iβm less judgy of him because he only got a JP voice recently, so thereβs a lot less VAing of him for me to compare to.
Crowleyβs alright too! I like him well enough. I think he has the potential to be way more theatrical.
Grim is too squeaky and lacks the gruff charm of the original. Itβs like they translated the sound a dogβs chew toy makes into understandable English.
Riddleβs nice. He has a patience to his voice thatβs constantly threatening to spill into a maddening rage at the drop of a hat. Not as heavy of a British accent as I was expecting, but enough of a tinge for it to be noticeable.
Cater mildly sounds like a stonerβ¦
Did Trey huff helium or somethingπ§ββοΈ He doesnβt sound like a mature big bro type. I canβt identify the JP VA was announcing Riddle at the tea party (like, was it a mob or was it Trey as the vice dorm leader?), but the EN dub tea party announcer sounded better for Treyβs default voice.
I didnβt realize when Ace ended and where Deuce began; they sound way too similar in the particular voice lines featured in this trailer. Hopefully theyβll be easier to distinguish in the full show.
They used the terms βhousewardenβ and βarcane academyβ, so that seems to confirm to me theyβll definitely use localized terms.
Portions of the Blazing Jewel performance will be streamed exclusively on Disney+ from Oct 24 to Nov 7. (So far this seems to be for Disney+ JP only.)
The Blazing Jewel concert will be distributed on a DVD, available for preorder October 14. It will be shipped out March 18.
A TRAILER FOR BOOK 8 OF THE MAIN STORY DROPPED. It features a short animation of Crowley ominously walking up to the Mirror of Darkness and repeating his speech from the beginning of the game.
Book 7, The Forbidden Executioner, has been announced for January 2026.
An extended PV featuring scenes from books 1 through 7 has also been uploaded.
We hear Crowley, Yuuken, Grim, and the Hearyslabyul boys in the trailer. The full cast list will be up at 9 am PST (~3.5 hours after this post goes live). That cast list will include Yuuken, Grim, Crowley, and all NRC students.
There will be a second announcement closer to October 29 for some other season 1 characters, which I presume will include Chenya.
Anything not disclosed at that point will have to be discovered via watching. (This information comes to us from Mr. Reuben Lack of the Disney English Dubbing team.)
