I could've sworn I posted about this somewhere here before, but a quick search of this board isn't turning up anything.  

Anyway. Earlier this year I ran across the Bomberman 64: The Second Attack Fandub Project. There hasn't been much in the way of updates, but I noticed recently that they finally cast all of the roles. Because I'm a bit obsessive over this game *coughunderstatementofthemillenniumcoughcough*, I went and looked up anything I could find on the VAs. Mind you, it was a pretty cursory search, so if any of y'all happen to be familiar with these folks, post about it because I'm curious about the talent that's going into this project. :idea:

POMMY - EileMonty
AUDIO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b__PqTGZLEY (demo reel @ YouTube)
COMMENTS - Holy shit, she has one hell of a vocal range. Pretty good choice for Pommy, I think.

BHB SOLDIERS - xSeo and Darkwolf
AUDIO - http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?t=55424 (xSeo; "Scyther Cannot Learn Fly")
COMMENTS - Not much to say about xSeo and the role, since it's a bit part in the whole scheme of things. Darkwolf I'll mention later since he also got cast as Molok.

BAELFAEL - COMICAL
AUDIO - n/a
COMMENTS - Uhhhh couldn't find anything on this guy. He's apparently not registered at the VAA board as a user, and of course with SUCH a UNIQUE NAME he's all but impossible to find on Google.

BEHEMOS - D-Mac (VAC)
AUDIO - http://www.devenmack.com/vastuff/ (demo reel)
COMMENTS - I'm not sure if D-Mac Double from VAA is this same guy, but there's someone who goes by that name on both VAA and VAC (Voice Acting Club), so I figured it was worth a shot. Either way, he's also got a wide-ass range, and although he sounds like he plays a lot of really energetic characters, I think he could potentially pull off a Bem voice.

ASHTARTH - Actorman
AUDIO - http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?t=38275 (Zidane in the FF9 fandub)
COMMENTS - Not bad.

ZHAEL - dragonknighttara
AUDIO - http://www.4shared.com/audio/5kRGNYcN/dragonknighttara_demo_winter20.html (demo reel)
COMMENTS - She's pretty good too! I can definitely hear Zhael in her lower voices.

MOLOK - Darkwolf
AUDIO - http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?t=41693 (A couple of Digimon impressions)
COMMENTS - Haven't actually listened yet; he was one of the last ones I found because the order in which I searched for the VAs was rather haphazard.

ZONIHA - sasuya
AUDIO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ItYyfwMygg&feature=related (winter 2008 demo reel)
COMMENTS - At about 0:12 on the winter demo reel, she hits an excellent range for Zoniha. Overall she seems very competent, and I would love to hear her impression of everyone's favorite example of Light Is Not Good.

BULZEEB - Kirbopher
AUDIO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ21hY85pc0 (Sonic Abridged; plays Tails); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OB8EYKXAys (YGO Abridged; plays Noah, 2:16)
COMMENTS - Apparently he's primarily an animator, so I can't seem to find a lot of voice roles for him (maybe I'm not looking in the right places). The two roles I DID find...don't inspire a lot of confidence for him doing this particular role. XD;; But we shall have to see.

LILITH/MIHAELE - Rina-chan
AUDIO - http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/108275 (demo reel); http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/528522 ("Aeris Dies")
COMMENTS - She's got the range for it, although I worry that she might go overboard on the sweetness/cuteness. Apparently she's freakin' everywhere in fandbus and fanimations and AMVs and schnazz - she's even on Wikipedia under her real name.

RUKIFELLTH - sonicmega
AUDIO - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/502549 (Ganon, scene 4); http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/485091 (Fox McCloud, I think)
COMMENTS - I guess the Ganon voice could fit Rukifellth, but he'd have to tailor it a bit.

***

Overall, I'd say that they definitely got good talent for the female (and, erm, cute) side of things. I wish I could've auditioned myself, but I don't have a good range and about the only role I could pull off would be Zhael - I'm not cute enough for Lilith and not fabulous enough for Zoniha. XD

If I don't wield the bomb, I can't protect you. If I keep wielding the bomb, I can't embrace you.

I think I came across this before, but only once. It wasn't too long ago... in fact I forgot what I was looking for which helped me come across it (I think it was an icon for Zoniha or Regulus or something) but I'd be interested to see that pull through... if it ever does as it seems the comments were a while back if I remember correctly (Was too lazy to check the latest posts in the link you gave :P)

The latest post in the thread is technically from last September, but if you check the "last edited" dates on the first two posts, they're from July 2010.

(NOPE NOT OBSESSIVE AT ALL)

Ah, I see. That spreads some hope I suppose.


o rly?

I actually came across this from the link you left on the LJ community like 5 months ago. I thought that it was interesting that is....if they ever continue it ._. Haven't had time to look at the more "recent" edits but I'll look whenever I have time anyways :B

I remember reading about this a long while back, like a year ago I think. It was a pretty neat idea but I eventually forgot about it. Neat to hear there might still be a shot at it happening.

What were they planning to do exactly? Record over the game and post it on youtube or something for people to watch?

That was my impression, yeah. That's what they did with the FF9 fandub that's also linked up there.

That'd be neat to see. Let us know if they end up finishing it or even do some of the scenes. If it doesn't happen soon I'll probably forget about it again. lol
