AX Idol '08 - Arin Hanson as Kamina

[Melotha]

LMAO.

It's Egoraptor,

as SNAKE,

playing KAMINA.

[GracellaLaMagica]

I was there... and I found it easy to masturbate to. :^I

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

is not arin, its aaron

[pugdug808]

arin haaaaanson take a seat take a seat right there

[nawstra578]

id say its too raspy

[Suzuhira1987]

better then the enlish real one... sounds like bit panize

[Hazufrazen]

@Suzuhira1987 thats gohan you are talkin about there...

[monkat7]

He should have been hired for the job. The official VA (while not horrible) was horrible for the part.

[JelloJay55]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT Is this anime?

[thgodofwar]

@JelloJay55 DUDE, it's the most epic (With a capitol E) anime on television. TTGL.

[15EdwardElric]

[Fr564]

LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOOLOLLO!!!!!!! It's EGO PLAYING AS SNAKE PLAYING AS KAMINA!!!!!! TENGAN TOPPA GURREN AWSOME!!!!!

[AtticWarrior1994]

WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM!?!!?!?!

[FlippytheMasterofPie]

No offense to the official voice actors, but when I think of an American dub of Gurren Lagann, I immediately think about this. Although it's not that similar to the Japanese voice it just seems to fit the character more.

[apapalonglong]

the voice for simon is weak though. love kamina "Believe MEEEE!!!"

[LaurikoMilk]

@apapalonglong Simon's is supposed to be weak at this point...

[apapalonglong]

@LaurikoMilk well, still.

[MrInert]

Gurren Lagann. Here I come, Pirate Bay!

[RolandCWilson]

he wasn't hired because it was already dubbed

[TheRaptorJebus]

He made me believe in the Kamina who believes in Simon.

[GnomelandSecurity]

I say that line (without the Kamina part) to my little brother all the time. He is only 6 and doesn't understand what I am saying but he tells his teachers and friends that he believes in me who believes in him. Its rather funny.

[carrieko]

You, sir, are carrying on the true spirit of Kamina! Keep it up! :D

[GnomelandSecurity]

@carrieko

Why thank you.

Still gotta figure out how to incorporate

"Bust through the heavens with your drill"

into everyday speech...

[AtticWarrior1994]

@GnomelandSecurity You are the best older sibling EVER.

[apapalonglong]

wth was that!!!

[Knightway25]

I laughed my ASS OFF! "BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES IN YOU!!!"

[LuminAbyss]

xD He did well, but I think he was too deep for Kamina. Kamina, as manly as he is, should sound more like a rebellious punk in his mid/late teens than a man. o~o that's just my opinion though. He still did a great job, even if his voice didn't fit too much.

[SageVallant]

@LuminAbyss

I think you're going by the american dub, there. If he was speaking Japanese you might mistake him for the seiyuu >.>

Deep is just how it was cast to begin with.

[Syzydeh]

Wait, EGORAPTOR did this?

WHY THE FUCK WASN'T HE OFFICIALLY HIRED.

[MetalFluffyNinja1]

Pierce the heavens with the drill that i hid in my STOMACH!!!

[SWBJACMK]

@MetalFluffyNinja1 AWESOME

[MyShauno]

@MetalFluffyNinja1 AWESOME!

[TheGabaman123]

EGORAPTOR FTW!

perfect Vioce for Kamina: Arin "Egoraptor" Hanson!

[muzzoid]

wow... that was horrible.

[crimx3]

metal gear gurren lagann! WAY better than the other metal gears!

[5wingeddragon]

My favourite line in this is "Go on, I know you can do it buddy!"

x3 And I don't know why.

[AiItSuMo]

Hm... He has the right inflection, but he's a bit deep voiced. If he was just a bit higher, he would be pretty perfect.

[Funderful]

TENGEN TOPPA METAL GEEEEEARRRRRRR

[IamnotTupac]

The balls are inert, Simon.

Srsly, this Kamina just sounds like a rapist.

[PeechyofPeechy]

I thought it was believe in you who believes in yourself?

[aim1221]

First it was "Believe in me who believes in you." Then it became "Believe in you who believes in yourself." The first one was to lift Simon's spirit. The second was for Simon to depend on himself.

[LMNTX]

OH MY GOD METAL GEEER

[MPyre0]

As much as I like Kyle Hebert...his voice just DOESEN'T fit Kamina...

[Pantonesara]

PERFECT

[Nick3889]

Egoraptor + kamina is FUCKING EPICNESS OF EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG METAL GEAR !!!

[Fidel3652]

Solid Snake Lives!!!! MGA

[Isaia]

mantastic

[Girtych]

Egoraptor would have made such a damn awesome Kamina... the current English dub just bites. He's supposed to be halfway to batshit insane, but the dub just makes him sound like a wimp.

[ZippermouthDune]

CHILLS!!!!!

[TheHelldragon]

I would watch the fuck out of the dub if Egoraptor did Kamina.

[xeinkolt]

I agree :0. This is juat too awesome.

[claw7705]

Optimism! Optimism! Now we have a formidable voice actor candidate for those who wish to make gurren lagann fan flash movies

[bboypui]

awesome but a little TOO deep for knamina, otherwise awesome, 5 shtar!

[qwert25]

Why isn't he a proffesional voice actor?

[headshot1980]

I'm pretty sure he's trying to break into that industry eventually. He did just move to california to be closer to the recording studios and animation studios, as well as other reasons for the move.

[pianomatteo]

actually he lives in florida now. but he did do the voice of Hulk for activision so i think he is starting to make a name for himself that's for sure.

[ZippermouthDune]

dude

he sounds so manly....

how is he not the real american kamina dub?

[chaosking256]

Dude...

Fuckin' A.

[TkMis]

Fuck this, he should be doing these jobs, he's better than the originals.

[ALxMUALIM]

sounds like egoraptor :/

[Mishota]

cuz it is.

[anonymousguyoverhere]

I came.

[EvilJesusWTF]

better than the offical dub XD

[Monocoleboy]

It's a great voice, but it sucks that he didn't get the part. ):

[gunsofthemamaluigi]

LISTEN DONT BELIVE IN YOURSELF BELIEVE IN ME WHO BELIEVES ON YOU YOURS IS A DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?!?!?! xD vg cats

[sagaranna]

so gar sexy grrrrrrr

[InfuserGod]

I can just hear Kamina screaming: WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!? in his Solid Snake voice.

[wizofhell]

did rina-chan compete this year?

[COBRARocky]

She damn well better have

[wonchopmonkeyman]

Considering she already won last year and got a job doing voices, no. She did make an appearance though.

[ElRomno]

Goddamn his voice is man incarnate.

[ElNodu]

Holy crap, He could use that voice for anything!

Egoraptor= man

[tyvb]

Wrong.....Egoraptor=a=AwesoMAN­

[darkonin]

WTh egoraptor rocks !!

and even his snake voice is so coooool

Awesome religion yeah!

[zatchbell111]

It's a shame he didn't end up winning. These three all deserved to be the official dub actors in my opinion. It's going to be so weird now hearing any other voices for them. =(

[wizofhell]

who r the other 2?

[dkdrockZ]

egoraptor is kamina XD XD XD, i knew i heard that voice but I couldnt remember were, kamina is SNAKE!?!?!?!? WUHHHH!?!? srry dis jus blew me away, he did the whole show?

[Decembirth]

people comment that this should have been the voice, but if it actually were. you would be commenting on a different clip how you dont like it.

same goes for fandubs. people compliment, but when a longtime fandubber actually gets an official role, the comments turn sour.

anime fans these days are never satisfied. i feel many are spoiled

the clip itself is amusing though

[VenomGundam]

its better than the acutal voice actor for kamina in the dub

[Foreignstar]

I think it was a pretty cool voice, Well, heck I dunno as long as Kamina sounds like a fucking man, then GOOD.

[Bonehimer]

I thought it sucked. He shouldn't use the "snake" voice all the time or put effort into distinguishing them. One trick pony is all i am seeing.

[Domexpo]

it's not the snake voice, it just sounds like because of the way he is talking. jeez give some credit to voice actors. its like Seth Macfarlane with family guy

[Bonehimer]

"it's not the snake voice, it just sounds like because of the way he is talking"

what? Either way i am not the only person that think he sounds too much like snake. I will give him credit when he gets better at it.

[Domexpo]

When I mean the way he is talking, I mean how he exaggerates his voice,

"listen simone don't believe in yourself, believe in ME!"

[AdaMtehMaN]

simon sounds like t-bone

[creditsx3]

i am the biggest arin hanson fan and i freaked when i saw this

[ShadowTH555]

he sounds alot liek crispin freeman 0.o when he talked for the grey wolf in wolfs rain ...weird?

[BotenoRV]

Grande Egoraptor! Sei un mito! By Italian fans

[KisameKing739]

Wow, Egoraptor Has an Epic Kamina Voice. O . O

[GreyFox23]

At least he can pronounce Simon like he's not trying to say semen. That annoys the heck out of me with the US dubs right now.

[ZeroRasmus]

all I can think about is Solid Snake :P

[gangsterlax]

i need to hear giga drill breaker

[gangsterlax]

sounds bad ass i like it better than gohans voice >_>

[TasslehoffFTW]

I have never seen this anime, so I don't know if this is good or bad. But the way he says it sounds cool!

[Striker183]

I demand that Egoraptor should make a Flash called AWESOME Lagann

[XPISigma]

That would be... AWESOME!

[KadajHyro]

damn egoraptor... he has the best voice for kamina... makes me sad that he isnt doing his voice. (my only complaint about the english dub was that kaminas voice wasnt manly enough)

[kenshinboy22]

EGORAPTORS AWESOME FOR KAMINA!!

[Elim777]

"Believe in MEEE!!!"

HAHAHAAHAHAHA

[CMK144]

he defiantly has some talent, i guarantee hes going to get a role of some kind eventually

[luigiscool]

Semon? god that sounds too much like semen

[Zelkiiro]

Considering the Japanese pronunciation was "She-moan", I think "See-moan" is a bit more natural.

Also, See-moan is the original French pronunciation of Simon.

[Raven101xoxo]

gr8 dub

[takanuva114]

Don't believe in yourself...

Huh?

Believe in ME! Believe in Kamina, pleasing you!

What's that mean?

[flckfsglls888]

He says "believe in me, believe in kamina, believe in you."

[agent00x]

no he didn't, he says "believe in ME, best believe in a kamina who believes in you"

[Zelkiiro]

"Believe in ME! Just believe in the Kamina who believes in YOU!"

[ViewtifulBeck]

It's "believe in me thus believe in Kamina who believes in you".

[prede89]

this guys scary, I'll stick with Kyle Hebert

[maguma]

that scared you?

[flckfsglls888]

Did you see kyle hebert's pic?

[TANKMODEENGAGED]

Egoraptor didn't get the part.

SciFi airs the dub on Mondays.

[BLUESON10]

I Know he didnt won, and I think Ego would be very good as Kamina, I mean in this Particular Part, he was good, especially when he was saying, "As Kamina who Believes in you" with a Growling Tone, which was awesome, Cuz, I dont know, Kamina sounds like that kinda guy if he was in the US Version, so Yeah, Ego Hope you get a Part soon.

[CUniverse]

Wait...that was Egoraptor? Metal Gear Awesome Egoraptpor? The cool points of this has gone OVER 9000!

[Hauuauuauuu]

Dammit, this guy should have been Kamina's VA.

[WingsOfHermes]

Awesome, that could actually make for a good english dub for once :p

[bcbird]

wow, good cover

[jmahuen]

Egoraptor sounds awesome

[DancingOtaku]

EGORAPTOR!!! FUCK YEAH!!!

[maguma]

Lol he came in first place

[MasatheMasta]

This Kamina is better than the one used by the dub. He sounds like a REAL man.

[maguma]

AMEN FAGGET

[plcrank]

LOL MAGUMA's a Fag name!

[maguma]

LOL DICKBUTTS

[TheLordofShell]

He sounds like a rapist...

[Firefret30003]

He should change his name to AWESOMERaptor!

[ZachThePanda]

God his voice fucking sucks

[ninjacowsattack]

lol go egoraptor!

[invshika]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

[XINKAI]

i dunno about you guys but i thought that arins voice matched up perfectly and suited kamina

[IfritAxel]

HIGH FIVE!!!!

Kamina need this voice ;(

[kof1lover]

WTF WAS WITH KAMINA'S VOICE? Was I hearing Solid Snake or something?

[LinkG07]

Its Arin Hanson (Aka: Egoraptor of the awesome series)

[IfritAxel]

haha,this guy (Egoraptor) did Metal Gear Awesome,that's why you may take him as Snaaake xD

[Pianogod9]

That's kind of what I was reminded of.

[PureWaterGuy]

Yeah this guy was better than the Kamina VA we got now. But the guy now aint that bad, episode 2 sounded hell of a lot better than 1

[xTh3Nightmar3x]

Even though he sounds like he's trying way to fucking hard at some parts...

[ZeppTokyoChita]

The new english version seen on Sci-Fi was a dissapointment due to Kamina's voice actor. Hoping it isn't going to be the one to listen to throughout the whole english version.

[Fireworkatheart]

I wouldn't worry about that, he's only around for 8 episodes.

[LionheartMachinima]

Damn...

HE SHOULD DO THE GODDANG DUB!!

He's so much better than anyone who could replace him.

Although, they should put on a bit more...

[Nogahs]

Egoraptors voice would make gurren lagann into gurren AWESOME.

Srsly tho, his voice is better than the actual dub showing on sci fi tonight.

[Nwizard2]

Sounds way too much like Snake....

[xiopxspartan]

their voices sound better in jap and should not be changed or get better voice actors

[Delunaith]

If you want to watch it in Japanese, then watch it in Japanese. It's not like you're strapped to a chair being forced to watch it. Now stop whining.

[BladeNinja009]

I agree with Delnuaith bottom line some perfer dub or sub watch what you like and dont complain cause no one here really cares. I watch both personally

[milruka]

you know, this is personally, i hope none of them ever get a part in this anime ever, i just don't think there voices match at all, <3 maybe cause i actually watched the sub version first for a change.

-kk-

[XPISigma]

Maaaan. Egoraptor should have been Kamina's voice actor for the dub.

[listenlovelaugh]

i was there... i didnt know it was egoraptor but i thought he was really good and should have won but the other girl did.

[harestardai17]

no way, i thought this was a real clip from the english gurren lagann! He was really good as Kamina! (i seriously thought it was the real thing!)

[ShizueMadelle]

Only if they let him be Kamina in the dub, then it'd be better

[XeryuNoKage]

This guy would've won if they let him voice "Who the hell do you think I am?!".

[blurblurblur]

wow.. that's actually how i pictured kamina's voice too. such a shame that they got some other guy voice acting instead. the new guy makes kamina sound like an idiotic surfer.

and i also loved yoko's voice. simon.. is a different story.

[XxXAtomskXxX]

No way......egoraptor is fucking good

[Vensii]

Does everyone else reply really rudely? Aww~ Good luck with the bed hair!

[Vensii]

They praised him very well, but I don't think they knew who he was. The judges were people in the industry - directors and such. Bang Zoom is a studio here in America that works on anime dubs, although I don't know anymore more than that. I don't know details about the audition either, I'm sorry. That's all the information I can provide you with at this time. Perhaps someone else will reply with a better response.

[Vensii]

Nah, at AX Idol you voice for a certain character from a certain show, competing against four other people. If you win you get a tour of Bang Zoom's studio, and an audition.

[ThorkellTheTall]

Better than any official dub.

[rei336]

EGORAPTOR!!!!!

[Obviously]

Soooooooo much better than the current voice.

[IfritAxel]

This voice make's me orgasm...RLY

[gemlps]

I would have liked that Ego did the Kamina's voice. Both of them are awesome!

[UncleShoveit]

Arin's got the role hands down better than Kyle IMO. Hope he goes far into the biz :)

[Jeffitude]

Ego has amazing voice :o

Great job man.

[ClavitoPAZ]

EGORAPTOR KICKS TEH SHIT

[craigtso3]

It seems that only Egoraptor can make a dubbed anime not suck. He was the best voice actor in the clip!

[W4ng4n470r]

yea he's more "epic" than the original

[LockhartLoveless]

Whoo, Egoraptor!!

[generalgm]

I actually prefer ego's voice better than the current.

[Bonehimer]

Would had prefer it to the current kamina

[Xhaleon]

Oh, goddamit, Egoraptor strikes again.

Meh, a little off on the personality, but nonetheless better than what we have as the official.

[RubberRoss]

Thanks for posting this. Arin's here with me now.

I think he should have had more lines..

[SRFilms]

I still think he would have won if he was given more lines.

[generalgm]

I feel the same...Is that all he had to work with?

[SRFilms]

yup

others got like 4 to 6 lines

[vbabe1]

actually, I think each were given about 3 very short lines. I don't think it was fair to anyone.

[EDbringer]

sounds like Solid Snake
