England's Voice Actor and 2 Seconds of America

[americanheroal.livejournal.com]

So Scott Freeman landed the role of Arthur Kirkland. This is Scott's first major roll and has been working as a background voice actor for a while with Funimation.

Youtube and FB is buzzing with comments and opinions and so it's our turn. What do you think of the English voice for England? (Or "Bri'en" as America seems to call him)

By the way, if you enjoy watching Hetalia online then I suggest you get the DVDs. It chalk full of extras including interviews with the Japanese voice actors.

... I just got the image of Arthur having a major split personality problem O__O;; Haha, yeah you're right he can't be the anthropomorphism of the UK for this reason.

Yes, it's because people think we sound gay! The whole "I'm not gay, I'm just British!" thing? Oh yes. Personally, I think that England is gay in canon, so I was over the moon when they made him sound like that XD

I'll be watching, but yeah the Britain thing will annoy me a lot. He'll always be England to me ;-;

Yeaah that's why I said I'm not sure because.... England /is/ gay xD and I totally think England is gay in canon (why ON EARTH would I be here otherwise? xDDD)

Oh well, I also can't wait to hear him in a more serious/sinister situation xDD
