Who Voices Arrietty In The English Dub?

Back when I first sat through 'High School DxD' on a late-night streaming binge, one thing that stuck with me was how perfectly Rias Gremory’s voice fit her character in the English version. If you’re asking who voices Gremory in the English dubs, it’s Jamie Marchi. She’s the one behind the sultry, confident tone that became so iconic for Rias across the series—you’ll hear her in the TV anime, OVAs, and most official English releases handled by Western licensors. For longtime fans who collect credits or watch the end of episodes, her name pops up consistently in the dubbing credits. I’ve always been curious about the people behind voices, so after hearing her work on Rias I started looking into Jamie’s other projects. She’s a prolific voice actor and ADR director who’s worked on a lot of English dubs, so if Rias’s voice grabbed you, you’ll probably recognise her style in other shows too. It’s cool how an actor can shape a character’s Western identity—Jamie doesn’t just read lines, she brings that flirtatious-but-commanding presence that makes Rias so memorable. If you compare the English and Japanese versions, the performances are different in tone but both do a great job conveying the character’s strength and warmth. If you want to double-check credits, look at the end credits of the English episodes, the Funimation/Sony pages, or databases like Behind The Voice Actors and MyAnimeList. They’re great for confirming who played who, and sometimes you’ll find interviews or panels where voice actors talk about their approach to a character. I still smile when Rias makes an entrance—Jamie Marchi’s voice is a big part of that moment for me, and it’s one of those dub performances I happily go back to when revisiting the show.

It's funny how some names stick with you long after the credits roll. In Studio Ghibli's 'The Secret World of Arrietty,' the tiny protagonist's full name is Arrietty Clock. That surname feels so fitting for a borrower family living beneath floorboards, marking time by human rhythms. The Clock surname actually ties back to Mary Norton's original 'The Borrowers' books, which the film adapts—I love how Ghibli kept that detail while making the story wholly their own. Arrietty's full name embodies her family's quiet, precise existence, like little gears in a watch. What fascinates me is how different cultures handle names in adaptations. The Japanese dub uses 'Arrietty' as is, but her parents are named Pod and Homily, just like the novel. There's something poetic about the Clocks being named after objects humans use daily—it mirrors how borrowers repurpose our lost items. Makes me wonder if other borrower families have surnames like 'Cog' or 'Pin.' The film's name choices add layers to that delicate world where thumbtacks become swords and postage stamps adorn walls.

Oh, this takes me back! 'The Secret World of Arrietty' is one of those Studio Ghibli gems that feels like a warm hug, but what some folks might not realize is that it’s actually rooted in classic literature. The film’s based on 'The Borrowers' by Mary Norton, a children’s novel from the 1950s that’s just as charming as the adaptation. I reread it recently, and it’s fascinating how Ghibli kept the heart of the story—tiny people living under the floorboards, borrowing from humans—while adding their signature lush visuals and emotional depth. The book’s Arrietty is a bit more rebellious, too, which makes her dynamic with her parents even spicier. What’s cool is how the film expands on the Borrowers’ world-building. The book hints at their dwindling numbers, but Ghibli turns that into this poignant theme about vanishing magic in the modern world. And that soundtrack! Cecile Corbel’s harp melodies feel like they’ve been plucked straight from the Borrowers’ tiny universe. I’ve got a soft spot for how the film handles the ending—less tidy than the book, but way more bittersweet. Makes you wonder if Homily’s tea sets are still hidden somewhere in my walls...

Man, Goku's English voice is iconic! For most of 'Dragon Ball Z' and beyond, it's Sean Schemmel who brings that energetic, slightly raspy tone to the character. He's been voicing Goku since the late '90s, and honestly, it's hard to imagine anyone else yelling 'Kamehameha' with that same mix of power and goofiness. Schemmel doesn't just voice Goku; he gets him—the balance between childish excitement and warrior intensity. Fun fact: he also voices other versions of Goku, like in 'Dragon Ball Super' and video games. The dude's range is wild—he can flip from Goku’s naive charm to Super Saiyan rage in seconds. Before Schemmel, though, there was Peter Kelamis and Ian James Corlett in earlier dubs, but their runs were shorter. Schemmel’s version stuck because it captured Goku’s spirit so well. Even now, hearing his voice in new projects feels like coming home. It’s one of those rare cases where the English dub actor becomes just as beloved as the original Japanese voice (Masako Nozawa, who’s legendary in her own right).

Eni Arrow's voice in the English dub is brought to life by Brittney Karbowski, and honestly, she nails the character's mix of mischievous energy and underlying vulnerability. I first noticed Karbowski's work in 'A Certain Scientific Railgun' as Kuroko, and her range is insane—she can flip from playful to intense in seconds. With Eni, she captures that cheeky, almost chaotic vibe perfectly, especially in scenes where the character's scheming or ribbing others. It's one of those performances where the voice just fits the personality, you know? Like, I can't imagine anyone else delivering those lines with the same snarky charm. If you're curious about her other roles, she's also stellar as Wendy in 'Fairy Tail' and Rimiru in 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime.' Karbowski has this knack for voicing characters who are deceptively layered—outwardly bubbly but with hidden depths. Eni's no exception, and hearing her play off other cast members in the dub is a treat. Side note: I love how English dubs have gotten so much better at matching the original tone without losing localization nuance.

Mango's voice in the English dub is brought to life by the talented Brianna Knickerbocker, who's known for her work in anime and games. Her delicate yet expressive voice perfectly captures Mango's quirky charm, making the character unforgettable. I first noticed her in 'Re:Zero' as Rem, and her range blew me away—from sweet to fierce in seconds. Knickerbocker’s portrayal adds so much depth to Mango, especially in those subtle emotional scenes where the character’s vulnerability shines through. It’s one of those performances that makes you appreciate voice acting as an art form. What’s cool is how she adapts her tone to fit Mango’s playful yet sometimes melancholic personality. If you’ve heard her in 'Fire Emblem' as Sakura or 'NieR:Automata' as Pascal’s kids, you’ll recognize that signature warmth. It’s no surprise fans often praise her ability to make even minor roles memorable. After binging the dub, I ended up diving into her other works—totally worth it!

Erica Mendez is the English voice of Sword Maiden in the English dub of 'Goblin Slayer'. I’ll say it straight up: her performance brings a soft, haunted quality to the role that fits the character’s tragic backstory really well. I got into 'Goblin Slayer' because I kept hearing about how stark and unflinching it is, and Mendez’s delivery in the dub helped sell the melancholy and weight Sword Maiden carries. There’s a delicate restraint in her lines — she doesn’t overplay the sorrow, but you can feel the trauma and the warmth behind the public persona. The Funimation dub in general leans toward clarity and emotional understatement, and for Sword Maiden that’s a smart choice. If you’re comparing dubs and subs, I think her English take offers a slightly different emotional color but one that works on its own terms. I still catch myself replaying her quieter moments; they linger with me.

Man, I was obsessed with tracking down Luto's English voice actor after binging that show! After some serious digging (and way too many IMDb rabbit holes), I finally confirmed it's Erica Lindbeck. She absolutely kills it—that mix of eerie vulnerability and simmering rage? Chef's kiss. Lindbeck's also voiced characters like Barbie in recent movies and Futaba in 'Persona 5', so her range is wild. I love how she makes Luto sound both fragile and terrifying, like a glass knife. Fun side note: I rewatched Luto's monologue scenes right after learning it was Lindbeck, and suddenly all these subtle vocal quirks jumped out. The way she cracks on certain syllables? Pure artistry. Makes me wanna revisit her other roles just to compare.

Man, finding out who voices Liablue in the English dub was such a fun deep dive! I rewatched some scenes just to appreciate the performance. The character's got this playful yet slightly sinister vibe, and the voice actor nails it. After some digging, I confirmed it's Jād Saxton—she's got this incredible range, from bubbly to downright eerie. I first recognized her from 'Dorohedoro,' where she voiced Noi, and her work here is just as memorable. Liablue's lines have this singsong quality that sticks in your head, and Saxton delivers it perfectly. Now I kinda want to binge the whole dub just to catch all her scenes again. It’s wild how much a voice can shape a character. Liablue could’ve easily been forgettable, but Saxton’s performance gives her so much personality. I love how she balances the character’s whimsy with underlying menace—it’s like you’re never quite sure if Liablue’s about to hug you or stab you. Makes me wish more folks talked about the dub; it’s seriously underrated.

I was rewatching some episodes of that anime recently, and Arelia's voice really stood out to me—it's got this unique blend of warmth and sharpness that fits her character so well. After digging around, I found out it's Yuki Kaji who brings her to life! Kaji's known for roles like Eren in 'Attack on Titan,' but Arelia's tone is totally different—more playful yet mysterious. It's wild how versatile voice actors can be. I ended up falling down a rabbit hole of their other roles, like Meliodas in 'The Seven Deadly Sins,' and now I’m just impressed by their range. Funny how one character can lead you to appreciate an entire career. Kaji’s ability to switch from Arelia’s sly whispers to Eren’s raw screams is honestly art. Makes me want to revisit their other works just to hear the nuances.
