| The English dub cast has been announced for Hayao Miyazaki's latest and last film "Kaze Tachinu" (The Wind Rises). The cast includes: Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Jiro Horikoshi, main character Emily Blunt: Nahoko Satomi, love interest John Krasinski: Honjo, Jiro's college pal and fellow aviation engineer Martin Short: Kurokawa, Jiro's grumpy boss Stanley Tucci: Caproni, Italian airplane creator Mandy Patinkin: Hattori, senior designer at Mitsubishi William H. Macy: Satomi, Nahoko's father Werner Herzog: the mysterious Castorp Mae Whitman: Kayo, Jiro's younger sister, as well as Kinu, Nahoko's caretaker Jennifer Grey: Mrs. Kurokawa Darren Criss: Katayama, one of Jiro's engineering colleagues Elijah Wood: Sone, another of Jiro's colleagues Ronan Farrow: Mitsubishi employee In an interview with USA Today, Gordon-Levitt said in regards to the film, "The Wind Rises" is "clearly the work of someone who's a master at their craft." Rather than imaginary creatures and worlds, "this one is more grounded in human beings and a historical moment in time. He goes on to say that "there's still a flavor of magic in it as you go inside the mind of this aeronautics engineer and you see him walking on the wings of airplanes in his dream."

| Cool. Haven't even watched this yet, so seeing a dub cast is pretty neat. |

| I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt so I think I actually will watch the dubbed version (eventually). But lol at John Krasinski, William H. Macy, and Elijah Wood. I'm eager to see how the dub turns out. |

| I wish MAL would add the cast to the database already so I can put ❤❤❤JGL❤❤❤ into my favourites. |
 |
| This means that this will more than likely go to theaters. Can't wait. |
| First time I am actually looking forward to a dubbed version of anything Anime related. Granted I will probably watch this film in Japanese first, but this is a pretty decent A-list cast. Unlike some previous dubs where they cast Disney Stars and siblings of Disney Stars. |

Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |
| That is a very odd cast. Might be the first anime I'll watch dubbed in like 6 years. |

| Slightly related: I stumbled over to Twitter after seeing this news and found out JGL IS ALSO PRODUCING A MOVIE OF NEIL GAIMAN'S SANDMAN HOLY SHIT ARE YOU MY FAVOURITE PERSON EVER NOW OR WHAT? |
|
| The cast is a nice little suprise. I usually don't want English dubs but I'll see if I make an exception here. Also: >Elijah Wood |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |

| I haven't seen this yet, but I really like Joseph Gordon-Levit and I bet Darren Criss's character is gonna be great, considering how funny he normally is. |

| John Krasinski? omfg i'm watching this |
| That. cast. is. fuckin. HUGE. HOLY SHIT! |
| Oh wow. I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt. So this might be my first time watching something dubbed before subbed and my first time watching a Ghibli movie. The movie still looks so unappealing to me in so many ways like the rest of Ghibli movies.... |

MajinSaga said: Some random Japanese person does not. Since when is Hideaki Anno just some"random Japanese person"? haha I get your point though. It's nice to see JGL and Emily Blunt back together, especially since I've just seen Looper. |

| Woah that's quite a interesting cast alright. Might actually give the dub a try. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| as expected, miyazaki's film always have top-notch dub |

GZTC said: NoSurrender1690 said: not one real va in the bunch baf cast English voice actors suck. These are actual genuine actors. There's a reason why Ghibli dubs are actually good. Are you serious? The traditional English VA are actual actors as well. Only difference between English VAs are they didn't have the talent to get Live Action jobs so they turn to Voice Acting. And if you aren't convinced actual A-list actors aren't better than English VAs, just go look at every Pixar Film. Most of them are stock full of A-List Actors/Actresses and they do one hell of a job (ex. Toy Story). |
| I don't watch anime dubs, but that cast is too good to pass by. I wanted to watch this anyway, but I guess I'll just wait until the dub is out. Has it been announced yet when that will be? |

| That is one heck of a dub cast! And some of them do have VA experience, JGL and Martin Short in particular. |

| > Joseph Gordon-Levitt > William H. Macy > Elijah Wood Sold |
| Ghibli, dub and original, are no different than Disney. I think Miyazaki said that he didn't want his characters to sound like "typical anime", but real humans, thus he doesn't hire pro seiyuu (unless they often due Japanese dubs). Something like that. Still, I can't help but see "Hollywood influence". But for some reason I'm actually really intrigued. and Elijah Wood and Short should be trustworthy (nod) |
 |
| Watching for JGL <3 Has he ever done any voice acting work though? Hopefully this turns out good. |
| It will be hilarious to see lots of people adding JGL and Jim John Krasinski to their favourites. Count me in the latter group. |
 |
| JGL is a turd irl but I will concede that he has a nice voice. lol why is Ronan Farrow in this. GZTC said: NoSurrender1690 said: not one real va in the bunch baf cast English voice actors suck. These are actual genuine actors. There's a reason why Ghibli dubs are actually good. Billy West, John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille, Rob Paulsen, Frank Welker, Phil LaMarr, Maurice LaMarche are only a few examples of English-speaking voice actors who are superb. You may not know their names, but if you've watched anything animated out of the US in the past oh, 20-30 years, you know their work. |
