The voice actors imo were a bit meh. Is there any voice actor that could actually voice Rance?

Yeah, I was thinking about Sugita also. It's the only VA that really came to mind. He's done hentai before so his fans wouldn't denounce him like I've read they do sometimes to VAs who star in hentai.

I thought Ranse's voice is fine, even though I'd prefer to have Kazuki Yao back (although I guess he might be a bit too old to voice him right now). But I'm pretty sure I've heard this Rance's voice before. I wonder, who's under disguise?

I heard a lot of voice actors use fake names when they're doing hentai, because weebs will get pissed if they know their "pure" VA did something "filthy" like voicing hentai. It'd ridiculous. I remember hearing Sill's voice from somewhere, I just can't remember it...

Yep... You're correct. They even get pissed if the voice actors get boyfriends. Quite sad....

Nah Sugita voice not really Rance's voice for my opinion. he got pretty deep voice, i can't see Rance with such deep voice. how about this guy?

It really depends. Cases like Hirano Aya are well deserved the indignation, but a lot of the fans still do a lot of well-wishing when seiyuus get married. You can't really single them out as much.

And Rance, it's not just that. A lot of seiyuu's aren't exactly proud that they've lent their voices to smut since that's when they're usually just starting out. They use an alias so as to not ruin their resumes.
I wish Cowboy Bebop never existed.

Voices sound good enough. I'm not saying they couldn't be better, but there are more important things for the staff to take care off - music for example.

The soundtrack was shit for not including My Glorious Days.

Yeah, Rance does sound like Gray from Fairy Tail, who is voiced by Yuiichi Nakamura, that is.


That being said, I think I prefered Yao Kazuki as Rance from Rance: Sabaku no Guardian from 90s...
His voice was always recognizable (since 80s as Judau in Gundam ZZ, till now as Franky in One Piece), and it naturally sounds kinda rough, which fitted Rance's personality.

Current Rance's voice actor, whoever he is, isn't bad, but I can't help but think that he forces himself to sound "antiheroish".

Yeah, you summed my feelings up. Somehow his VA in this OVA doesn't really have the voice that I envisioned. Kazuki was a lot better, but I still don't think he's the perfect fit.
