Akira - Tetsuo Shima
Comparision of the voice over actors who have been the voice of Tetsuo Shima with sound clips and images.
Tetsuo Shima, one of the most famed "Tragic Cases" in all of anime history. In the 1989 dub of the movie we have lesser known VA Jan Robson as Tetsuo and it doesn't seem to be THAT bad. (Granted the way he and the others pronounced "Kaneda" in the old dub did feel a bit awkward.) However in the modern dub we have Joshua Seth as Tetsuo and this is quite possibly his finest performance. (But then again Joshua Seth did mention on how Tetsuo is quite a dream role of his and it showed and its one of the reasons why its a shame Joshua Seth is retired from voice acting.) But while Jan Robson wasn't that bad I am definitely going with Joshua Seth here.

eddy said at 1:08 PM on Sun Aug 30 2009Well, Joshua sounds more like a teenager, allright, but I must say that I've had both versions and the first one (so Jan), stays in my mind as the "original" one.

mvx248 said at 11:47 AM on Sun Feb 21 2010Joshua Seth would have been better if he wasn't so monotone. Instead, he brought the 2001 dub down. Jan Rabson put far more emotion and meance into the role.
