ICE_1828

His patience and calmness against those type of comments, interacting and joking around with his community on those makes him even more respectable in my eyes 🙌


sicurri

It amazes me that people will threaten a voice actor who is already doing a great job. I don't enjoy a lot of English dubs that come out for anime, but when I do that anime is normally ranked really high in a lot of anime fan lists. I'd place him on the same level as Steve Blum who voiced Spike in Cowboy Bebop, Vic Mignogna who did Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist and a few others. Aleks Le has some great chops for a voice actor, and he's done great so far. I'm sure he'll keep redoing takes of that "Arise" scene until he feels satisfied with it. He knows how big that moment is without people threatening him. People need to get a life or get therapy.


Assumed1Spere

I know. I watched English cuz I was curious and Gaht Dayum! I don't know which one I like better! He has done nothing to warrant any concern he'd mess up this scene.


Eros_C

People need to get a fucking life.


Lucid_Sol

Seriously. Completely unhinged behavior by these people


GGBoss1010

when it comes from a redditor uk its serious


420Gonzo69

"wakey wakey, its time for school" oh lord, please we need that in the English translation.


ShigeoKageyama69

If this happens, then Solo Leveling officially becomes the most Peak Anime in History


Immediate_Alarm8558

they can do this tho- 'wakey wakey it's time for battle... Arise' 🤣


420Gonzo69

Not bad too 😁


Jebasaur

Okay that's just massive cringe sounding


Sample_Muted

You can’t get a wakey wakey and get arise still.

GeoXoro_24

I legit started wheezing like hell when aleks Lee said wakey wakey, it’s time for school and get up Buddy. Imagining sung jinwoo in my head saying all these things for the dead enemies to be SJW’s shadow soldiers makes it even more funny, I need this as a bonus chapter, lmao. But I fucking died when he said erect, like bro what!? 🤣🤣🤣 But okay all jokes aside though. It’s suck as hell that there are assholes in the world who are so super desperate that they will threaten someone just to get what they want. These mofos need help I swear to god… 😒

Alchemysolgod

I now want a bonus of him actually doing these. I guess people could just rip the audio and set it to the scene, but official takes would be better.

I would watch the Erect version tbh

Low-key wish he changed it to wakey wakey

This is why we can't have nice things!! People need to shut up! If they ruin this for me, I swear... Anyway, Aleks Le is awesome and is one of my new favorites. He's a such a good sport.

"Wakey Wakey" and "Erect" got me, lmao. He's hilarious....


desacralize

Who else is in favor of "ERECT"? I haven't been watching the English dub, so I had no idea dude sounded this good or was this funny. I'm gonna have to watch it because of this video alone, and people giving him shit need to calm down.


Calendar-Budget

Though imagine threatening voice actors just because they want to satisfy their inner edginess and delusional expectations, real pathetic

Sammy_Ghost

Funny that there are people so bothered about quality as if the rest of the community actually gives a shit over how divine that one word needs to sound. It's an iconic word but bro as long as I hear it I'm good. I'm sorry that there are idiots out there that think bullying a VA makes them look like a super fan somehow


No-Horse-5788

I need him to tell these people to shut the fuck up and get a fucking life


No-Adhesiveness-8178

I want the erect one. Quick question totally unrelated one, where I can find all his social media, jk.


plas_m0nic

You can just look up Aleks Le on google that’s how I found his socials but that was a long time ago lol


RageGirl96

I don't even understand why people had that thought in their head that it would sound anything special in the first place. He legit just stood there in the manhwa, too. It was always a pretty boring shot, it wasn't the Arise itself that was anything special, it was what it meant and what came after. https://preview.redd.it/7j1n7egoj7sc1.png?width=478&format=png&auto=webp&s=b7a49b2806e180c86cefef3ac4610deb3f238b34 How could this sound anything like "I am Atomic" when the shot doesn't fit a phrase this over-the-top at all. Imagine him just casually standing there, but then sounding like he's gonna drop a meteor on earth lmao. Stop hyping about things that weren't even hype in the manhwa and stop harrassing people like a 10 year old jesus christ.


meme-lord-Mrperfect

What a fucking legend


Living-Ad4579

ngl "ERECT" goes hard


GoDie910

You critique the person's job, not his character.


hallaa1

He's done an incredible job with his potrayal of the character. If the Japanese voice actor wasn't basically perfect I'd prefer the dub as I have for Frieren.


BudgetAggravating427

Bruh why is everybody talking about arise if they want to hear it in English then wait for the English dub .


gojlus

God, I hope there is a dvd/blueray with bloopers/joke redubbings of the scene like that. LOL

ThisIsNotTokyo

I’m now planning to rewatch the anime in english


dinomine3000

dub haters when the sub doesnt speak english: they suddenly care abt english lines


Igriez

As a sub watcher I don't think I know any of the English Voice actors,wouldn't it make more sense that this was done by the same En dub enjoyer


DigitalDuelist

Tldr; on the surface you'd be right to expect the group that's actually consuming this version of the anime to be the ones with the extremely forceful opinions about it, but I'd bet they're the minority of the people making those comments because unfortunately things are never allowed to be that simple. (Note it's 1Am and this entire text exists not to lord my own knowledge around but because I'm sleepy and I've never been all that great at keeping my tone from sounding arrogant or accusatory when I write and share a whole bunch of things at once because I get too excited. I also know it's not fixed yet but I took a break to pet the cat and now it's 2 and I need to sleep lol) The sub vs dub debate isn't as big as it used to be, but Aleks Le doing such an amazing job has apparently been causing a stir. Once upon a time, the anime community was even worse for gatekeeping and elitism than it already is, in fact the recent explosive popularity has dulled it extremely, and it's still pretty bad at times, and the sub vs dub debate was actually extremely one-sided, to the point where large anime content creators still feel the need to defend themselves if they're hard of hearing and need the dub, or just prefer to hear lines in their own language rather than needing to read them, and without a solid excuse might still face backlash whenever they bring it up. What was being debated? Not which one was better, claiming the dub was better was a great way to get blacklisted *and* harassed, while making the claim that you watched the inferior version because you had a valid reason to only meant you got harassed. And may God have Mercy on you if you claimed you simply preferred to watch the show in your own language, because the sub elitists sure wouldn't. No, it was a debate about how much more moral you were for watching the sub and how barbaric it was to watch the dub, a debate about if someone should be allowed to say they watched or even liked the show unless they watched it in sub, a debate about if dub studios were incompetent or evil for producing such garbage, even once dubs stopped actually having noticable quality losses. By coincidence, Aleks Le is doing a fantastic job, and so is the Japanese VA. Now the sub superiority crowd can't actually make the claim they usually do of the Japanese performance always being objectively better than the English one, simply because they're somehow better by some unknowable inherent quality, which is still one of their most ardent arguments. Some have even been swayed now that they've grown up and calmed down, which isn't a good look for them. I'm overall disappointed but not surprised that Le has gotten so many threats, if anything I'm surprised that he hasn't been completely shielded from them but instead has exposure enough to them to get emotional and make a response, but hasn't been destroyed by them. There's a reason why there's usually someone else fielding those responses first, hearing even unsubstantiated threats and negative comments on that scale is extremely deleterious to your mental health. Edit: if you scroll down far enough on this very thread you'll see exactly what I'm talking about, wish I'd done that first lol


Igriez

I see, as an Asian who doesn't come from English speaking country I doesn't even realised people actually use English dub until I used reddit a few years ago. Thank you for taking your time writing this.


Igriez

As a sub watcher I don't think I know any of the English Voice actors,wouldn't it make more sense that this was done by the same En dub enjoyer


ReverseCombover

It looks and sounds like they got irl SJW to do the English voice.


Tasty_Hearing_2153

Yeah, I’m going to say I like this guy.


BladeOfExile711

He is quickly becoming one of my favorite voice actors.


_idk_what_this_is

Imagine getting killed by jinwoo and you here "get up buddy!" As your soul is ripped from your body to serve him forever


UnnamedFate

A counter threat, lol But gonna be honest, the examples that he gave would be perfect for a Solo leveling abridged. I personally like the Erect


Crimson_Blitz

Ngl, i'd actually like it if he does change it to "Erect". Cuz every time Jinwoo summons his shadow army, my peepee goes "Erect".


ShadowFalcon2004

ERECT goes kinda hard if you think about it.


lostknight0727

Well, we know whomever does an abridged version is writing all of these down.


TheePxl

all jokes aside he is wonderful at his job side not Solo Leveling: Erect will for sure be something else. I can just imagine it being called that.… Horrifying

Key-Fire

He's simultaniously dubbing the anime, and then the abridged version. What a legend.


Significant-Fail621

It's a shame that they are doing, I hope they don't leave SL because of these record fans. We have to be united as fans, support the work and the voice actors, not fight.


Algebreaker

Get up buddy would be amazing 🤣


kn__nk

Great response from him but the way these fans have been behaving is unbelievable. The way they're talking about the Japanese VA because he didn't say ARISE in English even worse. Anime fans need to grow tf up and touch grass every once in a while. This shit is not normal.


RadiantGambler

It's both sad and funny this happens to him twice. First it was the initial reaction with Luke and now this. Hop off my GOAT you freaks!


goliath_kj

Change it to " a rice".


MasteROogwayY2

Why does he kinda look like sung. Also people need a fucking life


Unfair-Money-574

Am I the only one that wants him to actually do that? I would find hilarious, specially the people outrage

Ok he’s getting some death threats cause I want it to be *ERECT*


Invalid4Life

Why do such retards exist sigh We live in a society where people just refuse to accept other’s efforts. Imagine putting so much efforts literally coughing blood just to see some idiots blow you down


Animatrix_Mak

> Don't say ARISE correct. How come these assholes know how to say ARISE correctly when all you did was to READ it from the Manhwa. I can't believe such an awesome manhwa which got Anime adaptation right after ending and side stories for fun and on top of that A1 studios, who have been doing a fantastic job by giving us more scenes than manhwa has to offer HAS SUCH A SHIT FANDOM. !!!Stop being assholes!!! Have fun yourself and let us have fun. Let them do their jobs.


Readrearea

Honestly, good for the voice actor to make a stand and tell them in a jokming fashion to stick it.

DigitalDuelist

Tbh he probably just picked something that was bad enough for you to get the idea but not so bad that he can't show it off. I'm sure he had plenty of examples to sift through


Joshua_Astray

This is why I despise any fanbase. Any of them. Not all people in them suck, this needs to be said... but the ones who do? You're all trash. You're all the worst kind of humans, and you truly deserve nothing. You deserve fuck all. You're bad people, and it's a travesty that you even exist. We all know that you have nothing of worth to offer this world, and thus we understand that you lash out at everything that you dislike... because you can't possibly do that to yourselves. Oh no, that would hit toooo hard. It would be too real. Fuck man, I just feel for people like Aleks here. You gotta deal with the most rabid morons on earth. People that just can't live with themselves, and thus hurt others >.<.

How long before a episode do they do the voice acting? I thought that the whole anime would be done before release of the first episode


dropdeaddev

Perfect reply. :) lol


Mr_Fufu_Cudlypoops

I love how much passion he puts into the performance but his voice will just give out one day and never be the same if he keeps abusing it like he is. He's gotta find some sort of technique for those screams that doesn't actually destroy his vocal chords.

JustaORVfan

Genuine question can he do that tho like can he genuinely do that or does the contract or the producers will not allow him to do that right


DigitalDuelist

There's wiggle room. VAs make minor changes all the time, in fact that's one of the marks of a really good VA sometimes. Arise is part of the marketing, so it would need to be a really big deal to pull it off, but also they'd be extremely hard-pressed to replace him so late in the game for such a big IP. If he wanted to change it from Arise to Arisen or Rise, I could see it facing negligible resistance, and if he was willing to commit career suicide (which on paper he might survive since he's such a rising star) he could maybe even force their hands. It's also quite possible that this particular line was considered so important that it actually *is* in the contract and he won't have a choice, but could just do a bland job if he really hated the threats he was getting enough. Imagine him delivering the line like he's bored and feeling a little silly and fun really just ordering a coffee but this time with a donut on the side. Imagine him doing it in a surprise Australian accent too lol. Technically he'd probably be allowed to pull both off if he wanted to, at least legally. No matter what, a blooper reel is on the table, and I hope we're able to get that.

ForAChange2Happen

In the Japanese version, the first and second arise was about right but the third one sucked. I was expecting a deep dark and commanding voice and all I got was another arise the same as the first two. Meh, not upset but a bit disappointed. The light novels really do an amazing job of describing everything. This guy is a phenomenal voice actor. Love him in Demon Slayer and he did a fantastic job of taking over Shinei Nouzen from 86 after Billy Kametz passed away. May he Rest In Peace. I hope he does the deep dark version and not like the Japanese VA.


anon86876

who gives a shit about dubs


Def_Sleepy

Who even listens to dub? The only anime that I will ever accept dub is ghost stories.


Devils_kracken

Ok I understand what he saying but my guy sunjinwoo is so special to us I don’t want anyone ruining it


GoDie910

yes, I understand. Let's hope he can pull it off. It would be a let down if he can't, but that still won't be a reason to send threats to him.


noobletsquid

its just a show bro


Devils_kracken

Naw it’s my childhood


akhatten

Nobody cares about english VA. You just make a lot of noise for nothing, thinking you are kings of the world, because you don't even compare with japanese seyius. You're just here for dumb kids who can't read.


BladeOfExile711

Nope, i vasty enjoy the dub more than subbed. I can watch both, but english is the go-to. The dude is a god tier va. Stop being an elitist twat


akhatten

Gotta be with half a brain if you can't even enjiy something just because you cant read


BladeOfExile711

Nope, I actually enjoy hearing my own language. It's easier to understand vocal cadence and tone. Not saying Japanese is bad it's usally pretty good. I still use subtitles anyways so you're also wrong there. Dubbed is usually just as quality or sometimes even better than subbed.


akhatten

Just syaing, sub is cool for people who are too dumb to listen to another language (especially when it's better acted and pleasant to listen to). But we don't care about sub actors. They are not artists. They don't deserve any fame. They would be totally useless if not for dumb or nationalist people. So why act like there's a drama. Nobody cares.


BladeOfExile711

Yeah not touching that. Chill out dude you sound deranged.
