Bro and Anairis Quiñones is Puerto Rican too. (I know that bcs as a Puerto Rican myself, its my duty to know this sh*t lol). I personally got to know about her through gacha games. She's the English voice for Lynette in Genshin Impact, and she also voices Sugar and Centi in NIKKE (my fav gacha game). I was a fan of her voice as soon as I heard it. My boi got lucky AF. Anyway she's not the topic of this short so idk what im yapping about here lol. Ignore me.
@ Yeah bcs of a riot thingy. I dont know anything about that tho. But yeah in NIKKE there's also some VAs missing. The one I really feel the difference the most is Ratana. Her voice is just so iconic and having someone else voice Scarlet and Vesti while she's on riot or whatever really feels off. She voices Hatsune Miku is Genshin so idk if her voice has been replaced over there too. (I haven't played Genshin is like 8 months cuz I don't really care about the game anymore. So... yeah. Btw Ive been a Ratana fan ever since she said on one of Zach Aguilar's streams that she loves Puertoricans. I got starstruck since then lmao. But as to Anairis, I like when she does the "mommy voice" like she does in Nikke with Sugar. And fun fact, if you wanna hear Furina's VA do a mommy voice too, Nikke has it. She voices Mary who is the literal definition of a milf lol. And Qeqing's VA voices Rapi, the main character of the game other than you of course, and Alice who has a drastically different childish voice lol. Oh and Kuki Shinobu's VA voices 2B here too!

Everyone in the comments is saying how perfect AJ Beckles is as the voice of Okarun, so I'd like to remind everyone that if idiots like Sungwon Cho and others had their way, AJ would've never been considered for the opportunity because he's black and the character Okarun is Japanese. Always remember that in voice acting, it shouldn't matter if you look like the character. What matters is ability.
Okarun has probably one of my favorite voices from the show besides Momo and oh my gosh hearing the story is just absolutely adorable❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ what a lad

He's currently on Bluesky laying low while thousands of users are furious with him
Who knows? People go to crazy extents to expose someone they hate and knowing it’s twitter, the social media app with the most problematic community, it’s possible that just saying things won’t be the worst things.
@@Hekio..o Especially considering that Japanese artists like the one from PopTeamEpic with the Marina fanart (and Nintendo being attacked because they depicted Nessa and Bea slightly lighter due to lighting etc.) are being bullied into submission and driven off social media by WESTERNERS. If they can complain, so can everyone about the horrible black edit of Okarun and Momo and about the tweets AJ did. „Their IQ is so low that they don’t know what discrimination means“ The Japanese are in that point right; westerners, mainly US ones, are hypocritical and having double standards and are ignorant of themselves. It’s absurd „It‘s just fanart! Don’t make a drama!“ Let’s see that once we depict characters like Static Shock, Fillmore or other iconic black characters with ‚white edits‘.
Anairis Quinones also voices Lynette in Genshin Impact, Hinasuru in Demon Slayer, Iris in Pokémon, and Feixiao in Honkai Star Rail along with other roles
he didn't attack POC. the only "wrong" thing he's ever done was contradict himself. that doesn't mean he deserves to lose his job and all he's worked for.
Im happy he got a dream role but its a shame he doubled down on the "black people should be allowed to voice japanese and white characters but not vice versa" and raceswapping before crashing out and saying everyone was racist when they didn't agree with him.
His tweets were from 3 years ago when people were discussing the voice changes of Cleveland Brown and Carl from the Simpsons and plus it's stupid people wanted to dig up old tweets from years ago just because they were mad he changed his pfp on twitter. He didn't deserve the harassment he got over a fucking profile picture
Honestly, I don't think him putting a black Okarun as his profile pic should have had backlashed. Japan is using the black community for their opening and yet when someone portrays a character as another race(the same race that they're using in their media), the person is attacked. AJ was just trying to to be supportive. As far as I'm aware(I don't know everything) AJ is just trying to do a nice thing, perhaps misguided by society's standards

Wait, isn’t a black dude voicing an Asian character racist these days? I am not American so I don’t understand . I hear this happen, you have to match color or you are racist.

@@hunn1dbands Japan does care. There had been similar issues since a long time, but western tourists dismiss it and act obtuse Meanwhile we get Japanese artists being bullied by westerners for drawing characters a tad lighter by being called racey. And that they just say that Japanese are just discriminatory to all non-Japanese people.
The most powerful people ever are weird race agitators on Twitter, I'm sure they'll manage to convince Netflix to disrupt production over something normal people don't care about lol
@@abryn6864 Tbf, that‘s a valid reason and doesn’t belong to ‚dumb‘… I would categorize it as ‚completely off the rails and lunatic‘. I give points to that… but AJ could‘ve avoided it by simply being respectful to white and Japanese people by not doing a ‚rule for thee but not for me‘ thing. Not that I‘m NOT saying he deserved being threatened like this; no one does frankly… But this whole desaster was avoidable if AJ wasn‘t doing a ProZD and just stayed as an impartial VA
I think AJ Beckles’ biggest win was when he got to do that web series about the Pokemon TCG and got to sing a cover of the 2nd opening of the anime without copyright strike (look up Path To The Peak)
With how this voice actor has shown to be as hypocritical as he is I dislike him quite a bit and I haven’t heard his voice acting as of yet I’m not a dub watcher but I have heard miriko’s voice in dub thanks to me watching to many UA-cam videos and channels with background voice acting that I heard her voice she seems a decent voice actor however can’t say the same about AJ and his attitude for anything
@ is that what you have to say about criticism that’s childish don’t you think I just said his attitude is hypocritical because of tweets he has made and then I even praised the other voice actor I said miriko cause that was the only one I have heard and it sounds pretty good therefore I said decent as that’s the only work I have heard yes I watch my hero but it does not mean I like its fandom the anime and its fandom I feel are separate in its own aspects as well the fandom is awful as we all know with the gay ships that everyone wants and then literally threatens the creator for something they dislike is also very childish
@@DarkFaeCosplay and a little further to add onto the little conversation your profile picture is one of the reasons he is under fire as people get so upset if a minor detail is off on a person of colour be it that black chick from splatoon like her colour being slightly brighter people have went ballistic and called it white washing but when it happens to an Asian or white character or black washing people say nothing it’s hypocrisy at its finest and when someone started to call it out he deactivated his twitter like everyone who is in the wrong usually does

@@an0rangutan i guess that's the only nitpick i have of him that's sort of fair tbh. he still didn't deserve to have the KlanKaKlan side of the fanbase attacking him over fanart though.
@@DarkFaeCosplay you know damn well it ain't just the art that was a problem
"The girl not the studio. " 😂
Ah yes the racist dub VA
not just Okarun and Shiki, both AJ and Natsuki share the same VA for Gremmy Thomeaux from Bleach
not to mention he also stirred up japan for supporting the blackwashing of japanese characters.
Why the hell I can't escape echidna in every anime short I see today
Btw turbo granny's voice actor was luffy
HUHH
Romance on the Set is Confirmed Aj and Mirko's VA
Lol now he's getting canceled by Japan because he's doesn't understand double standards.
"by Japan"
@ yes, by Japanese people with Japanese accounts.
What is there not to understand?
@@Radio-97 Japan doesn't care. Some japanese accounts from a fringe community on Twitter isn't Japan
@ Japan does care. Read the news. And it isn’t an issue since yesterday. It’s been long going
But westerners dismiss it easily and don’t care about it at all, being very biased
@@hunn1dbands Japan does care. There had been similar issues since a long time, but western tourists dismiss it and act obtuse
Meanwhile we get Japanese artists being bullied by westerners for drawing characters a tad lighter by being called racey.
And that they just say that Japanese are just discriminatory to all non-Japanese people.
So, connections. Like how some actors are always in movies with the same characters and type-casted.
Shame about his twitter opinions tho
Reminder that Turbo Granny’s VA is Mayumi Tanaka, Luffy’s VA, and I’m pretty sure Serpos have the same va as Zoro
Too bad they both gonna get fired lmfao
The most powerful people ever are weird race agitators on Twitter, I'm sure they'll manage to convince Netflix to disrupt production over something normal people don't care about lol
You must be dumb if you think dumb Internet drama is going to get them fired
@ Why would he suddenly delete everyone of his comments then if it’s apparently ‚dumb,, hm?
@Radio-97 People were threatening to kill him
@@abryn6864 Tbf, that‘s a valid reason and doesn’t belong to ‚dumb‘… I would categorize it as ‚completely off the rails and lunatic‘.
I give points to that… but AJ could‘ve avoided it by simply being respectful to white and Japanese people by not doing a ‚rule for thee but not for me‘ thing. Not that I‘m NOT saying he deserved being threatened like this; no one does frankly…
But this whole desaster was avoidable if AJ wasn‘t doing a ProZD and just stayed as an impartial VA
His wife lookin at him flirt with mono va:🙂
Time to only watch it in sub now🙂
I think AJ Beckles’ biggest win was when he got to do that web series about the Pokemon TCG and got to sing a cover of the 2nd opening of the anime without copyright strike (look up Path To The Peak)
With how this voice actor has shown to be as hypocritical as he is I dislike him quite a bit and I haven’t heard his voice acting as of yet I’m not a dub watcher but I have heard miriko’s voice in dub thanks to me watching to many UA-cam videos and channels with background voice acting that I heard her voice she seems a decent voice actor however can’t say the same about AJ and his attitude for anything
Y’all becoming the mha fandom already. Toxic
@ is that what you have to say about criticism that’s childish don’t you think I just said his attitude is hypocritical because of tweets he has made and then I even praised the other voice actor I said miriko cause that was the only one I have heard and it sounds pretty good therefore I said decent as that’s the only work I have heard yes I watch my hero but it does not mean I like its fandom the anime and its fandom I feel are separate in its own aspects as well the fandom is awful as we all know with the gay ships that everyone wants and then literally threatens the creator for something they dislike is also very childish
@@DarkFaeCosplay and a little further to add onto the little conversation your profile picture is one of the reasons he is under fire as people get so upset if a minor detail is off on a person of colour be it that black chick from splatoon like her colour being slightly brighter people have went ballistic and called it white washing but when it happens to an Asian or white character or black washing people say nothing it’s hypocrisy at its finest and when someone started to call it out he deactivated his twitter like everyone who is in the wrong usually does
@thezenyattamain4244Legitimate question: can you conceive why someone would view 'blackwashing' and 'whitewashing' differently? And don't answer with "because they're racist," what do you think their reasoning is
@thezenyattamain4244 mhm, as an artist myself, im *really* not big on raceswapping in general
Ohhh so that’s what Tanjiro VA look like
He should be fired. Read his tweets
