I'm surprised nobody made a thread for this yet, but it's good to have both of them back.

They didn't get Kyle back for Shigeo for Mob Psycho 100 Season 3's dub, so him returning for 9S wasn't a given.
I guess this is especially notable seeing as Crunchyroll fired Kyle McCarley from Mob Psycho 100 just because he wanted them to talk to a union rep about it dub. I wonder if they've budged at all on that front.
Kyle shouts or aniplex in his confirmation tweet. Aniplex often does Union dubs and it ven for shows on CR. So that's how it happened.

More casting announcements for the anime's English dub
Are any of the game VAs not returning? I recognize a lot of those names, but I might be missing one or two.

All the English VAs from the game are back going off of the characters whose actors have been announced.
Yeah, that makes sense. I'm pretty sure Demon Slayer (another Aniplex dub) is also unionized considering that they got fucking Steve Blum.

You should check out more dubs. Dragon Ball (Z Kai & Super), Black Lagoon (not sure if this was before or after FMA:B), Space Dandy, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, Baki (the newer seasons on Netflix), My Hero Academia, Hellsing Ultimate, & Trigun: Stampede (OG was before FMA:B, so yeah) all have GOATed dubs.

I enjoyed the the first few episodes I've watch, I'm pretty sure most of that is down to hearing the soundtrack again though...
The first episode gave people a bad first impression in between mostly being a 1:1 retelling of the first hour of the game combined with some poor CG work.
The later episodes have seen notable changes from the game with a lot of interesting new lore and fan service.
For sure. Of the newer stuff post-FMA:B you listed, I liked CSM's dub best.

Can't argue with that, everyone in the cast brought it for Chainsaw Man (Ryan Colt Levy, Denji's VA, especially). Though I guess it makes sense given how much Fujimoto pulled from Western cinema when writing the original manga.
Also, even JoJo's dubs got really good at Part 3 & legit great from Parts 4 onwards. And I can't believe I forgot to mention Konosuba, SK8 the Infinity, & Kaguya: Love is War's amazing dubs. Hell, there's also Bleach: The Thousand Year Blood War with a god-tier dub.

Already watching it weekly with the sub and I don't see myself rewatching for the dub except for key scenes.
A shame since I loved the cast in the game, I wish it was simuldubbed

ahh so CR is still shite I see lol, well at least I get the dub of my favourite games anime adaptation
I don't think it mattered
Crunchyroll never had a say in if he could return or not. The ultimate decision is on SE. Even if Aniplex didn't do it, I doubt those actually in charge wanted a voice change when everyone else was returning
Well having finished the game a few weeks back I'm totally in
Also yeah lots of modern dubs are great. Heck a currently airing one, Tomo-Chan is awesome. Also made Demon Girl next door more enjoyable for me. You miss so many background details on more comedic shows on subs.

I'd say most dubs these days are good to great. I can't remember the last time I watched a dub and thought it was done poorly. That era has been over for a while imo.
So, I enjoyed what I watched of it(first 3 episodes), but the fact that it got put on a haitus mid season for a while definitely took some of the wind out of it's sails(it's back now though)
I'll probably just wait for the dub now personally.
I'm really enjoying it. There is a lot of new content, all pretty close to the spirit of the original plus a bunch of references for Nier/Drakengard lore nerds like myself. The animation is good enought but the 3D is a bit weird.
This is great news. I'll start over with the dub now. I really like Kira as 2B and Kyle's 9S performance is incredible.
The show is really good if you have already played the games. Feels more like a companion piece than a straight adaptation. I like the dub from the game better than the Japanese voices though.
I can't believe they got Oscar nominated actor Ray Chase for the dub!
I am kind of shocked they got Kyle to come back after the whole Mob Pyscho 100 fiasco. Glad he is though.
Edit: Oh I forgot this is an Aniplex production, so maybe they work better with unions unlike Crunchyroll.

I refuse to believe it is pronounced as anything but Ohtoemata as in Automaton.
Excellent! Thank you Aniplex.
But yeah, bad dubs are rare these days. I applaud the producers and writers and actors for managing to put out quality work.
Some slip through. Like Shokugeki no Soma had a mediocre dub. Weird casting choices and direction.

Sentai Filmworks has always consistently put out mediocre to bad dubs and they're pretty much the only ones still doing it.
Yeah, without going into too many spoilers the anime is quite literally a version 1.1 of Route A. There's been a number of minor changes and some big ones (like having an entire episode dedicated to the Pearl Harbor Descent Record), but structurally so far it's Route A.
