There are plenty of anime reviews for Violet Evergarden that praise the Japanese dub, so I don’t really need to do that although I’ve heard some of it. If you enjoy the original Japanese voice cast I’m sure you’ll love the anime in Japanese.

I’ll talk about the English dub because not a lot of anime reviewers are talking about it. This was a fantastic English dub. Now Netflix has usually been good when they pick studios to dub their anime but there have been some misses when it comes to dubbing recently, but Violet Evergarden hit it out of the park.

Erika Harlacher is once again blowing my mind with her voice work as Violet Evergarden. I know that a lot of Netflix anime watchers are starting to notice her being cast in a lot of Netflix exclusive anime, but she’s a very talented voice actress and considering how difficult anime dubbing is, I’m not surprised she’s getting cast in these big roles for Netflix exclusives.

She did a fantastic job, and not just in her vocal range either. She did an astounding job showing Violet’s different emotions, especially since she has to start off being very unemotional and stoic.

Ben Pronsky is really adorable as Benedict Bleu. He doesn’t show up often, but he is important because he is one of the first people who meet Violet at her job.

Kyle McCarley is great as Claudia Hodgins. I liked his voice acting in this role. He wasn’t doing another stoic character that was like some of his other roles. I liked his voce work and how he portrayed the character.

He also had good chemistry with the other voice actors who do not perform at the same time as each role is recorded separately for English dubbing.

Christine Marie Cabanos is excellent as Erica Brown. She was really sweet and adorable. She did an excellent job in this role despite not really appearing in the anime a lot.

Reba Buhr is great as Cattleya Baudelaire. She’s got a no-nonsense attitude that I really enjoyed. She also has a caring and compassionate side that Reba Buhr portrayed very well.

Cherami Leigh is always a pleasure to hear in anime I watch. I’ve watched her since her early days in Funimation’s dub of Ghost Hunt (2007) and I’ve always enjoyed her voice acting. I remember when she used to be in so many Funimation dubs, but now she’s in L.A. so I end up hearing her in other anime. Still, I love her work and she’s always good in whatever she’s in. I’m also enjoying her a lot in Steins;Gate 0 (2018).

Keith Silverstein is excellent as Dietfried Bougainvillea. He gave a first-rate performance in this role, showing how cold his character is towards Violet. There’s a lot going on emotionally with his character and Keith Silverstein did a great job portraying that aspect of his character.

Tony Azzolino gave a stellar performance as Gilbert Bougainvillea. He did an excellent job conveying his character’s emotions and how he cared about Violet. His performance was one that helped show why Violet was so attracted to him.

There are also wonderful side characters voiced by anime English dub veterans like Wendee Lee as Clara Magnolia in episode 10 and her daughter Anne voiced by Cassandra Lee, whose voice I did not recognize at all despite the fact that I’ve been hearing her in a lot of anime I’ve watched recently and her work in Persona 5 for the PlayStation 4. There’s also Johnny Yong Bosch as Aiden Field in my favorite episode, episode 11.

All the voice actors in the English dub did a fantastic job with this anime, and this one had big shoes to fill considering how big this anime was when it aired in Japanese.

Overall, no matter which choice you pick, English or Japanese, you’ll enjoy the voice acting in the dubs.
