Laharl's a bratty kid. If it works for Bart Simpson, it works for Laharl.

It's literally done in almost every dub just make a normal Disgaea thread you doubledooder

this is done in the west too

>in japan
That's common in every country. Women usually voice boys
>>
Cuz getting a grown ass man to put on a kid voice is retarded
>>
>>748231109
he was transformed into a 100% female version of himself, no transition like in real life happened.
so, yes, femlaharl had a functional womb and was also very fertile
>>
>>748231249
why not get young boys to voice these characters then?
>>
>>748231254
With memories from the time when he was a male and had a functional penis huh
>>
>>748231364
>why not do child labor?
>>
>>748230448
Men have a hard time doing kid voices.
You have the option of getting an actual child VA, but then you have to work with a kid, and will have to deal with said kid not being able to do the voice anymore in a few years due to the reason above.
Meanwhile a female VA could do the same kid voice for decades without issue.
>>
>>748231364
Because I think those young boys should still be in school and have free time to play around with friends, also they're you so their voice acting would suck ass
>>
>>748230448
Its not a Japan thing its common in most animation.
They use women because they can imitate boy voices especially pre pubescent boys better than men.
They just end up keeping the same voice actors for when thy grow up because people get used to them in japan.
Naruto was like 12 at the start of the series.

Bart is also voiced by a woman.
As is Bobby from king of the hill.
>>
>>748231364
Are you retarded? You're aware boys grow up and their voices change, right? And finding another kid with an similar voice would be a pain in the ass and you would have to keep doing it for every installment.
>>
>>748231724

There is precedent for this.

Apparently a woman will voice Aslan in the next Narnia movie.
>>
>>748230448
Isn't his dub voice a woman too?
>>
>>748230448
So you don't have to chop off the boy's balls to preserve his treble voice genius.

better than the alternative
>>
>>748230448
A man's voice gets deeper, a woman's less so, so a woman can be suitable to voice a high-pitched boy.
>>
>>748230783
its all the same degenerate subversive shit. if you are okay with one there is no reason you'd have a problem with the other besides semantics.
>>
>>748230448
Not just Japan, it’s common everywhere. It’s easier to just hire adult women to voice young boy characters because they don’t have to worry about replacing the actor because their voice changes halfway through production. It’s why a character like Bart Simpson’s had the same voice for 40 years.
>>
>>748230448
Men voices are usually lower and thus harder to minic boys voices. The only adult man that is voiced by woman that I know is Goku
>>
>>748230783
Many such cases.
>>748231109
>>748232659
Case in point.

do you really think NIS was trying to push a narrative back then? you can't possibly be this retarded

the faggots on this board get more retarded with every passing year
but that's the internet as a whole
>>
>>748232759
no, but i know that it, along with so much anime, is always used as an outlet and to signal subversive sexuality. its not a coincidence that anime porn or hentai is known for its incredibly diverse, specific and downright abhorrent genres, as well as tranny anime.

If you do that you end up with 40 year old Haley Joel Osment playing 17 year old Sora Kingdom Hearts.

didn't this kill FF14?
>>
>>748232659
I do not have an issue with magical fictional demons using stupid bullshit logic like "demon congress voted to turn the demo president into a woman so he'd be less annoying and they could lust after him without being gay"
I do have an issue with real life man putting on a dress so he can go into a women's locker room and rape and then get me fired when I say thats morally wrong.
>>
>>748230448
This is not only common in Japan, you weeb.
>>
>>748230448
if your character is supposed to sound like a young boy, you're hiring women unless you wanna risk the voice actor change his voice after reaching puberty.
even the west does that.
>>
>>748233404
The character you are referring to sucks in every language regardless of voice acting talent, or lack thereof.
>>
>>748233267
I don't think people's voices change that much after they finish puberty assuming they don't smoke or regularly shout themselves hoarse.
>>
>>748233586
Fine in Japanese.
>>
>>748231364
Child labor laws and they're on a very short timer until their voice changes too much. Gumball went through so many voice actors that it became a running joke.
>>
>>748233741
Wuk is not a good character despite the talent of the japanese voice actress. Wuk sucks in all languages because of the people who wrote her.
>>
>>748233710
Look at sora in kingdom hearts 1 and sora in the kingdom hearts 4 trailer.
Even if you think he still sounds fine he is the rare example of a character that went from 14 to 17 in universe, rather than eternally remaining a child.
>>
>>748234001
>time advancing between sequels is rare
Huh? I thought that was the norm.
>>
>>748233932
This is cope. You guys always claim the Japanese and English are the same whenever the English is universally agreed to suck.
>>
>>748234184
I play the game in japanese. Wuk sucks ass even though I don't have to listen to the troon voicing her. The entirety of dawntrail is poorly written, and wuk is the number one casualty of that because shes the character with the most lines and screen time.
Her entire continent is "dora the explorer's politics for babies", her ability to lead is non-existent and the trials she faces are contrived nonsense like "dad's taco recipe stopped an ongoing war". Theres no defending the character or the expansion msq man, its the only point in the entire game that has gotten me to quit repeatedly.
The japanese voice actress deserved better.

100% this anon doesn't play the games, know who Laharal is, and has 5 "masculine" podcasts open selling him peptides.

Comic inspired piece of media has jokes. This is degeneracy, we need to go back to our roots and study ancient Athens and the Bible!!! Any upvotes???

>same countries with enormous pedophile rings in the entertainment industry
500 child actors with PTSD later, I think maybe they should indeed be voice acted by women instead.

The taco man. The translators didn't know Cruchy tacos were an developed in the US. This mistake doesn't exist in Japanese. Somehow the Japs understood a western dish better than the westerner translation team.

The Japanese also properly pronounce Cait Sith as "ket shee" unlike the English dub.
