Over the weekend, the dub casts for both Code Geass and Lucky Star were announced. Johnny Yong Bosch now has another high-profile protagonist role as Lelouch and Wendee Lee will be following up her Haruhi performance by taking on Konata. There are also two overlapping actresses: Kate Higgins will voice CC in Geass and Kuroi-sensei in LS while Karen Strassman will be Kallen and Miyuki. Both titles are being distributed by Bandai with Code Geass v. 1 debuting on Adult Swim next spring while Lucky Star is TBA with 6 volumes planned and special editions in the works. I can’t help thinking how poorly Konata’s opinion of dubs would likely be, if she cared at all about them in the first place. Fuller casting details after the jump.

As you can see above, many actors from the Haruhi dub cast was kept for Lucky Star. Like a number of the anime I have seen through on fansubs, I would like to see how the final mix of English voices will sound especially in the first episode with that long conversation about food. Yui wasn’t announced yet because she wouldn’t appear until the 5th episode, which would be the first one on volume 2.
