Kazé officially announced today Orelsan will dub the character of Saitama in the French version of One Punch Man!
While the complete box set of the first season of One Punch Man is dated for October 12, 2016, we learn that the French voice of its main character, Saitama, has been assigned to Orelsan. Rapper, actor and director, he describes his joy:
I'm going to fulfill a childhood dream by doubling the hero of an extraordinary anime. Saitama is a fantastic character! I find myself in him, even if I have a little less strength… but I'm training! " 🙂
If the artist has always highlighted his passion for Japanese pop culture in some of his songs, some fans of Japanese animation cry scandal.The reactions are quite diverse between those who encourage the singer and those who think that he will not make a good actor. It should be noted that more and more celebrities have had the opportunity to dub French versions of foreign productions. Recently, a big controversy had taken place about the dubbing of the youtubeur Squeezie in the film Ratchet & Clank which is a film adaptation of the video game license of the same name.
The DVD/BR box sets of One Punch Man will contain all 12 episodes of the series, but also 6 bonus OAVs. They will be available in VOSTFR and VF, but you can still watch the episodes for free on DNA ! The manga is published by Kurokawa with 3 volumes published in France.
If the nomination of Orelsan may come as a surprise, we also invite you to be part of the legend, by participating in the special dubbing contest organized by Kazé
