The Running Man (Raphael Ferrer Dub)

About

Neo Tokyo was an Anthology Film created by Madhouse in 1987. It consisted of three short films. Including Construction Cancellation Order, the animated film debut of Katsuhiro Otomo.

One of the shorts featured was "The Running Man". It slowly started the anime boom of the United States. The artstyle was strangly realistic in an age of stylized character designs and landscapes. The amount of detail on this short was staggering.

When Streamline Pictures originally dubbed it, the reporter was played by Michael McConnohie. An actor most known for dubbing anime and doing voices for Power Rangers.

But when the short went to MTV, the role went to an actor named Raphael Ferrer. Who I never heard of, but was great in his role. Better than the original English version.

Funny, that's my opinion with Shinji Ikari's Netflix voice, except with that, I just like both equally...even if the Netflix dub is trash.

Anyway, here's the crew.
