The Movie Database Support

These actors work EXTREMELY HARD as well as the entire production team to put this work on film. To NOT credit them is just wrong. When an actor does voice work on a role, they should be credited. That is work that should appear on their bio. This is not stuff that should be so easily dismissed. I was hoping that The Movie Database would recognize the hard work of these voice actors and vocal artists. It's a shame it is a "policy" to not credit them for their work.

Sorry not sorry but right now is just not supported. The cast list would be endless with all the dubs. Do not forget that if you want to list english dub actors for anime you cannot forbid to list dub actors for English films either.

For now original cast only.

(If you don’t like it. Head over to the databases that do~)

I'm all for ALL casts being recognized for their work. It's genuine acting that should indeed be credited.

Perhaps consider adding a separate section/page for crediting that work. To simply dismiss it out of hand seems like the opposite of what a movie database should be compiling.

(side note: "sorry not sorry" is a very snide way to answer a concern... but you know that).

I don't know man, Travis is just one guy working on this.

Right now priorities are with Universes, among other things, like proper support for alternative versions (director's cut, extended cut, etc). I don't know if that includes dubs though, You're not the first to mention it.

It's likely that when alternative versions are completed, we will get the necessary means to support multiple casts properly since an alternative version could be a English release vs. a Japanese release. Alternative versions is the next big feature I'm going to work on, it's a higher priority item for me then universes but I am not currently committing to a timeline. There's many things happening outside of the scope of anything visible on the website and/or API so it's not easy for me to predict timelines for anything.

I do appreciate the feedback, explanations and interaction. And I appreciate this resource site.

Thanks again.
