Project Overview
KATEKYOUSHI HITMAN REBORN! MANGA DUB
Summary
Tsunayoshi Sawada is a 14 year old middle school student with a reputation of being ‘Loser Tsuna’. His grades are embarrassingly low, his athleticism is nonexistent, and his confidence is so low that he’s intimidated by a chihuahua. His ordinary life is suddenly upended when a baby named Reborn arrives claiming himself to be a hitman and his new home tutor. Tsuna is the chosen 10th boss of the largest mafia family in the world, the Vongola, and it’s Reborn’s job to a respectable and strong mafioso.
Introduction
I've been wanting to do this project for a long time as Katekyoushi Hitman REBORN! is my all time favorite manga. However, while well known in Japan it doesn't seem to have much presence here in the west. Not many seem to know or at least have heard of it before. It had an anime that never got dubbed and while I'd like to dub it, it doesn't hold up due to animation and censorship and also ends before the last two arcs of the manga. For a while I've wanted KHR! to get more love, whether it be through a anime reboot similar to HunterxHunter or a continuation/sequel of the manga. Hopes were high when the author, Amano Akira's, most recent series elDLIVE was promoted with a video that included new animation for KHR! Unfortunately, since then there's been no more news about it. TL:DR I want give my favorite series the love I feel it deserves by producing an English dub of the manga!

Hibari is the head of Namimori Middle School’s Disciplinary Committee and takes that role very seriously. Whenever the peace at Namimori is disturbed he’ll personally deal out punishment with his tonfa. Hibari is cold and couldn’t care less about other people. Many would describe him as a beast, scary, fierce and only interested in his own satisfaction. Though he does have a soft spot for small animals. Hibari is confident in his own abilities and prefers to be alone, getting irritated and ready to beat others who start to crowd around him. He doesn’t take orders or suggestions easily, if at all, from anyone as he despises the feeling of being bound or restrained. He also doesn’t like feeling indebted to someone and will repay his debts as soon as possible.
Vocal Direction: medium to mid-low range; Hibari never raises his voice, he always speaks calmly but with a hint of his mood coming through whether it be threatening, irritated, or amused
(Stern/Threatening; Tsuna and co. walk into the reception room unaware Hibari is there, agitating him)
I’ll ask you to put out your cigarette in the presence of the Disciplinary Committee president. Not that I’d let you leave unscathed if you complied.
(Amused/Intimidating; Hibari is attacking Yamamoto who's managing to dodge until Hibari reads his movements)
Are you injured? You’re very protective of your right arm.
(Cold/Irritated; Tsuna managed to land a hit on Hibari by surprise)
You… Can I kill you?
(Threatening; Hibari's signature phrase)
I'll bite you to death!
Dr. Shamal is both a shameless womanizer and notorious assassin/doctor. His first impression is a creep who flirts with and harasses any and every cute girl he sees. Usually to the appropriate response of a slap or punch and in Bianchi's case, a heaping helping of Poison Cooking to the face. As a doctor Shamal specializes in treating incurable diseases. In fact, he himself is infected with 666 deadly, incurable diseases but has managed to survive under his own expertise. However, despite his pedigree as a doctor he refuses to examine men...for obvious reasons. He's also a dangerous assassin known as "Trident Shamal", using trained mosquito's carrying deadly diseases to infect and kill his targets. Shamal is a unabated letch for sure and not a great person in general, but he does have his respectable qualities. He may be a womanizer, but he'd never let harm come to a woman and as a doctor he holds life as precious and has no tolerance for those who would recklessly endanger theirs or throw it away.
Vocal Direction: Mid-low to low range; Shamal should have a devil-may-care attitude and a slight gruffness to his voice, that kind of voice filled with experience from both his professions and lifestyle of living to the fullest, but also should be able to be goofy and indulgent very similar to Sanji from One Piece swooning over a pretty girl
(Nonchalant; after shamelessly hitting on Bianchi, he's reminded of the reason he showed up)
Hm? Oh yeah, there was something you called me about, wasn't there?(Arguing, irritated; Tsuna is incredulous about Shamal's refusal to treat him because he's a guy)
What do you mean "dumb reason"? There's a pretty huge difference if you ask me.
(Flirting, very exaggerated; taking Bianchi's violent rejection as just being shy Shamal gets right back up and shoots his shot...again)
[Bianchi /Be●on●key/]
No need to be bashful, Bianchi. Just one kiss, c'mon~
(Empathetic into smug mocking; after being adamant about not treating men Shamal agrees to cure Tsuna and Tsuna asks what changed his mind)
Because I felt sorry for you after I read the secret on your back... You've never spoken to a girl until Kyoko, huh? What a sad life you've had.
What We're Looking For
Our team is in need of a new video editor that has experience with comic dub editing or has the skill set required to put one together. I.E. Matching audio to written dialogue, presentation, pacing etc. The video shown is a prime example our work. But I also encourage each editor to bring their own flavor to the project.
