The new Franky VA. Thoughts?
Now I know a lot of people will and already did disagree with this but I'm gonna say it, I like the new VA and voice better. Post timeskip, I genuinely disliked Franky's design and his character as a whole. The only exception to this is the whole señor pink fight. The reason I disliked it is because Oda made being a robot Franky's whole personality. One little hair gag every blue moon didn't make up for the cool and funny moments that were lost with the timeskip. I genuinely don't remember any funnier moment than the docking or the building stairs mid-air to fight Oars bit. Oda really assasinated Franky's character with the TS and now with the change of the voice, it is easier to see him as a new, more human-like character. His voice not only sounds like a person but I think it also suits his funky body to look like that but have a normal ass voice. Obviously people will have differing opinions but I ask of you to please watch one episode with franky in it pre timeskip and listen to his voice, then watch another episode in like dressrosa or something. The old VA made his life goal to sound like a mechanical beast or something. I get it's suppossed to symbolise a change in strength and dexterity or something but why take his humanity away?
