Thanks to Youtube, I've just seen the first ten minutes of POTW in Japanese version. Now I'm sure I 'm not being picky about Jack's voice actor: his tone is very different from JB, and he's just so...mediocre. Jack/JB's everything but mediocre! And yay for the voice actor of the 10th Doctor!It's such a big surprise. Seki Toshihiko, who's one of the most shining stars in the profession(which is highly idolized and commercialized in Japan) and has countless fangirls in Japan and in China as well, is famous for his flamboyant and chameleon-like dubbing style. I'd say he makes a great ten. And the first season of the New Who must have good ratings in Japan, because it costs money to hire someone like him. Honestly, the Doctor is even more omnilingual than Jack... (Now I begin to feel awful. Because Seki Toshihiko would have made a great Jack, too. I so don't want JB's wonderful voice to be wasted...I'm not reasonable any more...)
