Well, we got the first episode of Bleach in which Ulquiorra appears in the english dub. I was particularly interested in hearing the voice, since we actually already had an english voice for him in the Wii game Bleach: Shattered Blade. **Note: Bleach Shattered Blade has Ulquirora and Grimmjow as playable characters, while the dub was about 80 or so episodes behind where the two of them actually show up, thus necessitating a filler voice for both of them** What I found particularly interesting is that the voices in both the game and english dub were quite different. As far as the English voice goes for the show, he's voiced by Tony Oliver (If you've heard him you know he's not exactly the most adept actor, but has a decent voice considering the character he's trying to play here). But what I found interesting, is that when I was looking up the game Ulquiorra voice, there really isn't any creditation for whomever did the voice (I even checked the game book I have with the disc, and even in the book there is no credit given for Ulquiorra's voice). Now, as far as I've been told and read, I've heard rumors that Steve Blum (Spike Spiegal, Vincent Valentine, etc.) did the voice for the game and didn't want to get credited while I've also heard that it was Alessandro Juliani (L in Death Note), as he was available for voice work since he was dubbing Death Note at the time (which is interesting as the voice of Ulquiorra is essentially just a lower resonance of L's voice, even in the Japanese version).

**Just in case you were wondering, I do believe it was Juliani instead of Blum, although I wouldn't be surprised if it was Blum**
I also just find it amusing how they had at least a decently well recieved voice in the game and decided to change it so drastically when comparing the dub to the game voices (BTW, Yammy's voice is horrible).
I love when little voice quirks like this happens. Anyone else wanna share anything else that's interesting?

That's what happens when you screw with original voices.  Even games should have subs instead of dubs.

I can't wait for Bleach: Versus Crusade to get over here. It has all the Espada up to Ulquiorra in it, and there is no way in hell they have the voices set for them yet (also it has Nel Tu in it, as well as some other movie and filler characters. This should be FUN XD ) **I still want to hear Stark's voice, you know it's either going to be fantastic or horrible**

Goku sounds obnoxious though...
