Funimation Entertainment, a North American localizer and publisher of anime have announced its English dub cast for the upcoming localized releases of Shakugan no Shana Second anime series, Shakugan no Shana S OAV series and a Shakugan no Shana movie release.
The main character cast are as follows:
| SHANA | Cherami Leigh |
| YUJI | Josh Grelle |
| KAZUMI | Brina Palencia |
| MARGERY | Colleen Clinkenbeard |
| KONOE | Lindsay Seidel |
| ALASTOR | Kent Williams |
| MARCOSIAS | Justin Cook |
| WILHELMINA | Carli Mosier |
As you may already be aware, Funimation Entertainment were not behind the English dubbing of the first season, which the rights were held by Geneon Entertainment at the time. Therefore, it seems like they have been unable to retain the original English dub cast, and instead reassigned the character roles – which is slightly disappointing as I did quite like the original dub cast. Funimation have no intentions on redubbing the first season.
In addition, Funimation have announced the series secondary English dub cast – which is as follows:
