Edited the post with those pics now. Thanks. 

I never understood the extensive use of Canadian voice actors in American made animated productions. It still irks people to this day.
Not to upset Pony fans, but who even knew of the voice actors before Friendship is Magic? Tara Strong is the only well known one.
That and half the cast of Beast Wars. Which did make names of the actors involved. Especially to Transformers fans.
Gary Chalk, David Kay and Scott McNeil are pretty cool guys. And like Strong, have been doing American voice acting for quite some time.
Funimation, seem to like bringing McNeil for some of their anime dubs, most likely because they're fans of his work.

But this was also one of the reasons the sequel series to Xiaolin Showdown was hated, and everyone pretty much pretended it doesn't exist.
It was outsourced to Canada, and almost everyone was replaced. The producers really digged themselves into a deeper hole over that.
There was also some things they couldn't use because Warner Bros owned the rights to them. Another bad sign.

Annoyingly enough how this was very common in the 90s with shows like Conan the Adventurer, and Capcom's pile of garbage adaptations.
Which I mean the Ruby Spears Mega Man, and Graz Entertainment's series based on Street Fighter and Darkstalkers.
The latter was only 13 episodes long and downright awful for obvious reasons 

Yes, every male character seems to be gay for Rikuo, via a terrible running gag.
Other problems due to being, god know why, a kids' show. Felicia wears a white bikini. (She's confirmed to be naked by Capcom)
Dimitri and Morrigan are working for Pyron who is a generic saturday morning villain here. Plus Dimitri and Morrigan became uglier.
And the major issue is the fact Felicia has a sidekick named Harry who is a wizard in training. The Scrappy Doo of the show.
Looks like Sonic wasn't the only video game character with an annoying spotlight stealing kid in their own show.
It's also funny how Scott McNeil gives Lord Raptor a very dodgy Australian accent when McNeil's from Australia Himself!

If you want anything better. Check out the four part OVA, comics by Udon, and the compilation on XBLA & PSN (360 & PS3, that is)
Seriously, this franchise needs more love. Screw Street Fighter!
