Orphen: The Revenge, the second season of the hit series Orphen. If you liked the first season (still available on VHS and DVD from ADV Films), you'll love following the further adventures of young sorcerer Orphen and his friends.
Discount Anime DVD
This is where I purchased my DVD set. It's considerably cheap at $38 US, I recommend using DiscountAnimeDVD. If you find a cheaper site to purchase Revenge I'd love to hear about it so I can post it!
Tiffany Grant
Veteran actress for ADV, Tiffany Grant has announced in her latest letter to fans that she been cast in the role of Esperanza Reika: "...and I just took the role of Esperanza in Orphen II from Kelli Cousins who has moved out of town. Oh! I also got to play my first little old lady in an episode of Orphen II. That was weird. O_O"
Upon reading this I e-mailed Ms. Grant, and asked if she had any information on the process of the dub. "I don't know how much I can tell you, but Jim Chung is directing Revenge. He's a new director that started at ADV about six months ago. He seems to be having fun witht he show. Since I stepped into a role that had been started by someone else, I haven't seen any of the show, I don't have too much information about it."
We wish you the best of luck Tiffany!
Christopher Patton
Actor for such anime as RahXephon, Excel Saga, Bubblegum Crisis 2040, Gasaraki, ect...has confirmed that he has taken the role of the ever so evil and twisted, Flamesoul. A member of the Orphen forum posted a link that first alerted the site of this. The following is an exert of what Chris Patton had said in the Dub Review Forum:
"I'm working alot on Orphen II and Super Gals right now, and I'm having a good time. Yesterday I had this sort of Gonzo recording session for Orphen. I got all method, cause the character I play is very um...effeminate and ODD and evil. So I turned all the lights down in the booth, which was about 40 degrees, put on a hoody and some sunglasses, and just sorta quasi-channeled this weird dude that I'm voicing. It was a fun session. I got all method, which is sometimes necessary if you're sick or having trouble finding your place with the script."
Immediately Flamesoul came to mind, so I e-mailed Mr. Patton, who confirmed my suspicions: "Hey there. Yes, I am playing Flame Soul, but as to how much I can say about process and release date, I need to talk to the brass at ADV first, if you don't mind. I really appreciate the e-mail you sent, and as long as we're talking off the record, I had a GREAT time playing Flame Soul, and I also play another character named Walter, who's sort of a lackey type. Once again please keep this quiet till I give the go-ahead."
{Note from Sam (Flora): Yes folks, I did keep this quiet as Mr. Patton requested and have only now printed the information with his permission.}
'Best of luck from the site, Chris!
