Kiba is the handsome swordsman, a boring archetype in most anime. Joel McDonald makes him hilarious by playing him as the "straight man" trapped in a circus. When Kiba sighs, "I’m surrounded by perverts," you can hear the actor’s actual exhaustion. It’s a subtle, brilliant performance.
(Note: cast listings can vary by season and platform credits; check the specific season’s cast in the streaming service.)
: Unlike many harem shows where events are random, DxD maintains a consistent internal logic involving factions of Devils, Fallen Angels, and Angels.
While purists will always argue for the Japanese original, the English dub holds a special place in the community for its casting choices, its spirited performances, and its ability to make a story about devils and demons feel incredibly human. It remains a gold standard for how to handle comedy-action anime in the West.
