Review S25 EP53: Distant Blue Sky

PokeMasterLA said:
This episode marks the very last time we hear Rodger Parsons as the narrator. Thank you all your years of service Mr. Parsons! Your voice will be missed!!

Because although Ash won’t be around, we know Sarah Natochenny will still be active in Horizons in some capacity, and she’ll likely voice him again should/when he makes a future appearance.

Oh right! This just makes this even sadder now. Rodger... not you also. Thank goodness, Sarah will still be around, but again, Rodger....

Why is Bulbapedia pretending Carter Cathcart kept voicing all his characters up to the end when it's very clearly not him in these episodes? I'm kinda sad that he couldn't wrap things up neatly by retiring after the season finale, like they seemingly had originally announced.

The credits show his name in there, so it's possible he's still doing something, as minor as it may be. It may also be out of courtesy, or maybe as a way for casual viewers to notice less of a change. This retirement wasn't exactly planned either, and no official source made any sort of announcement about his condition - it all came from his CaringBridge page.

Pretty sad he couldn't make it to the end: it would've been nice to have a single major character keep their OG English dub VA throughout the entire English run by the end, and Gary's was the lone one to stay consistently unchanged until late JN, but it is what it is (in all seriousness, best of luck to Mr. Cathcart on his recovery from cancer, sad story).

I loved and enjoyed this episode. Makes me sad to think that all these years we could’ve been enjoying this ost music, artstyle and storytelling.

You said it. If Journeys had had an artstyle like this/better ost (they should have brought back Miyazaki one last time for Ash's final series, c'mon, would that've been too much to ask?) and writing maybe I wouldn't have hated it so much.

I know I’m kinda late but I just noticed that all of Chopper’s VAs appeared in this show at some point
Other than Ikue, Kazure Ikura (who was Ikue’s stand-in at one point) voices Gulzar in season 2.
Lisa Ortiz (his 4Kids voice)
Brian Maillard (who voices Chopper’s heavy point form) voices Drake.
Emily Williams (his Odex voice)
And now Brina Palencia

Yeah. She played a bit role in the sneak peek.

She did indeed. And guess what else? I meant to say this much sooner, and I'll definitely be talking about this more on other threads, but I actually met Liza Ortiz herself at AnimeCon here in Rhode Island back in July and she told me the two girls talking at the bus stop at the beginning of the sneak peek were voiced by Sarah Natochenny and Haven Paschall, Ash and Serena's voice actresses! :lapras:

Nice. Probably means Haven will be voicing Murdock's Rockruff as well so it'll be nice seeing her part of the cast again with Rockruff appearing every now and then.

If that’s the case that would probably mean James Weaver Clark and Mike Pollock would return as Slugma and Shuckle as well

Well shoot. Guess Ash and Serena ended up together after all.
