Line 1:
{{trope}}
Common in [[Anime]] and [[Western Animation]], and related to [[Hey, It's That Guy!
{{examples}}
* Any dub released by [[Bandai Entertainment]] (pre-2012, before they quit home distribution entirely)
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
* ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''
* Particularly bad in ''[[Star Blazers]],'' where the American voice actors got ''no'' credit.
* Many series released by [[Geneon]] and its predecessor Pioneer (before Geneon
* Many Japanese-developed video games list only the Japanese voice credits, ''period.''
* ''[[Street Fighter II]]:V''
* ''[[Fruits Basket]]''. Which is frustrating when you're trying to figure out who Kimberly Grant voiced, but isn't really a big deal when you recognize the voice actors. [Lesse, Laura Bailey is Tohru, Eric Vale is Yuki, Jerry Jewell is Kyo, John Burgmier is Shigure.....]
* Fairly common in ''[[Transformers]]'' shows when they would only list a list of the voice actors of the series (averted in the original 1986 movie, the live action films, ''[[Transformers Animated|Animated]]'' and ''[[Transformers Prime|Prime]]''.) The RTM-1 dubs of some of the [[Transformers]] anime (released as Transformers Takara) took this further by not crediting the English voices at all.
* Any English dub that was made by Animax did not credit the voice talent they used at all.
* Pretty much every entry in the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' franchise, games and cartoons both, only list the VAs and don't pair them with characters. It got worse in the 2010-onward games [[The Other Darrin|with the new voice cast]]; some VAs use aliases and Laura Bailey isn't credited period.
Line 27 ⟶ 28:
* ''[[Recess]]'' lists who played who for the main cast, and then everyone else's voice actor is listed as "Additional voices", not saying who voices who, which carried into most of the dubs of the series (and it often varies on if Miss Grotke's going to be part of the "main" or "supporting" cast, she's "supporting" in most foreign dubs).
* The DS remake of ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]'' played this straight (unlike the other entries in the series). Thankfully, Jonathan Klein (the voice director) was nice enough to confirm pretty much all of the voice actors and their characters. He also did the same for ''[[Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria]]'' and ''[[Star Ocean: The Last Hope]]''.
* ''[[Resident Evil: Revelations]]'' credits the Japanese voice cast, but doesn't credit the English one. Many of the major characters are easy to pick out though ([[Michelle Ruff
* The dub cast isn't even listed in the credits of ''[[Osamu Tezukas Metropolis]]''.
* All animated Disney films up to ''[[The Sword in the Stone]]''.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' never really lists who plays who. The only exception was in "Old Money".
* With the exception of ''[[Tales of Symphonia|Symphonia]]'', the majority of games in the [[Tales (series)]] are non-union and thus don't list the English voice actors.
* The ''[[Soul Series]]'' has done both types. No credits whatsoever for III and IV (though oddly, the ''[[Star Wars]]'' guest characters in IV did have their actors credited), and a "block of names" for V (barring [[Roger Craig Smith]], who was properly credited for [[Assassin's Creed|Ezio]]).

Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* ''[[Gantz]]''
* ''[[Kiddy Grade]]''
* ''[[
* ''[[Noein]]''
* ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' lists them concurrently, in both the ends credits and the ''dramatis personae'' at the beginning of each episode.
* ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' runs Japanese credits, then the preview, then English credits.
* ''[[Samurai 7]]'' does the English credits before the Japanese ones.
** As does ''[[Air Gear]]''.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
** Ditto with now [[Sentai Filmworks]]. Their dubs still credit the English dub cast first then the Japanese cast.
* The ''[[Sonic Rush Series]]'' series are the only Sonic games to match up the voice actors to their characters.
* ''[[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' is the first Disney animated film to have the characters' names
* The [[Max and Dave Fleischer|Fleischer Brothers]] movie ''[[Mr. Bug Goes to Town]]'' may be the earliest example where the voice actors are credited for which characters they voiced.
* ''[[Catherine]]''. Clearly, Atlus realized how big a deal the actors in ''Persona'' were, because they were credited for their performances and were given a good amount of hype before the game came out.
