We say goodbye to another legend today 🕊️
Mike McFarland, the veteran voice actor, ADR director, scriptwriter and producer, has passed away at 56. For generations of anime fans, he was especially known as the original Funimation English voice of Master Roshi in Dragon Ball, alongside major roles in Attack on Titan, One Piece, Tokyo Ghoul and Fullmetal Alchemist.
Some of his most memorable characters included:
• Master Roshi — Dragon Ball

• Buggy the Clown — One Piece
• Koutarou Amon — Tokyo Ghoul
• Jean Havoc — Fullmetal Alchemist / Brotherhood
• Gordon Agrippa — Black Clover
• Mashirao Ojiro — My Hero Academia

• Teppei Sugo — Psycho-Pass
• Yajirobe — Dragon Ball
• Ectoplasm — My Hero Academia
• Ryoji “Ranka” Fujioka — Ouran High School Host Club
• Cain Nightroad — Trinity Blood
His influence also extended far beyond the microphone. McFarland directed English dubs for major productions including Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Dragon Ball, the Rebuild of Evangelion films, Summer Wars and Wolf Children, helping shape how an entire generation experienced anime in English.
Rest in peace, Mike McFarland. From Master Roshi and Buggy to Jean Kirstein, his voice and work behind the scenes became part of countless anime memories. 🕊️
Help me save my daughter's life!
I'm coming to you all because I have nowhere else to go.
I need to raise money for my baby girl.
She is in a desperate situation from financial stress and emotional strain from escaping a very toxic situation.
I know firsthand that major depression and financial stress can be a deadly combination.
Her health insurance stopped. She hasn't been able to see her therapist. She's been out of meds. She had to leave an apartment early and they are asking for money from her immediately, and she doesn't have a place to stay. She hasn't slept on a bed in a month. The AC is out in her car and she's commuting an hour to work in the heat. She needs help.
I am desperate.
I can't lose my baby.
She is hanging on to life by a thread.
Give to the gofundme anonymously or join my livestream right now so I can thank you personally.

More life to my niggas
After fighting a rare cancer for 7 years, my mum died peacefully on Monday night, surrounded by her family. She was an incredible, passionate, fiercely caring woman, and none of the joy I've found in this life would have been possible without her endless encouragement and selflessness, even through her toughest battles. I will be taking a hiatus to be with family until further notice. Please respect our privacy at this time. Thank you.
