Notes[]
- NYAV Post was used to record Mike Pollock's lines for episodes 6 and 7.
- Anthony Bowling replaces Chuck Huber as Alex Caszerne in season 2 for unknown reasons, Matt Shipman also replaces Aaron Dismuke as Reinhard von Ohengramm in episodes 28 to 36 due to Dismuke having vocal care. Aaron returned to redub over Matt for the home media release of the episodes.
- A.J. Beckles replaces Jordan Jones as Theodor von Rücke in episodes 28 and 29, most likely due to Jordan being inactive.
- Jordan Woollen replaces Francis Henry as Huang Louis in episodes 32 and 33.
- Marc Thompson replaces Randy E. Aguebor as Lionel Morton in episode 36 for unknown reasons.
- Maxey Whitehead voicing young Reinhard, much like in Ping Pong: The Animation, is an in-reference to how Whitehead replaced Aaron Dismuke as Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
