As a long-time fan of anime and its captivating world, I find myself deeply troubled by the recent allegations made against Crunchyroll by voice actor David Wald. Having followed his career since his memorable portrayal of Gajeel Redfox in the beloved series “Fairy Tail,” it’s disheartening to learn about such a breach of trust between fans and the streaming platform.


Lately, voice actor David Wald has accused Crunchyroll of interfering with his mail, stating on social media that he found out some fan letters addressed to him had been opened and examined before they even reached him. Furthermore, Wald alleged that not only did Crunchyroll open his personal correspondence, but the company also distributed items from these letters among their employees while discarding other fan mail sent to him. In response, Crunchyroll has issued a fresh statement, assuring anime enthusiasts that they are diligently investigating this matter to uncover the truth.

As a devoted fan, let me share with you a message directly from Wald: “My dear friends, if you’ve ever sent me something via Funimation or Crunchyroll over the past five years, I want to extend my sincerest apologies. Unfortunately, I never received your gifts as I learned yesterday that Crunchyroll had been opening my private mail, discarding your letters, and distributing any included items among their staff.

In response to Wald’s statements, Crunchyroll swiftly issued an official statement clarifying that they are diligently investigating the matter concerning the allegation of unfulfilled fan mail to a voice actor. They emphasized the unique bond anime fans share with dub voice talent, highlighting the significance of emotional expression in fostering a deeper appreciation for anime content. Crunchyroll explained that all fan mail should be sent directly to the talent and their management, as they value the privacy of their voice actors and do not intentionally handle mail or packages not addressed to Crunchyroll.

After further investigation, Wald claimed that some items were returned to him. Interestingly, these items appeared on a “freebies table” belonging to the company, which raises questions about what exactly occurred regarding the fan mail.

Wald’s Anime Career

David Wald is known for voicing Gajeel Redfox, a significant character across both the original Fairy Tail series and its ongoing sequel, Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest. Beyond Fairy Tail, Wald has taken on key roles in Vinland Saga (as Askeladd), My Hero Academia (Real Steel), Ranking of Kings (Zokku), Baki (Spec). His impressive work in the anime world promises even more notable roles ahead for him.

The initial anime adaptation of Fairy Tail amassed an impressive collection of over three hundred episodes due to its widespread shonen popularity. However, when the manga concluded its extended narrative, many fans were left disappointed. Fortunately, creator Hiro Mashima still had more to tell about Natsu’s tale, and production studio J.C. Staff has been developing the sequel anime this year. As the sequel progresses, voice actor David Wald is poised to play a significant part in the unfolding events of the “100 Years Quest.
