“Their Abuses Are Far Too Numerous”: VA David Wald Leaving Crunchyroll Following Allegations of Mail Tampering

Key Takeaways

• David Wald is leaving his role as Gajeel in Fairy Tail dub due to Crunchyroll abuses.
• Wald plans to reveal more allegations on his Twitch account in the future.
• Crunchyroll has not yet addressed Wald’s new claims of mistreatment.

As a long-time fan of Fairy Tail and an avid supporter of David Wald’s impressive body of work, I find myself deeply troubled by the recent developments surrounding Crunchyroll’s alleged mistreatment of talent. Having followed David’s career since his debut in 2005, it’s disheartening to see such a talented and passionate voice actor like him face such issues.

David Wald, a voice actor and ADR director, announced on his X (previously Twitter) today that he is stepping down from the role of Gajeel in the English Fairy Tail dub. He also mentioned that he won’t be returning to Crunchyroll’s studio. (Paraphrased for easier reading)

In October, Wald claimed on social media that Crunchyroll (formerly Funimation) had accessed his personal emails from the past 5 years and circulated them among their employees – these emails could have been sent by friends or fans. He discovered this breach when someone sent him a package and showed him a photo of its contents and tracking details. After these allegations surfaced, a Crunchyroll representative told ANN they were looking into the matter.

According to Wald’s recent post on Twitter, there could be additional accusations surfacing. He claims that Crunchyroll’s misconduct is excessive and plans to reveal all details about it soon, on his Twitch channel. The complete message reads as follows:

What’s Crunchyroll’s Response to the Allegations?

As per a past post, certain items were given back to him since they had been left on a “free table.” Additionally, he made it clear that he didn’t hold the staff responsible, believing they likely assumed the items were complimentary goods from the company.

Crunchyroll has yet to respond to the newly released details; here’s what was reported by ANN back in October: [Insert the previous statement obtained by ANN in October]

What Might Be Coming?

Given that Wald might soon share new claims on his Twitch channel (he hasn’t specified a date), it’s likely that Crunchyroll will hold off responding until they have more information, if they respond at all. Although Wald appears to have uncovered more than he anticipated, we’ll still need to assess the gravity of the accusations. Neither Wald nor Crunchyroll have disclosed any ongoing legal proceedings related to these allegations.

Who is David Wald?

As a passionate gamer, I’ve had the privilege of lending my voice to some fantastic anime series over the years. My journey into dubbing began back in 2005, where I started with small roles – as is often the case for newcomers. However, I’ve since been fortunate enough to embody several significant characters, such as Gajeel Redfox (a role I am now passing on), Hannes from Attack on Titan, Bulat in Akame ga Kill!!, and even Master Chief in Halo Legends. It’s been an incredible journey so far!

He openly identifies as gay, promotes fair portrayal of LGBT individuals, and has directed adaptations of yuri, BL/yaoi series like “The Stranger by the Shore,” “Kase-san and Morning Glories,” “Bloom into You,” and “Love Stage.
