...If you are that means you're the most devoted XR fan there is! XDDD
Well, I haven't seen all of BLoSC in english yet. I'm too lazy to rewatch some episodes, like Panic On Bathyos, because I've already seen it in greek and it wasn't an episode I really liked. So that's really the only reason I can't tell them apart... but I'll keep my ears open from now on.

Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting you're Greek. o-o Bad King of Town.
Well, at first they don't sound different, but once you can hear the difference it sounds like a HUGE difference. Y'know? And once you catch on it's like 'HOW COULD I THINK THEY WERE THE SAAME'

LOLZ. Tsokay, it's not like I blare it out for the world... it's just a fact. XDD
Hmm, yes, I know the feeling. Yep, I'll definitely watch out for it now.

Larry does sound a little older I guess... and Neil is a little higher pitched.
But that actually doesn't bother me... Neil does a good job to imo. Downloaded sounded pretty great in English - and I know what I say here because Halm messed that episode up D8 (I'll say it again, he's not the best VA in the world - just my personal fav x3)
Well everyone of the German cast did, especially Hubertus (Booster) @@

I can't hear it too much... And that's saying something for a guy who's such a VA buff he recognizes a ton of them after just a couple words. Larry's one of my fave ones, too. Pointy Haired Boss, Honex boss, XR... The list goes on.

POINTY HAIRED BOSS X333
Yes, yes. And the thing is- Larry sounds much, much more natural. Like, anyone else notice that XR has a slightly different vocabulary than the other characters? He uses his own kinda geek-slang. (Like 'golly'. I don't think the rest of Team Lightyear would be caught dead saying that. Even Booster.)
Well, when Larry Miller is the VA, all the geeky, retarded attempting-to-be-cool slang, all the overemotional fits and bad puns sound perfectly natural. It doesn't sound so acted, it sounds like that's just the personality of the character. You know, like acting is supposed to work. And when Neil Flynn does the voice, it just sounds like, to me... 'this is what they told me to say'. It loses a dimension of personality, for me. It's almost like watching a different character.
And Larry Miller has a neat accent. |P

I had no idea he had two voice actors, but now I'm going to have to follow up on this. I'll be sure to watch for it.

I like Larry Miller way better than Neil Flynn, simply because Larry was the original VA, and when you change a VA like that, from movie to TV series or right in the middle of a series, it just isn't the same. It's almost like the character is different because of who the VA is. I think that if you choose someone to be VA for a certain character you should keep it that way, and the VA shouldn't leave just because they aren't getting paid enough...or whatever their problem is.
Kinda like when Patrick Warburton started to be the VA for Buzz instead of Tim Allen, it just wasn't the same.
*takes deep breath* There, that's all out.

Hypocritically I actually prefer ol' Kronk. Tim Allen bores me.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT I AGREE.

I finally can tell the difference between Larry Miller and Neil Flynn, but it doesn't bother me, even though it would be better if they hadn't switched VAs (and switched back and forth and back and forth -_-) But, whatever, they must have had a reason... I wish we KNEW the reason...
The story lines of some of the Neil Flynn episodes are great, and his voice certainly doesn't keep me from liking them ^^

EhhhhIdunno. I kind of liked Tim Allen. I just thought that his voice was a little more commanding, but the Patrick Warburton is really a great actor, and there's no reason to choose Tim Allen over him. Patrick Warburton's voice just has more levity, to me. Maybe that's because it's supposed to. He usually plays the funny/loveable character (or the big mean one...or the one in the wheelchair. .. Ignore that last thing -_-) but Buzz is different than his "usual" character, it seems, so maybe that's why he seems a little strange. But I still like it. xD
I already knew that Tim Allen isn't Buzz anymore, but NOW WHENEVER I WATCH HOME IMPROVEMENT, I'M GOING TO IMAGINE BUZZ SAYING EVERYTHING HE SAYS! D= But whatever, good thing, I guess. Lol.
But why NOT switch the VAs? Gives everyone a chance, and shows how much you can perceive.
Also, switching the VAs isn't something that Disney can always control. Sometimes people quit. Sometimes they work on other things. It happens, and they don't have that much say it it. I mean, they can treat they well and pay them what they deserve, but maybe they have opportunities elsewhere.

To be fair, we couldn't expect Tim Allen to stay on a cartoon show for two-years voicing one character. Plus, Patrick Warburton does a nice Buzz, different, but nice all the same!
BTW, I too love what Larry Miller does with XR's voice. Golly... *fangirl squeal* I'm definitely using that word more often! That, and wonky!
