I liked Bruce Eliot outside of his most serious lines (mostly sleeping kogoro) but comparing almost any voice actor to Kamiya Akira is just simply unfair. I almost feel sorry for Bruce Elliot as there was no way he, or anyone else at Funi, could have done half as good of a job.

wouldn't they still hav to pay the relatively the same wages to the new replacement?

or are newbies payed alot less?

I'd assume less, because I think the voice actor for kogoro was quite well renown or respected, so thus requiring a higher standard of pay.

But hiring like a scrub or w/e, who really hasn't shown his potential to be the next kogoro, is going to have a lower pay.  Now, if the scrub turns out to be incredibly good / basic mimick of the old kogoro voice actor, we should expect his salary to jump

I still refuse to believe this is happening until it is confirmed.

Does that mean that he's actually retiring? He is already 63 years old...
The only program he's still voice acting is Conan...

Why stop there? Change the whole cast!

If they ever replace Conan's voice actress, the show will be cancelled within 2 weeks. I guarantee it.

Two weeks? As soon as they announce that she's no longer going to voice Conan they'll call another press meeting 15 minutes later to announce the show is canceled.

honestly, he had quite a funny voice, which perfectly fitted the character. Though if they're out of budget, theres nothing else to do . I've witnessed many changes at other anime's(i used to watch german dub), and that almost ruined the anime. It feels like you've lost something but whatever lets focus on conan :p

[kirite]

I'm curious, where did this rumor come from?

If you say 2ch I'll be really skeptical.

I don't think changing Kogoro's voice will ruin the anime per say but they better hire someone that's just as good.  Kogoro has so many lines....

[NotSoFluent]

Sauce, OP?  I won't believe it until there's one available.

And I'll go with Kirite and say that if 2chan was the source, it's bound to be unreliable, hit or miss.  Any given *chan board is bound to have trolls (yes, 2ch can be just as bad with this as 4ch is; shit like this happens with an Anonymous posting system) that make stuff up to rile people up.  Remember some of the shopped panels they make for spoilers of some series?

[Mahjong]

I also hope this isn't true!
Kogorou's voice is something that can't be replaced so easily!
Actually almost nobody could be replaced easily since the series been going on for so long and people now really know the voices!

[tangytangerine]

Hopefully they'll be more careful picking a replacement for him than they did with Mitsuhiko's VA(it was a couple episodes around 430).  It was obvious then that they replaced the VA, since he sounded like a girl with the new VA.  But they either got the original VA back or the new one eventually got it right, since it sounded normal by 441.

[Kamron3]

Mangas do not need voice.

this isn't confirmed yet right?

Nope...
