Made me wonder why they didn't use him in the opening scene if they got a name like him.
I see they're subscribing to the Urusei Yatsura logic of casting a high profile seiyuu for practically every character, even the bit parts. I didn't realize that was Wataru Takagi though .

The opening as well as the first episode itself already included some nods to it, so I think it's safe to hope that will finally happen now.
I don't see the point of the remake (other than for the sake of a remake) if they don't finally adapt the Jinchu arc.
