Akira Tsubaki - Miyu Irino (Syaoran in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles)

Kouhei Ueno - Yuuki Kaji (Subaru Hasegawa in Ryo-ku-bu)

Ayuko Oka - Ryou Hirohashi (Aoi Yamada in Working!)

Youko Tsubaki - Misato Fukuen (Konjiki no Yami in To-Love-Ru)

Mikoto Urabe - Ayako Yoshitani - New to voice acting

LOL What? Kouhei is played by.... That's actually interesting. And Ryou is playing something with an opposite character huh?

The "drool tasting scene" still freaks me out...ugghh

kenjiharima · 2012-02-29, 19:51

Cool would love to see this get animated.
Got bored with the manga...probably the anime would make me read it again.

Must admit I am having a hard time wrapping my head around Miyu Irino as Tsubaki. Hmm. He was okay as Jinta in Ano Hana I guess....

I just imagine him as a younger Yuji Ueda.

Hmm... The new VA has a rather curious voice. She could be more convincing if she played Shota and Rei Ayanami Clones.

Can't wait to see this.

Hmm the art looks quite old school to me, just has this old feeling to it, or maybe it's just me. Doesn't look bad at all.

And why does it sound like Urabe's voice actor isn't... I don't know, doesn't sound like actual voice acting as much as it does just a person talking. It just sounds weird, especially if you compare it to Miyu's voice.

You're not alone,especialy those eyes look oldschool to me,the coloring as well.

The PV looks quite innocent compared to what you expect when reading the synopsis

I get the feeling that the series is generally more innocent than you'd expect from the synopsis. Though that douijin I stumbled onto certainly wasn't...

leokiko · 2012-03-16, 12:09

Not giving any spoilers, no one needs to worry about gross things in this anime, the taste the drool part is the only weird one. Their relationship is very pure.

Dop · 2012-03-16, 14:07

Trailer looks good, and the first thing i noticed was the 'old school' styling, which works for me!

Because... she's still a newcomer to the mainstream seiyuu industry? But oh well. Let's just wait and see if she can deliver Urabe Mikoto convincingly.

serenade_beta · 2012-03-16, 15:40

I haven't heard such stiff voice acting since Shikabane (Bou)Hime... (at least in immediate memory)

zeniselv · 2012-03-16, 16:01

the voice acting its not bad, its just more "real" voice and way to speak, instead of the anime-ish way, this is more common in dramas or anime movies, i agree its a little inexpressive, but thats pretty much how urabe is.

and the animation, im quite surprised they keep the manga designs in the now moe-filled anime nowadays, and im kinda happy, these design give me a nostalgic feel.

judasmartel · 2012-03-16, 16:32

I reckon we could use a break from all those moeblob animes nowadays, eh?

Flower · 2012-03-16, 17:12

BTW - regarding Urabe's VA ... it does sound kind of stiff and "stilted", I guess, but imo it is certainly a reasonable interpretation of how Urabe's voice could sound in the manga.

Yeah I don't mean as in the voice acting is bad, it's just that it sounds "realistic" and not "anime-ishi". I know she's a new voice actress, but it just sounds so different and jarring compared to Miyu's voice acting work.

And yeah the designs aren't overdetailed, and they give me a oldschool 4:3 fullscreen dvd anime from before the 2004s feel.

totoum · 2012-03-16, 20:29

Well Ayanko Yoshitani just sounded like a live action actress to me and indeed she's been in live action for a while

Wonder if casting a live action actress and asking her to not act in an anime-ish way along with those charadesigns are an attempt to turn Urabe into the "anti moeblob".

I mean they're pretty much doing the exact opposite of what conventions say you should do if you want your female lead to appeal to otakus.

judasmartel · 2012-03-17, 00:16

I see. No wonder she sounds Live Action-ish in the PV. But hey, Live Action and Voice Acting are different somewhat. Probably she needs to literally act the scenes out herself in the studio to "become the character she is playing".

BTW Live Action Gantz covers look awesome.

zeniselv · 2012-03-17, 15:03

from the chara designs you can tell this is not going for the moe approach, and the manga has little modern romance/love comedy gimmicks in it, pretty much theyre not forcing modern conventions wich is something widely done in recent anime, lot of times aiming for a wider audience, but ruining it for the core fans.

ellifeedn · 2012-03-17, 17:01

So it's a good thing?
