Makino Yui doesn't really have the cuddly vibes as Sakura, only innocent. She must have improved alot since to cast as Honoka's VA, whose character exceeds moemeter limits.
Basically every word Honoka says seems to subliminally mean "Hug me. Cuddle me. Love me."

It's more like how Honoka looks at people. Her eyes tell you to cuddle her, especially when she looks slightly upset.
I don't feel like cuddling with Xanthippe or Takane, more like I want to be theirs in an 'I give you my all' kind of way. |

I'd agree that Makino doesn't really add to Honoka's cute appearance. She just looks super cute, what she says almost has nothing to do with her cuteness, she's quite serious when she talks most of the time.

I think that the most important thing about VAs is being to channel emotions through speech, thus the voice, speech pattern and sounding needs to synchronise with how the character looks like. Takane, Sakura and Neneko are good examples IMO. Takane has the mature voice that suits a pretty young lady like her *fapfapfap*, Sakura and Neneko have that crazy and energetic voice within them that gives the "OMH, she is insane" upon hearing. Speech pattern plays alot here, Sakura's random word usage and Neneko's shoot-off-before-thinking adds to the idea of the character the watchers are encountering.
So anyone wants to cuddle Aleida? We can have her VA give off cuddly vibes by asking.

Well, it seems we have five new voice actors in the credits this time around.
Benkei - Uchida Naoya Uno - Miyashita Eiji Doi - Sakai Keikou Torisu - Naka Hiroshi Madoka - Takahashi Mikako Who Benkei is is fairly self-evident in the episode, due to him being called that, but I don't really know who the other four are. |

Well, it seems you're right about Madoka (just went back and listened to that scene, and one of the characters does call the model-girl "Madoka"). Uno, Doi, and Torisu, though, are all voiced by guys. In fact, now that I think about it again, I'm suspecting that they're the three old ICP guys.

well the official site doesn't list the 3 old geezers(character details), so that's very likely... but those old geezers talked before since episode 2(i think), so why list them now when they should have been listed since then?

Interestingly, they're spelled with kanji and are apparently viable Japanese family names:
宇野 == Uno 土井 == Doi 鳥巣 == Torisu My first thoughts were also of the "un, deux, trois" variety, though, and there's no reason Sunrise couldn't have chosen those names for those who would get the reference, if it is indeed such a reference. |

Well, we do have Mika Doi, after all... She was in all three series that got bastardised into Robotech. And apparently there's a Makoto Uno who was Animation Director in Turn A Gundam, though his name is written differently.

Yes, there's a high chance, if not obvious that those guys Kanji names have a double meaning, its common in Japanese to add flair to the words or puns.
If anyone has read One Piece, its everywhere, the writer Oda is just genius in his writing, dialogue in reference to his drawing.

If we put it in Sangoku context, Uno is Zhang Fei, Doi is Guan Yu, Torisu is Liu Bei. Sorry I don't know their Japanese names and I have totally forgotten the names used in Koihime Musou and Ikkitousen.

Un = Tall one Deux = Fat one Trois = Short one with buckteeth. Fit pretty much into the context of the Sangoku characters. Gentoku is the eldest of the sworn brothers, and the tallest. Chouhi is the shortest (along with his temper) and that makes Kanu the fat one. I researched on the VAs and turn up nothing about their histories in VA. Anyone has something to provide? OT : I am starting to think that Minori Chihara or Yuka Inokochi would have been a better VA for Honoka.
