This series definitely looks like an adult version of Hayate. But so far, i'm enjoying every moment of it.

Haa~~?? You are not kidding? Shizuka voicing Miyu is already a stretch. Yuko for Shinra? That's gonna be comedic...

Let me clarify that I know that the chosen seiyu for the anime were originally from the game (with the exception of Ren who has no voice.

Yuko voicing Miyu makes the most sense. It should make sense after seeing Night Wizard in which she plays a character who is exactly like Miyu in terms of age (appearance) and almost personality.

Shizuka Itou is perfect for Shinra becuase Itou sounds like a oujo-sama in lamost all her roles.

UPR · 2008-01-06, 20:53

Personally I would have liked the person that did Hime in Oujo to voice Shinra. Since they both a very much alike.

Thats Kawasumi Ayako. I always found that they sounded somewhat similar. Though Ayako's voice is much lighter.

No, Shizuka Itou seldom voices ojou-sama type characters. Most of her characters are strong, mature and serious girls. The only ojou-sama type character Shizuka has voiced that I can think of is Hasekura Rei in Marimite, but Rei is more like a tomboy-type...

Avisch · 2008-01-06, 22:44

Yeah I figured I typed that out to fast. I meant to say what you said. Even though I've only heard her voice in a few roles.

Sorry, not in my opinion. If anything, that wouldn't fit AT ALL.

Shinra needs to be voiced by someone both dripping confidence AND being playful-teasy at the same time, which is what Goto Yuko is not really known for. Here, Shizuka Itou is the perfect match, because her reference roles (Tama-nee and Hinagiku) come pretty close.

Miyu on the other hand needs to have a controlled "loli" voice, for which Shizuka Itou's pitch simply is way too low. Yes, it needs to have a mature-reasonable timbre, but not THAT low.

Edit: As for Kawasumi Ayako as "Hime" from Kaibutsu Oujo - might be a possibility, but Shinra is very different to Hime, who - at least in those 5-6 episodes I've watched - never diverges from her superior-haughty-smiling attitude, be it in the aftermath of a won fight or in a seemingly hopeless situation where she's about to be killed. Shinra is way more engaged and goes through a much wider range of emotions which she will show. I do believe that Kawasumi Ayako would be able to extend her role here too, but... when it comes to the teasiness which comes naturally to Shizuka Itou, I'm not so sure.

Wandering_Youth · 2008-01-07, 00:54

Hmm, Miss Itou doing the voice for this Shinra character. It doesn't seem right to me at first because I've only seen her do the voice for characters that are kinda like the leader, no BullS, or serious girl. Oh well, it should be interesting to see how well she does this character. Funny, at first I thought the Tomokazu was the one from Haruhi, Kanno2006 and so on but it turns out to be the other Tomokazu who usually plays the roles of loudmouth characters.

Kaoru Chujo · 2008-01-07, 00:57

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood, but ep1 seemed kind of leaden to me. I had no problem with the seiyuu, however. Shizuka-sama did this particular ojou-sama very well, I thought. The role and her performance were both something a bit different. And I just love hearing Gotuuza-sama gradually broadening her range. The other game seiyuu seemed okay to me, too. Seki Tomokazu is always a real pro.

Julius Firefocht · 2008-01-07, 01:58

Was I the only one who caught the G-Gundam reference in the beginning of the show? You know, the whole Master Asia and Domon connection.

kujoe · 2008-01-07, 02:19

Hmmm, now that you mention it...

arkxkra · 2008-01-07, 05:12

erm, just watch the ep1, 1st impression like not very special, normal, but will continue watching, hope it will have more laugh screen.

But, Shinra sama, wow, sexy ^^.

That's right

masama · 2008-01-07, 14:43

This is one of those anime you don't care about the low budget production and can actually have a good laugh.

This feels like Kaibutsu Oujo, except lots of fan services.

How did you get Kaibutsu Oujo out of this show? Putting the eccentric people aside, they're in complete different genres (besides comedy), Hiro's considerably wimpy besides being half-immortal (which means Hiro>Ren because Ren cannot win) while Ren isn't, and... Yeah... something like that. It isn't impossible to think Hime=Shinra, but it's not like Shinra would go around swinging a chainsaw. Would she?...

masama · 2008-01-07, 15:50

well, it's just matter of opinion so others might not agree with it.

Like I said it "feels" like kaibutsu, just the overall impression i get when i watched it. not necessarily comparing it with Kaibutsu Oujo side by side.

Mmm, OK. I see. I just found it a bit amusing.

I'm glad you find it amusing, I hope others do as well so I know didn't waste my time posting it.

Oh no...she carries a boxing panda instead

Shinra being similar to hime is the only connection I can find frankly. Other such vibes are best related to Hayate/HiMM ^^

PGilis · 2008-01-08, 06:42

I just watched the 1st RAW episode.

I thought it was good, so far.

Not very high in production values, thought. But the characters were very likable.

Has some ecchi, but at least is not a panty-fest like Rosario+Vampire.

I will keep watching.

Like "Penis" said: Shinra-samaaaaa.....
