Is that the same case for Virgilia and Kumasawa? No.

Spoiler for EP 4:

Gaap = Shannon theorized alike, they probably WON'T be voiced by the same person.

As far as the shota.

Spoiler for More EP 4:

Sakutaro's voice is suppose to be Maria talking through her stuff animal and imagining him. Therefore it should make sense for Horie to voice Sakutaro as well, just as Miki Ito voices Evatrice because Eva-Beatrice and Eva are regarded as similar entities.

Spoiler for Even more EP4 spoilers!:

But there's an obvious age difference with Ronove and Genji. Same with Kumasawa and Virgilia. Gaap and Shannon(Or Gaap and Jessica as I've thought) are about the same age. At least, physically they're supposed to.

Age difference or not, they're different characters who need entirely different seiyuu. Besides... the relation with the characters isn't even confirmed... there's more evidence showing connections between Genji and Ronove and Kumasawa and Virgilia than there are with this character and the others... as far as I know, the idea that they're even connected in any way is just a theory.

Yes, but they are not the same entity as Eva and Eva-Beatrice were.

Spoiler for Spoilers, kinda:

The shota was regarded as furniture and a separate being created by the Witch of Creation...not a separate personality or entity of her like Evatrice was to Eva. Though I understand what you're saying and it makes sense, because Rosa always thought Maria was talking for him xD

If you're anti-fantasy, then she is always talking for him

I don't think "Anti-Fantasy" really applies to stuff not directly about the events on Rokkenjima.

There.

Spoiler for EP 4:

Ange said at one point that it looked cute how Maria was making Sakutaro's voice and moving his arms around. All other people also see Sakutaro as a stuffed animal with Maria making his voice.

Spoiler for episode 4 again:

While reading this whole Gaap seiyuu discussion, the thought of George = Ronove (glasses, uhm... handsome?), Jessica = Gaap (Uhm.. curls?) came to my mind lol (well, at least maybe I'll find a base to prove they've killed each other XD)

Spoiler for EP4 again:

Well, *I* think Gaap represents Jessica, but we probably shouldn't be talking about that in this thread.

[Jan-Poo]

Anyway considering that about that character there has never been any clear reference to a vessel (unlike Ronove and Virgilia), giving her the same voice of her vessel would be a very bad move, because that would completely cut out any chance of speculation. Once you see the VA is the same, you can't really imagine the vessel is another one.

It is as if they gave the same VA to Shannon and Kanon, then the shkannon theory wouldn't even be a "theory" anymore.

I'm strongly reminded of Calvin and Hobbes...

[AkiShinonome]

Anime EP4's CV

Spoiler for EP4:

-天草 十三(Juza Amakusa)→遊佐 浩二(Kouji Yusa)
-さくたろう(Sakutarou)→芽原 実里(Minori Chihara) Nagato's voice
-須磨寺 霞(Kasumi Sumadera)→田中 敦子(Atsuko Tanaka) Kyrie's voice
-小此木(Okonogi)→小杉 十郎太(Juurouta Kosugi) Krauss's voice
-シエスタ00(Siesta00)→廣田詩夢(Shion Hirota)

I'm interested in whether Sakutarou's voice matches.
Okonogi's voice and Kasumi's voice was as expected.(･∀･)ﾉｼ

[Kakkou]

I just realised 4/5 of the new seiyuu announced were in Amatsuki, though 2 of them were only minor roles. Not surprising seeing how that's another DEEN series. Kouji Yusa is a good choice for Juza, I imagine he'd use his Shinonome voice for him.

Since I forgot how Kon's pitch and voice is like, I'm gonna skip on commenting that part I'm just hoping that he would do a bit lower pitch than his Seizh (UTM) and Mizushima (Sutasuka) pitch, but still I would accept any kind of voice he do for Amakusa, especially if he somehow turns Amakusa's line into エロい -bitchslapped- Though I swore I did not really expect him to voice Amakusa as much he is on my consideration list since he has been like MIA doing new roles in anime world for sometime. Thank God he is not MIA in Drama CDs which enhances his voice 150% >v<

The only thing that I am a bit worried is how he will voice "Hyaha" laugh lol I mean his voice is not that hyper from my experience lmao Though easily remedied like Beato's cackles /'v'/ Still on tl;dr, I am so happy about Yusa voicing one of fangirls eye-candies in Umineko. Though I can't erase the image of ERO-Amakusa in my head now.

/Prepares for a strike on the heart anytime he did "lady" to Ange. asdfghjkl; Umineko castings related staffs, you are the greatest! TT_TT (so yeah a secret fan of Amakusa since well, he is more stylish than Battler and Ryu-chan's stealing some kind of creativity from Tetsuya Nomura's clothing design style rofl so him voiced by the man who can gave fangasm to fangirls in every lines he spoke helps. A LOT.)

[HigurashinoUmineko]

When I was on wikipedia I was kinda sad that no one was voiced Minori chihara (I was just speculating) but when i scrolled down to see her as Sakutarou I was like OMG

I hope that she can do Sakutarou great!

[Golden Witch Drugs]

WHAT?! Minori Chihara as Sakutaro? No D: I wanted Romi Park...

[Kitsu]

I wanted Romi

I wanted her as Kanon ~~ or someone male~

[Marion]

I couldn't imagine Romi doing Sakutaro After hearing her as Nana O. it would be impossible for to imagine her voicing a lion shota

I haven't really watched alot of Romi acts, but I did hear her in CLANNAD as a Cat shota, so a lion shota isn't too far away ;D

[Ithekro]

While I don't know about the lion part of things, Minorin can do shota from her time on Today in Class 5-2. Which is basically a cheerful Chiaki voice from Minami-ke.
