Well, they got Hirano to do a couple of throwaway lines for the episode, so I don't think VA availability was a component in making this a spinoff. The Children will continute to be relevant, it seems.
That said, the writing is pretty good. I expected a lot of thing, but so far, it turns out to be very interesting and a well-written thing that is an absolute treat for the series' fans (except for Manglobe character designs, these can be polarizing).
