Some interesting casting tidbits this week. Komachi Michiko – the character’s name translates as “Little Town, Little Street” - is played by Ayado Chie, who most surely be in a very small group of seiyuu to make their debut at age 55 (though she’s quite a famous chanteuse in Japan). There’s another notable seiyuu debut in this ep too – Koyama Chuuya as “Tissue” from Tissue Taros, who won the “Comedy Grand Prix” with Tissue’s reading of “Nyanbo!” If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the mangaka of Uchuu Kyoudai. Next week brings us the unmistakable stylings of Tsuda Kenjiro as Mutta's hard-ass instructor in Houston.
