The only three major active staff members that are common to 00 and GSD are two producers and Kunio... They really ARE serious about making 00 different... On the other hand: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...list=8190-4176 There's lot more staff in common with the FMA movie, visually and audio-wise, which is a GOOD thing. Not sure about Kenji Kawai though... Have seen some of his shows, but NONE of his music really left an impression on me.

I juuust watched Le Chevalier D'Eon (Michiru Oshima) last week and I can't recall the music at all. I don't know if that is a good thing. Kenji Kawai is doing music for Higurashi no Naku Koroni Kai which imo is kinda crappy. Though I'm sure the music will be fine. I couldn't stand the FMA movie, but mostly for the story not how it looked or the music.

I was hoping for Taku Iwasaki but Kenji Kawai is definitely a great composer to craft the score for Gundam 00. I've really enjoyed his work on Seirei No Moribito as well as some past works (GITS) so I'm looking forward too see what he can cook up.
If you don't think Kenji will do a good job please watch ep 3 of Seirei No Moribito, the music played during some of the best fight scenes this year/decade was epic. I just remembered L'Arc-en-Ciel did the opening for Seirei no Moribito as well. |

Tanaka Rie Has a Knack for Playing Really Popular Characters
Quote:
Tanaka Rie will have regular roles in at least four anime series beginning this Fall 2007 - three continuing (Maria in Hayate no Gotoku! [Hayate the Combat Butler], Bianchi in Katekyo Hitman REBORN!, Ikeuchi Riyoko in MOONLIGHT MILE); and one new (Futami Eriko "Eririn" in KimiKiss pure rouge) - plus anything else yet to be announced. She did the main guest role, Shino, in the first two episodes of Noitamina's Mononoke earlier this month. According to Tanaka Rie herself, she is playing more and more characters with low voices - unlike her characters with high voices, such as Chii in Chobits, Lacus Clyne and Meer Campbell in Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED DESTINY, Kingyo Ran in Otogi Story Tenshi no Shippo (Angel Tales). Simca in AIR GEAR, and Kujou Hikari / Shiny Luminous in Futari wa Pretty Cure MAx Heart. Most of Tanaka Rie's characters in anime, games, drama CDs, etc., the past year or so have low, deep, mature, womanly voices: Maria, Bianchi, Ikeuchi Riyoko, Shino, Matsukata Hiroko "Hiro" in Hataraki-Man, Lula in RED GARDEN, Fila Marik in The Third ~Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo~ (The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye), Suigintou in Rozen Maiden, Tomoe Marguerite and Fiar Grosse in My-Otome, Leandra Cheviat / Sister Lain in Nishi no Yoki Majo -Astraea Testament- (The Good Witch of the West), and so on. Of all the Tanaka Rie characters in anime I have heard so far, I would say that, though they still may only be teenage girls, Leandra Cheviat and Bianchi have the deepest voices - yes, even deeper than that of Lula and Fila, who are adult women. Tanaka Rie has a knack for playing really popular characters, perhaps making them more popular than they have a right to be: Lacus Clyne, Chii, Suigintou, Kujou Hikari (Shiny Luminous), Matsukata Hiroko, Futami Eriko, and Kirijou (Kirijo) Mitsuru in Persona 3 (game). Tanaka Rie's Lacus Clyne has dominated annual character popularity poll rankings of Newtype, Animage, and Animedia magazines in Japan like no other female character has done in history. Given that these days she plays mostly mature woman roles with voices that match who are not really moe material - e.g., Lula in RED GARDEN has to be one of the most anti-moe characters ever - it is amazing that Tanaka Rie characters rank No. 3 overall in total votes cast for in the first preliminaries of the Anime Saimoe Tournament 2007. The popular love simulation game KimiKiss features top seiyuu (voice actors): Koshimizu Ami, Ikezawa Haruna, Mizuhashi Kaori, Hirohashi Ryou, Noto Mamiko, Nogawa Sakura, Kawasumi Ayako, Nakahara Mai, Fukuyama Jun ... and Tanaka Rie. Guess which seiyuu voices the No. 1 most popular character by far in KimiKiss game character popularity polls across the board last year - whether it be the 2ch poll, the KimiKiss Fan Page poll, the TECH GIAN poll, or the official website poll. Before the release of the KimiKiss game, many had anticipated that Mizusawa Mao aka Mao-nee, voiced by Ikezawa Haruna, would be voted the most popular. (Mao finished No. 2 in the polls, except in the 2ch poll, finishing No. 4 in that one.) Vocal Noto Mamiko supporters believed that her Shijou Mitsuki would be voted the most popular. (Mitsuki finished No. 4 or No. 5, depending on the poll.) Tanaka Rie's Futami Eriko was a dark horse. Drama CD (Rie Tanaka, et al.) / Drama CD Kimi Kiss Vol.3 Eriko Futami Quote:
After its release in Japan on May 25, 2006, however, Futami Eriko's popularity skyrocketed, winning KimiKiss fan poll after KimiKiss fan poll. Japanese fans credit Tanaka Rie's voice and voice acting for making Futami Eriko so incredibly popular and the runaway No. 1 favorite character. KimiKiss is being made into an anime series called KimiKiss pure rouge, which debuts on television in Japan this fall (October 2007). So far, Tanaka, Koshimizu, Ikezawa, Mizuhashi, Hirohashi, Noto, Nogawa, and Nakahara have been confirmed as reprising their game roles in the anime. Search my posts on AnimeSuki for more information, facts and figures, documentation, and links.

Rie Tanaka is kinda boring now since a lot of her characters are starting to sound the same, but I guess it's okay. The way she voiced Tomoe was great! I'd never expect her to voice a psycho lesbian teen.

Japanese fans at 2ch, notorious for their negativism, including bashing any voice actor you can name, have overwhelmingly praised Tanaka Rie's voice acting as Tomoe Marguerite in My-Otome (Mai-Otome). Not only that, something which rarely happens, director Obara Masakazu and head writer Yoshino Hiroyuki single out Tanaka Rie for her "extraordinary acting performance" as Tomoe in the My-Otome Anime Perfect Guide. Going by what Obara, Yoshino and Rozen Maiden director Matsuo Kou have said, they tailor made the anime versions of Tomoe Marguerite and Suigintou in Rozen Maiden, respectively, to suit Tanaka Rie's immense talents.

From Gunota:
New Gundam 00 characters Info from Newtype via 2ch: Celestial Being Sumeragi Sumomo (Ri? wacky kanji middle name) Noriega - Tactical forecaster of the Celestial Being mothership Ptolemaeus. Not a captain but essentially the top ranking officer on the ship so she takes command. She basically plans all the tactics the Gundam Meisters take part in. 26-years-old. Long, black hair. Christina Sierra - Ptolemaeus' tactical operator. Highly-skilled as a programmer so she has a career from being discovered by Celestial Being. Has a good-natured personality and has the deep trust of her comrades. 22-years-old. Brown-haired. Felt Grace - 14-year-old tactical operator, same as Christina. For some reason or another, she seems to not be good at communicating with others. Has a wealth of mechanic-related knowledge and so joined Celestial Being anticipating that. Pink-haired. Lichtendahl Caeli - 21-year-old with a cheerful personality and Ptolemaeus helmsman. Including him, the mothership's leadership is made up of no more than 5 people. Lasse Aion - Ptolemaeus' gunner. The mothership's combat ability can be said to be governed by him. A 25-year-old who often acts cynically. Agent Wang Liu Mi - A beautiful 17-year-old celebrity. Today, the Carribean Sea, tomorrow, Japan...she works hard at her social life in financial circles traveling around the world. In reality, she's a secret agent who supports the Gundam Meisters from the shadows. Pig-tailed girl in the trailer. Hong Rong - Wang Liu Mi's butler. Accompanies her faithfully and refers to her as "ojousama". He is also an Agent. Union Graham Acre - A pilot belonging to the MS team. 27-years-old but is ace level and flies a Flag. He's fixated with the Gundam Excia. The blonde guy in the trailer. Saji Crossroad - 17. A resident of Japan's special economic zone and a senior high school student studying space engineering. A gentle person who often shows off Louise. Louise Halevy - 17-year-old student overseas. Studies space engineering like Saji. Is his girlfriend. Her personality is very selfish. Kinue Crossroad - Saji's older sister. Pursues Celestial Being during the course of working in the media. 22-years-old. Human Progressive League Sergei Smirnov - MS team commander. 43-years-old. Uniformed man with the parted-hair in the trailer. A certain Middle Eastern country Marina Ismail - Azadistan's first princess. Flies to other nations seeking aid to support her country's economy. 24. Black haired woman in the trailer. AEU Patrick Corlasawar - AEU forces ace pilot. A hot-blooded guy. Rumored info posted days earlier but with names and descriptions matching the Newtype info so on the face of things, these seem reliable: Felt Grace - In addition to the above info, female Gundam development genius. Haro - Lockon's partner. Orange. |

Seems like there's one ace pilot for each enemy fraction, and a whole lotta supporting characters... We'll see where this is headed...

Thank you both for the scans and the info.
OMG! More people who are older than 17 years old! And women older than 20 years old! It's already a good point for Gundam 00 imo. And those who were afraid there wouldn't be some fanservice (for males) can rest assured now Quote:
