After so many months of being a "sub-only" releasing anime company that licenses anime titles, these guys have finally done so.
I am so delighted about this. This is such a great news! Even though in my mind, I had a different cast on the set, the cast presented here is awesome.
Cassandra Lee Morris as Taiga Aisaka
Erik Scott Kimerer as Ryuji Takasu
Christine Marie Cabanos as Minori Kushieda
Johnny Yong Bosch as Yusaku Kitamura
Erika Harlacher as Ami Kawashima
First off, we have Cassandra Lee as Taiga, I remember her playing as Ritsu back in K'ON! which made that character good. She nailed that role well. Another was that tsundere elven girl Leafa who happens to be Kirito's adopted younger sister Suguha. That role was also top notch and in fact, she made me like her with that portrayal of hers. With N
Second, Erik Scott Kimerer as Ryuji. I remember this guy playing that badass youkai named Inugami and that fat kid named Haruyuki and he pulled out an amazing hotblooded performance that was a definite win for such a talented newcomer. His most recent work as Alibaba was a top notch too! It fits him a lot with the emotion.
Third, Christine Marie Cabanos as Minori. This is excellent! This reminds me of a previous character that was voiced by both her and Yui Horie, that CPU Candidate Nepgear. I am sure that she will nail this girl well as Cabanos' performance as Nepgear back in Neptunia which they both shared did not disappoint. With her cute voice, I am sure this is in the hits.
Fourth, MMPR Black Ranger 2. JYB as Yusaku is a good choice. He will be channeling his awesome voice work as this guy with the glasses reflected his performance with Yukio Okumura as a mentor figure. This guy is undoubtedly great to be part of such work.
Fifth, Erika Harlacher as Ami. I may have heard her a few times in recent Bang-Zoom Ent. dubbed titles like Accel World, Nura: Rise of the Youkai Clan, and Dangan Ronpa. I quite love her voice considering this may be the time when that voice of hers will be channeled to a main character in an anime.
Ok, I know NISA may have been a bit of a hassle to its fans back then. This is because they only dub majority of their games but not their licensed anime, however, this one may be a way to reconcile with them now with this move on the way. Good job NISA! Keep it up!
