‘Akane-iro’ Cast is Up and Awesome
If yesterday’s announcement of Akane-iro ni Somaru Saka’s eroge-to-anime adaptation excited you, AnimeSuki’er Siegel Clyne’s cast list for the show may blow your mind.
Heroine Yuuhi Katagiri, a spoiled princess-type character, will be voiced by Rie Kugimiya (Fullmetal Alchemist’s Al Elric, plus every tsundere character you’ve ever loved). Meanwhile Aya Hirano is taking on the role of Minato Nagase, the younger sister of the main character who is “cool” but very affectionate to her nii-san.
The other heroines are:
- Marina Inoue (Zetsubou-sensei’s Chiri Kitsu, and Gurren Lagann’s Yoko) as Tsukasa Kiryuu
- Ryou Hirohashi (Bamboo Blade’s Tamaki, KimiKiss’s Sakino) as Nagomi Shiraishi
- Rie Tanaka (Azumanga Daioh’s Yomi, Gundam SEED’s Lacus Clyne) as Shiina Mizuki
- Erino Hazuki (ARIA’s Akari) as Mikoto Tachibana
- Emiri Katou (Lucky Star’s Kagami) as Karen Ayanokouji
- Kaori Fukuhara (Lucky Star’s Tsukasa) as Aya Nijou
And a few more characters:
- Akira Ishida (Gundam SEED’s Athrun Zala, Naruto’s Gaara, Nana’s Shin) as Fuyuhiko Nishino
- Rikiya Koyama (Kamen no Maid Guy’s Kogarashi, Hajime no Ippo’s Mamoru Takamura) as Seijirou Sugishita
- Yuu Kobayashi (Zetsubou-sensei’s Kaere Kimura, School Rumble’s Lala Gonzalez) as Sai Fujimiya
This is also the cast for the Playstation 2 port of the game (NOT the cast from the original PC game). Pretty impressive, hm? We still need a cast member for the protagonist, though.
Holy freaking crap! That cast alone puts this in the “must watch” list.
It lacks Mamiko Noto…
:cry:
Crap with good voice actors is still crap.
Well, damn, so much for hoping for a Myself; Yourself-like show…
These eroge always get star-studded seiyuu but half of them always end up like crap.
I’m thinking this one may be R2-worthy (although adding in Nogawa Sakura or Kawasumi Ayako would be nice). Certainly, I, at least, am looking forward to this show.
