LiSA for Mahouka OP? Hype.
I still don't think KanaHana is fit for Mayumi but whatever, I'll take it. It's KanaHana after all. KanaHana characters almost never win though.

Wenga Kon (China): Huaxin Wen
Did they pick him specifically for this role? Just noticed since he's a new name after all and definitely not Japanese.
The art looks so weird in this show. Definitely gonna watch this.

And Ohsaka Ryota seems be in most main roles next season. Kanojo ga Flag, Gokukoku and Sidonia. KanaHana is a given to be everywhere too with Mahouka, Mekaku, Ryuugajou and Break Blade among others.
Either way, looking forward to next season already.

Yasuharu Takanashi's music for Sailor moon omgosh yes
It's strange, I've always imagined KanaHana voicing Miyuki when I was reading the novels so it's going to be weird hearing her as Mayumi.

I am amused at how this makes it sound like they married each other.


You mean they didn't? Because that was the impression I got from that sentence.
