Hopefully Yui Ogura makes it into the voice cast for Girlfriend (Kari), it would be a terrible mistake not to, as Yui brings in character and drama CDs.

:D

I see they listed the cast for Gangsta recently. Now that pisques my interest since there's a possibility the show could air Winter. (I highly doubt this Fall though)

Still waiting for a long PV fo Nanatsu no Taizai and World Trigger.

I'm sorry to spoil it, but her character was just announced through twitter few minutes ago. The announcement this time will probably be in the next Briefs since they are doing more announcement one per day starting today to September 2.

I was expecting Okiayu Ryotaro as Ban but Suzuki Tatsuhisa fits too.

Hyped for Gundam Build Fighters Try. This should be good.
I think you should use this PV link for it. It's from the official Youtube page of Gundam that streams the series and it even has English subs.

I guess Yuuki Yuuna will be a CGDCT show but I guess I should have expected that from the character designs. There's probably more to it than what's shown but I doubt it. We'll see I guess.

And at least we heard some reason from Togashi instead of lolhiatus for 2 years. Back pains are terrible.

I still can't believe it. They're making an anime of Gangsta.
I mean I just read a few volumes and was like "wow this could be a really cool anime a shame it will never happen" and then a week after I logged into MAL and saw the news... Faith in industry restored.
Now I just hope Studio Pierrot doesn't get its hands on the project.

With that seiyuu cast, I will definitely watch Gangsta and Girlfriend (Kari).
