I'm still curious to see who will play Kira's role in the upcoming adaptation. The key visual has a colorful and cool style to it~

Which makes sense considering how laid back and casual the entry is.

Hatano was perfect for Josuke...a bummer, really. Actually, at least they didn't replace Okuyasu's voice from ASB, but the rest? uh, and I really like some of the new VA's but I thought ASB did a perfect job picking them. Koyama was the perfect Kira and I can't wait for them to replace him -_-

At least we have Takahiro Sakurai (I would prefer Kamiya though) and Okuyasu has the same voice that ASB.

Hope that at least Rikiya Koyama will still be Kira's voice.

I am glad they got rid of Hiroshi Kamiya for Rohan, but Romi's Koichi was pretty good and I would have preferred it if Kaji limited himself to Johnny Joestar like he does in the games. As long as Okuyasu's voice stays the same, I guess I am fairly content.... maybe.

As for the visual... we need to see it animated to make a proper judgement. Staff largely remains the same, so I think we can expect the usual high David Pro quality.

I know most fans expect Queen or Pink Floyd, but I am pretty sure Araki will be unpredictable again. Having said that, I'd like to listen to some Deep Purple - especially a certain song.

And here i guess Romi Park and Kamiya Hiroshi will suit both Koichi and Rohan the best.. but on the bright side, both Jousuke and Okuyasu V.A are suit them really well.. IIRC isn't Okuyasu's V.A is the same with ASB?

OHHHH SHIT. The art has shifted once again, so fucking eager to see this!! Great choice on keeping Yugo Kanno as the composer, he did an excellent job on the soundtrack for Stardust Crusaders.

Yuuki Kaji as Koichi is fucked up though, guess he couldn't wait to voice Johnny in Part 7?

Excellent, they re-casted him at least. He's perfect for Okuyasu.

FACK!
I just knew I couldn't expect Kamiyan, thankfully I like Sakurai enough. Kamiyan though...
Yuuki Ono... ever since Knb I can't stop hearing Kagami and that makes me hate everything just a little bit.
Also changing Romi Park to Kaji Yuuki makes my butt hurt endlessly. :<


Still, Spring 2016 is much closer than 2017 which is what I envisioned, so that's great news.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Glad for Yuuki Ono and Wataru Takagi, confused about Yuuki Kaji as Koichi and kinda don't care about change for Rohan. Both Kamiya and Sakurai are good, but I hear them both so much that I simply don't care discussing this choice. Sakurai can handle it. That is all.

The voice actors are the least of my worries, considering how great they were the last 2 parts.

I have high expectation(not as if David Pro. actually ever disappointed me in the first place).

It would be perfect if Kaji would just limit himself to putting a bullet through his utterly talentless brain.

But at least it's April 2016 already, hopefully that means they've been working on it for longer than they let on and not that it's shorter than it should be.

What did they do with the cast???!! i wanted Hatano for Josuke :(

Yuuki Ono is not that bad but he's also not that impressive also lol Kaji Yuki's shitty ass again, he's just everywhere.

I just don't know anymore but i'm so butthurt right now anyway let's hope for the best.

Did they just change almost ENTIRE cast? Why? Eyes of heaven has ASB cast and it's coming 3 months before Part 4...
Also, Yuki Kaji is already a seiyu for Johnny, mc of part 7.
They could have used Hiroshi kamiya, but they changed him...

Please, tell me it's a joke!

They changed every single seiyuu from All Star Battle. I'm okay with that, but if I see anyone other than Miyuki Sawashiro as Jolyne's seiyuu in Part 6, I'm definitely giving it a 1/10.

Thisss and Kira too. Rikiya Koyama better be Kira.

I really hope they don't change any more of the cast, and end this trend from now.

They changed Kakyoin, Polnareff and Hol Horses' VAs last time (All of which had A-class seiyuu)

I'm quite disappointed. I feared that they could change the VAs but I didn't expect they to not even respect Josuke. Ok guys let's be honest: Yuki Ono sucks and always sounds like retarded Kagami, Hatano's far better. Sakurai is nice but there's nobody but Kamiya who suits Rohan so good. And Yuki Kaji just would do a better job if he just quits breathing. This show stinks and it hasn't even started. Even the key visual is ugly as fuck. Koyama being Kira is the only thing left that can save this show.
You David Production go hang yourselves.

I'll also do that if Ryo Hirohashi (Alice) didn't reprises her role as Reimi.

But seriously, why they're changing the VA..? (justified for the previous three, I'm enjoying Takehito's Dio & TomoSugita's/Unshou's Joseph)

I was hoping for everyone's All Star Battle seiyuu. Really disappointed as they were great in that game. If they change Kira's seiyuu, I'm out.
