Erza's nothing new but Gray seems to have a new outfit.

Dat Tamako Market PV is so cute. Can't wait to watch it. And the sad truth is, probably won't come out on DVD/BD until winter or early 2015 T _________ T

Those are some great experienced selections.

Kana Hanazawa as Saegusa is an excellent (if not inevitable) selection.

So many good seiyuu for this show. The anime better be good.

Also, I hope Mari Watanabe gets significant screen time. Don't know much about the character but Marina Inoue is voicing her...

Hattori's full name is Hattori Gyobushoujou Hanzo(yes that Hattori Hanzo). The kanji in the Yaraon source has 範蔵 which is Hanzo.

But man, kind of a miscast for KanaHana as Mayumi. As much as I love her, she just doesn't fit Mayumi. I was thinking more of Oohara Sayaka or Yuzuki Ryouka for Mayumi. Ah well, it's already there and she may surprise me when it comes.
The rest of the cast is great though, except for Azusa's who hasn't had a lot of roles.

HanaKana has done quite a variety of roles, so yeah, she might surprise you. Obviously she does the cute girly girls really well, but she has done some interesting roles (e.g. Fuwa Aika, Rana Linchen, Tsunemori Akane). So yeah, I think she has range.

She's done the dominant female voice so well...something about it I find so attractive...

I don't know if this counts, but there is a new Yokozawa no Baai Trailer out. Not sure if that goes in the PV/TV ads...

Didn't mix them up. Someone pm'd me about this CM and I know I typed it in, but I was in class and I guess I didn't remember to hit the edit button. It is 100% there now haha

UPDATE:

Regarding the additional cast for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei I removed 3 of the roles on the list. The 3 being:

Mayumi Saegusa: Kana Hanazawa
Suzune Ichihara: Mai Nakahara
Azusa Nakajou: Saki Okasawara

This is not to say that they are 100% not going to be voicing those roles, but I'm not as confident in the source as I was. The 3 cast that I kept in my original post are announced on the official site for the series which you can find here where the others are not as of right now. In the future that could change and if it does I will update this thread again.

Oh good. There's now a chance that Mayumi can be voiced by a different person. I would even prefer it if Nakahara Mai would be Mayumi as I really don't think KanaHana fits her. As much as I know how large her voice range is, I don't think she can do and had done an onee-san type character which is what Mayumi's voice should be.
I'm satisfied nevertheless for Mari, Juumonji and Hanzo's.
