Character Designs #1,

So thatis Leonardo Da Vinci, now I see why they had Sugita voice him since he is an older male.

And here we have Oda sorta looking like a grey haired Takuto with an effeminate posture, certainly very Mamoru character-like.

I can't wait to see the mecha in action alone with how the scenery looks in animation.

I'm almost never hear someone complain about Yuki Kaji voicing Issei from DxD.
Because such roles suit him more, the pervert teenager. He should stick to those and leave the better roles for better people.

I agree.

symbv said:
^ Interesting, a lot of watchers in Japan who do not like Kaji's voice thought he indeed improved and more than bearable when he voiced Eren.

Why is Kaiji popular in Japan? is it because he looks like a male idol? or do some fans genuinely like his voice?

I know that people have different taste and preferences in everything but I honestly hate his voice and can't fathom why he is liked, I love Japanese voices and not just in anime in just about everything else ( games, J-drama, commentators, songs, etc) but he is without a doubt the worst Japanese voice I have ever heard. He makes me drop or avoid some anime just for the sole fact that he is in them. How do you feel about him?

Well personally, I love him for his talent. He has great vocal cords, like I've said before, they're very flexible. His voice acting can also be really passionate, like in the case of SnK. I understand the hate in the sense that some people just don't like his voice. I get it, I didn't like Seiko's voice from Corpse Party either (but I can't deny that it suited her). I just couldn't take it at all. It's not to the extent where I ignore the anime her seiyuu participates in, but I just don't like it, there's not any reason.

I see, thanks for your answer. I'm glad you didn't misunderstand me, yes I actually just hate the voice, not the voice acting nor the actual person. I don't even have an opinion in his voice acting because his voice usually distracts me from everything. The only role of him that I didn't notice his voice or be bothered by it is Guilty Crown and that's probably because Shu character was timid and soft spoken and because I wasn't as aware of his voice as I am now.

To me was Satoru from Shinsekai Yori, but Satoru didn't really do anything outstanding since all he pretty much did was follow Saki around and was also a calm character who didn't panic unlike Mamoru, but I guess he did a good job as Satoru though, but I guess I'm on the same boat as some people who found his role as Eren unbearable

lol. Real men ride each other?

The mecha design looks awesome indeed, but I still don't get if the mechas are actually pilotable or individual AI entities like guardians or whatnot.

Yuki Kaji in that cast is just another retarded thing to do, and Toyotomi? Yeah, that killed all of my hopes for this. The director's name doesn't seem that promising either.

Hurrah, more Yuki Kaji hate. Why is it another retarded thing to do? Yuki Kaji has really flexible vocal cords.

While I was looking to see if Kaji was in the cast because I love his voice, others were looking at his name and had the opposite reaction. Haha agreed with the flexible vocal cords.

zenith_kim94 said:

I thought I was the only one who doesn't seem to like Yuki Kaji.

Where have you been? There's quite a lot of hate for Kaji Yuuki. You should've seen the people complaining when they saw that he was voicing Eren before SnK came out. People also hate him because he voiced Haruyuki and Shu.

Anyways, this looks quite interesting. When I saw Nobunaga in the title I thought it was another news for Nobunagun or something. So many Nobunagas.

Seriously, I don't get the hate for Yuuki Kaji. Just because they're hating on the characters he voiced, doesn't make it legitimate for them to hate on the voice actor, unless he was doing bad with the voice acting of course.

Something feels wrong, I don't know, maybe because of the overly huge head? Disproportionate body parts? Something's really wrong with the size ratio..

Broken link.

ED "AXIS" by STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION


The one of two only things I liked about Kyoukai no Kanata - It's ED. So like VioLink said this is amazing news.

In case anyone was wondering about the only thing I like about Kyoukai no Kanata that is the one and only fabulous sister complex man Hiromi Nase.

Not sure if you're serious or not. What does that have to do with anything? You mean we hate Kaji 'cause he voiced Shu? Not really. FukuJun is a good VA, therefore a good role made him popular, a well-deserved popularity. Kaji Yuki has an annoying voice. It does work in some places, but sometimes he just ruin the hell out of a character. I dunno why females fangirl about him. His face? Yes he's cute and all, but sorry, it's his voice that's more important.

Character designs look extremely Kazuki Yone.

Either way, at least worth a shot since it looks good.

So honestly, I wasn't all that interested in this one because of the name. I guess I thought it was going to be some ridiculous/stupid comedy with some silly Oda Nobunaga character. But, I just watched some animation in a PV and it actually looks pretty interesting and serious and of rather high quality. So...not what I thought it was going to be. Also I've been a fan of Yoko Hikasa so...I'm interested. And the story of the two planets (sort of an east meets west kind of thing?) seems like it could be interesting to, so this might actually be one of my most highly anticipated series of Winter.

Those poorly CGI mechas looks terrible, even their movements are dull IMO - at least judging for the PVs. I still gonna watch this, but I think it's gonna be something like Aquarion Evol for me: colorful and maybe fun to watch, but I'm not gonna get hyped with the mechas, which is sad in a mecha show. D:
