| Dope!! But I always thought Kokushibou would be voiced by Kenjiro Tsuda. |
| Knowing the content they'll adapt in the first episode, this PV just added a bit more hype to it. |
| Opening by MAN WITH A MISSION? Lezz go And we got some veteran seiyuu for the Upper Six |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| MWAM doing the OP is an insta W....Byakuya's VA voicing Kokushibou is just perfection, and I LOVE it |
| Man with a mission + milet, OP song gonna be epic. |
 |
| "Kizuna no Kiseki" by MAN WITH A MISSION x milet |
| Since Kenjiro Tsuda is in practically everything I definitely thought he would have voiced Kokushibo, but Byakuya's VA is a great choice as well. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| Very good picks. That's how I imagined these characters to sound like. It's so cool that Kokushibo is voiced be the dane VA that also voiced Gemini Saga from Saint Seiya. While Kenjiro Tsuda was my dream pick for Kokushibo's voice in the anime adaptation, I'm not gonna lie - back when I was reading the manga I imagined Koku to sound more like Ryotaro Okiayu than Kenjiro Tsuda. |
| can't wait for the the anime to come back |
| can't wait to witness Mitsuri's full naked chest in all of its glory |
    |
| Now this is what i've been waiting for. |
| peak is gonna be back bois. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| This is gonna be good! Top tier voice additions, BTW. |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| I was clicking the link while thinking “don't tell me it's LiSA again” but I'm so excited to know it's MAN WITH A MISSION and Milet! They did one Collab before in the song Reiwa, didn't expect them to Collab again for Kimetsu no Yaiba. |
Egoist_Animehead said: What was he in the news for?People here expected TsudaKen, people elsewhere expected Madara's seiyuu (the main one). I have to remind y'all, though, that TsudaKen was recently 'in the news' with his private life matters, so it might be not that suprising. And imo, if TsudaKen was to be Kokushibou, then Yoriichi's VA should've been also different due to obvious reasons. |
| Continuation of one of the best anime ever made. This one I watch in theaters! |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
