Just... wow.
I figured they were the VAs from the game, but it doesn't change the fact that it's a superb cast. It's so dmn good.
All they needed was this guy to make it the ultimate cast, at least for me..

He does voice a couple supporting characters in the game, but neither will appear in this anime (the anime will cover episode 1 to 3, the characters voiced by him were introduced in episodes 4 and 5).

EDIT:
I may as well include this, the VAs listed in the game's credits at the end of episode 3 (which is where this anime will stop, not including the special VAs list for the smaller roles):

It's possible that some characters could end up not appearing in the anime at all though.

What the hell is that cast? It's just downright OP, damn.
It even made me forget my utter despise for that first PSO2 anima (just remembering gives me a headache).

I might check this one out, but with an unprecedented amount of skepticism.
