Hello there, dear author! :D

I'm wondering, if you could cast voice actors for all the important characters in your game (ROs, siblings, empress, etc. ), who would you choose? :3

I personally prefer Japanese voices, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on those, but if you like English more, then that's fine too!

Hope you have a wonderful Sunday! :D

Oh this is a really cool question!! I am a connoisseur for both Eng and Jp Vas so I will provide both. Lmao Some of these are highly specific because some of these characters were lowkey blueprints 🙈 Though I'm curious about what other people would think!

Alberich:

His voice is soft, light, almost sweet tenor. It's gentle and very friendly, the kind that kids find soothing and approachable, but can go into a deep earthy tone when he wants to be serious.

Miyano Mamoru (Chrollo/Light Yagami)

Matt Mercer (Yusuke Kitagawa)

Sieghardt:

His voice would be a very smooth, relaxing tenor, dark but very gentle.

Jun Kasama (HiMERU) or Yuichiro Umehara (Alhaitham/ Keito Hasumi)

Greg Chun, specifically when he making cheesecake or as Adam)

Maeve:

Her voice would be the dark, warm and slightly husky voice. Y'know the one that screams Mommy that will wreck you uwu but also playful aunty.

Miyuki Sawashiro

Allegra Clark (Chihiro Morimura/Beidou)

Lugh:

DILF. DILF.DILF. *Swoons*

Junichi Suwabe (Sukuna/Archer)

Cam Clark (Kratos Auron/Prince Crescendo) but Patrick Seitz (Frederic Chopin) works too.

Finny:

Finny has a youthful voice, something bright and almost nasally. I wouldn't take him very seriously and ruin the tone of the story, but I think it would be sooo cute if he had a little lisp. ;//w//;

Masakazu Morita (💕Tidus💕/Kurosaki Ichigo) or Yuki Kaji (Alibaba)

Max Mittleman (Ryuji/ Itto Arataki)

Thea:

She would have a very sweet, bubbly and airy voice. Something that borders on fairy-like and soothing, but isn't grating to the ears.

Rie Takahashi (Emilia/Hu Tao/Takagi)

Laura Bailey (Cheria Barnes/Rise Kujikawa)

Linnet:

Her voice would be something bright, cute and confident. Nothing too high or low, something just right in the middle.

Haruka Tomatsu (Kyoko Hori/ZeroTwo/Asuna)

Kelly Sheridan (Barbie/Sango)

Medea:

Her voice would sit somewhere between pretty, sweet and just edging on sexy. Not too bright or husky, a rich tone that's fitting for a young woman.

Rie Tanaka (Himeko / Lisa)

Michelle Ruff (Velvet (OdinSphere)/Sakuya Tachibana /Sadayo Kawakami)

Helios:

Androgynous, but soothing, dark and slightly husky. Something that makes you question their age, gender and your sexuality.

Romi Park

Veronica Taylor (Tsukasa Okino) or Eric Vale (Yuki Sohma)

Eirik:

SASS. Something not too bratty, but has a rich and sauve twang to it. A rich tone that borders on nasally.

Noriaki Sugiyama (Sasuke Uchiha/Uryuu Ishida/Shimazaki (Mob Psycho100))

Liam O'Brian (Ingway(OpinSphere)/ Akihiko Sanada) or Yuri Lowenthal (Suzaku Kururugi/ Sasuke Uchiha)

soooo i’ve seen you mention you have a passion for animated films, would you care to tell me what your favs are and why you like them so much!?!?!?

ALKJDLFSDFLSDJFD omg where do I begin????

I already put down Watership Down, Ratatouille, Rango, and The Iron Giant on a recent film list, so I will kind of go on to some others I guess :3

Yellow Submarine (directed by George Dunning) - Obviously I like this film. Not only is it very nostalgic, but the visuals are incredible and hold up so well. Required watching even if you are not into The Beatles.

Brother Bear (directed by Aaron Blaise and Robert Walker) - LOOVED this film growing up. I am disappointed by the lack of people talking about it, especially in regards to later traditionally animated Disney films. Everyone talks about the Phil Collins soundtrack in Tarzan but NO ONE mentions his songs here.

Happy Feet (directed by George Miller) - People either love or hate this movie, but um I like it. The title is so stupid for a movie that delves into critical commentary on political and religious hivemind combined with environmentalist concerns. It also knocks me out how George Miller, director of Mad Max, made this movie about penguins singing pop songs. The range.

Shrek 2 (directed by Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury, and Conrad Vernon) - No one was surprised. I watched this obsessively growing up and just kept on once I got old enough to understand the jokes. The "Holding Out For A Hero" song sequence still gives me chills.

The Secret of NIMH (directed by Don Bluth) - If you like 80s fantasy you NEED to watch this film. I just adore Don Bluth animation and stories so much. Perfect balance of heartwarming and harrowing.

The Cat Returns (directed by Hiroyuki Morita) - Yet another film I watched a lot growing up. It is literally a film about talking cats, what is not to love? I know this one is a sequel in some ways to Whisper of The Heart, but I haven't got around to seeing that yet. I hear it is also fantastic though!

Summer Wars (directed by Mamoru Hosoda) - I love films with lots of colorful characters that get just enough room to shine individually. This film really shines in that regard, especially how it all comes together at the end.

Tokyo Godfathers (directed by Satoshi Kon) - AWESOME movie. That is kind of all I can really say. I still have to see a bunch of other Satoshi Kon films, but this one is up there so far. I love how it is loosely inspired by a classic western film and takes it in an entirely different interpretation.

There are DEFINITELY more, but I think that is a lot lol hope that was entertaining and you got some good recommendations :)

Shigeru Amachi in Jigoku (Nobuo Nakagawa, 1960)

Cast: Shigeru Amachi, Utako Mitsuya, Yoichi Numata, Hiroshi Hayashi, Jun Otomo, Akiko Yamashita, Kiyoko Tsuji, Fumiko Miyata, Akira Nakamura, Kimie Tokudaiji, Akiko Ono, Hiroshi Izumida. Screenplay: Nobuo Nakagawa, Ichiro Miyagawa. Cinematography: Mamoru Morita. Production design: Shosuke Sasane, Haruyasu Kurosawa. Film editing: Toshio Goto. Music: Michiaki Watanabe.

I know what hell is: listening to elevator music interrupted by assurances that "your call is important to us" while on infinite hold. Which is not the idea that director Nobuo Nakagawa and co-screenwriter Ichiro Miyagawa present. It's pretty much the traditional one of fire and torture. Jigoku is a cult film, as many of the better (or at least more arty) horror films become, and while I'm not a member of the cult I can appreciate the skill with which Nakagawa presents his vision. It's a movie that ranges from deeply somber to extraordinarily lurid. The protagonist, Shiro (Shigeru Amachi), is a student who, after celebrating his engagement to Yukiko (Utako Mitsuya), gets into a car driven by his sardonic friend Tamura (Yoichi Numata). On a dark road, Tamura runs down and kills a gangster, Kyoichi (Hiroshi Izumida), whose mother (Kiyoko Tsuji) witnesses the accident. Shiro wants to stop, but Tamura keeps driving. Since her son was a gangster, she doesn't report the hit-and-run to the police but, along with Kyoichi's girlfriend, Yoko (Akiko Ono), vows to hunt down Tamura and Shiro and kill them. After pleading with Tamura, Shiro decides to go to the police himself, but on the way the taxi driver -- whom Shiro briefly hallucinates as Tamura -- runs into a tree and Yukiko, who has reluctantly accompanied Shiro, is killed. Shiro's road to hell is certainly paved with good intentions, and after his death he winds up there. He has received a telegram that his mother is critically ill, so he goes to see her at the home for the elderly that his father runs in the country. She's not as ill as he feared -- the telegram was actually sent by Kyoichi's mother and girlfriend to lure him into their trap. He discovers that the old folks' home his father owns is actually run on the cheap, with a doctor who skimps on medicine and food. He also encounters Sachiko, a young woman who looks exactly like his fiancée, Yukiko, down to the pink parasol she carries. She turns out to be the sister Shiro didn't know he had, but by this time revelations are coming hard and fast: Tamura -- who appears more and more demonic -- turns up too, as do the potential assassins, and in an elaborate concoction of circumstances, everybody dies, including Shiro. And everybody goes to hell, which is a fantasia crafted out of depictions from old Buddhist paintings and traditional cinematic imaginings of the underworld. Shiro learns there that the taxi accident killed not only Yukiko but also their unborn child, and he spends much of his time trying to rescue the infant from the torments of the afterlife. The film ends, after much exploration of the more gruesome torments of hell, with Shiro's vision of the twinned Yukiko and Sachiko, both with pink parasols, but although it suggests Faust being redeemed by Gretchen, there's nothing to indicate that this is any kind of redemption for Shiro. In short, Jigoku is complicated, contrived, confusing, sometimes a little cheesy and more than a little morally questionable -- does Shiro really deserve to go through all this? -- but also thoroughly fascinating.

[ichihime]

ANONYMOUS ASKED: I was following along a thread on twitter and an anti said when Ichigo laid dead on the ground with a hole in his chest in the Lust arc, that he didn’t say “I can hear her..stand up..I will protect her” before hollowfying. They claim he instead said “I can hear..stand up..I have to protect” using no pronounce directed at Orihime, hence NOT coming back from the dead because he wants to protect her specifically but because of his instincts to protect and he would’ve done it for any of his friends. They also said that Orihime didn’t scream “help me” but instead said “help” which triggered Ichigo’s instincts to protect, making him rise from the dead, hence once again making it clear this was never about Orihime specifically but about Ichigo’s instincts responding when hearing a voice in need (and this voice could’ve been from anyone amongst his friends) and how the hollow would not allow him to die regardless. Basically the English translations are incorrect and the raw version in kanji never used pronounces during these scenes. Is this correct and how would you respond to this?

There are a couple really important factors to address in this translation and why its English counterpart would supplement with pronouns specifically referring to Orihime; first, that Ichigo’s speech is meant to be broken and fairly incoherent because it’s conveying the idea that he as a human is focused on this sole objective as he’s dying. Second, that in Japanese, there isn’t necessarily a requirement for subject pronouns to form a sentence talking about a subject (the subject in question being Orihime) —this is a particular grammar rule that has no translatable equivalent in the English language, because they’re ultimately different structures entirely. I drop this phrase a LOT on here, but again, cultural context is important. Since you also sent this ask to my friend @ichinoue​​, there’s been some really excellent fan feedback about the structure of Japanese language and how it differs from English —this post in particular.

Now — onto the actual question:

I think there’s definitely a possibility that Ichigo would have done this for his other friends, but only if this moment had also been preceded by Ichigo vowing to “definitely protect” or “protect without fail” those other friends. Kubo did write a scene like this, and made a pretty big deal about it, but that scene involves one specific character —not all of his friends.

This hollow transformation was written as a climax in Ichigo’s narrative arc for the Hueco Mundo saga —as the ongoing theme during this arc was about his struggle with his identity against his inner hollow as an ever-present threat. This could not be a more clear theme throughout this specific arc. There’s a lot of specific focus placed upon this struggle, his cooperation and subsequent training with the Visoreds, his lack of control despite his best efforts, and his juxtaposition of this struggle for control in his actual fights against the Arrancar and Espada. This is important to note, because in response to this, there is only one scene with one character that both:

Involves him promising to “definitely protect” or “protect without fail” a friend he cares deeply for (using the same character for “protect” that’s his namesake, no less —I’ll get into this tidbit more further down).

Functions as a foreshadowing tool, and is later double-downed upon as a foreshadowing tool by the same character as mentioned above.

When it comes down to it, the grammatical inconsistencies that come from translating between languages don’t have any particular bearing on this specific scene, because the intent was already made clear as early as Chapter 196. That’s how foreshadowing works —even if we as the reader don’t realize it’s happening until after the fact. What’s more, this is how Japanese functions as a language; it’s constructed around making sense of the context, which is why it doesn’t necessarily need subject pronouns to function or convey meaning. (Though I can understand why this goes over most Anti-IHs heads... their arguments depend almost entirely on pulling things out of context, which obviously doesn’t work.)

That said —

This scene says a lot. And even though Ichigo is speaking directly to Orihime so we understand she is the subject of what he’s saying, there’s a lot of additional meaning we can derive from this scene by reading (you guessed it) the context. 

Ichigo is characterized early on by somewhat brash, irritable (though this is conditional), impolite, “punk”-like mannerisms. His speech tends to be informal (cultural context) as does his body language. However, we also know that he doesn’t say things lightly when it comes to promises and protecting others. These words carry weight, but there’s an additional sense of conviction conveyed through his respectful and formal gesture of bowing, his unwavering eye contact, and we as the readers can understand this without needing an explanation.

This is especially interesting because if IRs want to get smart about raws, then they should also already understand the additional importance placed on this scene when it comes to Ichigo’s word choice. Ichigo uses the character “護” (mamoru / ”to protect”) to convey his intentions. There are a lot of different ways to write “protect” in Japanese, many of which Ichigo uses when he makes these promises or talks about protecting others throughout the series. What makes his choice of “護” especially significant and piles on more and more contextual importance is that this is the same character for “protect” that is his namesake and the basis for his core character motivations. This is also only time throughout the entire series Ichigo specifically uses “護” to refer to protecting someone. 

If the intention of this to act as a foreshadowing tool wasn’t clear enough, it is again referenced by Orihime later —just at the beginning of the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjow. 

Already, we have a precedent set by Orihime’s direct involvement. This is the second scene in a pattern of foreshadowing the events of the Lust Arc. 

The intent is clear; this is a theme in Ichigo’s narrative arc that involves Orihime, because it also involves the development of their relationship. Her fear of hollows, her fear of Ichigo losing himself to his hollow side, Ichigo’s struggle to expose himself to this power he relies on to win in battle while also trying not to lose himself. There’s an underlying theme of Ichigo and Orihime struggling to communicate with each other, desperately wishing to protect each other and going to whatever ends to do it, but ultimately thinking its a burden they must shoulder alone. They are both concurrently struggling with feelings of uselessness (Ichigo isn’t strong enough, Orihime can’t do anything) throughout this arc, acting as foils even if their individual journeys take different shapes. Even so, these conflicts are juxtaposed by the theme of “The Heart” (the bonds between people) that also keep appearing. They’re both frightened, they’re both feeling weak, feeling desperate, and yet still — they can understand one another.

So we have this pattern now:

Ichigo vows “Next time... I will protect you... without fail!” to Orihime with a sense of personal importance conveyed through the use of his name that is unmatched throughout the rest of the series.

Later, Orihime notes very plainly that “Whenever he uses strong words, it’s like he’s making a promise. I believe that he makes a promise to himself. I think that he expresses his words in feelings so that he will follow through.” The important takeaway being of course the forthright meaning, but also “When Ichigo says he’s going to [do something], he will [do that something] for sure.”

We all know what happens next —the character conflicts, the miscommunications, the belief that these are fights that need to be handled alone, the struggle against the powers of a hollow, the fear of exposure to that power... all culminate into The Lust Arc.

— CONTENT WARNING for canon-typical gore, blood, impalement, and body horror.

With the above established foreshadowing, we can see how it leads to this; When Ichigo says that “he will protect you without fail”, he will protect you for sure.

“To be clear, a total transformation to a hollow, is neither evil or good; it’s more like pure power .. so I made a voice of pure-hearted power that is unrelated, beyond the concept of good and evil so I screamed from a clear pure heart yet, at the same time there is some sadness and thought of Orihime in my head.”

— Masakazu Morita (Ichigo Kurosaki’s Japanese VA), on how he voiced Hollowfied!Ichigo during the Lust Arc.

 “The perfectly hollowfied Ichigo ruminated over Orihime’s screams and was bound only by that objective.”

— Bleach UNMASKED

If what I outlined above wasn’t clear enough, Ichigo goes as far as to stab Ishida, his friend. It couldn’t be about anyone else. This specific theme has always very clearly been about Ichigo, Orihime, their relationship to each other, and their relationship to hollowfication as a concept.  

I want to also be very clear here as well; with the established theme of Ichigo always fighting against his hollowfication, and Ichigo’s Hollow being motivated solely by self interest — it isn’t Ichigo’s Hollow responding to Orihime’s plea, it’s Ichigo’s humanity. Ichigo’s Hollow finally getting an opening to take over his host (to become The King and Ichigo, The Horse) is what revives Ichigo. But his vow to Orihime and his desire to fulfill that promise is what allowed him to cling to his humanity. The Hollow is motivated by survival instinct, not any desire to protect —that’s all Ichigo, just as it’s always been.

I think anyone who is still willfully misinterpreting this and holding Japanese language structure to English rules and conventions is seriously pathetic. Even in English, the pronouns have zero bearing on what’s being conveyed here. They can try and disprove IchiHime as much as they want as far as I’m concerned. The fact remains that at the end of the day, giving the Ichigo/Orihime relationship as much attention and dissection as they do goes to show that (a) they still perceive it as a threat and (b) there’s such a large volume of Ichigo/Orihime content to comb through to begin with —a fact they’ve vehemently denied for years.

Also like, IchiHime is canon. They’re happily married. They have a family together. Just tell them to take the fucking L. I get secondhand embarrassment from watching them rehash the same old bullshit time and again.

[colsennodipoi]

Per rispondere alla chiamata di @alleanimeperse, ho pensato di stillare una particolare lista, per quanto riguarda i miei film preferiti usciti dall’anno della mia nascita ad oggi, inerente prevalentemente ai film d’animazione giapponese.

1995 -  I sospiri del mio cuore (Hayao Miyazaki)

1996 - (prima eccezione) In viaggio con Pippo (Kevin Lima) (storia sempre attuale e di una sensibilità disarmante, oltre ad essere in grado di farmi scompisciare dalle risate)

1997 - Neon Genesis Evangelion: The end of Evangelion (Hideaki Anno) (pur trattandosi di un film che va a completare l’arco narrativo di una serie, beh, lo reputo un capolavoro. Lo metto in lista per celebrare la serie e una narrazione, a mio modesto parere, da manuale)

1998 -  Perfect Blue (Satoshi Kon) 

1999 -   Il gigante di ferro (Brad Bird) (altra piccola eccezione, avendo amato da piccolo questo cartone!)

2000 -  La strada per Eldorado (Don Paul & co.) (altra eccezione che porto nel cuoricino) 

2001 - Dai, ve lo aspettate lo so. La città incantata (Hayao Miyazaki)

2002 -  La ricompensa del gatto (Hiroyuki Morita) (Non uno dei migliori dello studio Ghibli ma che ho trovato molto piacevole e sottovalutato, considerando il target a cui è rivolto) 

2003 -  Tokyo Godfathers  (Satoshi Kon) 

2004 -  Oltre le nuvole: il luogo promessoci (Makoto Shinkai) (Il Castello errante di Howl è stato già citato da Ellie, per questo motivo ho pensato di dare rilevanza all’opera di esordio di Shinkai, altro autore che porto nel cuoricino)

2005 -  Stormy Night (Gisaburō Sugii)

2006 -  Paprika - Sognando un sogno (Satoshi Kon) --> innamorato AAAA

Vanitas No Carte VA prospects

Vanitas

Akeno Watanabe

 (Yes, I would very much like a female voice for Vanitas and I think Akeno would fit since she voices some male characters like Rito Yuuki from To-Love-Ru and LEO from Pandora Hearts!  I think her voice is deep and sounds cool for a male character. She can also portray Vanitas’ playful character.) 

Ayumu Murase 

A male seiyuu this time. Voices Allen Walker from the recent D. Gray Man anime. His voice is not so deep and manly which I think would fit Vanitas’ sly character. 

Yuki Kaida

Got the inspiration from Kurapika of HxH. She is also known for voicing cool male characters. And her multilingual tongue (French and Chinese) would really help in pronouncing French words. 

Koki Uchiyama

One of my favorite VAs! Roxas’ va from Kindom Hearts, also Yoshino from Zetsuen no Tempest and currently Shin from Evil or Live. I just love how he can portray evil and clever characters that looks so innocent. His voice is also very cool and sexy. I would never ever complain if he becomes Vanitas. 

Noe 

Nobunaga Shimazaki

Haru from Free is the perfect match for Noe’s character. His voice can certainly portray the naive-type/ clueless type and  he also has the same poker face type of voice.

Kensho Ono

The poker sound [face] of Kuroko from Kuroko no Basket would certainly fits Noe’s character. Although he doesn’t sound as naive as Noe, I still think he would be a great match for his character.

Jeanne

Maaya Sakamoto

I would very much love Maaya Sakamoto to voice Jeanne! I don’t think anyone will do a great job than her. She can be fierce and cute at the same time. Voices Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji and Kisshot from Monogatari series. 

Yukana

My favorite VA! I chose her because of Tear Grants from Tales of the Abyss. She can also be fierce and cute like Maaya. 

Kana Hanazawa

Kana isn’t really my favorite va because she became overrated in the past years. Nevertheless she has an iconic and cute voice so I wouldn’t be surprised if she got the role. 

Yui Horie

One of my favorites as well. I can never get tired of hearing her voice. And Idk, I think every role given to her is just perfect for her voice so I wouldn’t complain if she became Jeanne. Cute, strong and tsundere perfect! 

Dominique

Shizuka Ito

Tbh, I don’t think anyone can do better than Shizuka Ito. She’s very sassy and cool. She portrayed Rindo Kobayashi from Shokugeki No Soma so smoothly so I think she can do Domi’s seductive voice. 

Yu Kobayashi

Yu comes out strong and can certainly portray girls that attracts girls especially her role as Mariya in Mariaholic. 

Risa Taneda

Not exactly my favorite as well. I didn’t like her voice as Erina. I prefer the current one. But like Kana, I wouldn’t be surprise if she got casted. 

Miyuki Sawashiro

Yes! One of my strong candidates! Miyuki’s voice is very smooth and calming. She fits the mature type so she’ll do well voicing Domi. Voices Celty from Durarara, Milla Maxwell from Tales of Xillia

Yoko Hikasa

When I hear Boar’s voice in Juni Taisen, she certainly did a great job in voicing a mature woman so I think she’s a good candidate as well. I’m just not sure about Domi’s cute attitude. 

Mitsuki Saiga

I love Mitsuki Saiga voicing a male character! But that doesn’t mean she can’t fit a female role. Although her voice is too deep for her, I’m still curious on how she would voice Domi. Also voices Okita Souji from Peacemake Kurogane, Teito Klein from 07 ghost.

Luca

Ryoko Shiraishi

Ryoko can portray kid’s role such as the noble kid MoriMori in Gintama. She can produce a really cute voice as a child. Also voices. 

Reiko Takagi

She voices the gentle Tadase from Shugo Chara and that’s where I got the idea. Since Luca can be naive and impulsive, both charactes fit together. I think she’ll do great voicing Luca

Megumi Han

Gon’s voice from the recent HxH. I love how she portrayed Gon’s naivety which will do great in Luca’s character especially on the part where Luca was very grateful to Noe. 

Houko Kuwashima

Known for voicing females like Yohime from Nurarihyon no Mago and Chizuru from Hakuoki. I loved her kid voice in Takasugi Shinsuke of Gintama that’s why I also picked her for Luca. 

Yumiko Kobayashi

First heard her from Tetsunosuke Ichimura of Peacemaker Kurogane. Her voice usually portrays stubborn and noisy characters but I think she’ll also do great with someone noble like Luca. 

Roland

Mamoru Miyano

Who else could do better than Mamoru?! He can totally voice Roland as the jolly and God-loving chausseur who can switch to a serious person in a split second. 

Olivier 

Kisho Taniyama

With Mamoru Miyano as Roland, this is Chuuya and Dazai all over again! Well, I just like how Kisho can portray nagging characters so he’s very perfect for Olivier’s character.

Daisuke Ono

Iconic voice! He also voiced Jack from Pandora Hearts and Sebastian from Kuroshitsuji. Daisuke Ono also has a switch from a nagging character to a perfectly serious one. 

Kosuke Toriumi

Voices Mikazuki Munechika from Touken Ranbu. He can also do great as a mature persona like Olivier. 

Ruthven

Sho Hayami

Sosuke Aizen of Bleach, yes, I can’t hear anyone but him in Ruthven’s voice. He’s sly and mysterious, very perfect for Ruthven.

Joji Nakata

Aside from sho, Joji Nakata can also be the mysterious evil type. He voiced Kotomine Kirei of Fate Stay Night. 

Domi’s grandfather 

Takehito Koyasu

Another mysterious character! No one else but Takehito Koyasu can do better! He’s perfect for the playful, ruthless and mysterious shapeless one. 

Veronica

Aya Hisakawa 

Aya Natsume from Tenjo Tenge. She has a very mature voice and her  body type also fits Aya’s so I can’t imagine a better candidate than her. 

Yuko Kaida

Tsukuyo of Gintama’s voice. Although a mature type of voice, I think it’s very hard to imagine her as ruthless like Veronica but I do wonder what will it be like if she voiced her. 

Dr. Moreau

Yutaka Aoyama

The Millenium Earl from the recent D. Gray Man series. Yes, they’re both psychotic and old (in some way) so he’s very perfect to voice the mad doctor. 

Cho 

Hearing his voice in The Sheep from Juuni Taisen, he really is made for an old man role. He can also do a good job voicing Dr. Moreau with that very grandpa voice mixed with madness. 

Louis

Miyuki Sawashiro

Ironically, I also picked Miyuki for Domi so wouldn’t it portray their relation more if she was to voice Louis? xD Nevertheless, yes, Miyuki is not new to young male characters and  listening to Kira from Btooom! She can be very well voice Louis with maturity and a lot of painful emotions. 

Mariya Ise

Voiced Killua from the recent HxH. She can really voice young but mature male characters. Her voice can also be serious and calculating like Louis’ personality.

Dante

Takuya Eguchi

The voice of Dragon from Juuni Taisen and Takeo from Ore Monogatari. The cheeky and chubby-kind of voice is perfect for Dante. As Vanitas’ informant, he can be very arrogant sometimes and Takuya Eguchi can do a good job voicing that. 

Riche

Ayane Sakura

Since Riche is very naive like the 2-face Niwatori from Juuni Taisen, she’s very perfect for her.

Johann

Masakazu Morita

Ever since I heard him voice Yukari from K Project, I never expected him to be so perfect in a gay~ish role! So who else fits Johann better than him?

Amelia Ruth

Mamiko Noto

The innocent Amelia Ruth is the match for Mamiko Noto’s cute voice. 

Sora Amamiya

Voiced Touka Kirishima and the weak-looking Honoka Mitsui of Mahouka koukou no rettosei. She can voice a fierce but also innocent character. 

Ai Kayano

Better known for her role as Inori in Guilty Crown and Shiro from No Game No Life. Like the other candidates, she also fits the innocent role of AmeliA Ruth  

I’m truly expecting a VnC Anime in the future, when it gets enough chapters like PH and hopefully the voice casts won’t disappoint us.
