Every single Seiyuu from the Joseimuke game IDOLiSH7 (as collected by the IDOLiSH7 Wiki), and whether or not they voice a character in the Transformers Franchise; human and crossover characters included
Any characters that are not animated as of the ending of IDOLiSH7 Third Beat are listed in the SPOILER CHARACTER section. Please tread with caution
As one of our first little audience participation moments, I'll have you guys pick between the two main characters for this game, Raul and Fiona, through a poll!
You see, every SRW game (except for 1. and Compact.) features one or more characters belonging to no series, and instead being created explicitly for the game they’re in; these serve as the “glue” that holds the various different plots together by giving us a big bad evil boss (who’s usually pulling the strings behind a good few of the other shows’ storylines) and a main character who you can usually name freely.
At their best, they can be just as memorable as the actual licensed characters, but at worst, they can be Poochie-like cardboard cutouts who hog screentime that could go to the actually fun characters from the licensed shows.
For what it’s worth, I think the OG plot from R is pretty good, though I'm not as familiar with Fiona’s character as Raul’s. Regardless of which character you pick, the general flow of events is the same, but Raul and Fiona will react differently to certain events and have different dynamics with different characters, and there’s a total of 4 different epilogues based on which of the two protagonists you picked and what route you choose to go down after the first episode’s route split.
To help pick, here’s a better look at their character designs:
After their designs, the most immediately obvious difference between the two are their different theme songs and endgame machines. Raul’s theme song is Over the Time Flow, and Fiona’s is Over the World Wall. I won’t be showing what the mechs look like, due to spoiler reasons, but in case anyone who doesn’t care about spoilers would like to look them up, Raul’s is the Excellence Lightning Frame, and Fiona’s is the Excellence Eternal Frame.
In terms of stats, Raul has more Melee, Defense, and Skill, while Fiona has more Ranged, Evasion and Hit. In other words, Raul specializes in Melee damage and has an easier time landing crits, and Fiona specializes in Ranged damage, and has an easier time landing hits in general. On top of that, defensively, Raul is more of a Super pilot, while Fiona is more of a Real pilot. The Super/Real distinction is legacy SRW terminology, and i plan to make posts explaining it and other SRW gameplay information in the future for people tuning in who don’t necessarily know the series very well, but for right now all you need to know is that Supers like tanking damage, while Reals prefer avoiding it altogether.
As a final distinction to help people choose, in future voice acted games where the two appear, Raul is voiced by Gou Inoue (Stain from Hero Academia, Spain from Hetalia, Biggs from Final Fantasy XIV, Keyloid from Tokyumei Sentai Go-Busters) and Fiona is voiced by Yuki Masuda (Yuki Sakakibara from Sakura Taisen, Panne and Ricken from Fire Emblem Awakening, Ukraine from Hetalia). No, I don't know why they both worked on Hetalia, I guess that's just what the 2000s were like.

REVIEW | "I'm the Villainess, So I'm Taming the Final Boss" | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade
It’s not a new concept for someone to be transported into a video game. Hell, Disney kinda did it first with Tronforty years ago! But in the anime isekai realm, there appears to be a new growing trend with people being reincarnated into their favorite dating sim games. 2020’s My Next Life as Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom cleverly went this path, with its main character Catarina doing all she could to avoid becoming the bad guy. But what happens if you found yourself transported immediately after you’ve done all of the bad things? Well…there’s nowhere else to go but even further towards the dark side, which is exactly what Aileen (Rie Takahashi) does in I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss!
The story begins right when Aileen’s fiancé Cedric (Toshiki Masuda) dumps her in favor of Lilia (Kana Hanazawa). Just as the breakup happens, Aileen’s memories from when she lived in Japan awaken, as she realizes that she’s in the world of her favorite otome game Regalia of Saints, Demons, and Maidens. Knowing that her fate is to be killed by the demon lord Claude (Yuichiro Umehara), Aileen’s gracefully accepts the breakup, and searches for Claude. Upon arrival at his castle, Aileen lays out a deal for Claude: marry her, so she won’t die like she does in the game!
Naturally, Claude doesn’t take Aileen up on her offer, instead throwing her out. But Aileen’s not one to just up and quit. Using her skills and knowledge of the game, Aileen manages to first convince Claude’s allies Keith (Jun Fukuyama) and Beelzebuth (Yuki Ono) that she means no ill intentions. After she selflessly rescues a Fenrir cub from a trap, Claude sees that Aileen’s siding with him more than the humans that fear the demon lord.
Thus begins a partnership that slowly transforms into romance. With her can-do attitude, Aileen aids in fixing up Claude’s castle, as well as fix a bit of his reputation amongst the nobles and rich folks. However, Aileen’s happiness puts Cedric in a fit, to the point where he can’t even think of Lilia out of his jealousy towards Claude. And before viewers can blink, the sides of good and evil find themselves switched.
