I enjoyed this show. Well, mostly. That ending was a little abrupt and unsatisfying. But otherwise, enjoyable.

Tons of new/unfamiliar names on that cast list. I guess that's a good thing, kinda? At least Bryan Massey and R. Bruce Elliott are in it, if nothing else.

I like Sarah's role in Shomin Sample. I am wondering if she has German ancestry as her last name looks German to me.

I guess FUNi is running behind on their announcements, they've been streaming the first two dubbed episodes on their site since I believe Monday.

I'm currently buying the manga of TokyoESP, because I really enjoyed the anime...but it had such an unsatisfying ending. Vertical's omnibus releases are really nice too, so that's a plus.

Personally i really didn't like Tokyo ESP because of all of the missed opportunities and wasted potential, but its nice that funi is still branching out and getting new vas.

I would think that is a good thing. With the complaints that Funi gets on reusing the same VA pool, this helps. A trend that I have noticed with these broadcast dub cast announcements is that newer talent is often used.However, it's possible for even the new VA pool to get overused eventually.

Yeah, I really liked it outside of the ending, wish they would have made more.

Sarah Wiedenheft's FB has a 1/12 where she announced her Tokyo ESP. Since this was before Funi made an official announcement, I take it she was given permission to announce this role.
