posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
FUNimation Entertainment announced the cast and began streaming a preview for its broadcast dub of Sky Wizards Academy on Wednesday.
The cast — under ADR Director Felicia Angelle, ADR Engineer Jose Sandoval, assistant ADR engineers Todd Chism, Phillip Jones, and Greg Taylor, and head writer Monica Rial — includes:
- Joel McDonald as Kanata Age
- Tia Ballard as Misora Whitale
- Megan Shipman as Lecty Eisenach
- Dawn M. Bennett as Rico Flamel
The dub premiered on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. EDT as part of Funimation's DubbleTalk block.
The series premiered in Japan on July 8, and Funimation is streaming the series with English subtitles as it airs in Japan.
Funimation describes the series:
Forced to retreat to floating cities due to an invasion of magical armored insects, humanity must now depend on Sky Wizards to battle the menace via mid-air battles. Once known as the “Black Master Swordsman,” Kanata Age is now considered a traitor and is assigned to lead an F-class of mismatched MAGES. Misora Whitale has all the enthusiasm to be a leader, but she's failed 100 consecutive tests. Rico Flamel is a genius sniper, but she's a little self-absorbed, and Lecty Eisenach is a candidate with all the ambition but zero confidence. It's up to Kanata Age to train the troubled trio to become accomplished Sky Wizards.
Takayuki Inagaki (Rosario + Vampire, My mental choices are completely interfering with my school romantic comedy) is directing the series at diomedéa (Gingitsune, Astarotte's Toy) with series composition by Hiroshi Yamaguchi (Rosario + Vampire, ToHeart2).
