What about announcing Akihisa Yoshii? You know, the lead character!

Also, what about Yuuji Sakamoto?

EDIT: I see that they "updated"... Updated is a nice way of saying "Here are the characters we forgot to announce".

I'm glad Josh Grelle and Scott Freeman are in the cast!

I've become a Terri Doty fan so I'm super excited to see her on this project. Her work on Oofuri was marvelous and I have high hopes for this show.

Greg Ayers again? Man i dunno if i'm the only one but I think his particular voice only works for VERY SPECIFIC CHARACTERS.

Sunohara from Clannad was NOT one of them. I'm sorry but this guys voice just plain sucked for that particular character.

He was fine with less important, not-so-drama heavy characters like Kensuke from the new Eva movie(s), he was fine as Harley from Regios, and he was even fine as SHinji Kazama from Full Metal Panic; all characters that either provide some comic relief for the show, or in kazama's case, are given a serious spot but don't linger on as a main or sub main character throughout the entire show.

Yeah Sunohara is the butt-monkey, but he is also the main Tomoya's best friend who has his share of serious moments that in the japanese dub, his voice actor pulls off pretty convincingly. Something which Ayers just cannot do given his particular range.

With that said; Kouta for Baka Test is a solid casting choice for him. This may be his best role yet along with Tsuyoshi from Kodocha (a shame probably no more of that will be dubbed, was looking forward to owning the entire thing...)

Hmm, Brina Palencia as Hideyoshi. Am I the only one that is feeling she getting more trap roles.
