WHAAAAAAT? Monica Rial is not in this dub? Has Funimation finally realized that Ms. Rial cannot possibly be in every single broadcast dub? If so, good for then.

Huh. I figured Caitlin Glass would play Maria. Course, that was when I first read the manga and Fullmetal Alchemist was still running, but oh well. We'll see how Alexis handles the role. She surprised us with Haganai before.

And hey! 1500 posts! That's a mi...ah nobody cares.

Don't get ahead of yourself, there's still Martha, her daughter, Viv, Edwina and her familiar, the other witches, Lolotte, a Valkyrie, and various villagers that need to be cast

While I am glad that the dub Priapos is played by an actual guy, unless Michael is a girl, why is the character played by a woman in bot the su and dub versions?

We have 3 of the Haganai dub VA in here.

ALL RIGHT!!!! Now, I'm on board with Maria the Virgin Witch. After seeing(not reading the reviews) the Grade A's this anime gets every week, I decided to give this anime a look see.

Ironically, Alexis played Yamada's Eros Deity in Yamada's First Time and Yamada was wanting to be a skank.

I will only watch the dub if the characters are voiced in regional British/French accents. Or if they go fully BBC British voices.

I'm liking this cast. Especially with Whitney Rodgers, I always felt she needed more time to shine in lead/supporting roles.

Chris Rager as Galfa throws me off a bit though. All I can imagine is him sounding like Hercule (which is kinda hilarious).

Well, she has been getting more roles lately and there are other roles she's done but NDAs are serious thing.

its possible that michael is probably a kid and its well known that female VA are used to voice young boys in the 7-10 age group. and if that is the case its more surprising that its glass voicing michael and not other female VAs like bailey(young trunks) or christian (young natsu) who have played younger boys before.

Upon seeing further pictures of Michael having boobs, I assume that it's a girl.
