This will need one hell of a twist or just have the most completely unexpected tone and approach to make sense in my mind as a Noit series. Seems like generic anime #53774s that you'd see anywhere else.

Because sometimes I do watch sound subbed anime and also because I feel that it generally sounds forced, unnatural, weird, and unnecessary. Keep in mind that is for boys 13+

Some of the posts that I did about this in an AnimeSuki thread called "Criticism of when women do the voices of 13+ boys in anime" that was stated by me:

-I'm more for men doing the voices of 13+ boys in nearly all circumstances (specifically, in harem/fan service titles,
because I find it distracting if a clumsy MC is on a guy and that MC is voiced by a woman. To me, it just feels unnatural for this. If it was more boyish voice like Junko Takeuchi as Naruto, I am more forgiving). That is, if I was to watch 100 anime titles where a 13+ MC is voiced by a girl, I think that perhaps only 10 (at most) are the right fit if he isn't androgynous, cross-dressing, or get turned into a girl.

I think it is also possible that even if the director approved a woman doing the voice of a main guy, the casting choice was a mistake (depending on the character and their personality).

I think it's more natural to have a guy to a teen boy's voice based on how their voice sounds but I don't think it's my intent to object based on the gender. It's more so the voice.
