He was the Japanese voice for Fei Fong Wong, wasn't he? Interesting.

EDIT: A quick Google search reveals that he's done a LOT more prominent roles. Season 0 Kaiba, Sakamoto, Heero "I'll kill" Yuy, who's another angsty giant robot pilot like Fei...

The look seems to fit more Tiger Mask W's style. Doesn't look bad at all.

Well, this is going to be a very different role for him. It's going to be interesting to see what he's like chewing the scenery.

Yeah, Midorikawa is one of those voice actors that been around for a long time now and continues to pop up nearly everywhere over the years without every really fading into the background to make way for newer seiyuu. (See also Takehito Koyasu, Shinichiro Miki and Toshiyuki Morikawa)

It will be interesting to see him do a hot-blooded character as he tends to play the opposite of that a fair amount of the time. But I know he can do passionate well. A certain dramatic scene in Fate/Zero can attest to that.

I just want to see the same level of quality, animation-wise. That epic fight choreography was one of the biggest highlights of the first season for me. Hopefully it will return, albeit through a different channel. Confused
