Yabuki's drawing skills are godlike by now in the manga, and studio XEBEC adapts that very well.

I sure hope we get Darkness S3, and it'd be surprising if it didn't, considering TLRD is XEBEC's golden franchise. Plus, the two intense fights that happen as well as "that scene" at the end of the 2nd fight would be amazing animated. |
Thank you for that. Exactly what chapter in the manga is the so called "2nd fight"?

Then tell me this. Why was Toei Animation able to make a remake of Dragon Ball Z?
That's what I was trying to compare it to.

I couldn't agree more. You never know. Maybe it will have a dub one day. I have a few Canadian VAs in mind who I think might suit some of the characters. Richard Ian Cox would be perfect as the voice of Kenichi Saruyama (Rito's perverted friend) since he sounds exactly like Hiroyuki Yoshino who voices the character in the Japanese version. Also, I wouldn't mind at all hearing Rito being voiced an actress since the character occasionally changes into a girl. Akeno Watanabe seems to do fine voicing both parts in Japanese. For English, I'd like to hear either Cathy Wessluck or Venus Terzo take a crack at it. If there's no dub, then I'd at least like an audio version of the manga made, but who's gonna do that?

I have a firm view that anime human/humanoid boys 13+ should be voiced by guys, except when there there is a gender-bender (cross-dressing or very effeminate). Heck, if Akeno Watanabe was to read this, offense would be intended in saying I feel you wrong for the part of Rito (that's putting nicely).

I don't know if you realize this but the fact of the matter is that Akeno Watanabe for a long time has brought so much to the character of Rito that it's really hard for someone like me to picture anyone else bringing life to him. And besides, Rito isn't a very tough male character to begin with, sometimes but not a lot. In case you haven't noticed, Rito is mostly kind-hearted, very sensitive, and on top of that he hardly ever associates with other male characters. In fact, he's completely different from the rest. Take for example Saruyama or the VMC guys. Rito is mostly seen hanging around with girls and wants to understand them. He always does his best to cope with them despite being shy and having them fall victim towards his "shameless acts of god". So, all in all, I really don't see there being anything wrong with Akeno Watanabe cast as Rito. Probably better that way.
