It's not like Jouji Nakata has never voiced a "girl" before.


That's the girly voice I'd expect from him.

The character designs are bland as hell. It's not as appealing as any of the established idol games from the past 5 years.

Well, if a Japanese woman can get miscast (at times) for playing teenage boys, then an Japanese man can miscast for playing a teen girl. Note I said can because a miscast is subjective.

ANN, me think you forgot to mention Tokui Sora's character name in the article (Tendou Kanon).

Imagine if Crispin Freeman were to play this character in an English version.
