Due to the way Gundam AGE is set up, obviously there will be multiple sets of casts. Each of the three Ages will have mostly (or completely, as is likely for the third one) different casts. Unlike other shows where there are major characters who come in for an arc, then leave, this show is nearly rewriting its cast each time.

Which brings up how it should be listed in the encyclopedia.

Right now, other than characters with a small number of episodes, the only precisions are for Flit and Disque, who have "young, eps 1-15" and "adult" differentiating between the two cast members. However, most of the first Age's characters, at least from the cast reveal, won't be in the second Age (for a lot of the supporting cast, this would likely mean they've passed away or are too old). Which means that, other than guest characters, every character in this show should have a precision, noting which of the 3 segments they're in.

My suggestion would be, instead of the "young, [episode set]", "adult [episode set]", etc, to list them by Age. For Flit and Disque, it would be "Age 1", "Age 2", or "Age 1 [episode set]", "Age 2 [episode set]", and for characters like Woolf, who aren't changing voices between Ages, "Age 1, Age 2" (because I doubt he'll still be around in Age 3).

I dunno, thought I'd throw this out there, since this is definitely something where a large percentage of the characters will need precisions, and we should probably decide a standard now, before we get the third cast in and have even more to do.

I'm ok with adding a comment to each role for which arc(s) they appear in; it makes sense. But it should match the episode list, and in there the various arcs are indicated not as "Age 1 / Age 2 / Age 3" but as "Flit's Arc / Asemu's Arc / Kio's Arc"
