I'm looking forward to it. I think that Sarah Williams was picked right for the role of Niko, but we’ll see what she can do when she appears. As for the role of Kuroyukihime, I was not impressed with Kira's work as Lagrange - The Flower of Rin-ne's Madoka Kyōno. So maybe she can changed my mind with Accel World

They were all members on the voice acting alliance amature voice acting forums.
2 of them won ax idol at anime expo in the past.
They are all very talented.

Haushinka
Ookami-kun
Taya
And Lucien

Congrats on these roles. Cant wait to watch this.

Must mean aniplex isnt willing to pay for union actors and honestly im glad to hear some fresh voices in the dubs.

I feel as though Michelle T. Hseih might be an alias for Stephanie Sheh.

But nonetheless, I'm looking forward to the dub. Will be watching on Neon Alley and definitely be picking this up on Blu-Ray(hopefully Viz releases the first 12 eps by the end of the year)

This is a Viz show, not Aniplex. I think Viz decides whether or not a show is a union or not depending if the show would be worth it to invest a ton of money to get the best of the best voice actors on said project

Interesting that their going mostly for fresh talent with the main characters, though there'll obviously be some familar names in there later on. I've only heard Erik Kimerer as Inugami in Nura, and since I don't expect his Haru to sound anything like that, I'll be interested in seeing how well he can pull it off. Also interested in seeing Kira Buckland voice a character like Kuroyukihime since the characters I've seen her play aren't quite as serious.

I guess it'll be hard to judge it as a whole till we get a trailer or dub clips. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing the dub Very Happy

Sorry, I have trouble controlling THE VOLUME OF MY VOICE!

Heh, classic. But seriously, heard of nobody here.

Gah, I was hoping they'd revealed the Zetman cast too, but looks like they haven't. I'm hesitant about that one but I still need to see it, so I'm interested in who they cast.

A lot of new comers. The only one I recognize is Scarlet Rain's voice actress, and that's only because she did Sayaka from Madoka Magica.

Not really. These folks have been doing this (either as amateurs, or in Lucien's case, as professionals) for quite some time now.

I don't as much about the other members of the cast, but Lucien had been doing professional VO in NYC for at least 5 years now (I think).

He isn't as well-known as some folks, but within the industry he's been known for quite some time (from panels, as a convention guest, and his work in various animation series and one-offs).

Didn't realize he'd relocated to LA, but good on him for following through and taking the chance.

Nice to see Bang Zoom continue to use a mix of relatively new voice actors and veterans for their dubs (if that indeed is Sheh), which help keep them fresh and gives different actors a shot at particular roles. It helps, too, that much of those "newcomers" happen to be pretty good. Additionally, it's good to see the company use more non-anime VAs lately, too, which also goes a long way in help keeping dubs more varied.
