His voice is alright I guess. I can't wait to see a full animated PV though.

Haha, how is it decided which roles will be listed?

"The video reveals that voice actor Jun Fukuyama (Working!!s Sōta, Hamatora's Birthday) will play the role of King."

How do you not list Lelouch as a credit for Jun Fukuyama? Granted he isn't using his "Lelouch" voice in the PV.

I keep hearing about this Seven Deadly Sins anime so I may check it out.

How ref roles decided: It's usually what comes to mind first: An older famous role, and a more recent famous role. I remember personally Fukuyama for Working!! (and a new season of Working!! is coming up), so it comes naturally when writing. ^^; I've never seen Lelouch, so it doesn't come to mind first, but I know he plays him. I can't list all the famous roles he's played... He's played a lot of things.

I was so convinced that King was going to played by either Hiro Shimono or Tsubasa Yonaga. This certainly came out of left field! I'm not really complaining. haha Laughing

From what is sounds like in the PV, it seems Fukuyama's take on King will be more lighthearted/easy-going (a la Saki's Suga Kyoutaro) than the more serious/dramatic tone (Code Geass' Lelouch Lamperouge).
Either way, great VA and I've yet to find him voicing a character in an unsatisfactory way

I forgot that Jun Fukuyama can voice with a higher voice. The first thing I thought about his voice is Lelouch's deep voice. Actually Zero's and his dramatic, deep and echoic voice.

Jun Fukuyama is a legend. The only reason I still watch anime is because of him. Very Happy
