This is an interesting cast. I haven't heard a lot of their voices (and I've never even heard of the VA's playing the leads), so im curious how it'll turn out. It's cool that funi dubbing this though, i'm really enjoying this show. Do they ever upload these simuldubs for non-subscribers though?

I see at least a couple names in the cast I don't recall hearing in the past, and that's great! Smile While I do enjoy the voices of veteran seiyuu, it's refreshing that Funimation is starting to dip a bit further into their talent pool to bring in news ones at least every once in a while.

Wow was not expecting this at all but I do hope that it translates to a blu-ray release cause I've enjoyed this series and hope that a second season is made.

Yeah, but is there demand for a dubbed version of this show? I enjoy it as another "shut-down" shows - that is, a show which I just watch and shut-down my brain to just enjoy and action & fan service scenes.

Oh boy. Screw Yurikuma, THIS is what I've been waiting weeks and weeks to hear a casting announcement for.

But in all seriousness it's a pretty damn decent cast even if I don't care or the show one bit. Lots of fresh faces is a good thing. Glad to see Rico Fajardo is geting some more work because I haven't heard him in anything since We Without Wings (Which, by the way, is actually a pretty decent ecchi series).

Well Funi have dubbed a ton of ecchi in the past and it seems to have worked out for them just fine.

That really bites. I hope they bring the LNs here then. When did the anime stop following the LNs?

Felecia has somewhat been typecast in LN-based shows: Absolute Duo, Aesthetica, Ben-To, Date A Live, Hataraku Maou-sama!, D×D, and Seiken Tsukai.
