Why couldn't they just cast any real seiyuus for this film? I'd like to see someone I truly recognize by name. Being cast in an animated film helps boost the status of any voice over artist. I mean look for example Mel Blanc, June Foray, Frank Welker, Jim Cummings, or even Tom Kenny for crying out loud.

That's quite the epic sounding OST! Overall it's a really nice PV though. Great animation, good character designs, appealing sounding fantasy story. Ghibli-esqe, but not TOO much so, in my opinion.

Studio Ghibli tended to not use typical voice actors, instead relying on people with live action experience. It worked for them. This new studio spun out of the reminants of Ghibli looks to do the same.

I have a soft spot for anime based around witches and this one looks to be pretty darn good.
