I gotta say, these days voice actors being replaced (for whatever reason) don't bother me at all.

I heard Takeshi Kusao talking as Toru Amuro on clip someone posted on X, and while the difference is obvious from Toru Furuya, he still fits the role.

Same goes for other characters that Furuya voiced.

I wonder who wil they choose as Amuro in Gundam.

Sad news. It was his role and only his. Still Takeshi's voice is similar to Furuya's so let's adapt to him then!

I guess it was inevitable.

I guess the question is if he'll ever be replaced as Amuro.

Losing the role of a character straight up based off you not even because you're unable to but because you fucked around too much is kind of amazing honestly. Don't feel bad for him and he was going to retire eventually anyway.

He already said Cucuruz Doan Island was going to be his last Amuro role due to age and Char's VA just retired too. So should they return, they will both be different.
