Sentai Filmworks Lists Shining Hearts Anime's English Cast

North American anime licensing company Sentai Filmworks announced the English dub cast for its upcoming release of the Shining Hearts television anime series on Wednesday:

Christopher Ayres is serving as the ADR director.

Sentai FIlmworks will offer the anime on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on August 13. The distributor describes the story:

Over the years, many strange things have washed up on the shores of Windaria, a mysterious island where humans, elves and other beings all live in harmony. Rick, a former swordsman who runs the Le Coeur Bakery with his three beautiful coworkers Neris, Amil and Airy, knows this all too well, having been found on the beach with a profound case of amnesia himself. Perhaps that's why Rick takes a quick interest in Kaguya, a girl who arrives in Windaria in a similar fashion. Whatever the reason, it soon becomes apparent that his skills with a sword may be required to protect the lovely castaway. For dark forces are on the move, the red moon is on the rise and a deathly wind is blowing into Windaria in the form of pirates, brigands and other strangers, all of whom seem to be seeking Kaguya! Or is it the mysterious pendant that she wears that they're after? The one thing that's sure is that there will be no time for loafing around the bakery now, because everything's about to come out of the oven and go into the fire in SHINING HEARTS!

Itsuro Kawasaki (The Legend of the Legendary Heroes, Listen to Me, Girls. I Am Your Father!, Rental Magica) directed the anime at Production I.G and supervised the series scripts. Yuuko Yahiro (Is This a Zombie?, B Gata H Kei - Yamada's First Time) served as chief animation director, and Hiroki Kikuta, who composed the music for the original game, also composed the music for the series.
