@Nishikaze: By “all other information on ANN…” you mean the other info besides the seiyuu? The seiyuu info is the only correction I pointed out here, the rest are correct, as you’ve also said. There’s absolutely no way they could’ve done that wrong since the staff info was posted in MOONPHASE way back when the anime was announced.

If, on the other hand, you’re saying that even the seiyuu info was correct way back July 27, well I don’t know whatever anomaly happened, but I honestly don’t think my eyes were mistaken when I saw the incorrect seiyuu info on ANN last August 3. j1m0ne even took down the seiyuu infos down because of this. I noticed the change in the ANN seiyuu lineup only after a week or two.

About Ren’s seiyuu, I already mentioned it (and my thoughts about it) in a later blog post. The english page you linked mentions “Koyasu Takehito” as Ren’s seiyuu btw, and that I believe was the false seiyuu information spread since June. As far as I know, the official announcement about the anime cast was only announced in the issue released last August 5, not including Ren’s seiyuu. Katsuyuki Konishi’s casting as Ren was only announced on the issue released on August 20.

The japanese page you linked is just a semi-official blog post about the Skip Beat anime. The official anime homepage is still not up, the last time I checked MOONPHASE the other day.

Ignore my above post the Japanese page doesn’t list the seiyuu, however all the other information on ANN has been correct since July 27th, well before the above post.

I can actually prove this… but it would involve screen shots.

Ren’s seiyuu has been chosen. The official source is here:

He will be played by Katsuyuki Konishi.

BTW… This was announced in early June.

I wonder how’s the graphics of the anime.
Is it going to be as interesting as the manga,
or like others anime, a disappointment in it?

You know, after watching Vampire Knight and Special A, I kinda don’t want this manga to turn into an anime or a drama! They’ll ruin the image for sure… I’m so sad.

Skip Beat is not a episodic manga. Even if it is, it is looong. I don’t want it to turn into a stupid anime!

I just wish they finish the manga with justice and leave it alone. Yahh.

[...] hard to hate grudge demons and anything about this series that has such a anti-shoujo shujinko. ANN made a mistake about the cast but it was all cleared up. We’ve got Marina Inoue doing Kyoko and [...]

@FuyuMaiden: I was really pissed when I found out about their booboo too, but that anger somehow subsided now and I managed to cool off my head ^^; Miyano Mamoru is perfect the somewhat narcissistic Shou too

@L-Chan: yes, until the next issue of Hana to Yume, we can continue to remain hopeful~ You’ve summed up how Miyano Mamoru can really play Shou well. I’d have to agree with Koyasu Takehito as the V.Ghoul (Beagle? lol) guy too *suddenly has vivid images of the creepy stalking scene *hrrr* *

@flou: same here. I hope the ones disappointed with this change will change their minds sooner or later, for the better

@ame: L-chan has shown exactly how Miyano Mamoru will be able to portray Shou well :p

@Wija-chan: I haven’t heard much of Morikawa Toshiyuki, except for his role as Dante, which I can’t really remember that much. But if you say he could fit Ren well, then yoshi, I’ll be happy if he or Ken Narita is casted. Junichi Suwabe is fine too~

@Claricandyxd: yeah, let’s count the days till the 20th of August!

When I saw that in ANN, I started looking somewhere, ANYWHERE that can verify that the casting were right.
I checked the Japanese Wiki for Skip Beat but it wasn’t there at all.
I checked it again on the 4th of August and they were finally posted!
That’s how I found out that Marina Inoue and Mamoru-chama will be voicing their respective roles. ^_^
Hayamizu-san, I know her, she voice a char from Druaga. ^^
Kawanago-san I dunno though. Lawl Hopefully you’ll find out who’s Ren’s seiyuu quicker so this time I’m checking your blog when the 20th’s near. :’p

About Koyasu-san…
I thought it was weird that he was the one chosen for Ren…
good thing it was a false news.
No matter how much I’d love to hear Koyasu-san’s voice for his role, I can’t accept it. D:
It would sound weird. He has a really deep voice after all.
Although he’s still one of my fave seiyuus. (I really wanted him to voice Chairman Cross in Vampire Knight..D: )

Who I really feel would fit Ren’s role is Morikawa Toshiyuki-san. ^w^ Hehe
His voice is surprising that I don’t doubt he can’t make a proper voice for Ren’s role.
Oh yea! :’D Btw..
don’t worry about Wiki and ANN.
After finding about it, I quickly edited them Someone has to correct them after all, before anyone sees it! :’o

Oh noes. Miyano as Shou. sowee…but I can’t imagine him as Shou.
I’m not a fan but LOL he seems to use the same tone of voice..I hope that he can show Shou’s character this time. ~~I’m glad they didn’t cast him as Ren YAY!~~
