Some anime casting announcements are nice little updates. Others make you stop scrolling because you immediately start imagining how a particular character will sound on screen. The news that Kazuyuki Okitsu is joining the Firefly Wedding anime as Eishin Nitobe falls firmly into the second category for me. If you have been following Oreco Tachibana’s…
Some manga adaptations arrive with years of hype behind them, and then there are the ones fans have practically begged the industry to make for as long as anyone can remember.
