for one i love shinichiro miki as hiruma way more than atsushi tamura (tho tamura gives more oomph to the "ya-ha" than miki) but aside from that
i love
very big love the fact that they made hiruma say "fucking" in english every two sentences
it gives the Big Impression of the stereotype of That Guy That Just Learned American English and Now Won't Stop Adding "Fuck" to Every Single Sentence which sends my heart considering hiruma's bg with americans stationed in jpn it's sofuchkingfunny i love him sm

Char Aznable Makes Unexpected Appearance in Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island
The official website for the forthcoming anime feature film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island announced today that Char Aznable, the most prominent villain in the original Gundam anime franchise, and his MS-06R-1A Zaku II Char Custom High Mobility Type will make an appearance in the story.
The film is based on the first Mobile Suit Gundam TV anime's 15th episode of the same name, which was aired in Japan on July 14, 1979, and Char didn't appear in the original episode. So his appearance is a big surprise to fans. Also, Shuichi Ikeda, the original VA of Char, is confirmed to reprise his iconic role once again.
Message from director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko:
By introducing the long-loved character Char Aznable, we can please not only fans but also many others. I also thought that having Shuichi Ikeda-san participate in this project would further enhance the appeal of the work, so I have added a new element to this 'Cucuruz Doan's Island.' Please look forward to this film with this new charm.
A new illustration of Char and his Zaku drawn by the film's character designer/chief animation director Atsushi Tamura is also revealed.
The magazine “Disney Fan” released a little blurb where the voice actors of Azul Ashengrotto (Tamaru Atsushi) and Kalim Al Asim (Furuta Kazuki) told a small story of theirs related to Twisted Wonderland. This is a translation of those stories.
They also coordinated an outfit based on their characters, those pictures can be found under the cut. Please do not repost them.
We decided to sell an official fanbook from "Disney Fan"!
This autumn, our editorial department at "Disney fan" has scheduled to release a must-read fanbook for you, who finally arrived at NRC. This book will also have interviews with the voice actors of the characters! This time we will introduce Azul Ashengrotto's VA Tamura Atsushi and Kalim Al Asim's VA Furuta Kazuki with a small story of theirs.
Azul Ashengrotto/VA: Tamaru Atsushi
I'm sure I will be captured by the charm of villains! (TN: Can also mean that you will be captured)
My character Azul is smart and at a first glance a polite gentleman to everyone but actually… well you'll find out during the development of the story and the game. Twisted has characters of each dorm interwoven and linked with each other, it's quite a profound work. I think the game's main story is especially deep and interesting. The world building is also wonderful, it feels like it surpasses the borders of a box called "a game". When I was a child, villains were simply bad guys, but when I grew up, even though they were scary, I was done in by their weak points and charms, so I couldn't detest them and I feel they became cool and cute and more so fascinating characters to me. I became excited when I heard I could play a character who inherited the soul of a villain concerning Disney, so I think Azul is thoroughly cool! And since I also like board games, like Azul, I should play the game to learn more about the gist of every student and character!
Kalim Al Asim/VA: Furuta Kazuki
There are scenes that will make you undergo great hardships! (TN: Same as Azul, can also mean that he underwent them)
Ever since I started playing Kalim, I've burned lots of calories. He is so energetic, like he's a character that’s continuously emitting energy don't you think? That's why I go to the gym in the morning to loosen my body, and enter the sauna to experience the desert. During the recording, I dealt with trying to build up Kalim so he felt as real as possible from within. During that time, I gulped down lots of rice balls and nutritious supplements. Especially chapter 4, the " The Tactician of the desert", was troublesome. There are probably some people who haven't tackled it yet, so I can't talk about the details, but there were plenty of moments where I got too much in my role and overdid it, and there are scenes where I bled from my throat as well. I'm also playing the game! By advancing in the game, I also understood how the other voice actors portrayed the atmosphere. However, the game is more fun than anything else. Lately, I've been checking the attributes each day, and work hard at the scheduled alchemy classes. I have to level their magic up a lot after all to become strong. It's really thorough you know? Unlike Kalim (laughs).
