Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

How the gently caress is the thousand year old demon who looks 12 the best character, this destroys everything I believed was true.

That's an easy one to answer: because they don't do anything creepy like sexualize her or try to play her up as moe.

how they get away publishing such things we'll never know. In all honesty she's one of my favorite characters. Sort of a comedy antagonist.

They have to get Michael Cera to voice Kuromine and Hynden Walch to voice Shiragami for the dub, they're the only people who have dorky enough voices to match the characters.

But I actually like Kuromine, DrSunshine! Don't go ruining it by casting that giant douchenozzle into the actually likable main character. :colbert:

Kuromine is far too likeable to be voiced by Michael Cera.

I'm not entirely sure how that rough, sketchy art style that gives the series much of its charm would translate, though. Anime tends to be much cleaner for ease of animation.

it should do the jojo thing of colour-changing close-ups and dramatic sound effects. like take everything incredibly seriously even though its the dumbest poo poo in the world.

I also agree on the principal being the best character. the sport day and meteor chapters solidify that so much.

I also think that, whoever gets cast when this gets turned into an anime has their work cut out for them as long as they can both do “cute and dumb” appropriately. Kana Asumi (who incidentally plays Nyaruko-san) would be great as either the Shiragami mom or daughter.
Kana Asumi has already proven to do a good job of playing Kansai characters with her performance as Marika in Nisekoi, too. I'd be totally down for that, she'd b a pretty good fit for Shiragami.

I didn't even notice Wakamoto in Nozaki-kun :negative:

Diggin' your avatar, buddy! :hfive:

Until recently, my favorite female VA was probably either Miyuki Sawashiro (added to the fact that she's also super-dynamite in person) or Mai Nakahara, but after somebody recommended me to watch Nyaruko-san, I was... well, I actually didn't care for the series that much, but it was pure, mindless fun with a bunch of tokusatsu and actual honest-to-goodness occasional Lovecraft-lore gags, references and what-have-you. But what really sold me was precisely the goofy, boundless energy that Kana Asumi brought forth with the Crawling Chaos. Like Miyuki Sawashiro, Aya HIrano, or Chiwa Saito probably have way better range and the other two Kanas (Hanazawa and Ueda) have a certain je ne sais quoi that usually gets you people watching, Kana Asumi has a certain... pizzazz about her delivery that I find super fun.

And cute.

And somewhat dumb. :3:

Which makes her a perfect candidate for a character whenever this manga gets an anime greenlit.

Cheers, this AV was a real pain to compress down to a filesize big enough to be used, without dropping the quality/framerate to absurdly low levels.

Kana Asumi is the best. Her over-excited delivery is great and she can pull off pretty much any of the female cast in this manga. She'd actually make a pretty good Akari, now that I think about it.
HanaKana sticks to the same old timid "doushio~" characters and I find her almost as one-dimensional as TsundeRie Kugimiya when it comes to her VA roles. I couldn't imagine them as any of the main cast. Ueda on the other hand, would do a nice job as Mikan, Shiho or maybe Aizawa.

That's surprisingly likely given the context of this series, but I think with her little moment about pretending to be a devil, she's a hardcore chuuni

No, I've got it. The rest of the angels are actually yakuza and she's fallen because she's actually a nice person.

she does know about shiragami's parents, which means she was probably around the school at one point, which means the chances of the principal ruining her life are quite high

I'm honestly expecting to find out that Karen was either a competitor for Genjirou and got pettily dicked over by Akane or that she wasn't and Akane decided to act as if she was anyway. Because I'm putting money on her whole 'grant your wish in the most unexpected way' to have some basis in her past and the principal's actions.

Edit: Alternatively alternatively, her and Akane's past goes back even further and Karen knew the rumored-of Koumoto great-great-grandad.

Kinda late on this, but Marika's dialect isn't Kansai. I think it's a Kyushu dialect, but I'm not sure.
