Here’s an unexpected and happy piece of news (for me anyway). Inoue Marina and Nazuka Kaori have been confirmed as the latest to join the yuri lovefest that is Maria-sama ga miteru! The pair have been cast as the Naito sisters, with Marina taking on Shoko i.e. the one with the hots for Tsutako and Nazuka voicing elder sister Katsumi, who had some sort of rivalry with Rosa Foetida IIRC. The casting was revealed in the first episode of the revived Marimite radio show, hosted once again by Yumi.. I mean Ueda Kana.
In fact we already get to hear what Shoko & Katsumi might sound like in the anime as they featured in the drama segment. I’m actually quite surprised that Nazuka’s been cast in the ‘older sister’ role – she always struck me as the imouto type. I don’t think either role is that big anyway – in fact that drama bit alone probably contained more lines for the two of them than they’ll actually get in the anime (if they appear at all) ^^;
Anyway, the only thing that’s registering in my brain now is Sato Rina (Tsutako) X Inoue Marina (Shoko). Rina X Marina. Negi (Rina) X Kotaro (Marina). Negi X Kotaro… I just watched Ala Alba the other day >_<
Marimite drama cast
Edit: OK, so Animate.tv have now put up an interview with the drama cast (as seen above), so now I know that it was Shindo Kei (Atsuko) and Takagaki Ayahi (Miyuki)’s voices that were so generic I had no idea who they were. The line-up in the pic above is: [back row] Takagaki, Kaida Yuko (Minako), Shindo [front row] Nazuka Kaori, Inoue Marina, Sato Rina.
