Inoue Marina, Ono Daisuke Join Negima Cast

I thought I’d just shoot out this piece of info for those not already aware - Inoue Marina and Ono Daisuke will be joining the cast of Negima for the Ala Alba OAD as Inugami Kotaro and Ku:Nel Sanders respectively, as announced at the Negima event yesterday. Since it’s the weekend, there’s no detailed coverage of the event as yet - will wait a few days and do a bumper Inoue Marina updates post then.

Oh my god. Is this perhaps enough to restore my faith and watch the anime adaptations once again?

Inoue Marina as Kotaro?? Wow, I never saw that one coming. I wonder whether the Negima event also confirmed if everyone else was returning to their roles (?)
RmX - I never felt Negima’s anime problems were ever seiyuu based before, so I wouldn’t take this as an indication it will be good. But Ala Alba will supposedly follow the manga so… happy days.

Awesome news. I think Marina and Daisuke fit really well for their casted roles. Hopefully the new OVA will be everything that we hoped the previous adaptations would be. ^^

Yes, all the Negima!? cast members are returning and that includes Saito Chiwa as Anya

Never would have thought Marina for Kotarou (was thinking of Kobayashi Sanae myself), but this will be interesting. And of course, it’s the great Ono D; characters like Colonel are a given.
