[podcast] Koyasu Takehito's struggles due to Toji's popularity

[@sobokgaming8476]

Doing a poor sound quality recording at home is probably the most Toji way to audition for a role lol

HE'S SO TOJI LMFAOOOOO

[@frey439]

He do really into the broke role so much

[@ayakashii369]

It's very interesting how koyasu takehito mentions that reading the manga kinda gets in the way of voicing toji. I remember sugitan saying he actively avoids reading the source material because when he knows the story, he finds it hard to voice too! Very interesting how knowing the source make things harder for some actors, I always thought it'd be otherwise

[@elizabethsolorio9837]

It’s the same for EN voice actors

[@WijaVT]

i think it's very common for actors in general to not want or is told not to read through the source material coz it could get in the way of their acting.

[@asianpersuasion4901]

I think it's due to basing their interpretations on future material instead of current material. maybe. cause like, when they record voices, they would be seeing the anime version OF the source material, which in theory should give the same impression. so they're still "seeing" the source material, kinda. but by not reading the source material, they for sure wouldn't see FUTURE content.

[@ranputeras596]

I think it was for the actors to be able to performs naturally, like if you could see the 7 days ahead of you and saw what happened in future, I think you would be confused how to act "naturally"

[@JonborgVA]

It has to do with biases if have a role you know nothing about, you get into a feeling and start being creative like the voice could be high or low, but if you read or watched or played the source material you could be biased and be like no this is how the character will be. Which makes it shallow and one note.

[@MochachiiinoWorks]

I find this funny becuz it makes me visualize toji with a headset twiddling his thumbs talking about his role LMAO

[@TR-qf2gt]

i think if toji took on acting, he’d be a great stunt+method actor

He is my fav VA. From Dio, to Zeke, to Aokiji, to Toji. All of my fav characters covered

[@rainabraun1350]

I find Koyasu-san cute and adorable. I mean, in contrast to the characters that he usually voices, he's just chill and gentle. I really love how he portrayed Toji, I couldn't think of any other seiyuu who will be perfect for the role.

[@chinavirus841]

It’s Dio

[@johnhallberg6084]

I would say Koyama Rikiya probably could have played him really well. He’s voiced characters like Kiritsugu Emiya from Fate Zero and Azazel from Highschool DxD, so he definitely has that chill and deep voice. Plus he’d be both a Mage and Sorcerer Killer

[@adventurer3288]

It's kinda strange when you see him voice a good guy, like Kraft from Frieren

I like how koyasu takehito has such a cute voice, when i first saw his picture i thought he'd be a scary person but he seems so gentle and nice🙈

[@KaiserNetwork]

Surprised he have to audition for it. You'd think popular VA like him will be given roles left and right.

[@biazacha]

That’s probably why you never see outrageous miscasting in anime tho, they really care about the voice matching the character.

[@nictheperson6709]

@@biazacha At the same time though, what if the right voice actor just, like, doesn't audition? Especially those really one-of-a-kind VAs like Koyasu

[@temp-x8518]

@@nictheperson6709 you need to audition its mandotory. its like saying you put a rapper into a different genre of music like hip hop or rock even tho they are famous it wont fit since they dont do that genre u see what im trying to say??

[@bigmyke2008]

its a job dude, even the top names have to at least audition, nobody gets handouts

[@lockerbuddy2039]

​@@bigmyke2008 Over here in the states they do, it's often why you'll see actors get roles in animated films even tho they have minimal experience in voice acting, which is different in many departments. Thankfully animated shows tend to put way more care into finding the right voices but they still will reach out to people but it's mostly because they have a great voice that fits the character, such as JK Simmons as Omniman in Invincible.

[@Luvadrianah]

Whenever I watch these videos and listen I immediately imagine each character with a headset talking to each other through a laptop or sitting in a cafe together talking about how they acted and what they thought of their acting. It brings the character to life when I imagine this! All of them interacting together brings me joy.

[@starlightashh]

i've already seen some of Koyasu's previous work and i knew he matched perfectly with Toji, but what suprised me was how cool Yasumoto's voice is! both of them have such an amazing voice, they were perfect to the role. Thanks konpei for the sub!

[@thatguycolor]

Yasumoto played Bjorn in Vinland Saga and absolutely KILLED IT

[@JamaisVuCrew]

Its like heavenly music to my ears listening to them just chat. Voice actors are really just on a whole other level. And Mr. Yasumoto had me laughing at the end too 😭😭

when it comes to hot men, koyasu takehito's def the best choice for voice XD he voiced takasugi shinsuke - the hottest 2d man, toji fushiguro - the ult dilf, zeke yeager - ugh, nikolai gogol - mmmh, and dio brando - tsk

How about Tsuda Kenjiro?

@@colorx6030 he's a great seiyuu too! i'm more familiar with kenjiro-san voicing otome game characters tho, and i only know he voiced nanami & kishibe.. i think kenjiro-san is suited for serious-type men with deep voices!

I wish voice actors like Koyasu level sometimes got to choose roles and works.

[@なな-s7g2b]

新人声優が育たなくなるからだと思います

[@BEDCORN]

Takasugi Shinsuke is insanely underrated, that character fits him even more than Dio and I saw JJBA before Gintama

[@ju5tm398]

One of my favourite things about toji was that Takehito koyasu was voicing him so its sad he's in the series as little as he is

[@gunswordfist]

I'm 0:13 in and way are Enoki and Koyasu's personalities so much like their characters so far? Toji would tease and Itadori would have this childlike enthusiasm. I love it.

[@xh3075]

I knew him from his role in Fushigi Yuugi as Hotohori and fell in love with his voice T_T I also forgot that he voiced Zechs Merquise from Gundam Wing, alongside another VA from Fushigi Yuugi (Tamahome) who played as Heero. Kinda funny considering their two characters would fight w/each other over the heroine in FY, then became each other's enemies in GW lol He's also done some BL cd dramas. I really enjoy his voice acting. He did great as Toji.

[@ZinoAmare]

This is the one serie I love so many different characters they all seem badass and awesome, Thank you Koyasu for Toji as we know him.

[@satyayana1399]

lmao why would his way of speaking at works and at daily life being same? (it'll be like someone had to be jumping around and salto a lot during their daily routine simply coz said person a circus)

[@q_tfiaw]

@@satyayana1399 It's just that when I hear voice actors speaking I could still hear the tones they use for characters, like "Oh yeah this guy definitely voices this one character, I could hear it in his voice" But I didn't had that reaction with Koyasu

[@ReginaldHanzo21]

Oof yeah, I can imagine how scenes from later arcs that flash back to Toji would make it harder to be detached in the interpretation of Toji in the present lol
