Not many people are aware of this but these 2 are the same voices as Hakase and Sakamoto in Nichijou. They actually have a few references in Lucky Channel about their characters in Nichijou.

Shoutout to satirical commentary on acting subcultures centered around an antagonistic character who hides their utterly derranged self under a cute stage persona with a fear of being upstaged. Gotta be one of my favourite tropes.

[@lupinvash3]

@@EightThreeEight I definitely heard some Viral from him in that yelling segment.

[@kendrillion7281]

For those that don’t get the joke at 50:48, there was a character named Yukito Kunisaki for the anime AIR (also animated by KyoAni) where near the end he was reincarnated as a crow It seems like a weird joke at first until you find out that this was because Daisuke is played by the real Daisuke Ono who also played Yukito and the crow! They technically could have successfully landed the joke in English by getting Vic Mignogna (aka Edward Elric of FMA fame) who played Yukito in the English dub, but this was changed in favor of using Johnny Young Bosch as Daisuke also played Itsuki Koizumi (who the character above is clearly modeled after) a character in Haruhi Suzumiya who Johnny voiced in the dub. Basically this is a voice acting joke that you can only fully get on the JP side of things. I’m also guessing that Kogami’s Japanese VA also voiced Potato (a dog from the same series) based on Daisuke’s off handed comment, but other than that it’s a cool inside joke, lol.

[@rbdan]

If you watch Nichijou, Daisuke Ono is also a crow who takes Sakamoto's speaking ability, who is played by none other than Minoru Shiraishi.

[@kendrillion7281]

@@rbdan oh I remember seeing a discussion about that! They really memed the crap out of him being a bird at one point, granted a few iconic and meme worth stuff came out of Air like Tori no Uta

Fun fact: The EN VA for Akira has also voiced K-On’s own Yui Hirasawa.

[@ElliotKeaton]

She also voiced Mikuru Asahina in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Interestingly, both series have the same set of VAs for their main casts _in both the English and Japanese dubs._ Even more interestingly, you remember that lady who whipped Akira and Minoru back into shape in episode 23? That's Yuuko Gotou, Akira's Japanese VA, and she really is like that in real life. _"In direct contrast to her cute-and-vulnerable moé typecasting, Yuuko in real life is a devotee of biker culture who dresses and acts as such when not working, right down to her motorcycle."_
