Sakura Wars 5 cast
The Sakura Taisen mailing list has been buzzing lately since the names and faces of the New York Kagekidan for the 5th game were revealed... the consensus seems to be they're boring. Looking at the seiyuu talent lined up it looks like most of them are in an alto/contralto range and play generally calm, un-genki 
characters (the seiyuu for the main character, Gemini Sunrise, played Hikaru no Go's Akira Touya in another life)- with the exception of Momiji Souma's seiyuu, who plays yet another hyper character - so it'll be interesting to see what the result will be. Although on reflection, a nice low-pitched range of voices would surely be better than a bunch of sopranos squeaking throughout the game.
The only person I was really interested in was Ookawa Shinjirou, the player character replacing Oogami, and it turns out that not only is it Oogami's nephew, but he's a naval lieutenant (Oogami started out as an ensign). He's supposed to be 19, but they're drawing him really young and pretty. I thought he was one of the girls until I read a translation.
Perhaps an effort to bring in female players...? (although technically Shinjirou would be seen very rarely.)
