Well, I was fearing this would happen, but what is done is done. Suzuki may have been a scumbag, but it was undeniable his deep, charismatic voice was perfect for Anos and without him the character wouldn't be the same. Whoever replaces him will have big shoes to fill.

Daisuke Ono is the only voice actor which comes to my mind who can replace Suzuki and give the same feeling as him, as their voices can get similar sounding at times. Outside that, I think Yuichi Nakamura or Yuichiro Umehara would be good replacements too.

Still sad Anos is going to sound differently for the second season. Can only hope the new seiyuu can be as iconic as Suzuki.
On an unrelated note, this means he will also be dropped out of Shuumatsu no Valkyrie as Shiva, which also sucks,

fr bro him being a scumsht doesn't change the fact the he's a great seiyuu and just when he started climbing more up(though I don't his side of story it's only confirmed by media and all but still he dropped out)hope that fckng scumbag comes back after resting his brain .The only seiyuu comes to my mind having similar voice as his are either Furukawa Makoto and Ono Daisuke or Yuichi Nakamura or Daisuke Namikawa could too but with low possibility.

Well, he’s also the VA for Draken in Tokyo Revengers. Which is more popular than MoDA; so that’s gonna have a huge impact. But unlike Anos, Draken isn’t the MC. Sad times.

Heard he's keeping his role as Makoto in Free (apparently his performance as Makoto is iconic enough for fans of the series to not want him replaced), so there's still hope for him to keep voicing Drakken. However, his absence in the Tokyo Revengers live event is worrisome at the very least.

Don't think it's gonna be Makoto Furukawa (for Anos at least), simply cause he already voices a character in Maou Gakuin.

And yeah, the chances of Suzuki returning for Drakken are slim, especially with the second season confirmed.

At this rate, he's going to share the same fate as her. He's gonna end being getting way less roles and will only get to voice supporting characters save for some of his main roles from previous works.

I cant believe this. Private and work life should be seperated. why drag personal into work life.

Suzuki, Tatsuhisa voiced as Anos is excellent and going to be hard to find someone on par with him

Japan expects your entire life to be your work life so if you make scumbag mistakes in your private life you might as well have fucked up on the job. It’s stupid but it is what it is. It happens in the West too even though I wish it didn’t, although not to this extreme.

You're right. Some countries, does not care about personal life or only if a celebritiy but in most casees what goes out personal and work life is seperate. THe other thing I can think of is illegal then yes it will/could affect work life.

Yuuichirou Umehara does have the deep voice similar to Tatsuhisa Suzuki and I am sure he will do a good job just like in Goblin Slayer

I'm glad Umehara got picked, since he was one of the candidates I wanted for Anos after knowing Suzuki would be retired from the anime. I'll miss Suzuki, but I hope Umehara can give us a wonderful performance as the Demon King of Tyranny.

Yuichiro Umehara voice is deep ( He did a wonderful job voicing Goblin Slayer )
So yes , he absolutely fits Anos
We can expect the 2nd Season Part 1 to air in Fall 2022 & Part 2 Spring 2023

” Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, “O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented. O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste.” So she pointed to him. They said, “How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?” [Jesus] said, “Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet. And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and alms tax as long as I remain alive. And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant. And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive.” That is Jesus, the son of Mary—the word of truth about which they are in dispute. It is not for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is. [Jesus said], “And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path.” [Holy Quran : Chapter Maryam (Mary) : 23-36]

Umehara voice is really fun to hear but I think it doesn't come close to Suzuki at all. It's very unique that you can tell it's his voice when you hear characters that he voiced, but its also makes it harder to imitate someone else. Seems like they're heading for a totally different voice direction instead of trying to imitate the original.

It's hard to imagine when Suzuki's voice has been so ingrained with the character that hearing someone else that completely different would be quite surprising I reckon.

Damn, Umehara. They really thought about this change. I'll really miss Suzuki's Anos, but Umehara's a voice that definitely works in its own way. Can even see it fitting better in some ways. I should get used to his role.

Will always be a damn shame tho. Suzuki really owned Anos, and even had that sick OP that he sang. Real tragic lol.

but, after finding out there would be a replacement voice for Anos and that it would be Yūichirō Umehara i screamed "YEEES!" because i seriously love Yūichirō's voice

Aya was treated like an idol and idols, especially female ones, are expected to remain "pure". Okamoto Nobuhiko and Namikawa Daisuke also cheated but it didn't affect their careers at all, even though both are "seiyuu idols" too. But in Tatssun's case, the matter is a bit different. He apparently broke a NDA by sharing a demo song with that girl (I believe it was for Free!), so it's not really about the cheating, he would have probably gotten away with it (even though he might still have suffered some minor consquences, because the person he cheated on is not a nobody, it's LiSa) but it was the legal issue that got him into the trouble he is in now.

Even in the USA private life can ruin someones reputation. Heck, just accusing someone of something (even without a proof, if the accuser is well known enough) can cause the person to be dropped from movie roles etc.

Seriously, Cheating should have no bearing on your job whatsoever. I seriously hate when fans or just people in general try to take someone down and get them fired because of something like this that happened in their PERSONAL life, it has nothing to do with their jobs and should be left as a personal matter. Yeah maybe some people may not like them anymore, but stuff happens and we don't know the whole story. If everyone who cheated on someone lost their jobs then the unemployment rate would be SKY high. If he was a criminal and did something that was really bad then I'd understand why people react this way but people unfortunately cheat every day in the world to a probable ridiculous number

This was written by another user in the second topic and I fully agree with it.

He didn't break the law. The fact that he is a absolute zero in private life does not mean that he should loose his job. But this took place in Japan, so life is the same as job there and I'm not surprised (not in terms of workhours but loyalty to company and values).

Yuichiro Umehara is a great VA, but this anime is already remembered with another actor. Even the best VA in the world will not take away feeling of change between seasons, which will lower the score of the entire series in the future, I guess. I suppose the producers make a big mistake, they could punish or condemn him otherwise if they wanted to show disapproval of this type of behavior. I hope I'm wrong and it will be stunningly better, but I assume in 99% that is impossible.
