He is also voicing another Demon Lord in currently airing I'm the Villainess, and now I think he should be voicing Anos since S1.

I loved Anos’ original voice more to be honest, I feel like it fit the character better. But I’ll have to see once the anime starts airing.

Suzuki Tatsuhisa was perfect as Anos VA, I don't know the reason behind the VA change (if there is any to know) but it made me honestly disappointed. Not to mention It is nothing like i hate the new VA or something. I'm just having a hard time to accept the fact that--- "I'm watching the same show with the same MC"

Umehara sounds good for the serious scenes, but Suzuki's performance was simply more charismatic, arrogant and iconic, overall more fitting for Anos. We'll have to see how Umehara will do in the actual anime for the slice of life and hype scenes, but I think he'll do a good job even if not on the Suzuki's level.

Really surprising that they didnt cast someone that similar to Tatsu. Because they're on totally different voice range. Honestly I think Furukawa would be a better choice since they can sound quite similar.

When I heard that Umehara was getting casted into Anos I was like "WTF? are you serious?" Ume has a nice voice but his voice fits for the cool and calculating type of characters. There's no cocky-ness and playfulness in his voice, unlike Tatsu which fits Anos personality really well. When I watched the PV, honestly it's really weird to hear Umehara deep voice coming from Anos.

Honestly a shame about what happened because Tatsu brings life to the character, he IS Anos. But what's done is done, we just going have to accept this and move on.

If with Furukawa you refer to Makoto Furukawa, well, he was already casted in the first season of the anime as one of the students from the Hero Academy, so I don't think they would have taken him to replace Suzuki.
Imo, if they wanted to hire someone with a deep, charismatic voice and who sounds similar to Suzuki, Daisuke Ono or Masaaki Mizunaka would have been good replacements.

I'll won't lie, it feels kinda odd on the trailer... I'll take some time to get used to the new VA. I just hope it doesn't affect my enjoyment because I loved the first season. Anos is a great overpowered character.

I'm not sure with how casting works in the seiyuu industry but isn't it better to approach someone that's already involved with the project before? It's not something new that having a single VA voicing multiple characters, maybe it's uncommon if such a minor role also getting a main role, then again, the situation here is quite irregular so there must be a reason for them suddenly casting Ume out of the blue.

I quite agree, I think onoD is has that range that works for Anos as well. Not sure abot Mizunaka though, his voice is pretty similar to onoD deep voice but it doesn't resembles Tatsu at all. Though, why Umehara of all people? I expected him to have a role in the show for a character like Celis for example, not the Anos himself lol

From my experience watching anime, the staff may cast one voice actor for multiple roles in a show when:

A) The characters don't interact much or don't meet each other at all, so the voice actor taking them isn't a problem.

B) The characters are related in some way (family, descendant, reincarnation, counterpart from another world...) and they having the same voice allows the viewer to pick the familiarity between them.

C) As a gag or a situation meant to be humoristic.

In this case, I haven't read the Maou Gakuin light novels, but I heard Furukawa's character returns later in the story, so I'm sure the staff didn't consider him for Anos because it would be awkward if the main character talks with a side character and they have the same voice without any particular reason.

I'm sure the reason why we didn't get news form season 2 until now is because they were busy recasting Anos, so I want to believe that they knew what they were doing when they picked Umehara to replace Suzuki. We'll have to wait for the result, as even Japanese can commit mistakes when they do the casting for an anime, but I'm sure Umehara won't be as bad as people think he's gonna be.

Relevant enough for these 2 people above to comment apparently. Why even left a comment on something you don't care smh. 

That aside, I don't watch Goblin Slayer so the only role I really remember him is from Cautious Hero. Good voice at least, not sure how he's gonna pull the smug bastard tone Tatsuhisa has on Anos.

As someone who is a big fan of Umehara and his voice, I will say that it does make Anos sound more sophisticated than in last season. Tatsuhisa channels a kind of “bad boy” grit in his voice, while Umehara is definitely more on the stern, cool-headed side (ex. Goblin Slayer, Ryuuguuin Seiya, etc.) but that’s based on what I’m hearing from Episode 1 alone.

Both Seiyuus are very talented in the way they portray their characters. But I will say that if we had another alternative besides Umehara, I had just heard Mizunaka Masaaki in his role as Shall Fen Shall from this season’s “Sugar Apple Fairy Tale.” Some say he’s got that low mixture of OnoD and Konishi Katsuyuki, but I definitely hear a great resemblance to Tatsuhisa that would’ve been a great fit for Anos!

Since I immediately watched this after S2, it was pretty jarring to me. Yeah, definitely not the same. It does sound like a demon lord, just not as snarky(that is the appropriate word, right?) as S1 Anos.

It wasn't just because of the cheating. He tried to kill himself by hanging and damaged his throat, so he had to be replaced in the shows that were in production at the time. That without mentioning how he violated his contract by showing the girl he was having the affair with an unreleased CD from Free, which likely alienated many companies from working with him.

Rip. The new voice really makes me not want to watch the show. Dont get me wrong, the new VA does his job well but the he cant deliver the lines as cocky as the og voice whereby Anos feels like a completely different person.

man, you don't just change voices like that when the old actor didn't die, retire or request unreasonable wages.
i would have preferred them to stay with suzuki but alas

>koyasu
nah that's a completely different vibe!

but yeah, if we want to suggest good voices, i'd listen to anos voiced by furukawa makoto. he's got that cheeky vibe to his usual roles, and can also do dead serious voice like as zaganos from altair. but since he already stars in the anime, his side character  (that red haired kanon) would have to be recast
