| happy to finally have some news about that movie but ugh i'm sad 😭 i found mononoke because i love sakurais voice, it's a perfect fit kamiya hiroshi seems to do a great job tho |
| What a shame, his voice was so iconic and perfect for the role. I have no doubt kamiya hiroshi will be able to fit the character just fine but dang, it's kind of disappointing. |

| was his voice so important 😭 i didnt notice, im not really into seiyuu stuff anyway |

Yeahhhh, Kamiya's voice is slightly different, but still surprisingly similar to Sakurai's performance, so I think it will be fine. |

But it sounds kindaaaa close to the medicine sellers original voice.... |

| I'm super hyped about one of the best anime ever getting a movie, but I'm also a little sad that they changed the actor... |

iloathesasuke said: I love Mononoke and I'm sad they replaced Sakurai honestly, it's a little twisted for hiroshi to accept a job taken away from his fellow seiyuu under bs reasons, i think his popularity allows him enough space to refuse this kind of an offer, he doesnt need a stepping stone. i dont know, maybe its because i adore mononoke so much that i cant accept any fundamental changes or i was expecting some other younger no name va with similar vibes, but the hiroshi thing has been bugging me since yesterday. well lets see how he will act with his clear-cut commanding type voice for a role defined as a mysterious lone wolf/fox. A few months ago, an article mentioned that most seiyuus didn't want to be his successor in any role; they themselves were generally reluctant to take Sakurai's place. they don't want to face Sakurai's fans and don't want to be in a place where people will compare them to his performance. Anyway, What I've read on Twitter from the reactions of Sakurai's Japanese fans about Mononoke. Of course, they are sad, but some are grateful that Kamiya accepted the role because he is a veteran seiyuu from Sakurai's generation and has a good relationship with Sakurai. Sakurai always praises Kamiya. When they announced the VA of Jinshi / Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, the VA is from the new generation; the fans were really upset (Sakurai was the VA of Jinshi in the drama CD), and they replaced him in the coming anime. |
| I was wondering who'd they cast as the Medicine Seller now that the old VA isn't doing it anymore (regardless of if that was his own decision or an understandable decision made by the team behind this movie, which I would applaud them for) and I am completely here for Hiroshi Kamiya as the replacement. Makes sense. His voice isn't as deep, but I think it still suits the character and it just clicks for me. Also, glad to see a trailer that isn't reusing footage from the anime. The art style looks more fluid and clean, but still captures the spirit of what "Mononoke" is visually. Overall, I'm looking forward to this movie a lot more now. Hopefully it gets a release in theaters. (GKIDS, I'm counting on you!) |
 |
| I can’t believe I was unaware that the trailer released. It looks amazing and I have high hopes. |
 |
| I'm so happy to know that the anime is really coming, I was thinking that it would be like 'Yuri On Ice Adolescence', a big "urban legend". Now I'm just hoping that Kamiya's voice doesn't look so strange on the main character. |
 |
| It's Kinda funny how they picked Hiroshi Kamiya (Araragi Koyomi) over Takahiro Sakurai (Oshino Meme) as the new role for Kusuriuri. Since both Mononoke & Bakemonogatari have similar structures and themes. Im loving the new character designs too. Im so hyped for this since Kenji Nakamura will still be the director for this movie. Im abit sad for the voice change but im happy that we got Hiroshi Kamiya. |

| @i-loathe-sasuke well it's just like what jamobo said above makes no sense to have someone who mistreats women voice this kind of role. |
| New trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYJ1mx7601E Release date in theaters in Japan : July 26 |
| The preview took place yesterday. A few leaks of the contents have been circulating. |

| @Usapz It wasn't It's just different now - which of course means the Movie is already ruined, in the eyes of the elitists |
 |
| Technically a different voice can also make sense canonically, since they revealed that this is a different Kusuriuri compared to the old series. |
