| Without doubt Noto Mamiko |
| Depends on what this show turns out to be, if its just a one off, they could probably get away with Athena not actually having a speaking part. They could easily show her working, as they have audio for her singing already. |
| Tbh, Athena didn't had that much dialogue but the singing part was amazing and what i'm hoping for is someone who has a great voice and can deliver a nice feel to the character. I'm sure Junichi will choose the right person and i'm looking forward to his choice. |
| As soon as I saw the announcement, this is exactly what I was wondering. |
 |
| Athena is not Utena anymore. ;__; Anyway, I could easily live with Xenograft said: Noto Mamiko as her new seiyuu. She is an optimal choice. My other candidate would be Yukino Satsuki. |
Use your brain before using your keyboard!  |
| Whoever that will be, she'll be facing a huge risk taking up the role... I'll bet on Fukui Yukari just in case. |
| For my money I'd say Yuki Kaji... Lol just kidding. Based on Athena's image, I would say Ayako Kawasumi, based on the voice she did for Nodame. Maybe a little less dopey version of Nodame would work. |
| Rie Tanaka, Aya Endo, and Megumi Hayashibara are my candidates (actually I want to put HanaKana, but she's too mainstream). |
| It doesn't really matter who voices her all that much but rather who does her singing voice (in case for those who don't know, Athena had two voice actresses, one for dialogue and one for singing). Unfortunately Kawai Eri is, to me, irreplacable but it's a good opportunity for the right voice to come along now and replace her if they require someone to fulfil such a role. |

| ANN lists "The late Kawakami Tomoko" as part of the "returning main cast". WTF??!?!? |

And honestly since there won't be anymore Aria after this, I didn't like the idea of a change of VA for Athena, so I think they made the right call here.ANN lists "The late Kawakami Tomoko" as part of the "returning main cast".

 Why is she separated? ;__; Anyways, it'll be two possibilities: 1. They haven't really decided on the VA for her yet, so they're using her name for the mean time, or 2. Athena won't really appear much in the series (most likely) and they'll use spare recordings from past seasons. It's still baffling though. |
