I watched the trailer before and I didn't realize that Akira Ishida voices the turtle at the end until reading this. I'm speechless.

He's done an old man voice before. As well as a granny voice.


The man's just that talented.

This anime looks like it'll be about a few minutes long each episode, but it should be fun.
