He said the turmoil over the leak has made no harm to him, rather promoted the TV anime well.

I understand that the chances of Riki having the same voice from the VN are slim to none, and it probably wont bother me, I would just prefer them to all have the same voices.

By saying that, you sound like a sadist.
You clearly have no idea how difficult it is to voice a character in an anime. Voicing one main protagonist for 13 episodes is hard enough, especially when it's not the seiyuu's original voice. What's more, this anime is probably gonna have to last for more than 13 eps to be good. Even so, you want a poor girl to voice two main protagonists and a major side character?
I hardly doubt Visual Arts would actually go that far to please fans however, especially since Riki was only partially voiced. Sasami however will likely keep her voice, that's almost a given.By saying that, you sound like a sadist.

Riki's voice in the VN was really obviously female. I wouldn't be sad to see it tweaked to be slightly more masculine. I won't be bothered either way though, they could improve it or leave it alone, there's not really any way it can be screwed up honestly. Unless they gave him a SUPER masculine voice, but then that would just be hilarious.

It's not a matter of me loving his voice, it's just I would prefer all the characters to have their original seiyuu, if that means someone has to voice three roles so be it.

You really love Riki's voice, huh? I think his voice is too girly and sounds too much like Rin's. Sure, there is a difference, but not as much as the difference between Rin and Sasami's voices. Not only that, but voicing the MAIN character + the MAIN girl + Sasami is a lot of work.

I didn't mention her because as you say they should have the same seiyuu for a fairly obvious reason, interestingly no one has said that would be awkward, even though there would be a fair bit of the seiyuu "talking to herself" depending how they handle Haruka's route, why would it only be awkward if Rin and Riki had the same seiyuu?

Because Rin and Riki have a lot more dialogue combined than Haruka and kanata, let alone the fact they're supposed to be a canon romance. I think I've said this like 5 times without even a counter-argument about why it wouldn't be awkward or overwork.

Assuming they animate EX (which they should, since Saya was in the PV) there are four characters not listed, the MC Riki Naoe, Sasami Sasasegawa, Kanata Futaki, and Saya Tokido.
Riki and Sasami both share the same seiyuu as Rin in the VNs, so it will be interesting to see if she voices all three here as well.

The fact that Saya only appears in EX should be enough confirmation that content from EX will be animated.

I don't think they confirmed the EX routes were covered either besides the glimpse of Saya in the trailer.

This might actually be doubtful, she may only appear pretty much in the context that Risa does in Amagami SS, she may just be in the background for people to screenshot her in various screens and quote "OMG SAYA!!"

Thats because its the same person. She just uses an alias for VN work.

This.I can't believe people can't do some fact checking before nitpicking. Using aliases in the VN industry is common practice, perhaps because many of them are adult games.
