Casting Manga-Only Promised Neverland Characters
I finally finished reading The Promised Neverland manga and now COMPLETELY understand everyone’s anger with Season 2. There was so much wasted potential for an amazing continuation of the anime, and it’s a real shame that we weren’t able to see so many characters get animated.
So, here’s the real life English voices that I assigned to characters while I was reading (yes, I pretty much cast the characters in my head).
YUGO = Eric Vale
Other prominent roles include Solf J. Kimblee (Fullmetal Alchemist), Tomura Shigaraki (My Hero Academia), Sanji (One Piece), and Yuki Sohma (Fruits Basket)
LUCAS = Grant George
Other prominent roles include Lancer (Fate/Zero) and Ryo Shimazaki (Mob Psycho 100)
OLIVER = Erik Kimerer
Other prominent roles include Teruki Hanazawa (Mob Psycho 100), Alibaba Saluja (Magi), and Ryuji Takasu (Toradora)
VIOLET = Maxey Whitehead
Other prominent roles include Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) and Crona (Soul Eater).
ZACK = Zeno Robinson
Other prominent roles include Hawks (My Hero Academia), Cyborg (Young Justice), and Toru Ishikawa (Horimiya).
PEPE = Gabe Kunda
Other prominent roles include Rock Lock (My Hero Academia) and Shin Yasuda (Horimiya)
SANDY = Todd Haberkorn
Other prominent roles include Natsu Dragneel (Fairy Tail), Ling Yao (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), Death the Kid (Soul Eater), and Hikaru Hitachiin (Ouran Highschool Host Club)
GILLIAN = Mela Lee
Other prominent roles include Rin Tohsaka (Fate stay/night: UBW) and Erika Karisawa (Durarara!!)
NIGEL = Max Mittleman
Other prominent roles include Ritsu Kageyama (Mob Pyshco 100), Kousei Arima (Your Lie in April), and Ryuji Sakamoto (Persona 5)
PAULA = Elizabeth Maxwell
Other prominent roles include Ymir (Attack on Titan), Arisa Uotani (Fruits Basket 2019), and Midnight (My Hero Academia)
SONYA = Erica Lindbeck
Other prominent roles include Kaori Miyazono (Your Lie in April), Naruko Anjo (Anohana), and Heris Ardebit (Promare).
HAYATO = Aleks Lee
Other prominent roles include Zenitsu Agatsuma (Demon Slayer) and Kazuya Kinoshita (Rent-a-Girlfriend)
QUEEN LAGRAVALIMA = Colleen Clinkenbeard
Other prominent roles include Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist), Erza Scarlet (Fairy Tail), and Akito Sohma (Fruits Basket 2019)
EXTRA CASTING
I don’t know if the anime would have switched voice actors for Emma, Ray and Norman when they got older and went through puberty. Still after the timeskip after Goldy Pond, I imagined all of them with older voices, so here:
EMMA = Caitlin Glass (OR keep Erica Mendez)
Glass’s other roles include Winry Rockbell (Fullmetal Alchemist), Mina Ashido (My Hero Academia), and Petra Ral (Attack on Titan)
RAY = Clifford Chapin
Other roles include Katsuki Bakugo (My Hero Academia), Connie Springer (Attack on Titan) and Akiteru Tsukishima (Haikyu!!)
NORMAN = Josh Grelle
Other roles include Armin Arlert (Attack on Titan), Yuri Katsuki (Yuri on Ice), and Zen Wisteria (Snow White with the Red Hair)
