ADV has just announced their cast for the new Macross TV series dub:
Hikaru Ichijo - Voiced by Vic Mignogna - Hikaru is a happy-go-lucky
teenage stunt flyer who is drawn into Space War 1 by his fateful
visit to South Ataria Island. Hikaru is a seven time winner of the
Best Amateur Stunt Pilot award.
Lynn Minmay – Voiced by Mari Iijima - Minmay is a fairly typical
high school girl who dreams of being a singer. In fact, she lives
with her aunt and uncle because her aunt was more supportive of her
dreams than her parents. She works as a waitress at her aunt and
uncle's restaurant.
Misa Hayase - Voiced by Monica Rial - Misa is a by-the-book officer
who graduated first in her military academy class before receiving
her plum assignment as a senior officer on the bridge of the
Macross. She was born into a family of career military officers, and
her friends often joke that she values duty over romance.
Captain Global - Voiced by John Swasey - Captain Global rose through
the ranks of the United Nations Forces thanks to his exploits during
the Unification Wars. He has helmed ships ranging from a naval
submarine and space destroyer to the flagship of the infant Spacy:
the Macross fortress.
Lynn Kaifun - Voiced by Chris Ayres - Minmay's older, protective
cousin. Kaifun is an expert martial artist who despises the military.
THE COUPLE:
Roy Focker - Voiced by Brett Weaver - Roy first flew as a stunt
pilot in the air circus lead by Hikaru's father and later joined the
United Nations Forces as a fighter pilot. Despite his long absence
during the Unification Wars and the death of Hikaru's father, Hikaru
remains close to Roy and considers him his sempai. After the end of
that war, he involved himself in the VF-X development project (the
predecessor of the VF-1 Valkyrie), and his experience earned him the
command of the VF-1 Skull Squadron aboard the CVS-01 Prometheus.
Claudia LaSalle - Voiced by Christine Auten - Claudia is the second
senior officer on the bridge of the Macross and Misa's best friend.
She is level-headed and calm, well capable of doing her job.
However, unlike Misa, she has a fun-loving side as well, and is
romantically involved with Roy Focker.
THE BRIDGE BUNNIES:
These three girls are the junior members of the Macross' bridge
crew. They are a tight-knit bunch that look up to and admire their
senior officers, although they are not above gossiping about Misa's
love-life, or lack thereof.
Shammy Milliome - Voiced by Hilary Haag - Shammy appears to be the
youngest of the Bridge Bunnies. She is certainly the most excitable.
She has long reddish-brown hair.
Vanessa Laird - Voiced by Nancy Novotny - Somewhat more serious than
the other two, but only by a little bit, Vanessa has medium-length
brown hair and wears glasses. She can exert a stabilizing influence
on the other two when she wants to.
Kim Kabirov - Voiced by Kira Vincent Davis - Kim has short, black
hair. She is less flighty than Shammy, but still a fun-loving girl.
THE ZENTRADI MEN
Britai Kridanik - Voiced by John Gremillion - Imposing even by
Zentradi standards, Britai is in charge of a large task force
searching for Supervision Army survivors. In the process of this
search, he stumbles across the Macross and the Humans who rebuilt it.
Exedol Folmo - Voiced by Andy McAvin - Exedol Folmo, a Zem First
Class Official of the Britai Fleet, is the "Archivist," a living
memory bank. His memory capacity is said to surpass any electronic
device that ever existed, as he keeps details of every combat in the
Zentradi history for instant recall. Although very small for a
Zentradi, he is Britai's trusted advisor and right-hand man.
Kamjin Kravshera - Voiced by Illich Guardiola - Officially, the hot-
headed and head-strong Kamjin is the commander of the 7th Aerial
Armored Division of the Gorg Main Fleet's 109th Branch Fleet.
However, he is more infamous among the Zentradi ranks for his
impatient trigger finger and lack of concern for the lives of his
own troops. This has earned Kamjin the nickname "Ally-Killer."
THE ZENTRADI WOMEN
Milia Fallyna - Voiced by Luci Christian - Milia is renowned as a
Zentradi ace even among her male counterparts, and is respected for
her prowess in her powered suit. A beautiful and highly talented
fighter, Milia is also an intelligent and strong-willed woman.
Moruk Laplamiz - Voiced by Tiffany Grant - Kamjin's counterpart,
Moruk is the leader of the female contingent of the Zentradi fleet.
She rules her forces with a firm, but fair hand. She is fearless,
but understands the value of the occasional strategic retreat.
HIKARU'S SQUAD MEMBERS
Maximilian Jenius - Voiced by Chris Patton - Maximilian is simply
without equal in a Valkyrie cockpit. Even without the guidance of a
mentor (as Hikaru had in Roy Focker), he rapidly rises in the ranks
and becomes one of the top aces in the Spacy fleet. His unusually
deep voice is a great asset in his second favorite occupation,
picking up women.
Hayao Kakizaki - Voiced by Jason Douglas - Big, gruff and easygoing,
Hayao is a competent, but not necessarily brilliant pilot.
MINMAY'S FAMILY
Lynn Feichun (Minmay's Aunt) - Voiced by Kelly Manison - With her
husband serving as chief chef, Minmay's aunt runs a Chinese
restaurant on South Ataria Island. After the city is transported
into space with the Macross, they re-open the restaurant on board
the ship to serve both the crew of the ship and the civilian
population stranded on board.
Lynn Shaochin (Minmay's Uncle) - Voiced by George Manley - A gruff
but jovial man, he performs most of the cooking chores at the
restaurant.
Yotchan - Voiced by Tiffany Grant - Minmay's much younger cousin.
His is prone to getting into minor trouble and takes up a great deal
of Minmay's time to watch after him.
THE ZENTRADI SPIES
These three rank and file Zentradi soldiers are "miclonized" and
sent to the Macross as spies. Not entirely suited for their job,
they experience great initial difficulties fitting into their new
environment.
Warera Nantes – Voiced by Mark Laskowski - Warera has the hardest
time of the three fitting in, possibly due to his uninformed
wardrobe choices. He is rather chunky with red hair.
Conda Bromco – Voiced by Xero Reynolds - The tallest of the three
spies, he's the theoretical leader of the group.
Loli Dosel – Voiced by Greg Ayres - The smallest of the three spies,
Loli often seems like he would be lost without the other two.
