Again? Isn't this like 3 voices in one year or something?

I was just thinking when watching the latest movie "I am glad the voice actor is still around" too.

Yeah I heard about it earlier and announced it on IRC
It's really a shame

RIP

You forgot Koji Yada. He voiced Jii-chan in the Magic Kaito specials.

After all this series has its own years too...

RIP .

It will be interesting however to see what'll happen to the voices of other characters. They have to be replaced someday, otherwise characters like Ran will sound like middle-aged women someday. I wish DC wouldn't be an eternal series.

When do VA's start sounding middle aged? I mean afaik all the VA's in Conan are 40+

Conan is currently voiced by a 50 year old woman.

And Kappei is 49, and here he is still voicing teenagers

Most of the main cast VAs are in their 40s or early 50s at most. Only Kenichi Ogata, Agasa's seiyû, is getting quite old since he's 72.

Well, that sucks. That's what happens when you have a series going for 20 years.
