Yeah, I never did post about Phantom casting because I was up until 2AM updating the Wiki that night ^^;;;
Why are people even questioning Ichika's awesomeness at being Carlotta? Ai-chan was younger than her when she played Sophie, and it wasn't perfect but she still rocked. And Carlotta!Ichika x Cholet!Mitsuru? NEW HAPPY PLACE HAS BEEN ADDED TO HAPPINESS BANK.
In other upperclassmen news, I think they traded "Gabrielle" (played by Ayumi-san and Rika Masumi) for "Mercier" (played by Saori-san). Alright then.
But they didn't add any characters from the book. So much for "closer to Leroux's original". I knew it was too much to hope for the Persian :\
Baby-ness! SO EXCITED ABOUT THE PHANTOM DANCERS, ESPECIALLY MINAMI-CHAN ♥ ♥ ♥ IT'S ALL I WANTED FOR HER ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Mirion-chan as Young Erik is great -- I'll admit I would have liked Meg for her more, but I guess baby Erik is actually more memorable. *just has an obvious attachment to Meg*
Oh oh, and, being right about Sergio = Young Carriere is pretty rewarding :D Maa-kun Young Carriere will be SO CUTE. Mitsuru... why is it easier for me to imagine Cholet now XDD;;;
You know what I realized is really ironic about Rantomu Phantomu? It's been five years since Tomu left Hanagumi. Phantom was the first Hanagumi Daigekijou performance after she transferred. Now it's her first show upon her return.
Interesting, no?
