Hey, man, I hope you're doing well throughout this pandemic.

Merry Christmas, buddy!

Happy birthday, Edge/Shishio! Have a good one, and I hope that we could talk to each other more often.

Anything new, my friend?

Sorry for the late response, comrade, but I wanted to say thanks and that you're welcome, though I'm sort of in a hiatus with my Frontier cast.

Moving on… have you heard of Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory? Both are Digimon games released on the PS Vita and the PS4, and I own them.

Hey, no worries, mate; no need to apologise for anything, I was just throwing a suggestion to see what you thought.

But glad to hear that you like the idea!

Okay, going back to Griffin as Takuya, I now understand what you meant by "The clip doesn't do his full performance justice"; if anything, I think you should blame my naivety for that.

With that said, I was able to find this video, and after listening to pre-fusion Akira's voice (0:20–0:39/0:40), I feel like I'm finally convinced that Griffin would make for a decent Takuya.

Again, I apologize for my lack of experience/judgement; it's just that I've got a reasonable amount of schoolwork these days. Hopefully, though, you'll be able to understand what I'm saying.

Pretty interesting choices you got there, pal! I've listened to Griffin's clip for Akira, and I think that sort of voice could fit Takuya and his Spirit forms—especially the latter, if it was tweaked to sound a bit lower and gruffer. However, I'm curious as to how his Nate voice sounds; would you please post a decent link? As for Clifford… I have to say, his Cabba could fit Takuya as well; and for the Spirit forms? I think his Bakugo voice would pretty much seal the deal. Never thought of them before, but again, they seem interesting. Another choice of mine for Takuya, way before deciding to pick Antony, was Jason Griffith, using his Sonic voice.

Speaking of Clifford, though, I've been recently considering him for Keisuke Amasawa/Amazawa, the player character of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker's Memory (long name, I know). My other choice for Keisuke would be Max Mittelman (Kousei Arima/Harry Osborn).

Oh, I do most definitely like your reasoning for all these castings! Another possible pitch for Takuya on my part is Griffin Burns, using his Akira Fudo/Devilman as a basis. The clip doesn't do his full performance justice; not to mention he took over JYB as Nate on Yo-Kai Watch and kept that same youthful energy and warmth throughout. My friend in the past also suggested Clifford Chapin's Cabba as another viable pick.

Thanks, man, I really appreciate your feedback! If you don't mind, allow me to justify these castings.

Antony as Takuya: Based on his performance as Pit, at least IMO, Antony could make for a more natural and youthful version of Michael Reisz's take on Takuya. Besides that, using something along the lines of his Silas voice, I also feel like he'd fit Agnimon/Agunimon, Vritramon/BurningGreymon, Aldamon, and KaiserGreymon/EmperorGreymon.

Cherami as Izumi/Zoe: I honestly feel guilty for this one, considering the fact that a fair amount of the characters she's played are blonde. But… what can I say?

Ben as Junpei/J.P.: His voice clip for Mega Man inspired this casting. In terms of tweaks, I'd probably make it a tad lighter and more boisterous.

Brittney as Tomoki/Tommy: Her performances as Black Star and Selim Bradley (not Pride, mind you) sound boyish enough for this little guy.

Overall, what do you think?
