Haruko HaruHara
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Eccentric, booming with energy most times. Think of her as a female PurpleEyes character. Violence and various substances are her go to. Makes friends with Miyu Miyu (The Nandaba family cat) and has intimate convos with him that only they understand. Also helps around the Nandaba house and makes it even more Hellish. (Note: she’ll be around for all 3 seasons)


Voice Type:

MId-high. A bit on the nasally side if possible. She’s also a character who will be saying some absurd and crude stuff so if that’s not in your comfort zone, beware. (Original VA- Kari Wahlgren or Maiyumu Shintai for reference of what I’m trying to look for.)

  • (Calm. Conversationalist)  So then I cracked the bass over his head and for some reason he got real pissy. So I tried his dad. And well, he just seemed knocked the fuck out. You know? It’s great to have a good listener.

  • (Angry / Annoyed. Disgruntled Motorist) GET OUT OF THE WAY, JACKASS!

  • (Very Casual. Almost Passive. Then quickly excited) Oh. Sorry. Did I miss the robot? Here!

Mamimi Samejima
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: MsMeisterVA

Pistol personality. While not as energetic or manic as Haruko, Mamimi has some quirks to her. She loves teasing Naota (or Takkun as she calls him and other things) and almost has an easy-going nature and takes in everything in the story in her own way. Prone to anger and at times violence.

Voice Type:

Medium to Medium High. Needs Bostonian or Jersey girl type of a voice. She has some minimal and flirtatious dialogue in the first episode. So actor discretion is advised. (Voice Reference: Jersey Shore or Keiko from Panic at the Hakusho [NaomifiedVA])

  • (Recalling a story from times before) So then he says to me, “Aren’t you a little young to buying them smokes, young lady?” So I asked him, “Aren’t you a little old to be having so many of those teeth, old man?”

  • (Flirt / A Little Teasy. Maybe Add A Sing-Songy Tone to this one) It’s like they say. You gotta buy me a meal first~.

  • Line 3: (Awkwardly About to drop some news a person might not like) You remember how we’ve been doing stuff while cutting class?

Canti

Unpaid
cast offsite

When blue, he’s a very calm and often childlike. When red, he’s childlike but with the mentality and combat nature like the of Optimus Prime. The robotic being the sprouts from Naota’s head, Canti is the assistant robot and robot Naota pilots(?) Throughout FLCL to fight off any other threats.


Voice Type:

[This one will require some range] When blue, he’s usually calm, soft-spoken and sensible but very immature and childlike about the world around him think medium range. When red, he’s still immature and often childlike (not very smart) but has ridiculous battle tactics and can really put the baddies away. Something lower. (Give your best take on blue. But for a voice reference on Red Canti, think Peter Cullen or Garry Chalk’s takes on Optimus Prime)

  • (Red. Aggressive and protective)  Don’t talk to me or my dad ever again!

  • (Blue. A bit giddy and punny) Oh my stars and garters. Seems there was a bit of a red alert there. Get it? Because I turned- Heheh

  • (Red /Blue. Do this one in both voices. Narration followed by concern) I’m just your typical robot born out of the head of my daddy. Like all other robots right? Guys??

Eri Ninamori

Unpaid
Role assigned to: homicidalteddybear

Little Miss 1% herself. A bit of a minor but important character that shows up often throughout (and even gets her own episode. Lucky her!) Ninamori is a bit on the self-centered side and is quite snobby when times call for it. And has a sharp tongue. Growing up as the mayor’s daughter doesn’t help that. Her dad couldn’t even get her to a private school so she buddies up with Naota eventually forming a crush of sorts.


Voice Type:

Medium-High to High. She can use a little bit of snobbishness in some of her lines. And she is known to be quite smug when occasions arise.

  •  (Curious / Teasing) So… What’s with the bandage? You pop off at the 5th graders again?

  • (Snobby / Offended) Ugh! Why do all the men in my life always act like they have something to hide?

  • (A sick burn) You don’t even have a mom! What other women in your life are there?!

Gaku Manabe (AKA Jamison)
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Bombastic, clueless, cringy and just a bit annoying. A transfer student from London assigned to Naota and his group of friends to look after by their teacher for extra credit. He’s mainly tolerated out of pitty and doesn’t seem to be to well aware of his lack of decorum and inability to read a room.


Voice Type:

Medium to Medium Low. British accent necessary. For this character, I wanted him to be based around a few pieces of media I enjoyed. To get an idea of how he’s supposed to talk, think John Boyega in Attack The Block, Taron Egerton in Kingsman: The Secret Service, or this video of a London U student being bothered by a swan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn3NqJs5g_E)

  • (Ninamori Delivered a Sick Diss And Gaku Makes An Ass Of Himself) OH SHIT! NINAMORI DROPPIN’ DAT DEADASS DEAD MOM BURN!

  • (Slightly offended) Aye, dickhead. Don’t be deadnamin’ me. Out here in the land of the rising sun, I go by Gaku.

  • (Explaining while still being Gaku about Haruko) Goin’ round town. Slappin’ dat bass over dey heads. Gives new meaning to beats.

Masahi Masamune

The chill deadpan snarker of the group. One of the more laxidasical of Naota’s friends, he’s a slacker who spends the most time with Jamison- I mean Gaku. Usually the one looking after him the most, he has a good amount of patience but has a sensitive spot. Can you guess what it is?


Voice Type:

Medium-High. Kinda chill and a touch nasally. Seldom to never yells and is the most chill. Give me your best take.

  •  (After Gaku’s introduced)  Don’t mind Jamison here, Naota. He’s just the new transfer student we gotta look after. Teach says we’ll get extra credit if we do.

  • (Slight threat / Annoyed) You better watch it. Or the vespa woman will take you out next.

  •  (Expository) Some crazy broad on a yellow vespa.

Kamon Nandaba / Dad
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Naota’s estranged southern farmer. He runs the Nandaba bakery which is one of his many business ventures / cover-ups of a low-end drug and narcotics hotel. He basically becomes Haruko’s lackey after they first meet. Safe to say Naota takes more after his mother… In most cases.


Voice Type:

Medium-Low to Low. Gruff-ish Southern accent needed. Think a less grumbly Billy-Bob Thorton from Sling Blade. A bit loud and overly pronounced. Maybe a bit scuzzy.

  • (Shouting to another room/ Instructing) Naota! Make like Nasheed and wash yo ass, son!

  • (Welcoming) Ah. Welcome to the Nandaba Bakery. Where we put the “Dough” in “Fork over the dough for some delicious bread.” How can I help you, young lady?

  •  (Chaos is raining down upon you and you’re shocked)  JESUS LADY! WHAT THE HELL?! AAAAAHHH!!

Shigenkuni Nandaba / Grandpa
closed
Unpaid
cast offsite

Crotchety, forgetful, and quite senile. This former war veteran gone baseball coach has a coarse, tone about him. He cares about both his son and grandson but isn’t that great at that due to past traumas and age catching up with him allot of the time. He’s a small character but will have occasional lines throughout the series.



Voice Type:

Meidum to Medium-Low. Put on your best oldman voice for this and equip it with a Southern accent. Something that says, “Oh yeah. This is definitely Kamon’s dad.” For a reference, I’d say Dan Castellaneta Grandpa Phil from Hey Arnold by way of wouldn’t be a bad choice or even Steve Kramer from the FLCL dub with a southern drawl.

  • (Chaotic. You just heard chaos and are worried. THen you are attacked) Sounds like war in here! Have the Reds come back- OH GOOD CHRIST!

  • (Giving Wisdom?) Naota, my boy. Playin’ baseball is allot like makin’ love to a woman. There’s 4 bases, there’s so many eyes watching you, and if you do well enough, we get ice cream and no one’s sad.

  •  (Angry / Disappointed) Boy! You holdin’ that bat like you got a case of the J. Foxes! GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!
