*The video above is a very old video demo. I hope it may give ideas about the series. I will release a new and better trailer once all the voice actors have been sorted out as well as my schedule and editing platforms*
DIRECTOR'S NOTE:
Hello! Welcome to Hakai To Saisei S1 Casting call! It's me, Blue! The director of the series. I have been planning on releasing this series for a year now. Sadly, I came to a very difficult phase and I wasn't able to publish it sooner. However, now is the time I'll finally release it! I hope that my current status won't be a hindrance for us to work together! I'll admit that I'm not famous nor quite known. But I guess we can work on that as the series goes by right? I also hope to improve, learn and collaborate with amazing, talented people through out this journey of my series! So I really hope that we get to know and grow better all together. That's all for now, I hope to work with you :)!
TRIGGER WARNING:
The series may contain gore, acts of extreme violence, mental health issues and present, real life problems. The suitable audiences that are allowed to view or watch the series are in the ages 13 and above. Children below the given age will be needing a guardian or parental guidance.
INTRODUCTION:
Hakai To Saisei (In kanji, 破壊と再生 ) means Destruction and Rebirth in English. This series is inspired by various of animes like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan, My Hero Academia, Tokyo Ghoul, Seven Deadly Sins, Tokyo Ghoul, Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun and so much more. This series follows the genre of sci-fi, fantasy, adventure, friendship, Action, Drama, Comedy and Mystery. The timespan is mainly in year 2050, a.k.a known as Generation 50 in the series. Some countries in the real world might be applied. However, they will differ in many ways. There might be real mythological scenes and content in the series based from different parts of the world. I can assure you that I did and will be doing more thorough research regarding to proper facts if ever.
DEADLINES:
I usually give deadlines on Fridays or weekends. And I will be reminding you that I would be quite strict towards this.
WHAT IM AFTER/LOOKING FOR:
As of the moment, We are casting Voice Actors, Artists, Music Producers and etc. who can stand along the series from its beginning to end. And for the Voice Actors good audio is a must too. Here are some rules that needs to be followed when joining my series.:
1. Follow the Deadlines given. I can make exceptions if your reason of late submission is valid. I am also a busy bee at times so It would be a huge help if you can submit your needed requirements in the given deadline.
2. Strictly no NSFW! The series may contain violence and gore. But for the sake of young viewers, sexual content won't be present in my series.
3. No Spoiling! I would love to give suspense to the viewers and I highly request to avoid spilling details and information outside of the series proper. Like in Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and more social media platforms.
4. No swearing. Just a reminder that there might be swear words in the series. And I want you to be aware of that. However, I will not tolerate swearing towards co-workers, staff, team members and anyone in or outside the series. Keep the swearing just in the script. But not towards the members.
5. Respect. I do not need to elaborate this. But, respect one another. Not just in the series team but outside as well. No matter what your status or rank would be. That would be all useless if you do not know how to respect another individual. That it includes no hate speech and etc.
6. Have fun! I know there might be quite a number of rules. But it needs to be here for a friendly workspace for us. But we can still have fun collaborating and working along with other people.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
I do not have funds in the start of the series. But once I am earning, I can assure you that I might be able to provide billings towards cast or team members. And not only that, but we are only a small group and I'm not that known just like what I said. So, I hope you would understand. But in the mere future, I'm sure our handwork will pay off.
Our main communication means will be through Discord. However, if you cannot reach me towards this application, you may reach me through my email, twitter and Instagram. But have to admit that I'm mostly active in discord and as well as my team members. So as much as possible, I would advise discord more. But don't make this a hindrance for your audition. You can reach me through the media's I've given. Any concerns and requires will be attended as soon as I can.
BONUS:
This casting call will have more characters in the future. As of the moment, I only intend to casting the lead and supporting roles. So stay tuned for more characters. I can confirm that there will be characters that some or you might find difficult to portray. And I will say it once again, we will be needing voice actors, artists and etc. to STAY inside the series from its start up to its ending. These following bonus reminders will help for us to produce a good show.
Q n A:
Q: WHEN WILL I REVIEW THE AUDITIONS?
A: I will be reviewing the auditions as soon as you have submitted your audition. However, I will review them all over again once the deadline is up. So expect that I will be contacting the passed auditions a few days or a week after the deadline.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS IF I DIDN'T PASS?
A: It doesn't matter if you didn't pass this first casting call. I will still have more casting calls for the series. If you didn't pass, you can still be in the series! In case we need more people for a certain job. Or, you can just simply join our discord server for cast members! Honestly, all I'm saying is even if you didn't pass for the roles here, there are more characters to come and more roles to come in the future!
Here is the discord server link in case you want to interact with others! Or well... for more stuff! https://discord.gg/C95qyDZDHR
Aikko Tekashi is the main protagonist of the series and I need a voice actor that will be stable through out the series! She's a bundle of joy, hope and wholesomeness. However, she has a broken side that she doesn't want anyone to see and she hopes she can foreshadow that side with her happiness. She's that one character who seems to be very carefree and filled with no worries. But we will see how much character development she will have through out. Aikko is probably one of the hardest characters to portray in the series since she has that, full-loaded emotions and feelings.
(asking a friend, quite annoyed)
"Euphoria, let me ask you this… how many people on this rooftop have powers? Half I’m sure! And what if they have the capability to save people? But they still don’t! I’m saying that if there’s something I can do to help that lady, I will help! (Pause, becomes a sad tone) I know how it feels to be in her place…"
(Introduction in school style, happy and enthusiastic)
"Hello Everyone! Nice to meet you all! My name is Aikko Tekashi and I am from Hiroshima!"
(Emotional, Crying, guilty and sad)
" I tried...(Gulps) I really, REALLY tried to save them. At that moment, I couldn't care less if I survived or not. But, no... they all died but me! (Pause) They died because... I wasn't able to do anything. I was weak, frail and most importantly, scared! That's why I don't want to feel scared anymore! I don't want to feel those kind of things again. You'll be powerless.
Ishida Venomite is a sadistic and a powerful character. He has been a member of the most high class demons for ages and his life is nothing else but for serving demon kind. I'm just gonna say that he is very manipulative and provoking. But kind of an idiot too with his friends or who he considers family. Ishida is probably one of the most powerful characters in s1 and we will get to see more from him in season 2!
(Calming, provoking yet threatening)
"Now, now doctor... If you know what's best for you and your family, you better start working on it. (Lowers voice) I'm getting quite impatient."
(explaining his power, provoking and quite boastful. And this is in the midst of battle by the way)
"My powers are quite interesting you know? I have the ability to deform, torture and manipulate a living being in my will. Other than that, I was the first person to inherit the ability to manipulate lightning itself. Pretty good... don't you think?"
(Honoring and In service, quite scared. At this line, he is worshiping the demon king)
"M-master Yasashiku! It's an honor to be in your presence once more! (Feels quite joyful) Have I... done well with my task Your excellency? "
Kousuke Haragouki is the cold, calming and serious type of person. But other than those, I make sure he is still from my original ideas. He's quite sadistic and impatient towards missions and he wants a quick finish in a task he was given. This man doesn't know the word "procrastination" at all. Either you praise him for it, he won't say anything. He's usually a solo player rather than a team player. But with his closest friends, he's fine with them. And just like Aikko, he's probably one of the most difficult characters to portray due to his character built. And I'm telling you, this guys isn't the person you wanna piss off...
(Irritated, in a low voice but still calming)
"Ah geez, my father needs me, again. I'll catch up with you guys later."
(Annoyed, but still calm yet giving a cold tone in his voice.)
"As for you, watch what you’re saying. As you can see, we're working here; It will cost you a lot of trouble if you don't keep that mouth of yours shut. I'll appreciate it very much if you run along"
(Angry)
"YOU ABADONED ME!.. BLAMED ME! TORTURED ME MENTALY! (becomes quite calmer) you treated me like a forsaken monster. And now, you want me to treat you like family? (raising his voice again) When in the first place you NEVER DID THE SAME THING FOR ME!"
Oh boy where do I even start... Kazaki Ruto is probably the hottest headed character in the series. Him and Alan would start a world war 2 if they can. However, Kazaki can be a calming boy sometimes. His rare warm voice usually makes people around him mesmerized about him. Kazaki may be a hot head and quite of a selfish boy, but he's really good in listening to people. He usually compares everyone to himself since he also experienced getting compared to. And well, this affected him as he grows up. Don't worry, he will have a huge character development. But for now, let's stick to the short tempered and "easily to be pissed off" Kazaki.
(Highly annoyed and angry) *Shouting*
"STOP TALKING! YOUR VOICE MAKES MY EARS BLEED!"
(Grabs Aikko by the wrist and threatens her) *whispers*
"If you ever try to get in my way or get above me, I’ll kill you."
(He is normally talking here with his warm, calm voice.) "If you want to have bigger attack ranges, I suggest you exercise your arms and hands. Your muscles within those regions can help you attack greater and less painful."
Alan Katsuragi is one of the leading characters in the series since he will be in the main class of the series. His original creator isn't active anymore and I tried contacting them for like... several times about Alan but none. So I have to take matters to myself and he is quite a good character so we needed to keep him. Anyways, Alan has street smart in a good way and he is quite short, hot tempered too. But he is often described as the comedic person in the group. His natural voice is calm and low.
(Feeling heroic and comedic)
"NOBODY MOVE! WE ARE HERE WE SHALL SAVE THE DA- (Note: He was supposed to say DAY, but he gets pushed off by someone. Which results him to cutting off that line and falling)"
(Quite angry but serious)
"Humankind is pathetic. I got to admit that us humans are quite arrogant and selfish bastards. But there's this thing- that I cannot just leave it behind to fall apart."
(He's running in this phase, and he is shouting out loud and is quite sarcastic and mad)
"HEY!- THANKS A LOT!"
Kimi Jiryu is one of the leading characters of the series. His lines in the first episodes is just few, but he will be playing one of the major roles in the series. Kimi is a very soft and kind hearted boy. However, he is quite a very scared and naïve boy. He gets too freaked out and scared easily resulting him to cry so hard. He thinks he is weak and useless. However, he has a great power within him, waiting to be unleashed one day.
(Sad and disappointed)
"People only sees me as a weak, frail and a scared little boy. They expect so much of me. Especially that my brother is an amazing pro hero. I'm nobody to their eyes. But I want to change that!"
(Freaking out/Panicking)
"AHHHHHHHH!!! I-It's... ah-a- DEMONNNNNN!!!!!"
(Happy and cheerful)
"We are all gonna make it to the finals! I know we will! We can do this!!"
Toru Yakitsuno or known as his hero name "Infinite" Is a middle aged man and the current teacher of Aikko Tekashi, He passed on his power called "Overall" to AIkko in order for her to fulfill her dream in becoming a Hero and entering Legion Academy. Which makes him the predecessor of Overall. Infinite is that local and common tired guy from work. And he has a frail body to begin with. However, despite his flaws or what society might say towards him... he still hopes a little bit that he will be able to live normally once again.
(In a certain place where there is trouble, this is him after saving folks) *Happy, Proud and Brave*
"I've never thought that I still had my heroic abilities after all these years! This is incredibly wonderful!"
(Tired, sad and Quite annoyed)
"I'm sorry kid. I'm just trying to protect you. I'm not the hero the world thought I was once. Now, people see me as a failure. And when society speaks, there's nothing you can do about it. Again, I don't want anyone to suffer like I did. I'll say it again. You can't Be a hero."
(Just a normal conversation tone)
"Overall is quite complicated the more you use it. It seems easy at first. Like... just punch there, kick here and flick this and that. But there's more to it than you know, Young Tekashi."
Opalescent is a 16 year old teenage demon. She was turned into a demon just a year ago. She's quite idiotic, always hungry, mean and somehow very caring towards her friends. She's sarcastic, upbeat, protective and independent when she's energetic. However, when she doesn't have much of energy there are other traits she has the same as she is when she's energized. But she would always be hungry and quite more idiotic.
(Feeling tired, hungry and grumpy)
"Ugh, those pesky hero wannabes are kill joys! Thanks to them, I'm all drained out! And my gut is starting to come at me. (Becomes more a serious tone) Our plan better work... Ishida."
(Unsure, curious and quite sassy)
"Does it speak human? Can it understand me? Or do I need to speak in a code-like language or something?"
(Kind of pissed off)
"Alright then brat, It seems like you don't know how to pay respect to demons anymore huh? (Happy with a hint of sadistic tone) No worries! I'll do my best to make sure you remember and teach you good manners. Got that?"
Alec Moon is a supporting antagonist of the series and has been a villain for a while now. He is short tempered, Non caring and sadistic. However, he can be chill sometimes as well.
(Genuine)
"We all have secrets , some are just harder to find out"
(Furious)
"I do not care about that stupid Hero-In-Training"
(nonchalant)
"I ran away when I was young, never looked back since then"
Project 587 or also called "Genesis" is an artificial intelligence and a part of demon technology. He was created to detect a specific aura from the essence given him. Aside from detecting, his destiny follows to helping Kill that person who hold the aura of the essence he detected. Even if he wants to get away from it, he can't. Genesis is usually seen as an emotionless and steadfast character. But as the series goes, he starts to feel quite different. which enables him to feel how humans or any life form with flesh and bones within. Which sadly, caused his downfall.
(Serious but he talks in a normal tone. Since well... he's a robot )
"I am programmed to do different kinds of activities Boss. Perhaps you would want to be more specific."
(Curious)
"Why did she save me? Didn't she know that I'm working for Master Ishida? Why would she save something that's bound to killing her? (Becomes sad) Someone like... me?
(Quite happy, grateful)
"The human life form is truly astonishing and peculiar. Aside from their misfortunes and sins, they still have this tender and warm heart within them. I want to be like them someday. (Sad yet hopeful) I want to experience having flesh and a real heart that beats. A real soul and spirit. I want to feel things better. I want to understand the world. For now, I shall leave this earth with no regrets of being killed."
Shouji Haragouki (or Cyclone in his hero name) is the father of Kousuke Haragouki. Shouji is a manipulative, toxic and arrogant man. As well as a father. Shouji is distant towards his children and he refuses to make up for his bad actions in the past. He believes that through his actions, his children will learn something better and become stronger. But other than that, he still deeply loves his family but he doesn't know how to show it well. His anger towards other strong heroes and to himself results to him hurting the people around him. But sooner or later, I''ll make sure he will have quite the character development.
(Firm, quite angry)
"Keito, I won't ask twice... why did you disobey my orders?"
(Normal tone)
"Stations X and Y have been recently down due to the attack in Shibuya. Perhaps we can apply more guards to that exact place replacing those stations."
(Selfish and happy)
"Kousuke Haragouki, my brilliant son! You have awakened your true power! Soon you will surpass everyone else here in this country! Maybe even the world! Well done!!""
Hana Tekashi (or in Russian, Hounah Eleonora Mandeleov Tekashi) is the mother of Aikko Tekashi. Hana is 1/4 Japanese and the rest of her ethnicity is Russian. I would have made her have Russian accent but since she moved to japan in the age of 13, her accent might have changed through the years. Other than that, Hana is a very loving, thoughtful and selfless mother. I consider her as one of the most mentally strongest characters in the series. And not only mentally but she's pretty darn powerful when it comes to her powers. She makes sure that Aikko will have a good life in the future despite all the things they both have gone through together.
(Worried)
" Oh no! That's Aikko's school isn't it? They're in trouble! Oh no no no... I hope she's okay!"
(Happy and crying of joy?)
"Congratualtions Aikko!! Oh my goodness! I'm so proud of you! I knew you were able to pass that entrance exam! Even if you're covered with wounds after that day!"
(Sad and crying, but comforting)
"No no no, Aikko... Don't be sorry sweetheart. It's nobody's fault. Don't blame yourself okay? (Sniffs) Don't worry, mommy will make sure you will have a good future. Okay? Please don't cry."
Ivy (Hanaka as her former human name) is a 300 year old demon. She was turned into a human back when she was 24. For a demon that's working along with the villains, she's very sensitive and very kind hearted. However she is shy and scared of what people may think of her looks. She would attack somebody if under orders from a higher rank demon, (and if her life was on the line.). Ivy has a soft spot for young children, they just began growing up. It would be a waste for their lives to end so early. In the battle field, every demon uses her as a meat shield or a decoy. So she’s basically teaming up with Opalescent to fight off heroes.( if a battle is in a open spot with young ones, She’ll hurry them off and protect them from the chaos). And she's a neutral demon.
(Adoring)
" Wow! Can you see it my dear scaled friend? Can you see those amazing and hardworking students? All of them, working hard to save the day! It's truly heroic!"
(Sad)
"Do we... really have to attack them?"
(Awkward and quite embarrassed)
"O-Oh! hehe! Sorry, I didn't knew about that!"
Tenko Sentry is a 26 year old villain. She was a college drop out since she wants to pursue her dream to become a villain. She is very arrogant, impulsive, selfish and incredibly smart. She actually wanted to be a hero first, but sadly she wasn't able to be one. For people kept telling her that her powers are monstrous and bad.
(Smug, teasing and in mockery)
"You kids consider yourselves as heroes? Heck, you can't even beat a low class villain! How will you be able to beat someone... a high class villain like ME?"
(Serious)
"I suggest that we should attack by nightfall. After all, demons like you guys are a lot more powerful by the evening. This will also help us to buy ourselves some time to think of a plan."
(Angry)
"(Chuckles) You arrogant brats! You can't stay still for at least a second can you?!"
Mr. Griezmann (or known as Maxwell Griezmann) is a scientist and a special grade inventor in ESI (Erraniean Specialists Institute). He is a minor character who will be working under Ishida. He is self-absorbed, weak, naïve and easy to manipulate.
(Shocked and quite frightened)
"Wait… THE Lucifer Era? The eldest son of the Demon King and the heir to the demon imperial throne?! He… owned that?!"
(normal explaining)
"I’m sorry Mr. Ishida, But Project 587 isn’t ready for pilot testing. Nor it’s finished"
(Calm and tired)
"Now that's over... I'm gonna go grab lunch"
Liku is a 300 year old shadow demon. He doesn't have much of a background story. But all I can say is he is very immature, or like quite childish. He's quite sadistic and easily jealous by what others have. He couldn't care less having blood stains on his hands. I suggest that you shouldn't play around with him if ever...
(Mocking and boastful)
"HA! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN MAKE ME OBEY YOU? DO YOU HONESTLY THINK I'M AFRAID OF YOU?"
(Surprised)
"How can a human have such power like that?"
(Feeling happy and cocky)
"(Evil laugh?) I won't be able to be defeated that easily you punk!"
Selena is the older sister of Liku. They were both turned into demons at the same time. Unlike Liku, she's more intelligent and the leader/mother figure of their group. However, she's more scarier and sadistic than the rest. She wants things to get done quickly.
(Boastful)
"How do you like my powers hm? With this you won't be able to escape!"
(Angry)
"HEY! YOU IDIOTS, DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!"
(Begging for mercy, trembling)
"Please! M-master! Give us another chance! We can do b-better next time! We beg of you!"
Akuma is the twin brother of Selena. He is younger than her for a few minutes. He is jerkish and cocky. He loves playing tricks on people... let's just say he's quite the mischievous fellow. However, he thinks more rational than both his siblings. He knows his limit and what needs to be done. So far, he's my favorite Shadow Sibling. His voice needs to be pretty low to match his characteristics.
(Creepy, greedy and happy? maybe like jerkish)
"OOOOO! Got a good one aye? Ishida would love her soul for sure. It's human, smart and most importantly, Good!!"
(Angry and acting quite childish)
"HEY! I was the one who froze the train! I want a part of it!"
(Serious)
"Those kids aren't that weak. That's a good thing... Selena and Liku will have quite the hard time dealing with them. I don't want to butt in with them anymore. I might as well just go solo..."
I'm looking for anime like or Gacha background makers! I'll be selecting multiple from this category by contacting you guys or joining the server! For auditions, please apply a link of your examples here!

The series will be mostly composed of orchestral and modern theme songs with NO lyrics. But orchestral music will be mostly needed. But modern would be pretty epic too! Yes! EPIC! And if you are just starting off, then that's okay! We can learn together! Please submit a link of your work/examples here! I'll be choosing multiple too!
