In the same vein as The Hunger Games and Battle Royale, The Future Diary is a story about (mostly) young people who are caught up in a game where they must fight to the death to be granted the right to live. Originally released in Japan in 2011-2012, Funimation obtained the rights to stream the show, and also grabbed the home video distribution rights a short while after. Now, the company is moving to release the English dub cast of the series.
The cast list is as follows:
Yuki - Josh Grelle
Yuno - Brina Palencia
Deus Ex Machina - Kent Williams
Murmur - Leah Clark
Minene Uryuu/9th - Emily Neves
Aru Akise - Todd Haberkorn
Takao Hiyama/3rd - Jason Douglas
Keigo Kurusu/4th - Robert McCollum
Tsubaki Kasugano/6th - Kate Bristol
Yomotsu Hirasaka/12th - Ian Sinclair
Reisuki Houjo/5th - Lindsay Seidel
Karyuudo Tsukishima/10th - Mark Stoddard
Marco Ikusaba/7th - Brad Hawkins
Ai Mikami/7th - Jamie Marchi
Kamado Ueshita/8th - Monica Rial
John Balks/11th - Christopher Smith
Masumi Nishijima - J. Michael Tatum
Ouji Kosaka - Joel McDonald
Hinata Hino - Caitlin Glass
Mao Nonosaka - Ashleigh Domangue
Orin Miyashiro - Jad Saxton
Probably the role that is most anticipated to know the casting of is Yuno, who quickly became a fan favorite. While Brina Palencia (Romeo x Juliet, Steins;Gate) is a seasoned voice actress, she doesn’t generally have the moe-styled voice that fits the style of the character. Josh Grelle (Baka and Test) seems like a perfect fit for Yuki, having a nice older teen voice, and Emily Neves (Angel Beats!) has a voice that matches the insanity and the power the Minene has.
Another positive for the show is that the adapted script was led by J. Michael Tatum (Deadman Wonderland), a seasoned writer as well as actor.
The Future Diary centers on Yuki, a high schooler who discovers that his phone can now predict his future. However, he is forced into a game, created by an entity known as Deus Ex Machina, who has recruited eleven other members to have similar diaries that have their own specific attributes. The rules of the game are simple: a winner is crowned when eleven of the twelve players are dead. The winner of Deus’s game will take his place as God of their world.
Part one (episodes 1-13) of The Future Diary is set to be released on August 13, while part two (14-26) has yet to be stated.
