All these picks are really great!
I was besides myself with joy over Atsumi Tanezaki voicing Chise, and I'm overjoyed to see that the rest of the cast is great as well!

After looking at that picture, she most certainly is, I mean has.
A titanic actress portraying a character of titanic... proportions. I'm sure this series has a plot and doesn't need such things but it looks more of a "selling point" than even Maoyu had... and those mattered to that series plot. These are just there.
In short, the name is supposed to make me think of the fae Titania and Oberon while the design makes me stop dead at just those first three letters. I'm such a boob...

It's not "supposed to make you think" of Titania and Oberon. That IS Titania. And I'm surprised that they didn't announce Oberon's voice as well, though if I remember that arc correctly, he didn't have much of a speaking role, so maybe that's why.

Considering Ohara voiced Selvaria Bles from Valkyria Chronicles, this is quite...appropriate. XD

Depending on how deep the adaptation goes into the manga, there will be at least one, and possibly two, other fae/goddesses which dress similarly, as well as some other nudity or near-nudity. However, the source mangal always plays it in a "that's just how things are" kind of fashion rather than as fan service.

Had to chuckle. Sayaka playing Titania. And in Fairy Tail she voiced Titania (Erza). So if there is an anime of A Midsummers Night Dream, she should voice Titania in that as well!

The first thing I thought when I read Sayaka Ohara voicing a character named Titania is, of course, Erza Scarlett the Titania ("Queen of Fairy")

Sayaka has been on a roll lately, lots of parts and they've all been great. Ozen in maid in abyss, the narrator in knights and magic, the fantasy version of Meteora in the re:creators recap. Glad to see one of my favorites and a veteran still having a good run of parts. So many seiyuu fall by the wayside as the years go on

I think y'all forgot that she played the one and only Yuko Ichihara in HOLiC, whom also had a weird chest.

I think they choose Ohara-san in part because Erza Scarlett's nickname is Titania. That alone is a reason for me to maybe watch it.
