What. I cannot wait to hear these guys :D

[kamuitheturk.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Thank you for the info, I can't wait for the new season.

[icelilly]

SWEET! I can't wait to hear their voices! :D Now we only need Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Belgium and I think we'll be complete!

[fh14]

We also need Turkey, Seychelles, Germania, The Japanese Feudal Clans, Monaco-cat, Maria Theresa, Old Fritz, etc. also

[icelilly]

Pfft. Can't believe I forgot all those characters. Is my lack of sleep showing yet?

Wait, Michael Sinterniklaas? As in, the guy who played Kappa Mikey? And Leonardo from 2003!TMNT?

Damn, this is gonna be interesting.

[vysnia-cerasus.livejournal.com]

And also the voice of Dean Venture!

Of course, I don't want to typecast him since he's done quite a few roles. But it shall be interesting to hear the type of voice he uses for Netherlands, it's surprising to see him in this cast.
He also voiced Ataru in a very short-lived dubbing of Urusei Yatsura back in the early-mid '90s. Of course that dub tanked and was awful, and he apparently doesn't like to be reminded of that role much ('cause it was an early and not too good one), but all things with the dub considered, he could've done worse!

FFFF I thought of Leo and Mikey too!

[kaiju-z.livejournal.com]

Sounds great :D

Sweet. I want to know who's playing Turkey.

I've heard of Jason Liebrecht because he voiced Alfons in the FMA movie, and Michael Sinterniklaas because he was Mahad in Yu-Gi-Oh *irrelevent*

Can't wait to hear them~! :3

[nupinoop296.livejournal.com]

He was Mahad?! 8D OMGGG

[nupinoop296.livejournal.com]

And now I shall always think of Kappa Mikey and Leonardo when I hear Netherlands. XD

[rosetteroulette.livejournal.com]

Iceland's voiced by Syaoran and Netherlands is voiced by Riven from Winx Club. This is awesome. XD

[pinoycruger.livejournal.com]

Iceland is also the Millennium Earl and Lavi from D.Gray-Man!

[island-of-myst.livejournal.com]

...I could imagine Ice with Lavi's voice ^.^

Micheal Sinterniklaas

It's funny that they've choose a Voice Actor for the netherlands with a dutch surname. ~ Can't wait for it.

Some people say that he's from the Netherlands, but Wikipedia INSISTS that he's from France, so I don't know what to think.

[mochironnai.livejournal.com]

France? With a name like Sinterniklaas? LOLOLOLLF;DSAKFJ;LADS
Apparently, Sinterniklaas means Saint Nicholas in Dutch.
NETHERLANDS IS SANTA CLAUS

I don't know, it's Wikipedia, so you take everything you read with a shakerful of salt.
OH MY GOSH FINLAND WILL BE CRUSHED. NOBODY TELL HIM.

[lavendermint.livejournal.com]

Nobody's mentioned Eden of the East and Summer Wars yet? They were the main characters, respectively. Those are some of my favorite anime right there.

Also the panel was amazing!

[elkkiz.livejournal.com]

Whoa, Sinterniklaas is indeed similar to Sinterklaas! x'D

Can't wait to hear their voices (:

[btamamura.livejournal.com]

Sweet! Finnian is Iceland and (new)Xellos is Netherlands!!
