The new show has basically the same cast as the original 2005-7 series...with the addition of Ousaka Ryouta playing Jun as a college student. The new story follows a Jun who never met Shinku when he was younger, but meets her now.
The new story begins in episode 2. Episode 1 was a quick recap. Many viewers thought it was too quick. I thought it was a good introduction to the situation and the history. I had only seen bits and pieces of the previous series and OVAs, so my understanding was not that exact. Now I feel better equipped to get what's going on as things evolve. In any case, I look forward to the new story in an alternative universe, with an older Jin.
It is striking that all but the two main seiyuus are over 30. Some great names. The full characters/seiyuus page shows pics of the main characters and their seiyuus, with info about each seiyuu. Click here or on the image to go to the full page:
