Strike Witches 2 gets a new seiyuu photo

I know how much girls who don't wear pants, but instead have striker units attached to their legs, mean to anime fans. The fact that Strike Witches officially announced a second season back in February of '09 probably brought great joy to the lands, and there was an age of peace and goodwill.

So don't hate me for what I have to say next.

It's been revealed from scans of an early-sale copy of Nyantype #8 that Mio Sakamoto's role in the second season of Strike Witches will be voiced by Saori Seto instead of Saeko Chiba.

As a fan of many series myself, I understand the burning passion of wanting all of your voice actors to stay as they are (well, as long as they're not terrible at it.) When a new voice comes into play, it can totally change how you perceive a character, and even how much you like the show. At least for me, because I'm picky about these things. So I expect that there's going to be some rage to be had from you guys.

I have to admit, after going over the credits for both voice actresses, Chiba really does seem like the better equipped (and more prolific) seiyuu, so I'm not really sure of the reasoning behind passing her up for Seto. On the other hand, sometimes a fresh voice can be a good thing. 

What do you guys think? Let the ragin' begin.

[Thanks, Ko!]

Personally I don't really care about this. I watched the dub and I don't plan on watching the subs for the 2nd season. If it gets released in the US the dub cast will more then likely be the same.

That said I can certainly sympathize with actors changing it really annoys me as well. I won't be watching the 2nd season of Hell Girl because of lack of English dub(which is effectively the same thing as a changed cast since i never watched it subbed) because Brina is Ai for me. Similar situation.
lame. Chiba is epic. wont watch the show anyway tho..wasnt very good until near the end when it got well worth all the time i spent watching it. but i still liked sky girls a lot better
i WILL rage thank you very much... Strike Witches is not my favorite anime by far, but dammit it was entertaining. out of the voice actors on the show the only one who i thought was really voiced well was Mio. this really sucks
I concur with Reibooi, in that I'll wait for Funi to dub this eventually.
I can't see Mio being a very big part of Strike Witches 2 anyway. She lost most of her power last season, bitch got old.
Well, I would agree with Reibooi, but I actually really do care about voices, especially in anime of which I considerably enjoy. Being a voice actor myself, voices matter a lot and when you change them, it does feel weird and does grow on you, but sometimes you just have to deal with it.

Personally, I love Saeko Chiba and everything she does. She just has that voice, I guess. I think I've heard a bit of Saori Seto around, but I'd have to look up her resume on ANN to clarify my memory. Hopefully shit doesn't hit the fan for the series. Because Japanese ARE VERY PICKY about voice actors as well.
doubt funi will ever release the second season.
Thank you
