I dunno... while they get points for at least trying to duplicate all the hairstyles and "looks" of most of the girls, I'm disappointed that they didn't hire an anglo for Evangeline, and (I suppose) for Zazie.
(ETA Oh, and no obvious robotic appurtenances on Chachamaru, either...
And I notice that we still have no visible Negi...

Discussion over on Usenet seems to be of the opinion that they couldn't find young-teen anglos who speak fluent Japanese and can act. (The "can act" part is less important for Zazie, but Eva's one of the main characters...)

---

Oh, and no obvious robotic appurtenances on Chachamaru, either...

---

Yet.

---

And I notice that we still have no visible Negi...

---

Apparently, either he hasn't been cast yet or they're keeping a tight lid on this bit of news. (My money's on the former.) I didn't notice a Takamichi-sensei, either.
One thing that they seem to have gotten "wrong" is the ghost-girl's school uniform... possibly they'll fix this closer to filming. (fingers crossed)

---

Huh. You'd think simply by virtue of the law of large numbers they should have been able to find someone.

---

---

This was my guess -- I thought that perhaps Negi's casting was likely to be a PR event similar to the casting of PGSM...

---

Yeah, I spotted that, too, but I figured they didn't want to draw the eye to any one individual in that group shot, and switching costumes for the headshot was wasn't worth the cost and effort.
