While I'm happy to see some love for Masaki and Mirio...I was really hoping to see Morie as Chauvelin. I think she could have done an amazing job with the role, and really sunk her teeth into it. Much as I'm looking forward to hearing Mirio when she's not hoarse (her Rudolf on the DVD was filmed the same day as her shinko as Der Tod, and it's obvious the girl's pushing through, singing-wise), I have similar reservations.

You'd think being an 85th would be a good thing ITO top-star track, since it means she would likely not be around as long if/when she did make Top Star. She could be there just long enough to give Masaki and/or Mirio enough experience as nibante to get ready to top themselves.

Personally, of the three, I think Morie's the most ready for a nibante role. She's had the most experience, and she's got amazing stage presence, even in her younger roles (which is admittedly mainly what I've seen of her). Masaki's Luigi was the first thing I've really seen her in, but it was very good. Mirio seems the weakest of the three, to me.

*sigh* At least they've finally chosen a Chauvelin. That's the role I've been waiting to see cast since it was announced Tsukigumi'd be doing Pimpernel.
