Appendices

  • Kenji Nojima played Hikaru in the Another Century's Episode 2 (A.C.E. 2) game. He played the same role in the Super Robot Wars α series and every new recording since the untimely 1996 passing of Hikaru's original voice, Arihiro Hase. Bandai re-edited and reused Hase's original dialogue recordings for the new animation in The Super Dimension Fortress Macross Do You Remember Love? game releases of 1997 and 1999, but the games since then have Nojima speaking entirely new lines. Similarly, Ryuuzaburoh Ohtomo now plays Vrlitwhai Kridanik since his original voice, Eiji Kanie, passed away in 1985. On the other hand, the original cast members for the other Macross characters have reprised their roles in A.C.E. 2, such as Show Hayami for Maximilian Jenius.
