Dreamland adds Junichi Suwabe and Miyu Irino to Japanese dub
Dreamland adds Junichi Suwabe as Asmodeus and Miyu Irino as Shun from Episode 2 of the French manga adaptation's Japanese dub.
The Japanese dub of Dreamland is adding Junichi Suwabe as Asmodeus and Miyu Irino as Shun from Episode 2, giving the French manga adaptation two more recognisable voices for its dream-world adventure. 1
The casting update was published by the anime's official website on 23 October. Suwabe's Asmodeus is presented as a powerful fighter, while Irino joins the cast as Shun. The announcement follows the series' October launch in Japan and its international streaming availability through Crunchyroll, with ADN carrying the show in French- and German-speaking regions. 12
Dreamland began as a French manga by Reno Lemaire and follows Terrence, a teenager haunted by a fear of fire after losing his mother. When he realises he is dreaming, he becomes a Traveller able to enter Dreamland, a second world formed from people's dreams and nightmares. The anime turns that premise into a colourful fantasy journey built around friendship, memory and the attempt to transform fear into power. 2
The new cast members matter because the adaptation is still establishing its Japanese-language identity. Suwabe's addition gives Asmodeus a voice associated with commanding, often theatrical performances, while Irino brings a contrasting presence to Shun. The official announcement does not reveal a larger plot twist for either character, so the useful news here is straightforward: both roles are joining the Japanese dub as the series moves beyond its opening episode. 1
The official Dreamland site is also promoting the show's first PV, which presents the series' central fantasy setting and confirms the October 17 Japanese broadcast start. That makes the cast announcement part of an active launch campaign rather than an archival note about a completed production. 3
Our opinion
This is the sort of cast update that earns a news story because it adds clear, timely information without pretending to reveal more than the production has announced. Dreamland already has an unusual foundation in French manga, Japanese voice production and a dream-fantasy setting. Suwabe and Irino should make the dub more attractive to anime viewers who follow voice casts, but the stronger reason to keep watching is whether the series can turn its striking premise into a coherent weekly adventure. For now, the official announcement gives the adaptation a modest but worthwhile lift as its Japanese cast continues to fill out.
