It should be interesting to hear how he handles Ice, especially since he's only previously done dating sim and doujinshi-voice projects, if what I've seen is right.

I've thought that Hiro Yuki might have worked if they were going for a male voice. He can sound quite young, and even sound somewhat feminine for young boy roles (he's like the Japanese equivalent to Greg Ayres here, I'd guess!).

Saiga would've been interesting, as would have Maaya Sakamoto (she could have done his dry, "cold" tone too). The anime adaptation staff have done some odd things when it comes to voices though, I mean listen to America in the early CDs and earlier episodes and then listen to his character songs and the later episodes. Scary, eh? Then Japan's voice also went through some shifts too, and Greece's voice as of these later two episodes became quite exaggerated in the slowness. Daisuke Namikawa's "Romano" voice and Atsushi Kousaka's "Prussia" voice have also shifted about, for better and worse.

Hopefully Iceland's voice won't be too over the top!
