My main problem with this series is that usually whenever the crew is playing a game they don't like or they want to make fun of, at least some of them try to actively engage with it.
Right now I don't really see the point of this series and the joke behind it isn't really landing with me at all. Sure, I'll probably keep watching cause I kinda like Kingdom Hearts and I hope it gets better.
It's a pity that some of the biggest compliments this series is getting that it's 'a fun podcast' when there's so much weirdness, old design choices and nostalgia that you could have fun with.
I honestly think that limiting voice auditions to actors/actress that identify with the same gender identity as the character would be a step in the wrong direction.
As a little side note, in Japan it isn't all that unusual for women to perform the voice acting for the most well-known male characters. Some examples are Goku, Naruto (who is voiced by a woman in the English version as well), Luffy from One Piece and Edward from Fullmetal Alchemist. I really don't think there's anything wrong with that either, as long as the voice fits the character.
