Issac and Miria
Isaac Dian (アイザック·ディアン Aizakku Dian?) and Miria Harvent (ミリア·ハーヴェント Miria Hāvento?) are fictional characters in the light novel and anime series Baccano! written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Katsumi Enami. Isaac and Miria are a pair of idiotic and eccentric lovers who dress up in costumes and commit strange robberies in Prohibition-era United States. In 1930, the duo are two of many characters who mistake an immortality elixir for alcohol and drink it at a celebration, inadvertently gaining immortality and eternal youth. The next year, they board the Flying Pussyfoot express train and survive the bloody hijacking that occurs. Isaac is arrested for various thefts in 1934 and imprisoned on Alcatraz Island. He is released the same year and reunites with Miria. The pair continue to live happily, finally realizing they are immortal in 2001. Isaac and Miria appear in the other media relating to the Baccano! franchise, including the video game, the two drama CDs and manga adaptation.
Numerous publications in various media have been written on the subject of Isaac and Miria's characters. Most described them as the most entertaining characters and commented on how the series would not be the same without them. One reviewer felt that they are the protagonists of the series, which features an ensemble cast. They were awarded "Duo of the Year" in 2009 by Anime News Network.
In the Japanese version of Baccano!'s anime adaptation, Isaac has been voiced by Masaya Onosaka and Miria has been voiced by Sayaka Aoki. In the English version, Isaac's role has been played by J. Michael Tatum and Caitlin Glass has played Miria. Tyler Walker, ADR director for the English version, wanted Isaac to be portrayed by someone who can convincingly portray an idiot and had a certain voice from the time period. He felt that Tatum was perfect because his voice was big, but not cheesy, and had depth. While casting Miria, he chose Glass because her voice complemented Tatum's. He wanted a lower pitch than Isaac's voice, but wanted the same enthusiasm for both characters.
