Is Haruka Tomatsu really Hori or the other way around?

I mentioned how there couldn't be anyone better to be casted as Kyouko Hori than Haruka Tomatsu, the mother of all mother-like characters. She has an ideal voice for your friendly mom, just not the other mom who goes ara ara... or does she? When talking seriously, her voice leans away from Hori's character but … Continue reading Is Haruka Tomatsu really Hori or the other way around?

Remember that seiyuu etiquette from Sore ga Seiyuu!?

Remember that seiyuu etiquette from Sore ga Seiyuu!?

The first episode of Sore ga Seiyuu! pretty much gets right to the point, showing us the ropes of a seiyuu's daily life. The whole senpai-kouhai relationship is not limited to anime but even all sorts of entertainment industries in Japan.   The veteran featured on the show's first episode is no other than Nozawa Masako. … Continue reading Remember that seiyuu etiquette from Sore ga Seiyuu!?

Can I please have Takahashi Rie say “Mayo” for every time I take out the Mayonnaise?

Cooking with her would be a dream come true. I swear that she is more animated than any anime characters she voiced. I have made it so that the video starts at where the title suggested, otherwise it actually got fun from the moment she starts cooking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAXSMOgiaGw&t=1985s I will have you know that 36:36 … Continue reading Can I please have Takahashi Rie say “Mayo” for every time I take out the Mayonnaise?

Japanese fans react to Kimi no Na Wa. upcoming Hollywood live-action adaptation

I have retweeted this hilarious chain of translations done by the kind @nise_shi. Apparently this is how the Japanese react to Hollywood taking on Kimi no Na Wa. Unlike people in the West, Japanese in general never fail to find humor in anything. https://twitter.com/nise_shi/status/913208521855877120   My favorite one would be getting Michael Bay to assist with … Continue reading Japanese fans react to Kimi no Na Wa. upcoming Hollywood live-action adaptation

Even Kirino and Kuroneko pick up on how to act Tsundere in English

Way back when OreImo was airing! Anime nowadays will almost always come with radio broadcasting programs to advertise them. It's one of the best way for anime fans to actually learn Japanese by listening (preferably WITHOUT subtitles) and picking up on common phrases used by Japanese people in the voice acting industry. Please consider looking … Continue reading Even Kirino and Kuroneko pick up on how to act Tsundere in English

Saenai Radio no Sodatekata Flat

Utaha is getting more and more savage even after the anime season is over. Now she's tricking Eriri into being a weirdo in radio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztunxzrz3N4   So instead of how to raise a boring girlfriend, the theme changes to raising a boring radio program (broadcast). The real question is, who will be the main heroine? … Continue reading Saenai Radio no Sodatekata Flat
