O...omigawd...omigawd...omigaaaawd...

HIGURASHI HAS BEEN PICKED UP BY GENEON.
proof 1, proof 2

That was insanely quick. D8 Then again, us Americans love seeing teenage girls go insane and cut people into pieces, so it was bound to happen someday. *lawl* I hope the manga comes soon, preferrably picked up by Tokyopop...I just always imagined it that way...I can see it now! The lovely un-viz-framed covers with that stupid "100% Authetic Manga" stamp on the back. 8D Plus Viz is probably too wimpy to pick up such a horrific manga like Higurashi. XD They even let go of KKJ because of it's "religious theme", pfft.

I have mixed feelings at the moment. On one hand, now I can buy the products without hassle. On the other hand, I'm worried about the dubbing. Higurashi is a very hard anime to pull off, especially Satsuki Yukino, Mai Nakahara, and Yukari Tamura gave amazing performances, if not their BEST seiyuu work ever, on Higurashi. PLUS! There's a lot of screaming, much much screaming, and you have to make that CONVINCING you know! [/sarcasm]

I'm hoping Vic Mignogna will be cast as Keiichi. XD It would be PERFECT! Does Vic even do work for Bang Zoom! Entertainment and/or Geneon? These voice actors kinda stay in a certain arena, don't they? I know that all the series that were picked up by Viz had the similar voice actors to their anime, so I'm not totally sure how it works.

If Monica Stori gets cast as Shmion, I'm going to have to break out teh emotears...she's talented and all, but she actually SMASHED a character's image with her girly-girl voice, and she is not a good match for Satsuki Yukino nor Shmion. ;__; *clings to Satsuki Yukino-san ♥♥*

I must save money! JUNEJUNEJUNE!! @___@ That Onikakushi-hen DVD w/ Slipcase Cover box shall be MIIIIIINE.

(warning: very fangirly, incoherant post about a girl that is in love with a voice, leave now before it's too late D:)

Well, after getting 6 & 7 of the manga and getting overly excited again about the plot, I decided to continue with the anime. When I watched the first episode i thought it was borning for some reason, I think it was the pacing? It was like "okay...he finds the death note...he's gonna use it...i know it works...why are they making it so dramatic? agh!"

But I downloaded the rest of the eps and I really do like it, even though I already know what happens. XD BUT OMG!! The main reason I'm watching right now is...isss...

KAPPEI-SAN IS L!

Of course, I knew that, but...heh. xD When I first heard that he got that part, my first impression was of course joy, and then I was kinda "...huh?". Well, I've never really considered L to have THAT kind of voice, y'know? Kappei-san's crack!voice? Suited for crack!characters? Like...Inuyasha? :P Yes, I have a dangerously one-track mind, but I'm seeking help for it. XD

BUT...it works incredibly well! Omigawd, almost too well! Here I am, 12 AM, sitting with my legs to me in a chair and listening to Kappei-san's "smooth" voice coming out of L, and..omigggg...

It's....it's WOW. I had to cover my mouth to keep myself from making squeeing noises. XD It was SO nice hearing Kappei-san again! I've been following some of my other favorite seiyuu, but I haven't been checking out his new works, so it was like a reunion for me. XDD

And it's so...incredibly...sexy. -_- You know that voice he used whenever there was a romantic, soft moment in Inuyasha? The one that makes me Kappei!gasm like no tommorow? HE USES IT FOR L 24/7.

I can't even stand it. I almost want to just burn it to something and put it on repeat in my head forever...
