Anime Epiphany (2): Digimon style

nice long gap we got here...
Well, this is out of my own leisure this time; and no imaginative pressure this time


SO, I've been watching Digimon Adventure in Japanese which is pretty awesome. A few things that are rather annoying of course like the repetitive digi-volving or should i say the "shinka" haha.  *shrugs* It is an anime aimed at kids...Everyone remembered Digimon?  Good times in my childhood.  I'm currently watching it in Japanese. In the end, the difference between the original jap and the dub US version isn't terrible compare to say Cardcaptors? Hah. Still, I fully recommend you watching it in its original Japanese voices :]  There's a lot of fun jokes in there that U.S. translation wouldn't pick up hehe.

Anyway, being the anime nerd that I am, I picked up Hikari's voice which sounded pretty familiar which gave me a bad feeling... it's that bad feeling of an annoying anime character. What popped up? Chibiusa...  Looked it up and I was right.  It's somewhat a shame since I adore Hikari, but at times when she speaks up... That cursed pink-haired chibi thing pops up.  (Sorry Chibiusa fans, but she just rubs me the wrong way). I looked it up and well I was right heh.  Araki, Kae...Not sure if she's done anything recent lately... Hard to tell unless I want to go through that list... and I don't haha.
Another one popped up. Our lil Pinocchimon (aka Puppetmon) sounded very familiar.  So, seriously, I think this seiyuu is starting to become my favorite. Afterall, she is the voice of the kawaii Chi-chan! It just works for someone psychotic; in yet, retains a cuteness that you can't just... shy away (TAMAMA-DESU!) First thought was indeed Private Tamama! And yes, I was right.  Kozakura, Etsuko is too awesome-DESU.
I think i'll start uploading the episodes...

Anime Epiphany (2): Etsuko Kozakura

As I was watching and editing Chi's Sweet Home for my Youtube channel, I've noticed the familar voice played by Youhei. After listening to him a while longer, I've noticed Youhei's "waaiii" and Tamama's (from Keroro Gunsou) "waaiii" are very similar. I confirmed it as true through animenewsnetwork. Both Tamama and Youhei is played by actress Etsuko Kozakura-san.

Ya, I'm good, hehe.

anime/manga epiphany (1): Satomi Koorogi

SO, I was sure... for those people that have seen Fullmetal Alchemist and Naruto... I was positive that Naruto's and Edward's seiyuu were the same person.  I was wrong of course... Sad day.  I guess what got me was both Edward's and Naruto's obnoxious attitudes that made me think they were similar in terms of seiyuu.

BUT there was one thing I knew I got right. Thus, the actual epiphany.
So, I finally started watching Fullmetal Alchemist a few days ago... Around episodes 5-7, I'm sure y'all were engaged with the cute Nina-chan. (Yes, very sad thing what happened with her...) Her voice was adorable as well. I thought to myself... "hey, I've heard a cute voice similar to hers as well."  I went through anime character's voices i've recently listened to in my head... that's when the epiphany appeared.
Nina and Chi (from Chi's Sweet Home) have the same seiyuu. I was sure of it. I looked it up and I was right!! Yay!
I'm always proudish when I find these stuff out on my own. My oldest sister has that little 'gift' as well with U.S. acters/actresses. So, the person behind Nina-chan and Chi-chan is Saomi Koorogi. Let us give her a big hand for doing a great job :]
