I'm sure they really, really care what you think about them.

Too hardcore for me. Even if I like the shows Rie Kugimiya stars in. And you know what? It's always weird that I keep forgetting she does Alphonse in FMA. Her Tsundere stuff is really ingraining.


She was also Hotaru in Gakuen Alice; and I believe she was in Shingu. But yeah, she knows what her bread and butter voice is.


except Hotaru was female. The only big surprise so far for Kugimiya's role for me would be Miharu in Nabari no Ou. I sure didn't see that one coming. Her recent role as Happy in Fairy Tail is absolutely hilarious.

I'd say "great job on getting the interview!"

except for the fact that interviewing a bunch of people who must stand in the same place for ~20 days might be the easiest interview to get ever.

(interesting idea, however)

For those who have yet to understand, I'll put it plainly:

Asians are suckers for collecting limited edition items or acquiring rarities.

Slap limited edition on any item and you can bet that we'll buy it. Am I ashamed of this habit? Not really...

....WOOOOOOOW....

I remember people waiting in line for 3 days straight to get a PS3 when it first came out. I thought those guys were hardcore nuts.

I love autographs and collector's stuff myself, but I just could never see myself doing anything remotely close to that. And honestly, if I were a celeb, I think I'd be kinda creeped out by a fanbase THAT dedicated.

Even if it was a VA that I liked, I wouldn't go that far. I can only really stand Kugimiya as Al, personally.

Guess there is a job problem in Taiwan as well.

These guys are dedicated to be sure, but uh... we'll just leave it there.

Yeah I bet they feel stupid for not making some more plates. Imagine the sales from 80,000 versus 150. Of course she wouldn't sign 80,000, but she could certainly do more than 150.

I was actually really shocked when I heard her as the voice of Mimi from RIN ~Daughters of Mnemosyne.

Oh yeah. I smell a new anime series. Shocked Signature Line Battle!

Avoiding security patrols , tot reform a line, just to get a signature. That's hardcore. Sounds like an entertaining 1-26 season too.

With the size of the picture I can't tell it from hamburgers.. but I'm guessing melon bread.

Definitely melon bread. She's my solid favorite voice actress after Toradora!, but the reason really is her range. Look at her credits, and you'll be surprised how many roles she does and how different they are. She's a true "actor" in my book. The tsundere thing just happened and is a minor part of her overall work. Obviously she and her management are smart to be cashing in on it.

However, no... not waiting in line for 25 days Wink. Would have bid at the auction, though, because those plates will go for insane prices in the next few weeks.
