That's like saying Sean Connery is the second actor to play James Bonds. It's correct, but it's just a half hour OVA that was made by a different studio.
But it does exist.

Also, it has Norio Wakamoto.

That said, no one can stay on top forever.Even if she doesn't die before the anime ends, how long can a woman her age keep up with all the screaming that comes with playing a character like Luffy?
i'm more concerned about oda's health itself as well since he is a smoker

Considering Tanaka is 67 years old and the at the pace the anime is going, it is a high possibility she gets what she wants... unless Toei sneaks her with a new DB movie/series that will make Kuririn her last role, but she can always decline. If something does happan before OP anime ends, they can always go back to Luffy's original seiyuu.
how do u know that tanaka chose the original to be after her , if shed died ? she didn't say who will be and this supports it is not his og seiyuu

Maybe I'm spoiled on Tanaka's voice, but I don't think OVA Luffy sounded like a good fit. Zoro and Nami were pleasant though

Not going to lie thats a scary thought to know but it does leaves something to think about. However she is a Japan VA veteran but also a legend who has been in the anime industry since the high time of the 1990s. So she deserves to think about her future after voice acting. Especially with her close friends and family.

80s actually. She was in Urusei Yatsura and voiced Krillin since the original DragonBall.

Don't really care about the actor but I'd be very glad to see One Piece of crap end.

Then why are you there? You seem to care One Piece enough to comment on the article.
