I'm sorry, what?! Very Happy Sima Shi and Mimi... GET MARRIED?! Anime hyper The image is too hilarious. But really, congrats. I was just thinking the other day if either of these people were married. And now, well, they are. Super happy news! Ai Maeda is a "Super Girl"!

The younger Ai Maeda played O-Ren, not the older.

According to her Aoni Production agency's profile, the older Maeda (the one that had gotten married) was the one who played O-Ren.

When I saw the "actress" title, I thought it was the Ai Maeda who voiced Kino. So many CV getting married lately. I hope at least fans won't complain about this. Wish them luck Very Happy

My brain is breaking with the idea of Krelian marrying Shion Uzuki.

I'm getting it worse.

You've got Raidese F. Branstein marrying Cattleya F. Branstein, who was married to Rai's brother, Elzam V. Branstein (Tetsu Inada.)

MY BRAIN.
Shocked

Congrats to them.

I know! I thought it was Kino's VA, too, but this is also cool. Congratulations to all!

Thanks for pointing this out. I've fixed it in the encylopedia.

I wish them a happy life! I thought I only knew Okiayu san but I just checked Maeda-san profile and she played a side role in my favorite anime Cool

Aw, sweet. Congrats to both of them. =D

I saw Okiayu in person at Yaoi Con a few years ago. Very dignified guy but with a sense of humor, too.

You know, world's ending, so we might as well marry off our Samurai Warriors princess...

"Okiayu's many roles include the title character in Toriko, Berserker in Fate/Zero, Byakuya Kuchiki in Bleach..."

He did Toriko and Byakuya? I didn't even notice. I have a harder time matching up Japanese voice actors with their characters than the English ones.

Really? I find Okiayu one of the most recognizable seiyuu I've ever heard.
