I'm happy to hear that Mamiko is now married. She's an enduring favourite of mine, with some of my favourite roles being Esther (Trinity Blood), Masa(mu)ne (Witchblade) and Nodoka (Negima!).

Congrats to both of them. I wish them the best.Reading that Mamiko portion made me think of all my waifu's she voiced and that they were also getting married and pregnant (e.g.: Elsa). Crying or Very sad

Congrats to MoriMori's voice actress!

I know I shouldn't find it funny that an actress feels the need to reassure fans that she isn't pregnant in her wedding announcement, but it kind of is--until you realize that in Japan, many people still automatically think that "pregnancy=will no longer work" and that's awful, even if there hadn't been a medical school admission test score manipulation scandal recently Sad.

I think rumours that Noto is married has been around for a while now..

At least if my memory serves me right. But nothing was ever confirmed.

A big congratulations to both of them

Another announcement of a VA being pregnant: in a 9/12/2018 tweet, Brina Palencia announced that she is pregnant.

Congratulations to both of their marriages, and to Mamiko for expecting a child. She will be missed voice wise, but she shall return.

Kudos to not making known who their spouses are. Things like that should be kept under the radar.

Although most of the major seiyuu who've had kids of late are still working.

I know Rina Sato had a baby a while back and she's in 2-3 shows in this current season.

Miyuki Sawashiro also had a baby and she's still pretty active.

Wow, amazing timing! Congratulations to Brina!

Do she and Mamiko share any roles together? I can't think of one off-hand.

That and seiyuu marriages outside the industry tend to fair better then seiyuu marrying seiyuu.

What a coincidence, Brina and Mamiko have both played Ai Enma in Hell Girl/Jigoku Shoujo. Eye see that Ai is having a wonderful time. Ba dum tss.

Still, happy for all of the anime moms to be!

I just bought a Hell Girl CD, too.

Mamiko's ghostly singing voice is irresistible.

I can already imagine Mamiko using her whispery singing voice to put her child to sleep.
