Did anyone watch the April 1st airing of the first episode? I wanted to, but I
was busy playing a game.
I watched some clips later of the Adult Swim "prank," and I thought it
was pretty hilarious.
Stahn Aileron from Tales of Destiny and Judas from Tales of Destiny 2 are
currently among my favorite Tales of Series characters. Tales of Destiny is my
favorite games, as it got me hooked on the Tales series in general and was among
one of the first RPGs that I ever really played as a kid.
I would like to join this group because I feel that I would be a great
contributer to the fandom. ^^
There is something I have been curious about, and I hope you guys don't mind the
topic change all of a sudden...
But who do you like better from XXXHolic? Yuuko or Watanuki? Personally, I have
a hard time deciding myself, since I love Yuuko's twisted sense of humor, but I
also like how Watanuki wigs out all the time (along with my strange habit of
thinking he looks alot like Harry Potter).
Hello, everyone! sarisasenshi here.
I'm new to the club, and was thrilled to find a fanclub for Shamanic Princess.
(The picture of Tiara and Graham helped a little too. *ahem*)
Let's see....
I own two of the domestic Full Metal Alchemist DVDs and the Special Edition tin,
the domeestic OST (1), the first Full Metal Alchemist game, the first unreleased
manga book, aaand... some capsule figures and two fanbooks.
Needless to say, I've played the first PS2 game, and I really love it. I still
need to finish it though.
I was hoping to cosplay as the movie version of Edward, but I have neither the
hair (I'm a brunette) or the time to do it in. Besides, I'll be sure to see alot
more of the Elric brothers at Otakon this year with the release of the series
domestically. That will be enough for me.
I think that someone can become an fan, persay, of a series without knowing the
casting of a series. Fans can become attracted to the characters or the story
without drawing themselves into the way many of the minor and major characters
express themselves. Personally, I find that very hard to believe, but
nonetheless, I do think it really makes a difference into how much a fan can
care for a series. It is my personal belief, however, that if you do not allow
yourself to pay attention to the emotions the characters within a series feel or
how their voices help to express themselves, then you can't be called a true fan of a series.
Therefore, if you really love an anime series, you will want to find out who the
people are behind the characters. Sometimes out of curiosity, other times
because they may seem familiar to you... After taking this first step, and
learning who the seiyuu are and what other roles they do, it might even boost
your love for this series and help you look at them in a different way. In this
way, I have to agree with Kei-kun. If you really love an anime series, you'll
have to try really hard to ignore the
people who give some of your favorite characters their voice. After all, you
could almost go as far to say that they are the lifeblood of those characters,
and so you should at least give them some respect for that, right?
Being a true fan is a wonderful experience, and it helps you keep your eyes open
for other times when a seiyuu you might remember by voice or name might appear.
Then again, being an otaku doesn't hurt either. (Unless you want to pay for it
through your wallet. Hehee... )
Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to the club, but I hope you can find it in your
hearts to extend a warm welcome to me.
Anyway, my roomate and I have been seiyuu fans ever since we started to avidly
watch newer anime series featuring the Japanese language tracks as well as
fansubs. It is because we cannot help but look over at each other when we pick
up the sound of a familiar voice, and then scramble to find out who it is and
what other roles they have done. It is almost like a game to us, but it also is
interesting to see what kind of experiences seiyuu have, as they even tend to
pop up in the most "unexpected" places in our favorite anime
series'.
Among some of my favorite seiyuu are undoubtly names you might recognize: Japanese Seiyuu: Midorikawa Hikaru,
Hayashibara Megumi (I am also a big fan of her singing!), Seki Tomokazu (The man
is everywhere!), Ishida Akira, Okiayu
Ryoutarou (Who I almost always incidentally refer to as
"Shigure-san"!) and Koyasu Takehito (He makes me break out in
fangirlish squeals whenever I hear his voice. )
- I also have recently become fond of Seki Toshihiko, who does the voices for
Iruka (Naruto), Duo Maxwell (Gundam Wing) and Cid (Final Fantasy: Unlimited)
among others. The other Japanese seiyuu I have had a fandom for a long time is,
strangely enough, the voice of Inaho from Master of Mosquiton, Imai Yuka. I know
her well through her voice role as Rutee from the Tales of Destiny Playstation
game, and also very recently as Shiori from an episode of Konjiki no Gash
Bell.
English Seiyuu: David Lucas (Who my
friends affectionately refer to as "Mr. Spike Spiegal-voice."), Mona
Marshall (Who is also everywhere!) and
Scott McNeil (Who I have had the pleasure to see in person at Ohayocon twice
now!)
Maybe there should be an announcement about the release of the new .hack//ROOT novels and the upcomming .hack//GU game? :3

They are making a TV series?! Really?!
I'm probably really slow to this news, but I'm so excited!
Kinda belated, but... Your resident member here just turned 21 on January 8th!
Cheers! (*psst* Still don't have much of a penchant for alcohol, but I recommend the Mudslide for anyone who is legal.)

Anywho, it's nice to meet you all!

But is it just me, or does finding a fanclub like Oldsters only manage to make me feel like I'm really old? Hahaa... Probably not.

I have been a fan of Fullmetal Alchemist ever since a friend of mine lent me about the first 12 episodes of the series on fansubbed CDs...
Since then, I've been hooked watching the series on Cartoon Network and collecting the series on DVD as they come out.
I would honored if you would let me become a member of your club!
