I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Good. Now we know for sure that there won't be any Chihayafuru 3. Not in the near future at least. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Good thing it will be a short hiatus. Hope he recovers soon. |
 |
| Hope he recovers soon. Inb4 people asking about his role as Reiner in SnK S2. |
| Noooo T^T I hope he gets well soon, his voice is the most beautiful thing ♥ |
| Well hope he recovers soon. He's one of the best seiyuus. |
 |
| Ohhh damn, i hope he recovers well. He has such a distinctive voice. |
| Nooo, not Hosoyan! T_T He's one of my favourite seiyuu. I hope he gets better soon! <3 |
| What a shame, he became a favorite of mine after his work as the VA of Ohta from Tanaka-kun and I really enjoyed his voice in any other series where he participated. I hope he gets better soon, I can't wait to hear him in future series! |
 |
| It's probably from voicing Daryun, having to scream "DENKA" all the time. In all seriousness though, I hope he recovers soon. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| What about Reiner.... ? and Tokoyami.... Tsk... Why now... Maybe a Little break after work.. or another week..after he gone through hmm But I'm still curious... |
 "Think about that glowing dust That destroys the night sky's dream of Just being nothing"--  -- |
| Additional Info. (Adding the info. regarding if his roles will be affected with his hiatus gradually when I saw them): No change on Starmyu anime nor upcoming event, since he already finished recording his part. https://twitter.com/hstar_mu/status/856160785021550592 His Ensemble Stars role Hokuto Hidaka will be replaced by Tomoaki Maeno (Permanently, not Temporary). His Ikemen Sengoku◆Toki wo Kakeru Koi role Yukimura Sanada will be replaced by Kensho Ono (Permanently, not Temporary). https://nijimen.net/topics/11402 No change on Strike the Blood (finished his part). https://twitter.com/stb_anime/status/856315554583396352 No change on Yume Oukoku to Nemureru 100-nin no Ouji-sama and Akanesasu Sekai de Kimi to Utau. https://twitter.com/b3oU9EzBPE19y0f/status/857927041391370241 |

| Damn, I hope he gets better soon. He has an incredible voice and is one of my favorite seiyuus ... It's a tough job. |
| I hope he recovers soon, he's voiced some great characters. I recall him being in tons of series last year, so it's not exactly surprising that his health is suffering. Damn Japanese and their overworking culture. |
| Health always comes first. Hope he heals well ♥ His voice is amazing. |
 |
| Damn he's a really talented seiyuu, wish him the best of luck in his recovery!! I low key could relate to most of his characters. |
| damn, the forums these days... |
| Well he plans on returning within this year, so hopefully he'll heal well. |
| NOOOOOO!! NOT HOSOYA-- Oh, it's only a few months? Okay, that's a HUGE relief. GET WELL SOON, SEXIEST VOICE ALIVE~ |
| aw, poor hosoya ;_; i hope he'll recover soon!! |
| Hope he gets better soon considering he's in a lot of new stuff recently and series that are likely to get continuations like bungou stray dogs (one of my personal favourites). And attack in titan. He's very good, hope it's not permanent. |
| Now both Akatsuki, Kojou and Himeragi, Yukina are on hiatus. |
| This is what screaming as Kojou did to you |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| whoooooooooooooooo |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| It's best to take a break when your money maker is aching lol but this makes me strongly believe that Attack on Titan won't have a third season this year. Not that anyone said so, but I was hoping they were going to surprise us.. I suppose that's not going to happen with Reiner's VA taking a temporary leave.. |
| I wish him a swift recovery! |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
EasyGo-er said: Hope he recovers soon. Inb4 people asking about his role as Reiner in SnK S2. voice recording is probably finish for the second season since its only 12 episodes and they were already half way through recording since February/March.

Reiner wont have any role in the 3rd season if its planned to also be 12 episode, so it would not affect season 3, and they could always replace the voice actor, though I wouldn't like that. |
| sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo idk about Shingeki no Kyoujin unless he is dead already in the manga maybe ? ( no spoilers pls ) but how about Akatsuki Koujo ? and the Bungou Stray Dongs ? I think it won't be that long he already finished his role Akaba Reiji |
 |
Guranto-kun said: No senpai, this is OUR fight!Now both Akatsuki, Kojou and Himeragi, Yukina are on hiatus. |
| Praying for this sexy man to get better soon. |
 |
| oh! that's so sad, he has such a beautiful voice, I hope he gets better... |

| He is one of my favourite seiyuus. I hope he recovers from his throat condition soon. But what about Reiner? Did his throat condition got bad after voicing Reiner in Shingeki No Kyojin season-2? Get well soon. |

 |
| oh no. please get well soon T_T |
| Get well soon, Hosoyan. |
| He is one of my favorite. Take your time to rest and get well soon! Fighting! 💕 |
 : : My Anime List : : : : My Manga List : : |
| I have recently came in contact with his work as Orga on Iron Blooded Orphans series, and I quite liked his performance, hope he cames back soon! |
 |
| Get well soon, Hosoyan! First Irino Miyu goes on hiatus, now Hosoya.... This doesn't look good for 4th season of Haikyuu!! :( |
 ♥ “If you’re the king that rules the court, I’ll have to defeat you, and I’ll be the last one standing!” |
| I hope he gets better soon, tbh. |
