| I was always wondering how much of photoshop magic they put into those photos lol. |
 |
| She looks like a legitimate crown princess. |
| @tsubasalover Honestly, who cares. There wasnt even a MAL page for her, so are there honestly people in the English-speaking world who care about her failed career? |
It's okay to smirk |
| I'm fairly certain nobody in this site knew her. She doesn't even have a MAL page of her own. |
 |
| @addioo12 @Orhunaa Thank you for your concern on this minor news. |

Minor detail: according to that linked page, "Saori Murakita (graduated on May 16, 2015)." Thanks :) shiteru said: is there any reason why she retired ? she looks young My guess would be that she decided it wasn't worth continuing that "career path" after four years of nothing but minor roles in minor shows, and/or her talent agency made the decision to let her go. The latter was the threat looming over the main character in this show: https://myanimelist.net/anime/29163/Sore_ga_Seiyuu (It's an uplifting show though) It would be weird, though not unbelievable, for her agency to make that call just after she got her first role in a full length show (all prior shows mentioned had had 2-7 minute episodes). Because of that I would guess it was her choice. I put "career path" in quotes, because she must have been making the equivalent of a few hundred dollars a year at most from seiyuu work. So then I'd figure, why not keep going? But that involves the hassle of going to auditions, and the constant discouragement of failing all of them (Shirobako), so no wonder if she'd had enough of it. (These anime are not documentaries, but where they are negative, you can bet real life is as bad or worse.) Or maybe she got married and started a family (some Japanese people still do that these days?), the possibilities are endless. But I would assume the announcement would include a happy reason like that, which is why I'd guess something more cynical. |
