Did the anime industry take a break this week so those 2 seiyuus could make babies? lol
I also like how Mariya Ise announced her marriage now, 3 months later, why even announce it at all? Feels weird to call it an announcement when it is this late too.
And why do seiyuus quit or stop seiyuuing because they are pregnant? Like, I guess if it's close that's ok and I really don't want to speak down on anyone here but I feel like being a seiyuu isn't the most physical demanding job in the world and it's not a job your baby is going to stop you from doing, I guess the whole "woman in kitchen" mentality in Japan doesn't help here. Mariya Ise should get back to work though, I think she still has to work on some Summer shows but who knows and she's only 27 anyway.

Either way, never heard of Anime Sols, and I think there's a good reason for that, it's nice that they have taken upon themselves to stream old anime but come on, who the hell thought that'd actually be a good idea?

Charlotte looks amazing though, really excited.

I still have no idea what the KnK movie is going to be about, every PV has shown completely different things, also looking forward to it.
Anyone have any info on the BDs release date? Can't even find one for the first movie.

I haven't watched any of Sidonia but that PV makes me really curious.

Aria still credits Athena as Kawakami Tomoko? Kinda weird. And apparently it's only an OVA.

~I'm so proud of myself for doing something with my life, I think I'm gonna frame this moment on my wall.

No, but seriously, a live action series, alongside movies? Milk milk milk~

The Otaku are to blame, they are jealous and a constant threat to their safety, I mean these Otaku sometimes track idols and seiyuu to their houses like dogs. If they seen them pregnant on a radio show (it's hard enough for them to realize they had sex and got married), there would be outrage and threats off the charts.

Being an otaku has a lot to it, uh? I wonder how much you'd have to train to sense if your favorite seiyuu is pregnant or not through voice alone.

If they have their address all they have to do is hide until they come home and you can tell if a woman is pregnant regardless of size and since most are petite you will notice right away.

They did, as did all the people who donated to their crowdfunding campaigns to get Creamy Mami, Black Jack and Dear Brother released on DVD. The problem is that running a company where you expect donations to be a permanent source of revenue is not sound business sense. Their intentions were good, but... just not a good long-term business model.

I was hoping to see one of my childhood favorites "Belfy & Lillibit" released on DVD before they went under, but no such luck. I hope someone else will pick it up.

Gratz to her. But I really hope it won't affect upcoming GuP movie cause I can't imaging any other seiyuu as Yukari.

I really hope that a sequel to Gin no Saji gets green-lit, that is if there is enough content for that (since it was in hiatus and all).
