*Sees Kajiara hate on Totoum's wall by you*

You sir need to shoo!

I admit I never really tried looking for other Ayahi fans!

I think she just hasn't had much luck (and you definatly need that to be successful) a lot of projects she had the lead role in weren't hits,imagine if phantom came out now instead of 3 years ago,there'd be much more hype around a Urobuchi VN adaptation and more people would have noticed her performance as Ein.
I'm also scared that with the youth obsession with japanese Otaku,at almost 27 it might already be too late,but I hope my fears are wrong and she lands a blockbuster leading role.
I was hoping her being in sphere would help but it seems tough to stand out next to 2 k-on girls and Tomatsu Hakura.When I see covers like this it makes me wonder if she wouldn't have been better off had she somehow landed under Kajiura's wing instead.

As for nano ripe I don't hate them,I just like the ED a lot more!

Here's a deep dark secret:this is my first post on animesuki

Thanks for the message! I've been well, but classes just started yesterday so things are about to get incredibly busy. I'll probably disappear from the forums for a while.

How have you been?

It's a good philosophy to try and live by, no doubt about it. If anything, I'm trying to be more decisive about going after what I want, because I've definitely learned that time wasted is time you don't get back.

Wait wait?You're a Ayahi fanboy like me? *brofist*
She doesn't get enough love,true she often gets the gentle soft spoken character type but she'll still surprise with roles like young taichi or Mikako in Sora no Otoshimono.
She's got a crazy amount of range,wish producers would put that to use more.

On an unrelated Jinrui note,screw nano ripe,the Itou Masumi/Nanase Hikaru ED is where it's at,favorite ED of the season.

Well I'm not 89 anyway, bless her heart. I consider myself childlike, but the clock keeps ticking.

Had the feeling you'd be replying, so I kept checking every now and then.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm behind on everything too. But I'm watching older shows rather than catching up on last season. As for this season, Sword Art Online is the only thing watchable for me.

Stuck on the 3rd part of the Clock Tower in Catherine. And I'm still very oriented to Katherine. Catherine is cute but I don't believe a word she says and anyone who acts like her IRL is either loose or lying. People don't fall for each other like that IRL. Random sex, maybe. Claims of love - no freaking way.

Well, as you may have heard, I'm taking an extended (maybe permanent) break from here. I gain nothing positive anymore from these parts at present.

Peace and hope you enjoy catching up with things.

Sure feels like it sometimes...

Totoum (who's also a Ayahi fanboy) spammed links of various Ayahi niconico vids to me. And I must say she is an IMPRESSIVE vocalist. But like any anime singer, one must have enough dough to survive so there's also a bunch of mediocre stuff too (i.e. the nasal congested, high-pitched anime girl singing she also does).

There's actually 3 good SoL's airing atm - Tari Tari, Hyouka (carryover from last season) and Kokoro Connect. I'm particularly surprised with Hyouka considering my bad experiences with "recent" Kyoani, but Hyouka is more Haruhi-like and less Lucky Star/K-on like. Kokoro Connect has been a pretty solid teen drama so far with a body swapping gimmick. Tari Tari is still /fanboy and just further proves that PA Works anime original moe SoL/dramas are the best in the current industry to me .

But my fav of the season is Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita. Not sure if it's you're type of comedy, but I find it absolutely hilarious. Outside of the cute, colorful and crazy outside, it's brutally dark and ironic in its satire. What's even ironic is that it's directed by Seiji Kishi... and you already know how much I hate him . I do hate the OP though. F***ing emo nano ripe!

Why thank you! I'm at the point now where they're more depressing than anything worth celebrating, but I appreciate the thought nonetheless.
