Doesn't matter, every Anime is going to get a Hanazawa one way or another.

...In all seriousness, she's a pretty versatile Voice Actress.

I imagine the type of shouko to voice kuroyukihime and again.... I'm no good with the seiyuu names. It's just hard for me to remember their names and even the director so I don't know the name of shouko's seiyu. Shouko of bakatest.

Hyosei for drama cd Shouko.
Tomomi Isomura for anime Shouko.

But I think Yoshino nanjo (Aiko from baka test, if she does the more serious voice) could work, and double as a Frpside insert singer. xD

I AM SOLD FOR THIS. Actually why did this never catch my attention before.

News just in from Dengeki Bunko. Dengeki Bunko's December book list has just came out. This time AW Vol. 10 will be released on December 10th. This also means that the 4-month release cycle of SAO novels has been broken. (According to this cycle, SAO should be released this December instead of AW)

vol 10 on December 10? same day as NT. I haven't even seen vol 09 yet! They are delaying too much the real story of SAO. they even do 2 SS on 2 succeeding volumes.

Back to AW

from the chapters translated in the manga I get the impression that Kuroyukihime is the strong but weak and fragile girl inside. Plus she's manipulative :0

Sunrise probably pick this one because the characters avatar looks mecha to me.

Actually I have another seiyuu that I think may be a good match.

Kaori Ishihara, after her well performed role as Reki in Hidan no aria.

So both AW and SAO are getting drama CD; they probably wouldn't change the VAs since I highly doubt there will be huge time gap in between the two, we probably will find out who will cast who in the anime.

They really are simultaneously promoting both series at all steps along the way ...

when will the drama cd be out?

Don't know yet.

Looks like they're focusing on side story for vol10, which is great since that would give materials for the script writers to fit in side arcs as well (or more OVAs after the series). I REALLY HOPE they go up to vol09 in the anime. Supposedly there are a lot of wuv wuv scenes :D and the color illustrations are quite awesome (still can't get over how beautiful the cover jacket of vol9 is). DAMN YOU HARUKYUKIIIIIIII, I'm so jelly ;___; but I'm not a loliconnnnnnnnnn (14's legal right ...?). /facedesk

:topicoff:I wonder what Kawakami will do for SAO. I mean Alicization's coming up and he probably has to think a lot more on how to present that.

14 is legal.... in japan :heh: lolz. I already got the raw for vol 09 and it's one hell of a volume though I wish I could read it. love the design for BFS :D

if it will be vol 9 then they need 2 cour for this one. OR even maybe that is too much because 9 volumes in a span of 26 episode -_- seems a bit too rushed for me. Vol 5 and 8 is nice.



must be nice to be the only one to fly.

I must say... I'm falling in love with the manga.... I can't wait to watch the anime...
although I'm sure the main character's appearance will disappoint all of us... lol
who cares!! Story matters!! and also I want to see kuroyuki-hime... xD

I'm looking forward to Accel World more than SAO, because the protagonist in Accel World kind of has that underdog trait to him which I like, and it's interesting because he's fat, underrated, and a coward compared to most shounen protagonist who are skinny or muscular.

Don't get me wrong I love SAO to death. I read the novels and I've been a fan of Kawahara Reki-sensei since then, and I'm looking forward to seeing Kirito, Asuna, and a few others.

I hope they release SAO first because after reading it Accel World it kind of felt like it was a spiritual successor to SAO in its own right.

I want to see Haruyuki's harem and silver crow and not his own appearance :heh: :heh: :heh:

The MC will disappoint people if they don't like emo characters. Well he got a reason for turning emo.

If the series go for 2 cour, they can definitely reach this point.

so is it confirmed that instead of SAO getting released on Dec. 10 it will be AW? because when I asked that in other forum they said that vol 09 is just getting release and it should be SAO to be release because it's alternating itself in release dates.

That will be nice to see a battle between those two. But isn't Haruyuki's ability too much hax? even if Kirito is good in swords.

Man, I was randomly checking up on the site, and I suddenly became very apprehensive.

The director is Masakazu Obara, which is VERY good. Given his affiliation with Mai-Hime, I'm guessing Studio 8 from Sunrise will do this, and with the current amazing record of Horizon, I'm sure the animation will be top notch.

BUT

Series composition is Hiroyuki Yoshino, not sure how I feel about this. He's like on the opposite end of the spectrum for me. Either I love him or I hate him to the core.

Aren't they handful with Horizon already?
And Mai-Hime is great and all, until the last final episode.

I'm reading the manga when it was first released in scans and have followed it eversince. This is anime will, if the LN and manga is any indication, awesome....

I really don't like him... but as long as he follows the source instead of trying to improve things because he think he's better... oh we're fucked aren't we?

Also Studio 8 is now Sunrise LN studio lol.
