Well now, that's clearly a different sort of performance I admit - albeit one that pre-dates the explosion of Rie-mania that led to her franchising. That said, I don't think the performance is especially good - Al is probably the most interesting character in FMA on paper, but comes off rather bland in the anime version. But yes, it isn't Shana/Taiga/Louise/Ad nauseum.

Just to add some more discussion to the mix, I'd say that Kugimiya Rie role in Maria Sama ga Miteru as Touko is probably the best I have ever seen from her, even better than the Alphonse you seem to just frown at, or the Toradora/Shana/Louise typecast you seem to dislike, showing that she can actually perform a very different type of character, and string a whole new array of emotions when the script allows her to.
