(CR) Skip Beat!

[The Chaos]

Summary:

Kyoko has devoted her life to Shotaro. When Shotaro came to Tokyo to debut as a singer, she followed him and worked to provide for him. But one day, Kyoko overhears Shota telling his manager that Kyoko means nothing to him. She's just convenient, a housekeeper. This makes Kyoko furious, and she vows revenge on Shotaro. But Shotaro just laughs at her, saying she won't be able to touch him because he's now a popular singer and she's a nobody. So Kyoko decides to get into showbiz and become even more popular than Shotaro to humiliate him. Unfortunately, Shotaro has destroyed Kyoko's ability to love, and she discovers that it is a prerequisite for her to debut from her chosen company, LME. The president of LME puts her into a new section made for those who caught his eye but have something missing. It's name... Section Love Me.

this is seriously good news! I loved Yoshiki Nakamura's Tokyo Crazy Paradise which unfortunately didn't get animated; now Skip Beat which is equally good is at least getting some love!
Then again, I'll reserve most of my excitement until I see which studio is animating it

Hot damn, Awesome news!

Hmm, well they've had some good ones, and some less then good ones. Hopefully it will turn out on the better side. Really looking forward to this one!

Since the manga hit the US market and was recommended to me, I was crazy about it and really wished to see it animated ^_^; It would sooooo good to see Kyoko hialrius moments in ACTION rather than reading it ^_^

I just hope the adaption will turn out as good as the manga in both art and story line... otherwise I will just stab myself for making that wish

By most accounts they did a pretty damn good job with Aria and it's nice to see when looking over their work that they have done several sequel series. Having only read 4 volumes of Skip Beat I have no idea if there are any good stopping points but if there is I'm sure they will get to one and than make another series in the future.

[nanafan]

have they announced the voice actors yet? i am excited to see how it goes.

[The Chaos]

No...Not Yet.>_<
I hope Ren have an awesome Voice

[yongshun]

for some reason I can hear Hikari's voice actor from S.A. for Kyoko.

[Westlo]

Read volume 5-11 of this in a row yesterday... awesome stuff, I especially loved volume 5.

I like Yuki Goto... but this would be one horrible, horrible choice and would kill the character. She can barely manage Hikari how is she going to handle someone as dynamic and vibrant and scary and all over the place as Kyoko? I actually don't even know who would do a good job as Kyoko... I'm totally perplexed! Sanae Kobayashi, Ami Koshimizu or Satsuki Yukino maybe? What do you guys think?

[yongshun]

How about Akira's voice actress?

Hitomi Nabatame is quickly becoming one of my favs and I think she could do a good job with it. She's Kanade in Candy Boy, Kanu in Ikkitousen, Margery Daw in Shana and Eriko in Maria-sama. I'm also really looking forward to her upcoming role as Ryoko in Ryoko's Case Files.

I'll be happy with her... now who to voice Ren, Kanae and the President?

[yongshun]

for the President they should use the narrator from Hayate no Gotoku.

True..he Would Be Good one for him

I Hope Ren Voice Would Be Mamoru Miyano

[mangalowres]

Hmmmmm, it will be interesting to see how they will animate the "devil vs angel" part, since there are many in the first chapters

[The Chaos]

[mangalowres]

I hope that this show will have 24 or 26 eps 52 would be ok too

[The Chaos]
