just out of curiousity.... are they done by the same seiyuu? (or have my ears lost it as well...)

[*SIGH* probably the latter]

I just watched Episode 15 RAW and.......it was great! Not the best episode, but definitely better than 13 and 14 in my opinion. I'm taking this episode as proof that Maburaho hasn't yet reached its pinnacle Damnit there's so many things I want to say but I don't want to spoil anything.

It's done by the same person. (a very talented person, IMO)

I wrote this on another thread but...

The seiyuu for Yuuna is Nabatame Hitomi. She was originally a stage actress, but her voice was found to be excellent enough and she became a seiyuu. Her first "major" role was playing Arcueid in "Shingetsutan Tsukihime."

Her current role is Rosa Foetida - Torii Eriko in "Maria-sama ga Miteru"

....and, it's interesting to see two more seiyuus who began their "major" role in "Shingetsutan Tsukihime" to be in "Maria-sama ga Miteru." Many Japanese anime fans are checking out these seiyuus as they probably will be the next "Horie Yui."

*raises hand* ^_^;;

Uh, stupid question. What's a "Horie Yui"?? I'm guessing what you're referring to would be the same thing as us saying "She'll be the next Hugh Hefner" or something. If that's the case, who was Horie Yui?

Close. Horie Yui is a famous voice actress, who voiced very popular anime girls in various popular animes. I guess her most known voice was for Narusegawa Naru in Love Hina. But its not just that, she voiced Kotori in Da Capo, Ayu in Kanon, Multi in To Heart, and many more (including Bottle Fairy, but I'm not sure which voice she did in that). But I don't know her that well...

Horie Yui was the seiyuu for Sarara in "bindume yousei-Bottle Fairy-"

And, for Americans, I guess she would be also known for portraying the role of Honda Tooru in "Fruits Basket."

Horie Yui's career

[Keitaro]

Yui Horie is better known to Americans in Love Hina as Naru. Which was one of her biggest roles in her voice seiyuu career.

Ah, ic. So I take the assumption "Love Hina" was a really popular series in America. Interesting...

In Japan, if you ask any otaku, they will respond "Multi!" for Horie Yui. How loli we are ^^

Well, part of that is due to the fact that To Heart was never even licensed over here (neither anime nor game)! It's too bad also... the anime is really well done, and I'm sure the game is also.

Well, Lunar's Maburaho 15 is out now (that was fast, Lunar; thanks!), and I know what you mean now. What a good episode!

Spoiler:

The key thing, I would say, is that they all finally accepted Kazuki's present condition and are moving on, which makes for a much better show.

Such a nice backstory on Rin; it really helps explain why she is the way she is. She has so many "moments" in this episode... funny, serious, sad... it's just really well done. I did think, though, that it was an aweful lot to squeeze into one episosde... it seemed kind of rushed, in a way. Still, though, it was a nice episode, and brought things sort of back on track.

Anyways, all that being said, watch it for yourself, if you haven't already! I'm glad that I stuck with this show.

Edit: I guess it's deserving of spoiler tags, even though it's not very specific at all.

Spoiler:

Yes, I agree I thought it was a bit rushed. Shunji-san's sudden appearance and departure reminded me of the episode with Kazuki and that short-haired girl in the play. I liked both Shunji-san and that girl, and felt when it was evident that they wouldn't be coming back in future episodes. Even though it was rushed, it really was a really nice episode.

Next episode: "Nozoichatta (Peeked)". Hmm, something tells me that the next episode is going to be

What I'm really hoping for is for Kazuki to start using magic again as a ghost. Elizabeth-san used magic in Episode 3 right? If Kazuki can use magic infinitely as a ghost.....well things are going to get interesting

I'm hoping the girl (Yamase?) will come back sometime... I hope that since Shunji didn't get a spot in the ED, and yet Yamase did... hopefully she'll be back

Well, actually...

Spoiler:

It wasn't naughty, but was actually well done. They really had me going there for a while! A bunch of random thoughts: Gotta love how everyone in the restaurant was a cop, lol. And the look on everyone's faces when Elizabeth says "I'm her daughter", lol! And also... so, Kazuki actually likes Kuriko's attention, after all, huh... And, Kuriko actually sees Elizabeth as a daughter; how sweet! Overall, an enjoyable episode.

[Keitaro]

I loved ep16. Showed a different side of Kuriko.

Agree as well...

though I wouldn't have minded if Kuriko left the Kazuki chase...
(though it's pretty obvious that it won't happen for a while... darn it... I was hoping that Maburaho would at least twist the love rectangle steriotype...)


Well... now that each Rin and Kuriko have had their episode... I wonder what'd going to happen next?

[Flippy]

WOW...i'm 16% done with d/l episode 16...yeah....oh 17% even better!
