Kamisama Kazoku

[Ori]

Yes, you are not the only one. Her voice actor is really really good.

This season, two voices caught my attention. One is Tenko's and the other is Ryoko's from Zegapain. Both of their voices are so cute and fresh sounding.

[Lotiman]

Well, this show its a bit boring

[Kaoru Chujo]

The amazing thing about Koshimizu Ami this season is that here she's doing genki little high-voiced Tenko, and in Simoun she's playing big, serious, low-voiced, masculine-seeming Paraietta. Starting next Tuesday, she's also playing the heroine's rival in Muteki Kanban Musume.

[Ori]

Woah! Craziness. My respect for her just goes up that much higher.

Just saw episode 7.

Spoiler for Episode 7:

As with the previous episode, this story centers on Ai-chan and her growth. But an important part of the scenario is placed on the girl in the wheelchair and the story she told Samatarou, about her dreams of the devil and a girl holdng her back.

From the looks of the grown Ai, the wheelchair girl (whose name, still not disclosed, happens to be Ai), and the people from her dreams, I construe that the theory about Ai and the wheelchair girl being the same person, the devlish girl being Kumiko, and the middle-school Ai telling the wheelchair girl to wait, isn't too far-fetched.

Realistically speaking, I wonder how Samatarou and Tenko explained Ai-chan's existence to their classmates and teacher?

Also, is Papa-san (still out on duty) involved in any of this?

Episode 7 was nice in portraying Tenko's endearment to Ai as if she were a security blanket towards Samatarou and the Kamiyama family.

Spoiler for ep 7:

This was a little on the uneventful side. The important bits were a more detailed description of the wheel chair girl's dream from last episode, and the picture the older sister found of Ai. Not that it was bad or anything, it was a funny episode with the mother freaking out about Ai. The older sister sending Ai in a school bathing suit to their school had me rolling. Anyway from the preview looks like the father will finally get involved and things will become clearer.

[Kaoru Chujo]

For me, this was another enjoyable, heart-warming episode, with great work from Koshimizu Ami and Mamiko Noto (as the girl in the wheelchair). This show may not end up in anyone's top ten, but it has something special in its heart. Eggplant's speculations make sense to me. Except I don't think "realistically speaking" has much to do with this show, lol.

Spoiler for ep 7:

I look forward to seeing Kumiko with that wide demon mouth.

[Itlandm]

OK, we have a situation to consider here. The people who watch Japanese TV (or raws) are now discussing Ep 7, while those who only watch subs are still at Ep 4. I have seen in some threads that this has not worked out too well. But so far we are holding up good.

I think we should all agree to put all but the most general remarks in spoiler tags from now on, like the last few posters have done. That way the fansub crowd can catch up later, if they prefer not to be spoiled. It is a small thing to do, and some of the things are really big spoilers to those still chasing that train. ^_^

[Kaoru Chujo]

I agree totally. We raw-watchers have to be really careful not to spoil things.

Koshimizu Ami (Tenko) has an active photo-blog. I think she posts from her cell phone. The two main subjects appear to be friends and food. Here's a photo of her from the blog, with a figure of (Ashita no) Nadja, her first role. It is probably still her most famous role, too -- until now, at least. She wrote that the photo was taken at "a little event" at "a place in Akihabara called Anime Centre." Amisuke (her nickname) turned 20 in February.

[tritoch]

Ami-chan is pretty. very pretty indeed.
edit: here she is cosplaying.

Nice pic. That's her with Kadowaki Mai in their costumes for an event for Lemon Angel Project. I can't resist plugging that show, which I liked more than most people did.

[eggplant]

Ah, spoilers are a serious issue with me, as I have the privilege of watching most of the shows before others, so the least I could do is place it in spoiler tags.

Not that I have read the Kamisama Kazoku novels, so I can only speculate over the future storyline.

I enjoy Kamisama due to its intriguing plot, and the good performance by the voice actors. It's a pity that this shown only on Animax, thereby limiting the numbers of potential viewers, which is a drawback for it to become popular in Japan.

Since people are posting Kamisama seiyuu images, here is my entry. From left to right: Kanda Akemi (Meme), Koshimizu Ami (Tenko), Kishio Daisuke (Samatarou), Touma Yumi (Misa), and Katsuragi Nanaho (Venus).

Ami-chan is pretty. very pretty indeed.

Is it me, or is she also very tall? In all her pics, she seems to tower over everyone else.

[lavielove]

That's true. A fan site says she's 168cm tall, or about 5'6", and weighs 48kg (~105lb). So she's tall in context. Good pic of the cast from eggplant.

[Itlandm]

I though about warning not to look at her picture because she looks too sweet. But I was too late. It is dangerous for our sanity when such a sweet girl voices such a lovable character as Tenko! Now we risk getting as addicted to Ami-chan as we are to Tenko. That is a scary thought...

[Likely]

this show deserves higher priority with the subbing groups.

[Itlandm]

Well, it's not exactly the next Naruto. It is just another high school romantic comedy, and those go 15 on the dozen. Kamikazo is more original than most, that's true, but with the beginning looking as silly as it did, I am not surprised most groups stood it up. Also it is based on novels rather than on manga, so it wasn't well known.

But when there's just one fansub group, it becomes vulnerable to problems such as now with the trouble orz is having.

[npal]

What kind of trouble is orz having? Hope they don't drop the series, there's no one else working on it and I hate to drop a series in the middle.

[physics223]

Chikushou, come back! I don't mind if your 20 lines are unsubbed; it seems orz is having a difficult time as well, so it's just not you.
