HEY CAN SOMEONE ELSE WATCH THIS SO I HAVE SOMEONE TO SCREAM ABOUT IT WITH

SAKURASOU NO PET NA KANOJO

SYNOPSIS: Kanda Sorata found himself ‘trapped’ inside Sakura Hall after getting himself ‘kicked out’ of the regular dorms for taking care of stray cats and bringing them over. He find it hard to fit in and blend with his new dorm mates who are somewhat weird and eccentric. Nanami, his closest friend told him to find new owners for the stray cats so he can go back to the regular dorms soon.  However, he started to hesitate on going back to the regular dorms after meeting the beautiful Shiina Mashiro, a world class artist who moved in to Sakura Hall. He discovers that his talent can support Mashiro’s and so is she and that working together may help him achieve his dream as a game developer. As they spend time and give it their all to achieve their dreams, Sorata developed romantic feelings for Mashiro but Mashiro doesn’t look like she’s interested on anything other than building a career as a mangaka. Will Sorata be able to make Mashiro look at his direction?

How did you get into seiyuu? How long have you been into seiyuu?

I guess I'm kind of curious now because of something that came up on the seiyuu discord. I’m asking the people on Reddit so I figured I might as well ask the people here too! 

[REDDIT THREAD]

My answer: I personally got into seiyuu because I watched American voice actors in American cartoons like Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb, etc. I got into seiyuu (Japanese voice actors) around four years ago. I was originally into American voice actors in American cartoons like Dee Bradley Baker, Tom Kenny, Grey DeLisle, and Kari Wahlgren. When I started watching anime in high school, I started to be interested in the voices there too! I was really surprised that seiyuu sing, dance, and do other things. Usually, American voice actors do small time acting gigs and things. I later learned about character songs and idols. I'm actually still not completely used to idol culture. I enjoy watching seiyuu though! It's interesting to know the people behind your favourite characters. 

Please respond by reblogging this with a response or commenting!

I’ll be including some responses below! 

I’ll be editing for clarity, and I will be bolding and putting italics for the seiyuu names and put regular italics for the anime.

SomaSaiba: “When I kept hearing the same voices in different anime. I looked up who it was and it was Yoshitsugu Matsuoka. But that was the first time I searched for a seiyuu but didn’t get into it.

Then I was watching Overlord and Clementine’s performance was so crazy and good, I had to look up which seiyuu voiced her. Turns out it was Aoi Yuuki and was blown away when I realized she also voiced Froppy from My Hero Academia and Madoka from Madoka Magica. And that was the time I started to get into seiyuu.”

grimmscool: “I don't remember why or how but I stumbled into AGQR (A&G+) site around 4~5 years ago. It was Asumi Kana's radio playing and it was somewhat fascinating. She talked about her recent events and one of them is about her role in Working! anime. That one sparked my interest and I decided to google her name. I was surprised that a voice actor/actress is doing a job other than voicing character.

After that, I went to YouTube and tried to look for other seiyuu radio. I randomly select one and the next thing showed up in my recommendation was Durarara Radio (Hanazawa Kana and Toyonaga Toshiyuki). I listened to that and it was unexpectedly hilarious!! From there, it was a freefall, a fun one. I finished a playlist of full-size Durarara Radio in a week or less, and my YouTube recommendation was full of seiyuu radio, anime radio clip, and livestream back then. Aside from YouTube, I also tried to explore AGQR and met with various radio by seiyuu, such as Yahagi Sayuri and Sakura Ayane's Choroi, Iguchi Yuka's muuun, etc etc.”

Seiyuu's internet radio and other seiyuu related contents are becoming part of my routine since then, even now.”

RooNelo: “It started for me maybe 6 years ago. I was watching Oreshura and Ai Kayano’s voice acting really caught my attention. It was the first time I really listened instead of just reading the subs. From then on, I couldn’t ignore the talent of seiyuu. Accumulating a list of favourite ones led to me checking out radio and event clips on YouTube. That just added another layer of enjoyment beyond their anime roles.”

kayano_ai: “Maybe 2012 or 2013 so ~6 to 7 years by now. My friend who was into seiyuu talked about them a lot and since I was watching a lot of anime at the time I got into it naturally as well. Seiyuu stuff has really gotten bigger and is marketed much more now, even compared to only 6 years ago [in my opinion].”

AntonKutovoi: “I guess it started with Musou games and One Piece, wherein a good chunk of episodes I went "Hey! That voice sounds familiar!". So I eventually started remembering names of the voice actors, and later started to find out other activities, like character songs, events and stage plays.”

14hellraiser: “Since my first anime (2015). I loved [Hanazawa] Kana's voice and ended up following her. When I realized it I knew tens of seiyuu and was deciding what to watch based on them

I now regret having wasted shows like Dragon Ball when I was a kid. I watched the original version recently and it was a million times better than those shitty dubs”

Nagareboshi12: “For me, I can't really remember when that time No Game No Life was airing, and I noticed the voice actor for Sora (Matsuoka Yoshitsugu) and Shiro (Kayano Ai) have the same voice for Sorata and Shiina in Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo. I started to google and read about their biographies. I start to adore them because I watch a lot of anime, and I didn't recognize them at that time. Then the No Game No Life radio came, and I also join the Matsuoka x Kayano ship.”

dend08: “dunno when but I believe it's quite recent, I think it's because of this one video about how Sugita Tomokazu respects Yukana so much. That got me interested in other seiyuu as well.”

AoHime: “Always had an interest but never got into it till 2017. Stumbled upon the Konosuba event with Fukushima Jun and Takahashi Rie and the FGO radio. That started it and then started following other people, Tokyo Encounter, etc and thus here.”

ii-naa: “After a long hiatus from not watching anime (I loved Chobits, Sakura Wars, and Honey & Clover when I was a kid), I started on K-On! because of one tiny bit of Led Zeppelin reference they had in one episode and got freaking hooked. After that, I wanted to watch more anime with the same voice actresses and from there I got to Oreimo (Ayana Taketasu, Satomi Sato), Hanasaku Iroha (Aki Toyosaki), A-Channel (Minako Kotobuki), and Inu x Boku SS (Yoko Hikasa). Since then it kinda spiralled; Oreimo introduced me to Nakamura Yuichi, Hanazawa Kana, and Hayami Saori which then turns to watch Hyouka (all K-On! main members bonus!). I could go endlessly on tracing them all, but I guess you got the gist of things.

Though the anime that made me fell deeper into the seiyuu rabbit hole is Durarara and the fact that they have a fully English subbed seiyuu event on YouTube. Respect to the translator. Definitely, an ensemble cast of seiyuu that anime has.”

1. Where do you want to live when you grow up? Japan!

2. What languages do you know? Want to know? English, Mandarin, and currently learning Japanese!

3. Was there ever a time where you felt like everything was over? About 3 years ago when my friends left me, my health weakened, my grades dropped and my family was full of quarrels, I thought to myself that I no longer want to be alive and tried to commit suicide.

4. How is/was your school life? I am most of the time lonely. I am weird and too much of an alien to socialise properly.

5. Social butterfly? Definitely not.

6. Continuation of ^, do you like being around people? Or would you rather be alone? I prefer to be alone or with a small group of friends. But if I were to tell the truth, I find objects more interesting than people.

7. What’s your top five fandoms and two OTPs from each?

Kuroko no Basket : Akakuro, Kuroaka (I am a trash) 

Naruto : Minakaka, Kakairu

Nisekoi : Raku x Chitoge, Shuu x Ruri

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo : Sorata x Shiina, Jin x Misaki

Shokugeki no Soma : Soma x Megumi, Soma x Erina

8. How did you find out about tumblr? I remembered seeing a lot of funny screenshots about tumblr and decided to check it out. Upon discovering that it places things in chronological order and allows tagging and tag searches, I installed it to track my drawing progress.

9. Do you have any friends you can HONESTLY call your BEST friend? I... don’t know. Probably not. Like I said, I am an alien.

10. Online friends or real friends? Which group do you find yourselves liking better? I met very nice people online. And I feel more comfortable expressing myself online, so I would say that I like online better. But I have some nice friends in real life too, I guess.

11. Was there ever a time in your life where you felt as if a friend was being extremely irrational and making you feel bad when it wasn’t your fault? What did you do about it? Ah yes... that was this one moment...but it was somewhat my fault. I had trouble pronouncing certain chinese characters. Have had since I was a child. In a group presentation, my teacher pointed it out and my project partner was so worried about her grade that she got mad and scolded me for not pronouncing words properly and (possibly) causing her grade to drop. I didn’t do much except staying silent and listen to her hurtful words. I stopped speaking mandarin in public after that. The teacher didn’t deduct a lot of marks though.

Here are my questions:

1. Which country do you plan to go or live in? 2. Ever hope to meet your life partner? 3. Current goal? 4. Top 3 favourite anime and most favourite OTP 5. One thing embarrassing about yourself? 6.

I know, right? I want to ship him with Aoyama so hard that it hurts, it's not even funny. But, in the end, I have to ship him with Shiina. This was my most painful OTP decision ever.

I love Aoyama's character so much and that is why I prefer that ship, but I am really afraid that I will get into the ship that doesn't go canon like I did with Toradora. 

[pamayapaya]

I really really want a TodoDeku fanfic in a Pet Girl of Sakurasou AU

[pamayapaya]

Okay but my favorite straight ship dynamic is when the guy falls for a super weird girl not IN SPITE of her weirdness, but BECAUSE of her weirdness

For example:

Anne and Gilbert from Anne with an E

Peter and MJ from the MCU Spiderman movies

Luna and Harry from the Harry Potter series (even if they weren’t canon)

Mashiro and Sorata from the Pet Girl of Sakurasou

Beast Boy and Raven from Teen Titans

Quinn Pensky and Logan Reese from Zoey 101

Sonia Nevermind and Gundham Tanaka from Danganronpa

P.S feel free to add more guys, I really love ships like these

[pamayapaya]

Can uhhhh more people watch Pet girl of Sakurasou so it’s not just me and three other people in this fandom
