Voice Actor Web

Now this is only for all you manga fans. If your not, then skip straight to the next blog post that is non-existant at this point in time, as you may not get who all these people are...

Just as a reference. I was originally going CONSPIRACY?! But no, I don't think so.


Ok, I did originally have a brainstorm type thing going on, but as much as I magnified it, it didn't work. Fail yes?


So I'm going to have to tell you about it. Not exactly as I had intended, but that's alright.


Alright so I got this idea while watching Ouran High School Host Club anime, which is my new favourite shojo manga. Yes it beats Cardcaptors (liked the anime better), Vampire Knight, Shugo Chara and Full Moon... (however it does seem to go on and on...). For those still reading this, it's about this girl called Haruhi and she got into this posh rich school on a scholarship. While trying to find a study room, she stumbles on the Host Club, a club where these guys 'spend time with beautiful rich women with too much time on their hands' aka 'randomly charm women who swoon and faint while talking to the hosts'. She accidently breaks an 8 million yen vase. To pay off her debt, she has to become a host (she got mistaken for a guy by the host club at first anyway) and pretend to be a guy. Cue chaos.


Moving on, I noticed that one of the main characters, by the name of Tamaki Suoh...

(aka this guy:


Yes I know, random roses that seem to appear from nowhere yes? Well he's the King/President of the Host club. And a drama queen.)



...sounded a bit like this guy...
(aka Edward Elric, one of, if not the best Edward in the whole frigging world *YOU HEARD ME!!!*, genuis, supposed midget (he's taller than me... *headdesk*), alchemist from Full Metal Alchemist. FMA is about 2 boys, Edward and Alphonse Elric, who live in an alternate world, where instead of science, alchemy is used to create, try to resurrect their dead mother, but fail, losing parts (Ed) and all (Al) of their bodies. They become part of the military and try to unravel the secrets surrounding the philosopher's stone, and the mysterious Homunculi.)

and I found out they have the same English voice actor by the name of Vic Micnogna. I think I spelt it wrong. (AHHHHHHHHHHH)



And he also does this guy too:



aka Fai D. Flowright of Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles (In a nutshell: Sakura, Princess of Clow, loses her memories in the form of feathers, and her love Syaoran along with Fai, Kurogane and Mokona Midoki go to search for her feathers through the worlds.)

He also plays Daxter of Jak and Daxter. I think.


Going back to Tamaki, his Japanese voice actor, Mamoru Miyano, also plays:


Light Yagami from Death Note (a boy finds a notebook where if you write the name of someone in it, they die. He soon becomes Kira a vigilante serial killer who in the end controls most of Japan, while still being part of the detective force trying to find Kira).





and also Zero Kiryuu (:D) from Vampire Knight (Yuuki, at a small age was orphaned. She was also rescued by Kaname Kuran from a rouge vampire. She now lives with her adopted brother Zero and her adopted father, headmaster of Cross Academy. Cross Academy has two classes: Day class for humans and Night Class for Vampires. Yuuki and Zero must make sure no one in the Day Class must know about the Night Class. However, her world seems to turn upside down when she finds out that Zero is a vampire himself.)


Oh and while we are on a roll here, I'd like to also mention that Ed's Japanese Voice Actor, Romi Park, also plays Toshiro Hitsugaya from Bleach (Ichigo Kurosaki has always been able to see ghosts, however, one night he meets Rukia Kuchiki, a Shinigami, or person who purifies ghosts and helps them go to the other side, and gets turned into a Shinigami. After Rukia gets taken prisoner, he must go rescue her.)






Now I suppose your asking, "Sylvia, why did you just show me this?" and also, "Um, I already kinda knew that. It's plain freaking obvious n00b."

Well, for all those not so educated with seiyuus and voice actors of the anime world, i.e. most of the people I know, I thought this was something interesting that you might find interesting. So there.

Meh fine whatever, that was a waste of time...
