There are 2 bonus episodes on the BD for Teekyuu2 and I bet those two audio dramas were also animated. I hope they are full length! Was hoping Stella C3 bu discs would sell better... I enjoy them! Cutie Panther is a solid single and the audio drama (mini) is great too. Glad to see it break 20K. Preserved Roses still selling, was out of stock at amazon for a while. Kamasama inai no Nichiyoubi ED is really well done, good for Mikako Komatsu. Wondering if it will end up on her next album so haven't bought the single myself yet. GuP disc selling well for what it is. I think it's really good even though much is just audio from the BDs. And Shingeki OST must be one of the best selling anime OSTs. Too bad the 2nd one is BD bonus only as I'm not buying that series... |

jmal said: taketori said: How many volumes do short anime need to sell to roughly break even? http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=643523&show=240#msg24232825 Sales for recent short anime. Aiura will hit 2k next week (whether the thresholds are low enough that we actually see it is another question) so putting it at "not bad" for a short show. Break-even is a problematic concept when talking about anime disc sales because the majority of a franchise's revenue is usually not from disc sales. For a series to actually break even (i.e. cover all production costs) on disc sales alone requires pretty high sales. Since we don't know much about the other revenue streams, I'd guess 2k is "probably okay" for Aiura, as long as it also sold some extra manga and other stuff. Recorder to Randoseru went three cour without ever ranking, Morita-san got two cour without ever hitting 1k, Teekyuu got a sequel at not much more than Aiura, etc. Thanks for that link. I guess it all really goes a lot deeper than just disk sales. |

Hell yes! Splash Free is selling yell and same with the Kamisama no Inai OP. Both are very, very good and catchy songs. SnK is still running strong and even though I didn't care for Maou-sama, it's sales are pretty good too and possibly high enough to create a second season. It just seems like the type of show that would get one as well. |

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |

Symphogear's music selling well as usual, sadly it will most likely be one of the only anime I am watching that will sell decently. |

I hope someone translates the Peeping Life Collab of Tezuka and Tatsunoko Pro. It may be nostalgic and all, and I doubt it would interest younger audiences, but ... it's like going home, you know :) Btw, found some of the raw eps on YouTube. Unfortunately, CDJapan doesn't offer it with ENG subs, unlike Arise and Yamato (for those interested) |

She seems to be getting really popular really fast as I hear the name dropped a lot and it's like every time I'm linked to a Japanese variety show talking about anime she's there as the guest host reacting in the corner window. She sort of has that lady voice thing going on that I'm liking with some new female VA's like Sachikawa Misawa, Yoko Hikasa and Aya Endo to name a few. |

The days where a seiyuu only needs to use his/her voice for the trade are gone.

I know she was in this but I like to joke that you only know you've really made it in the anime scene when you've been in a Tales of game. symbv said: Kaioshin_Sama said: Indeed she is Umi.

That's going to make it even tougher for a lot of people then. Personally I don't think you should have to be really attractive in order to be seen as a desirable voice actor/actress, but hey that's sort of the direction anime has been headed in for a while on a meta level. It's hard not to notice how much anime follows the beauty=goodness trope and how even when at first it doesn't appear to be the case you can always pick out the sympathetic villain or the one that is going to switch sides in a group based on appearance alone 9 times out of 10. But wait though, are you saying that Love Live uses some form of motion capture or is there something I'm missing here. Do fans in Japan equate the Love Live characters with their voice actress and vice versa or something then. |

Some more information about the Previous single and the Gravure BD/DVD http://sgcafe.com/2013/05/listen-preview-suzuko-mimoris-single-yakusoku-shiteyo-issho-dayo/ Yes, Mimori is the next generation of seiyuu who is also an idol, singer, movie star, model, MC, etc. |

So the next generation of idols can do almost anything in the entertainment business, I'm surprised this hasn't started earlier. |

Hopefully the next generation of seiyuu get compensated better (talk about stressful things will be 2-5 years from now), but from the looks of things, I doubt it. |

With events such a big thing it is really no surprise that they don't want unpresentable or stage shy seiyuu now. Expecting them all to be idol class may be a bit much though Mimorin certainly qualifies IMO. |

The other question I'm curious about is what does this trend mean for male seiyuu if anything? |
