seiyuu + stuff
It seems it’s the time of the year for that Saimoe tourney-thingy again but thankfully I’ve not had my Google Reader clogged up with all those ’saimooey thingamajigs’ (yet). I would’ve thought that by now most people will have tired of the whole thing… but apparently not.

-The summer anime season’s already started? Gee, I had no idea.
-Kanbe Miyuki is now dead. Jeebus, she’s the same age as me T_T
-WaiWai is gone. Heck, I loved all that trashy gossip. Didn’t change my perception of Japan one bit (as in I [...]
