: Seiyuu Wank! =D
This is small and a little old (and over with) but it concerns the fandom of a singer and seiyuu I used to be incredibly obsessed with, and this amused me too much not to post. (And I figured, being a member and lurker of f_w since last summer, that it was time to pop my f_w cherry. Heh.)
Megumi Ogata is a very, very talented seiyuu in anime. Among her most notable roles are Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho, Haruka (or Sailoruranus, from, durrrr, Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon), Shinji from Evangelion, and Yukito from Card Captor Sakura. Hands down, she rocks.
Many of her English-speaking fans are quite convinced that since she tends to do male voices - never mind the fact that she can do girly voices and children, (e.g. Emeraude from Rayearth and Child Mamoru from the Sailormoon R movie, respectively) - she's a lesbian. And consequently, they think she's hot because of that. (Idiots. *eyeroll*)
On the first of April, Ogata-san writes a message to her fans (in Japanese) that she has recently gotten married to a (male) office worker thirteen years younger than she is. She also reveals that they have been living together for five years.
The Megumi Ogata Club at Yahoo!Groups go nuts because, OmG nOoOoOoOoOo, it lieK HAS 2 B aN 4pr1l f0o1z jOke ri73?!?! She wouldn't do this to her fans 'cause she knows that being a lesbian is why people love her!!!1111eleventyone111ichigostrawberry
Er. Yes. Anyway. *cough*
Turns out it is true, and not an April Fool's prank. Ah, well. The little fangirlies debate it anyway.
( Especially memorable wanky AND non-wanky little quotes. )
