I just watched an entire 35-minute interview/show with the four Weiss seiyuu... not dubbed or subtitled. NO bloody idea what the heck they were saying the whole time, apart from character names. LOL But wow... talk about adorable men! And Koyasu Takehito in a slimming sweater with a high neck- I could have died. And Yuuki Hiro in shorts as he does a reading. Awwwwwww could have tackled him with hugs! Way too adorable!! NO idea what they were saying.

Oh, but Koyasu Takehito's voice... can I hire him to just sit on my bed and talk about nothing in particular? *sigh*
What adorable guys! They have such beautifully serious expressions when they're talking about their characters and story arcs and things. It's really lovely. And when they laugh! Awwwwwwwwwww!!! Looks like they have such fun doing the voices together! Okay, so they probably want to make it look like fun when there are cameras in their faces. But they really are adorable.

Wish I could actually understand them :-)

*SQUEE* Oh, where did you find this? I've seen the seiyuu chats at the end of the fansubs (and was so glad that they subtitled them at the end of the commercial DVDs) and was in heaven during those (Yuuki-san talking about wanting to do voice work for Star Wars, Koyasu-san with his giraffe, the squeaky mallet jan-ken-pon game...wai!), but this doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard of.

I am jealous of Yuuki Hiro's legs. Just had to say that. And he flutters. It's just too cute!

So, Koyasu is in your seiyuu harem? ;) Have you heard him in any of his dork roles yet? I'm amazed at the way he can go from dead sexy to a complete and total dork.

Okay...I think my cousins and my sempai have Kazaa and a decent-speed connection...I will have to bat my eyes really prettily. Thanks for the info!

I don't remember which of the fansubbers had popped the seiyuu chats at the end (raw...fun to watch but I couldn't understand 3/4 of what they were saying), but the commercial release DVDs #2-5 put them on at the end, with subtitles (for which I was most grateful). If you don't have access to them, I can see if I can dub the chats off to VHS...

Actually, Sakano-san from Gravi is pretty high up there on the dork scale. If you can take him there and still have him in your harem, you'll be fine. :)

I'll certainly have to go check out the commercial releases then! Most certainly :-) Thanks for the info!
NP! Always glad to fanpush. There was a box set of the five DVDs just released if you don't have any of them yet (and FYI, deepdiscountdvd.com has the set for $60 instead of the $100 list price...yes, there is a reason why I own a t-shirt with the slogan "Anime: drugs would be cheaper" *grin*).

I'll have to get you some of the Sakano tracks from the Gravi Sound Story #1. I still don't know exactly what they're saying most of the time, but I understand enough to get the plot. And yes, the humor in the middle of the angst in the series did get a little overboard at times ("I'm in the middle of having my heart stomped on! Why are you bouncing off the walls like that?!?"), but in general, I thought it was quite lovely. Another one that sends me in to wibble-mode is the one Angel Sanctuary drama CD that I have. Lots of nice voices there (Koyasu, Ueda Yuji (Kakyou from X TV), Hayami Shou...mmmmm), and none of the humorous stuff. I haven't listened to it since I started taking Japanese, so I don't know if I'd be able to understand any of it, but just hearing the voices was enough to make me a very happy iffer. If I can find it, I'll pop some of the yumminess of that up for you as well.

My sempai's daughter (who is a huge Koyasu fan...celebrates his birthday as a holiday as much as her own, and has made it her goal to see as many of his roles as she can) said that she'd keep an eye out for it. Could I ask what the file name was?

Thank you so very very much for indulging my pathetic fangirlishness (Yuuki in shorts and Koyasu in a high-necked sweater...yum!).

Koyasu Takehito can sit by my bed and whisper sweet nothings to me any day. I love all the Weiss voice actors... Koyasu is sexy, Seki Toshihiko has such personality, and Yuuki Hiro is such a sweetheart I want to snuggle him.

The VA interviews on the Weiss DVDs are awesome if you get the chance to check 'em out.

Non-subbed voice actor talk

ah, the gorgeous voice of Koyasu Takehito...I've loved that voice ever since I first fell in love with my first anime, Fushigi Yugi. Tamahome was my favorite bishounene, but Hotohori had the best voice (and hair)*G*

I totally get a kick out of watching voice actors talk to each other and not having the faintest clue what they're saying. I have DVD copies of the complete series of Yu Yu Hakusho (my favorite anime, with my favorite anime bishounen, Kurama!), and after the end of the last episode, the four main voice actors sit around a table and talk. I love how you get glimpses into the real personality underlying the voice, and it's a blast watching them occasionally slip in and out of character. It takes a bit of getting used to, especially when your favorite bishie is voiced by a woman, even when she is as talented as Ogata Megumi! Is it wrong that I still find Kurama's voice really sexy?...oh well! Not like I can do anything about that.

Kurama! *SWOON* Ogata Megumi is one of the few female seiyuu that I totally have a thing for. Her voice makes me melt, both speaking and singing, and her range is incredible! (It's not wrong at all that you find Kurama's voice sexy. Ghod knows I do...)

I must try to get my hands on a copy of this YYH seiyuu chat, because in addition to Ogata Megumi, Sasaki Nozomu is also just adorable (on the Rurouni Kenshin:Reflection DVD they have seiyuu interviews at the end and he looks like a teddy bear and his voice has matured in to something that is yummy to hear...and speaking of female seiyuu who voice men and have damned sexy voices when they do, Suzukaze Mayo had me boggling when I watched her interviews because she only slipped in to her Kenshin voice once or twice and sounds nothing like him the rest of the time...)!

And I agree about loving to watch the seiyuu interact, especially in something where they mesh as well as they do in Weiss Kreuz. It's one thing to see the characters interacting because it's all scripted, but to just see the seiyuu joke around and just be themselves is much fun.
