CD Japan seiyuu poll

CD Japan is holding a seiyuu poll.

Where voice dubbers are the unsung heros/heroines of the entertainment industry in most places, in Japan they are decorated celebrities! Dating back from 2007 (do take a walk down memory lane back to 2007 懐かしです!), the Annual Seiyuu awards have been making its rounds to recognise great seiyuus for their hardwork. ご苦労さまでした, 声優さま-たち! 1st Seiyuu annual awards (2007) 2nd Seiyuu annual awards (2008) 3rd Seiyuu annual awards (2009) 4th Seiyuu annual awards (2010) Speaking of seiyuus, I have got to mention a character, Itachi-san, who is the coolest character (anime or real-life) that I have ever seen/known!!! (I've googled, there is one and only Itachi I talking about, no other shows uses this name) And 石川英郎さん who made this character own-ed! At this point of time, if you do not know Itachi-san, or even heard of it, hmmm you should really do 切腹. Reading the rest of the article can wait. Just click on the seppuku wiki link for a complete list of instructions :) 岸本sensei の ナルトNARUTO is one of the popular (japanese) MANGAs in the WORLD. The genre is a bit different from the Anime of recent days, which seeks quick laughs, smart-alecks, moe content, and the obnoxious fanservice. NARUTO (the series) seldom amuses (so much), maybe Kishimoto-san wants to differentiate it from the rest. What is in for us are the fights, I could tell Kishimoto-san and the whole animation production crew did quite a lot of research into fighting techniques, with Neji's Juuken and Lee's Drunken Fist originating from popular chinese martial arts. The animation work is smooth, impact is forceful - just how many times did they re-watched and re-watched Jackie Chan's movies for that? (LOL) The popularity proves it. Yes. And why is the show called NARUTO? Because the show is basically deriving entertainment from kicking Naruto and his clones' asses![citation needed] Kishimoto's Itachi is too complex for anyone to understand; comprehend fully, even maybe to Kishi himself as well. Haha. There are just too many loopholes. Just when I thought I got everything ironed out, immediately another fact pops up to challenge it. A few examples: So Itachi can kill everyone, his father, mother, girlfriend(that is what Uchiha Madara added, but we don have any other evidence that Itachi has one) but can't bear to kill his brother? What logic is that? This, my common sense of human behaviour quickly countered : 'Oh he must have regretted so much after killing his parents that he can't bear to finish his brother.' (Augument) So Itachi's reason of wiping out his whole clan is for the bigger picture - the whole village's safety itself? To put it bluntly, why would one care? At first thought, mathematically, it may be the most logical; selfless decision, but who can actually justify that with the killing of OWN family/clan! If he is really that rightous, why is he helping Akatsuki to collect the bijuus for Pain's ultimate WMD jutsu? And how many more people have he killed since he joined Akatsuki? (Counter-Augument) He might have joined Akatsuki just to prevent that from happening? And to be a deterent force (as stated in the story) to protect Sasuke from the shadows? (Counter-counter-augument) Given Akatsuki's strength, he must have thought of the possibility of him failing. Then what? He would have just helped them for free! And always taking Sasuke on a ride to the deepest depths of despair/desperation, isn't he worried of driving him crazy? Kishimoto's later revelation of Itachi even pleading with the Sandaime(from Madara's account) to protect Sasuke just doesn't go along with that! He should have kept Sasuke away from the ninja world wherever possible, if he wanted to truly protect him. Itachi, who I would like to assume, like Sesshoumaru, who don't give a damn about his brother. In fact, his own theory of letting Sasuke live is only for the sake of getting his eyes, fits in better! Muhahaha!!! Damn why must humans be so contradicting? One part of me wished he is the good guy, another part thinks the bad guy is cooler! There are zillions of Itachi character analysis out there. I am dizzy just browsing through them. Here is a very good one. From zapenstap. (It's a super long article!) Saying Itachi is a social outcast and he hates interactions, possessing a superiority complex, is a bit too far (haha). While not entirely impossible, his ability to defeat almost anybody in the series without a sweat sure complements that theory nicely. But surely Itachi is too cool for that! Nevertheless, it is an awesome article. Just that Kishimoto (and me) didn't quite like this idea too much! (ha) A re-cap how great Itachi is...

I bet its embarrasing to shout like a madman in a studio. So out of character! But that really scared me, Hideo-san!
