Mike McFarland was the first director to cast me in my lower register voice. I had never utilized it before but he saw my range before even I did and helped me so much in the beginning of my voice acting career. I’ll forever cherish the memories. 🕯️
Legendary anime voice actor Mike McFarland has died aged 56
He was best known for Master Roshi in Dragon Ball Z, as well as major roles in Attack on Titan, One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist
i very intentionally pick and choose what criticism/hate i respond to and y’all should too! i appreciate the thought but you don’t need to go to bat for me. people are allowed to dislike what they want and there will always be bad faith takes not worth engaging with
BoA is one of the few K-pop artists out there to sing an Opening Theme Song for an Anime.
To this day she still sings Fairy Tail's Opening 'Masayume Chasing' Live perfectly synced with the Anime Version.
If you read this, I'd be happy if you read the whole thing.
Hololive English came into being just about 6 years ago...wow, how time flies.
We've done and accomplished so much together. There were a lot of mountains we climbed, back when there were just 5 of us. And then our numbers grew! We were 6, then 11...eventually 20 at one point. But the thing that never changed, was that we struggled together as a group and pushed through those times, together. There were so many hellos and goodbyes, and we shared all of them as one entity.
As the very first talent to ever debut from that group, it's an odd feeling saying a final goodbye to the name "Hololive English." And things will look different on the outside, for sure. They may even BE different, but I choose to view it in a positive way, as that is all I can do. In my heart, we are always Hololive English- the same English speaking group that came together to challenge the boundaries beyond Japan, to promote a space where creators like us could thrive!! I think we did a really great job of that. And not just HoloEN; our friends in HoloID as well are to be included in that sentiment.
But from here on out, now is the beginning of a new journey where we can push past the barriers of language and become even closer with our JP and ID friends as one whole "Hololive." Regardless of what words we speak. This is my greatest hope! The mission to spread Hololive globally does not end here at all. It continues, with great force, even!! I think we'll just do it in a more unified way. And I'd love to communicate even further with JP dead beats as well- so many new friends and faces, waiting to be met, even now!!
The main takeaway, however, is this: I will always look out for our international members, without exception. If we are to be joined by more someday, I will treat them as not only Hololive, but will look after them the same was as I have EN. Even if they are not called that. That's just how I'm doing things!!!
I will stay positive and continue to smile as I race to achieve my ultimate goals, with the same friends I've always stood beside!! Thank you, Hololive!! Thank you, dead beats!!
An exciting future together yet awaits, I just know it.

It’s my 20-year anniversary today 🥹 I made my first YouTube account TWO DECADES ago. Sep 4th 2006… I was just 14 years old with a dream I didn’t know how to reach… I wish I could go back in time and tell her that we did. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting me all these years. Whether you’re a new fan or you’ve been here from the very beginning, thank you. Here’s to many more! 🥂🦋
Nobody talks about it because the final OVA is never included on streaming sites (Insane because it's the end of the story) but KLK has a perfect ending
Happy 14th anniversary to my cover of Crossing Field, the cover that changed my life. Back when this blew up, I was pursuing a different career path in college because I thought surely I could never do music… Nearly 25 MILLION views later 🥹 I’m so beyond thankful
We just lost another legend today 😔
Anime just lost a veteran behind Akira, Death Note, Naruto and today’s biggest isekai titles.
Director and animator Yūji Yanase has passed away at 59. His death was announced today by the production committees behind The Insipid Prince’s Furtive Grab for the Throne and The World’s Strongest Rearguard, two currently airing anime he directed. Their staffs expressed deep gratitude for his work and sorrow over his sudden passing.
Yanase spent decades working across nearly every level of anime production. His extensive credits included:
• Akira — In-Between Animation
• Death Note — Key Animation
• Hellsing — Animation Director
• Chobits — Animation Director
• Naruto: Shippuden — Episode Direction
• Pokémon XY — Episode Direction
• Macross 7 — Key Animation
• Aria the Animation — Animation Director
• Symphogear — Animation Director
• Saint Seiya Omega — Animation Director
He later became especially known as a series director, leading anime including In Another World With My Smartphone, If It’s for My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat a Demon Lord, By the Grace of the Gods, In the Land of Leadale, My Unique Skill Makes Me OP Even at Level 1, I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History, and Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra. His directing career began with Himegoto in 2014.
His final chapter is especially bittersweet, with two series under his direction still airing when news of his passing was announced.
Rest in peace, Yūji Yanase. From animator to director, his work quietly became part of decades of anime history. 🕊️
People need to stop automatically masculinizing black girls/women.
In what way are Aika and Zira Stud4Stud
Like look at them. I don't understand.. (actually I do the answer is most definitely partial racism)
Three days took six legends, but decades of memories remain 🕊️
Between August 24 and 26, entertainment said goodbye to names whose work reached completely different generations.
Dolly Parton — A country music giant whose Jolene, 9 to 5, and I Will Always Love You became standards, while her philanthropy made her legacy much bigger than music.
Peter Cullen — For more than 40 years, his unmistakable voice gave Optimus Prime his strength, dignity and humanity. He was also beloved as Eeyore.
Tim Curry — Frank-N-Furter, Pennywise, Wadsworth, Nigel Thornberry and countless others. Few performers could be this funny, strange and terrifying across the same career.
Jaye P. Morgan — A successful singer who later became one of television’s most memorable personalities as a regular judge on The Gong Show.
Samuel Monroe Jr. — A familiar face from ’90s Black cinema through Menace II Society, Tales from the Hood, Set It Off and The Players Club.
Debbie “Storm” Clark — One of the unforgettable competitors who helped make American Gladiators larger than life for ’90s audiences.
A song. A voice. A character. A movie. A childhood memory.
That’s how people remain long after the dates beside their names stop changing.
Gone in the past three days, but permanently written into the things generations still love. ❤️
