However, no, I”m not stupid and I’ve seen enough anime to know that someone probably survived from the slaughter of Special Agent Team 4. At least that’s what it looks like to me. Or it’s just the tunnel for zombies [...] Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:44:27 -0000 http://animediet.net/anime-reviews/2008-q4-fall/ga-rei-zero-02-the-tie-that-binds I mentioned in my previous post about this great young seiyuu that people say she has "nice legs" but that I couldn't find a photo that showed it. Today a new photo was posted on 2channel that somewhat gets the point across (click to enlarge to 1090x1600) :The first post in reply was: "nice leg" (in English).A later post also struck my eye:"Tomatsu:has no interest in anime or mangaher voice is too characteristic and there is nothing special about her actingshe's not that cuteher voice isn't cuteShe really has none of the elements that would make her a saleable seiyuu. Why did she become a seiyuu, lol?"My answers: Who cares what her interests are if she can do the job? Her voice is pretty recognizable, but that doesn't affect her acting skill. She's cute enough. I don't like the basic quality of her voice, either, but the way she uses it in Kannagi is amazing.I can only imagine that the 2channel poster hasn't watched Kannagi yet. I'm about to see episode 2 and will report back later.

The Xbox LIVE Xperts program is currently led by local blogger Sheylara, who has become the face of the local Xbox team to help build a vibrant online community. The initiative has generated a strong positive response from local gamers and if you’ve always wanted to be part of the Xbox team, now is your chance to be the next Xpert! Xbox Singapore is now calling for video entries from potential Xperts and the winner will be announced at X08. Log on to www.xperts.com.sg for more details. Lara Croft takes on Singapore Lara Croft, the fearless adventurer from Tomb Raider series is making a special appearance at X08. Featuring the essential characteristics at the core of Lara Croft’s personality -- brawn, brains and beauty - Alison Carroll particularly compliments this iteration of Ms. Croft. One of the top draws of X08, Tomb Raider: Underworld is the first Tomb Raider game designed to fully reflect the physical athleticism and real-world skills required of a world-class adventurer. Sharing Lara’s strength and grace, Alison is an experienced competitive gymnast who has performed and competed across the globe. Her more than 12 years of gymnastics training align perfectly with the game’s enhanced movement set and you can expect some high-kicking action at X08!
