I don't usually rant but I need to blow off some stream.
I just came to know that veteran seiyuu Sakurai Takahiro was caught cheating on his wife for 10 years with a writer of his radio show. The mistress had no idea that he was married as seiyuus are very good at hiding their marriage from paparazzi, his marriage was disclosed last month and the cheating was disclosed today.
What's worse is that the mistress really had no idea about him being married and actually thought she would be marrying him and oh my god...how can a person just downgrade so much to the point they feel the need to cheat on their spouse FOR 10 FEAKING YEAR And play with other people's hearts.
Due to the shock the mistress was h0spitalized and she is in deep tra uma.
Another worse thing is that seiyuu stans are making it all about anime which just proves that wow, fans sometimes are the reason for an artist's downfall like you telling me you are more worried about Getou's voice getting replaced than the fact that the voice behind Getou literally cheated on his spouse for 10yrs and played with mistress's heart and gave her so much shock to the point she was sent to h0spital???
Not everything is about anime and your favorite character, open your eyes and read the fucking room. This man caused so many trouble for his agency, wife, poor mistress, all the contracts of collab and solo work he had with different companies and what not.
Absolutely disappointed and disgusted to know that people like him even exist.
Oh, how masculinities change through times and target audiences...
Historical Hijikata & Kondō VS Moeyo Ken (1966) VS Hakuōki (2008--)
Furthermore, there seems to be a general consensus that Hijikata had/must have a deep voice which can lead to Hijikata-actors adjusting their voices in ways that look and sound unnatural...
Example: Kurizuka Asahi in Moeyo Ken (1966) & Nakamura Yuichi in Hakuōki: Sweet School Life (2015)
Moeyo Ken (1966) is the adaptation of the book of the same name which was mentioned in an academic paper that compared the book to Gintama. I uploaded an extract of the paper here.
You can watch the movie for free (with English subtitles) on archive.org.
(This topic about masculinities and representation of historical figures through time and target audience might be something for you @scarletfantasia.)
The bonus comic depicting the second year students during their time as part timers will be voiced and come as part of the package for the deluxe JJK 0 DVD.

My SEIYUU FAN CAST for Transformers characters (Part 1)
Seiyuus like Genda & Kimura dubbed TF characters in Japanese before, so I decided to make a list of seiyuus who will fit to voice the characters! I also included notable anime/game roles done by each seiyuu
