The seiyuu most responsible for making me into an otaku is coming back to anime this fall. Sakura Tange, best known as Sakura-chan of Cardcaptor Sakura (I have all the Japanese manga, all R1 DVDs, and more than a few figures), had stopped seiyuu work in 2000, but now will return in Animal Detectives Kirumins as Kanon Hatori (the blond on the lower right).
I was already looking forward to Kirumins because of the cute character design and concept, but now I can't wait to watch it. The show starts Monday October 5th at 5:30PM on TV Tokyo and is being produced by Satelight, HAL Film Maker (I thought they merged with Yumeta Company to form TYO Animations), and JM Animation. Sakura Tange fans can also hear her in the DS 24-hour girlfriend simulator Love Plus, on sale this Thursday.
