Filler Post: D&A’s Top 5 Anime Voice Actors! (The Female Edition!)

Whew! Here we are again guys n’ gals; with our female edition of our previous post that highlighted our Top 5 male anime voice actors. Just like the guys that fans love so much, there are some awesome gals that have made names for themselves in the voice acting business as well. So without further delay, here’s our Top 5 ladies behind the mic…

Number 5: Stephanie Sheh

Coming in at number five on our Top 5 list, is the one an only Hyuga heiress herself; Stephanie Sheh. Many of us already know her as Naruto’s wife as well as Sailor Moon in the re-dub of the cult classic known as Sailor Moon Crystal. For any Fire Emblem fans out there (no matter what installment you’ve played), you may have heard Stephanie as the Dark Mage known as Tharja. From anime to video games Stephanie Sheh has made a name for herself in various titles that many of her fans known, and love her for.

Number 4: Luci Christian

There are several handfuls of roles tied to her name, but one role fans may know her by, would be everyone’s favorite goddess in DanMachi – Hestia! Other roles include Asuna in Negima!, Medusa in Soul Eater, Makina Hoshimura in Corpse Princess, and more! She brings a lot of personality to any and every character she plays, so be sure to look out for her in future anime titles.

Number 3: Alexis Tipton

Rosario+Vampire fans already know her as Moka Akashia, but Alexis has done so many more titles since then. You may have heard her in The Sacred Blacksmith, Sekirei, Shiki, and many others. You can also hear her voice in a few video games that you may (or may not) own, of course we’re not one to spoil which titles you might’ve heard her in. (That decision we leave up to you.)

Number 2: Jamie Marchi

We’re pretty much gonna go ahead and throw these titles out there; Soul Eater, Shuffle!, Sekirei, My Hero Academia, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, Shimonetta, Danganronpa: The Animation and Danganronpa 3. If you’ve seen any of these titles, then you already know which character(s) Jamie has voiced. Aside from voice acting, she’s also a writer and director for some of those shows as well as other series.

Number 1: Monica Rial

One of the legendary ladies of the voice acting world, and voices the cuter half of the Anarchy Sisters (Panty & Stocking). You can also hear her in the same titles that her partner Jamie is in, in fact many fans call the two of them ‘Jamonica’ which we believe is a fusion of both of their names. Monica is also a writer for many of the shows she in, as well as made a live-action appearance in one title in particular. She is also one of the most prolific voice actresses in the world and also called ‘The Queen of Voices’. With almost (if not) 20 years worth of titles to her name; including video games, Monica Rial is truly one-of-a-kind.

That will do it for our Top 5 filler post as well as all of the posts of the week! Next week we’ll be back with brand new posts, and we’ll keep you updated on what’s next on our front. Until next time, stay cool! ๐Ÿ™‚

 

D&A Anime Blog: Updates, Cancellations, and What’s on the Horizon!

Hey guys n’ gals! We’re hoping that you all had a great 4th of July last night, and didn’t do anything too dangerous. So here we are halfway through 2018 (as hard as that is to believe), and it’s only a matter of time before our three-year anniversary comes up in January. We don’t know what we’re going to do yet for that celebration, but what we do have is a few updates on what’s going to be happening for the remainder of the year. Some of it’s good news, and some of its bad news, but at the end of the day, we want our fans to know how much we love them for all of the support that they’ve been giving us.

During the creative process of what we wanted D&A Anime Blog to be, we wanted to have a few things that made us stood out from all the rest. One of the founding members of D&A, Donte’ Jamal Lewis, has been producing music between 2008-2014 through a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) known as MAGIX; great for Hip-Hop or Electronic Music Producers. He took a hiatus in Spring 2014 to take Music Production classes in college, now he’s prepared to take his newfound knowledge of Mixing, Mastering, Compression and Limiting, and use it to create new music.

With that being said, we’ll finally be able to purchase a DJ controller (the Pioneer DDJ-1000) for Lewis, as he takes on the name Spindraulics in celebration of unlocking this achievement! A new page containing both original music and DJ mixes from Spindraulics (Lewis) will be making its way to the blog January 2019!

Now for a little bit of bad news; we won’t be able to attend Anime Festival Orlando this year, so to our fans who live in Orlando, Florida who follow us on social media, we apologize that we won’t be able to make it this time. This however doesn’t mean that we won’t go to AFO in the future. As for our fan fiction menu (if you haven’t already heard the news), we’ll be removing the current title Sonic Beatdown: Danganronpa Silver, and replace it with Sonic Beatdown: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. We’ll keep you updated on when it will be making its way to the blog, and what the story will be about.

Next year we may be temporarily pulling back a bit on convention appearances (only going to about 2-3/year) in order to find new ways to market and advertise what we do (i.e. Reddit, Instagram, and more). This doesn’t mean that we love our fans any less, its just with the rising costs of reliable transportation these days, it’s kinda hard to manage appearances on an out-of-pocket budget. In spite of this we’ll be working on getting sponsorships and figuring out ways to sell our brand merchandise, and (possibly) open up a kickstarter page.

And that ladies and gentlemen, is our updates for today! More filler posts coming soon!

D&A Anime Blog: July Anime Cons (Part 1 of 2)!!

We may have a massive heatwave happening in our neck of the woods, but hopefully you guys will get the chance to cool down with these cool cons we’ve found while cruising the web. Tonight our anime convention locations are in the Southwest and Westbound regions of North America. If you ever get the chance to go to these conventions, feel free to send us some cosplay pictures if you would like them to be displayed on our Fan Cosplay Pics! ๐Ÿ™‚
