Popular idol and occasional seiyuu Aya Hirano was recently featured in popular Japanese PC rag Weekly ASCII, looking rather worse for wear, and apparently having decided to model the styles of yesteryear.
Apparently Photoshop is not the strong suit of this particular magazine.

23 years old and already an auntie? This proves those 30+ year old age group playing Nintendo are old fogies. Woah, slow down with that Animal Crossing, old timer, you could've gotten a heart attack. Heh.
I wish I have an auntie that look just like Aya Hirano.
She's still 22 now, but I'm older than her by a few months.
Yeah really... maybe auntie by Japanese standards (at 25!) but I'm almost 30... she's almost TOO young, lol
oops, I said "too young" - gonna get modded down for sure! XD
I think she looks cute in those pics.
She looks extremely pretty here :D
Looks better than before .
AHAHAHAHAHA THIS MADE MA DAY!!
Kinda reminds me of White Album instead. Viva for the 80's
i prefer this over some of her old photos...
I think she looks pretty good right there.
OH MY! Aya Hirano is so fucking hot.
"Worse for wear"?
How the hell does Artefact see her as anything but beautiful, in both her appearance and outfit?
She looks atrocious compared to her usual standards of Photoshop.
"worse for wear"?
I think she looks fine..better than having her hair worn up stupidly in a ponytail in the front like we've been seeing her.
It looks to me without the ability to read any foreign languages that Aya is going to be the next computer CPU which is in development. Also ASCII was the way computer animation was done by home users like in 1981-1987 in BASIC language so is that why she has old fashion clothes on?
Why does her hair remind me of another anime character...
Down to earth looks awesome!
did aya hirano abuse you as a child or something?
She looks better than before!
come to papa!!!
She is indeed rocking that bubble era look. Very classy Aya or someone who picked her look for the magazine. She needs to be more pictures of her in that vintage style.
Well......*sigh* I'm just gonna say it.
I think she looks good this way :/ I see nothing wrong here.
*sigh**runs*
I like it. She actually looks NORMAL. In all her other pictures, she either been in salon Photoshop or not and shining with her big forehead.
auntie or not, I would still bang her
I approve
Call me old skool, but I think it's a nice look for her.
Arty what do you have against Aya-Hime? T_T
I did. And I have nothing against her either >:3
I didn't even write this.
Nothing wrong with her looks in that pic. I'd hit it. :)
why is she even in a computer magazine?
Since I'm a huge fan of Aya Hirano...fapfapfapfap
OMG. Real-life ojousama drills!

don't mind the japanese troll
Somebody please translate?
Exactly my thoughts... I guess...
When I started reading SanKakucon last year didn't we used to have a lot more Japanese in the comments section? What happened? Did everyone just get lazy?
Get an account!
Go smell your own shit or something!
i think she looks super hot in her auntie outfit. I maybe be in the minority but i think aya is super sexy. Even if shes flat chested and doesnt know how to wear a bikini.
Is it just me or she doesn't seems attractive at all ?
Nah, she's one hot AILF here..
She just looks like a default brown-haired asian woman.
Damn you people are picky. I'd hit that in a heartbeat.
Sankaku trolls, that's a fact I've learned.
The way people here are picky, it's not only Japan that gonna suffer from a decline in birth rate.
Shut up and fap. Don't fight over this. You people will never hit that.
A perfectionist is someone who seek perfection as a result from their work and actions, not someone with a surreal sense of beauty.
Yeah but you're clearly not an elitest perfectionist, like most of the world should be.
She was definitely better looking before she got famous with the girl-next-door look. Her post-fame image is just like any other dime-a-dozen punk-wannabe idol/singer. Minorin on the other hand went from a Halko-esque cute to elegant Mamiko-like image, which is a step up IMHO.
I replay.
Maybe not a sex bomb but does look normal. Not many are pretty without makeup.
UH OH!
poor aya =C
without the forehead
SHE IS NOTHING!
There's still that trademark Konata mole..
...and those DFC..
Drill hair wins all. Besides, she looks better in these pics than i have seen her look in some time.
Aya can't rock the drill hair!
I'm OK with this.
Deliciously hot MILF.
I almost forgot that she's still in her early 20s from seeing her like this.
i bet she changed her hair style after seeing this news
She need a facepalm... A hard one if possible...
Yeah, I don't really get this whole stigma about Aya Hirano. Sure she has an ugly haircut, but whatever. I think she looks pretty personally.
Why complaining? Put this image in a Korean celebrity show and she'll be considered as a perfect delicate beauty there.
Oh well, it can't be helped calling her uncute though considering ppl around the internet are mainly supermodels (sarcasm).
No, Most people on the internet aren't! And that doesn't mean that the people who LIVE off looking good can afford to look bad.
I thought she was like a singer or a voice actress or something.. Is she actually a model?
*facepalm*
She's a voice actress. But she sings on a lot of the anime she is in.
But most voice actresses gain in popularity if they are also really cute, and Aya is popular as a model and idol, as well as a voice actress.
I can't wait to see more of Aya's character in Bakemonogatari. If there ever is more.
I thought she was like a singer or voice actress or something.. Is she actually a model?
Compared to Lady Gaga, Pink and other freaky looking popular celebs out there, I hardly find Aya intentionally trying to look bad here.
Well if you put it that way then yes she's a lot better looking than them.
Hairstyle doesn't fit face shape - fringe particularly. Never really liked the show or the person, though.
If the front cover is Hirano Aya on a PC mag(why?), and people start to notice the "iPad header" or latest "GPU footer" before the celebrity, you know you've reached it...
You're old
That's okay, Anon. I'm sure SanCom will mix things up with yet another FF13 article, to remain fresh and original.
Artefact is a fashion freak? (o_O)
The magazine looks like it's from eighties or something
Yeah it looks like it's been shot on expired film and scanned on a 90's scanner
I would so tap that!!!
Aya is a real honey, and this brings out her elegance that alot of women seriously lack.
I think she looks nice like this.
She looks mature. Some otaku actually like their women legal. She's what? 22? She doesn't even look that old.
She seems fine. I guess the pedos don't like it when she doesn't look loli enough.
I agree. It was funny at first, but now its just getting stupid. I mean there is no way to seriously look at this picture and say she is unattractive. She is still very pretty and attractive, and all this bashing is getting old.
No more FFXII articles! No more china bashing articles! No more hirano aya articles!... No, china bashing articles are cool.
LEAVE AYA ALONE snif snif dramaqueen mode.
but seriously where is all this hate coming from? And to say she is but ugly... well that's just sad. Do you see any excessive fat, a hunchback, crosseyed, a big nose?
At worst she looks like a normal person. Whats wrong with that
She admits she's fat.
Nothing. But there's definitely something wrong with people worshipping her. Not saying that I enjoy reading these articles though, I'd rather she wasn't mentioned this often.
