As if her transformation into a blonde was not startling enough, now fans of scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano have been confronted with yet another shocking new look – this time one which has been unfavourably compared to a “trashy hostess,” now barely being recognisable as the same person from her seiyuu era:
A return to blonde bob may be as much as anyone can hope for, although some still remember how she used to look:
dude, she looks so fucking hot. I’ve come to think asian cultures just have a fucked up perception of beauty honestly.
Well she certainly looks extreme ugly.
By Anime logic, she is now British.
She’s definitely on drugs.
I guess she wants to be the Micheal Jackson of seiyuu — in regards to her changing appearance of course!
Aya Hirano looks fine. People change over the years. Live with it.
I think Sankaku or one of their writers is being a tsundere to Aya Hirano :>
Sankaku has been hating on Aya since like FOREVER!
But, does not even have the INTEGRITY to be honest about it or the GUTS to say WHY!!!
i actually really like her hairstyle, even if it’s blonde and she sort of looks less japanese than she used to. clothes are meh but it’s not like she’s an anime chara and she’ll wear them forever. besides, i don’t get the bitching- it’s only natural for women to change their style over time, especially as they grow older.
The guy that writes this & the people who agree with him are ASSholes in every sense of the word, WTF! People grow up, people change, seriously have you not been through puberty? Have you not learn from past mistakes? Have you not changed your look? Why should she be continuously harrased/ridicularized/despised? Envy? Hate for “not loving a “fan(I mean those freaky otaku’s who take weird to a whole new level)””? Come on seriously? WTF?… t(-.-t) **** yourselves guy/girls in the literal sense of the word, just go **** yourselves.
(^^)b agreed
I dont mean to be insensitive, either to sankaku tabloids or Aya Hirano herself, but she looks roughly the same to me, with a few hairstyle choices and some weird makeup.
Change the name at the web site Artefactu in ”Aya Hirano fan site” 😉
She WAS barely recognisable… from other seiyuus. Especially on the last pic, feels like this is not Aya at all.
I like her new look, it’s cuter and more original.
I’m still for a petition to change this site name’s to:
“Hirano Complex – All you need to obsess over Aya!”
Some staff member here must be among the otakus who used to jerk off to Hirano back when she was up to their twisted, out-of-reality standards.
One day all the people who work in anime, idol crap, etc should get together for a special message to all fans and say, “hey jerkoffs. Fuck off”
It would be friggin hilarious to see what the response would be. There would probably be mass suicide in Japan.
Why would anyone even care what Aya is up to these days? Her career went into the toilet ages ago.
Someone is trying to recycle her career.
Aya is over.
Blonde? Nice… Now do a Lucy Heartfilia cosplay, pls <3
lol, it’s like Michael Jackson all over again. She’s gone from lovely-nippon to trailer trash.
snap! people change with the pass of time!!!!1 who would have thought??!
she looks like a skinny Ke$ha, somehow I meant it as a compliment.
anywho I’m done with Aya news, unless its news about her AV debut, her death or her comeback for a second season of Lucky Star
Looking at these negative comments…
makes me laugh.
LOL
looks like a drug addict whore from any big city in the world.
Hmmm, lets take Charlie Sheen to Japan. He would Blow some minds Or Paris in Japan. Then the ranks would change.
Deko bitch used to be adorable, now she looks like an AV slut. What a change.
Aya Hirano is evolving !
if she is blonde or not is irrelevant… She’s just sad, many people have tried to destroy her image… only by nonsense. just compare the pictures and you will see what I mean.
When she was younger, she looked more happier.
good ol drugs
Well, this certainly explains a lot about anime/manga design. Apparently it’s not just in fiction that if the hair color and clothes are different but the face is exactly the same, Japanese people think it’s a completely different person.
Uh there is nothing wrong with her hair even with the blond dye i can still fucking tell its her. People change over time Sankakucomplex get over it. Honestly i like the hair change 🙂
Japanese women don’t age well… Nothing new there. She’s no longer in her prime.
Pretty much looks like her agency at work trying to re-image her. I’m sure part of the process is to distance herself away from her previous fanbase.
Our Movie/TV/Music stars do it every 10-12 years.
The only celebrities that never re-image are reality TV stars.
Does the carpet match the drapes?
As long as she can still do Pachira in Magipoka season 2, I don’t really care how she lives her life or what she looks like.
You’d all still hit that so quit all the BS talk. You’d gladly PAY to hit that if you could afford it, or rob your elderly grandma if you couldn’t afford it.
I hope she has a good life…
Meth, not even once.
awww last pic of aya so cute!
is there an old aya haruhi live action I dont know about.
btw I don’t get the point of this article. but Im glad my aya news requests are being honored. and she looks good to me. Taylor lovers you Aya!
She grew the fuck up. anime fans should try it sometime.
I like how you tell other peoples to “grow up” by throwing empty insults at them. Ah, the irony.
Actually, that getup is a mark of immaturity. Her choice of grooming 10 years ago are closer to that of a mature self-respecting woman.
I’m betting otakus and people who give a fuck about her matured a lot.
@05:47
Strangely they only seem to care about other peoples’ grooming. Their own tends to be non-existent.
I’m betting otakus give a fuck about grooming and self respect.
Where’s the pussy things?
Silly Anon.. She ate the pussy
Aya rides again!
I’d still hit it
She looks like derpina (derpette) lol
Enjoy your new collection of STDs.
Enjoy your new collection of delusions.
what’ve is the dumbest made up word Ive ever heard
You know something that’s really really magic about what’ve said…You’ll never get a chance to find out if what’ve said was true^^…
First hand experience there anon? no? then keep quiet.
She has STDs for sure, at the very least one, enjoy!
You mean… she wasn’t recognizable from 10 years ago?
A human being CHANGED over TIME!? WHAT THE FUCK!?
WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!
Loli Aya? How cute.
just yesterday
Exactly. The sad thing is Japanese people actually believe that if a person changes with time they are somehow “not taking care of themselves.” It’s not even that the person looks bad, they just end up looking different, because not only do people age, styles change, an ten years have gone by. I think women of all ages are attractive, but that’s because I’m not brainwashed to only see beauty one way.
And the men are just screwed. Have you seen what happens to male idols “Past their prime”? Totally tossed to the side forever.
Japanese people seem to be having hard time to handle their human nature…
I think otherwise. Do you think Robert Downey Jr. looks bad? He is my fucking idol. (I mean, he’s my idol, no “fucking” thing)
Ah right, you’re talkng about asians… I guess they are screwed indeed.
As long as her voice remain the same, its fine for me however she look.
haha
I don’t mind her current look much however the areas where she did have plastic surgery are ridiculously obvious and unnecessary. (imho of course)
wtf kind of devilry is this????!
Looks like Hirano Aya to me…?
LEAVE AYA ALONE! ;_;
Thats what we want to do as well and forget and never see again this slut!!
And yet you feel the need to look at this page and comment. Crawl back under your rock and die.
damn dunno why people hating on her. She looks fine.
Fine? Really?
Don’t care who she fucked with, but in that picture she looks like she’s cosplaying a white trash.
And now we’ve heard from the Department of Ignorant Racism. Anyone intelligent want to comment?
It’s probably that mindset that has a huge part of the rest of the world dislike you. I’m not sure whether you know it but Japan seems to be one of the most backwater places with that “everyone else sucks” mindset … probably on par with your friendly neighbours, yeah Korea. get over it or give us back our tech that you got from the “white trash”.
Have fun in the Edo period (that is – no anime for you).
I seriously could type that comment under 99% of all the newsposts on this page >.<
On a totally different note she should've worn a simple black one or red one (and red lipstick). A white one wwith weird pattern in black is really no good in front of a white backdrop.
I told you in the other tread. Sankakus like to hate on popular things it makes them cool and hardcore.
I’ll happily join in; AYA HIRANO = SLAT
Oreo… Yummy…
You’re all ores!
@Powderpuff Loll – Nice Shinobu avatar. =3
Quiet, you betches!
You are SLAT.
How would hating on an anime voice actor make you “hardcore”?
Do you even think before having that shit spew out your mouth?
You just proved his point.
I think thats the point. Shes tired of all the fucking otaku meddling in her life and wants a change. Look at the posts bashing her all the time. Youd get sick of that shit too.
If she does nor not want to be criticized she should have selected another job, plain and simply, or get the fuck out of the medium already.
think aya reeeally cares about the opinion of fat hairy smelly losers types who would rant mean things about idols over the internet.
yes yes care care you dont care about anything cos ur mr cool 8D. My love and me being a lifeliner does not depend on if she cares about me or what she hates according to a random ranting anon. You also don’t understand this ‘I love you even if you hate me’ kind of love because no one feels this way about you. other than maybe your mommy.
But she probably doesn’t like you much either.
Think she cares hwat you think faggot?
At least I dont care about her, I could care less if she does cot care about me, but you, that seem to like her, I pity you if you are her fan, she despises otaku, she hates anime, she hates the anime community, what makes you think she gives a real damn about her lifeliners?
Where is my Haruhi S3?
that’s just sad.
The eye bags. So scary.
no eye bags are sexy. don’t you keep up with japanese trends? eyebags say, “I’m beautiful and a hard worker”. just so you know armpits are sexy too.
Al least she looks less ugly than she used to look.
She was the most attractive during her Suzumiya Haruhi days. I remember watching the live of only god knows and she was damn cute!!
Now she looks like somebody who has been on drugs for a while. Nothing cute/moe/sexy about her anymore.
Even official Russian dubbers voiced Haruhi a lot better.
Actually fuck all that.
Fuck her, because her boyfriend already does that so that’s good.
Also fuck media for actually trying to change her the way they see fit.
Also fuck you for being here, thank you.
See you tomorrow anon.
Not her best shot.
it is not her fault, she is just too old…
Who tries to look too young…and doing it wrong.
But still, I couldn’t care less even if she grew a second head as long as the second head was as good of a VA as she is. What does it matter what crap she spouts or does when she isn’t in the studio, if she does her job well she could sell herself in the street for all I care.
She trash talk her fans that why the otaku got piss off with her and why do you want someone like her that behave like a bitch
Even if Aya did somehow manage to despise me and not know I exist at the same time…?(ok..) What does that have to do with my never ending Aya love? It does not depend on her knowing or liking me. Psychologically you’re upset because you don’t understand love like this. Because no one loves you in this way.
or loves you at all.
and judging by the fact you’re spending ur time anon ranting at me..no one in your life probably even likes you. My words sting because they’re true don’t they..you’ll be thinking about this in your sleep..poor you.
GIve it up Anon 06:48
FOr her you dont fucking exist, chances are she despises you by default, she does no even know the likes of you hating her on this site, how void your existence should be, poor you.
As long she did well in her job, I don’t care who Aya is fucking. Just like I don’t give a damn about whatever Michael Jackson is black or white, I just enjoy his music.
GIve it up Taylor
FOr her you dont fucking exist, chances are she despises you by default, she does no even know the likes of you defend her on this site, how void your existence should be, poor you.
My mailman can be an anti-semetic KKK member for all I care as long as he does his job and I get my mail. Why should it be any different for this chick? We are not her friends and we do not interact with her. Hell, we dont even see her when shes doing her job right.
What she does or thinks on her own time is her own business and no one should give a fuck.
What did she say HUH wheres your proof HUH what are your sources HUH u kno aya?? u were in the room when she said something HUH??
And a slut. Can’t help wanting those band members, except for the bassist. Poor bassist.
All that’s left for her to do now is to tan herself dark.
well atleast she still has her pride…….
oh wait
that’s what trying to be god does to you.
trying?
WHat a shallow life you must have!
What an idiot you are.
