Haruhi fans are angrily complaining that they can no longer imagine the eponymous egomaniac as being a virginal maiden with the knowledge of scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano’s slatternly antics.
They explain their objections to a “carnivorous” seiyuu with a relaxed attitude to hiding this fact from fans:
“Well, if Kadokawa do a third season of Haruhi I hope they announce a new Haruhi or this seiyuu scandal will ruin it.
Honestly, I really did like Aya Hirano, but now I can’t watch Haruhi any more with her image being what it is…”
“Then don’t watch it.”
“Even if you hate the seiyuu, there’s no need to hate the work or the character.”
“This will definitely affect Haruhi. We may not see any more movies or a new series thanks to it.”
“It won’t affect it. KyoAni have their hands full for some time with Nichijou and K-ON! When they get to Haruhi everyone will have forgotten this stuff.”
“The idiots saying there will be no effect – just look at all the announcers sacked for far more trivial reasons. I hope they change Haruhi’s seiyuu soon. The effect on her image is terrible. I can’t stand watching her whilst recalling that face.”
“With this incident, there is no more Aya Hirano. Her effect on the image of anime she appears in will be too bad.”
“You can’t deny she has ruined Haruhi’s image. She’s ruined the whole anime!”
“It’s time to change the seiyuu. Even if there is a third season, nobody will be able to enjoy it listening to her voice.”
“Haruhi is not Aya Hirano. Who cares if she voices her. Stop making a fuss about it.”
“If they change Haruhi they had better change the whole cast.”
“Aya Hirano is finished, it’s impossible. This has wrecked the image of all her anime roles.”
“If they dump her, the ones who can’t stand her and left will come back, and the new seiyuu will bring her own fans – wonderful.”
“They can’t change the seiyuu now! What the hell do you retarded seiyuu fans expect from a seiyuu anyway…”
“I like Haruhi and her voice. Who cares who plays her. I don’t know anything about any Aya Hirano.”
“Who cares about this scandal anyway.”
“I’d rather they find a new producer…”
“It’s not like she committed a crime. If they change her, it’d be like negating all her characters – I wouldn’t wish to see that.”
This is of course not the first time fans have sought to have her removed, although it does rather seem she has now crossed every line of seiyuu image management.
For those wondering about the Hirano response to all this, there has been nothing but deafening silence – since the 27th her Twitter has lain silent, and though she made no less than 7 blog updates on the 31st, as usual they only detailed the particulars of her diet and fashion choices.

Aya didn't ruin Haruhi. Endless 8 did!
Endless Eight was an offense against the fans and the actors. I stopped watching Haruhi because of it.
Meanwhile, Fairy Tail is still cool.
I don't care about Hirano. Fairy Tail is a story about several characters, not just one blonde key-using magician. Even if Lucy is not my favorite, I like the other characters. Fairy Tail 90 is a classic.
Incidentally, my preferred method of ignoring Hirano is to get my hands on an actual woman. Like, 3D.
Yeah endless 8 ruined it. Only nagato remember what happened. The others are stupid
Your crazy if you think the human mind should be made to remember 15000 days worth of memories.
Nagato went nuts because of E8
But they do. Its 41 years dude
LUCY!!!!.. GREY!!!.... NATSUUUU!!!!!!.... ERZA!!!!!!!!!!!
And so on, but yes, still cool, quite odd for a long series.
No! Nagato is still cute in endless 8! Hell..change aya but not minorin
you mean Mikurun?
I am talking about seiyuu here. I mean go change haruhi seiyuu with anyone but not minorin for nagato
“Haruhi is not Aya Hirano. Who cares if she voices her. Stop making a fuss about it.”
QFT
“I’d rather they find a new producer…”
This poster has his priorities straight.
“Aya Hirano is finished, it’s impossible. This has wrecked the image of all her anime roles.”
^ This line is funny considering she has voiced characters who are complete perverts.
The thing is, Haruhi is always a bitch. So many otakus are literally referring to Haruhi as a character when they talk about the anime and mention the kana-fied 'bitch' in forums and shit.
As far as I'm concerned, Hirano's simply cranking that image up to eleven, lol.
Yea but Haruhi is sexxxy!
They say that now, but we all know they'll still watch it.
That´s bullshit!!! Haruhi is bullshit :/
These comments about Haruhi being ruined by Aya's scandel are gonna give me a tumor....
Yeah, its silly... character is not equal to seiyuu.
Character>Seiyuu
Now aint that persuasive
IT'S NOT A TOOMAH
Tumor in your pants?
Successful carer doing seiyu work for hentai? I Think so!! I know I'd fap to that!
the one thing i don't get is how they can feel a show/character is ruined by one of the seiyuu's having a sex life but they buy doujins where the character is gangraped.
Tell me about it... lol.
they're wizard class... what do u expect?
they're wishing all seiyuu will turn into magician too
I R WIZARD, u r wizard!
The magician sets the oven to 350 degrees.
I put on my robe and wizard hat...
I put mah "legendary" Equipment on
Well Get a Life that's what Aya Hirano was referring to... A Scandal Life so what Just do her Job to annoy Fans LOL!
I don't get the way they think though. But yeah, it is weird a doujin is fine but seiyuu must be pure. Seiyuu are humans as well and they do have a life.
As you are aware it seems that it's ok to draw a doujin where people are brutally raped and murdered.
Following your logic, everyone would also have to approve real people going around raping and murdering.
Ether you are unable to tell apart non-canonical fiction, fiction, and reality.
Or you are implying that otaku are unable to do so.
The reaction to Hirano is proof that otaku do know the difference between fiction and reality, although society seems to think otherwise.
Or you are implying that otaku are unable to do so.
Well... Yeah, they can't do it, and that's this news about it.
The voice is the only "real" thing in anime, and creates an association to the actor.
If the "presence" of the actor and his/her negative association distracts from the fantasy you try to immense yourself in, the fantasy is destroyed.
I can understand, if I were still a virgin, I would want my imaginary girlfriend to be a virgin too.
The original post implies that Otaku can delineate between fiction and non-canon fiction, but they can't separate a voice actress and her character.
This is purely a Japanese thing. Only in Japan do they expect pop stars and other idols to remain virgins their whole careers.
But in the US, Mariah Carrey, Madonna and Angelina Jolie remain popular and successful despite having lost their virginity long long ago.
2chan is ridiculous. There is nothing wrong with Aya playing Haruhi. The OP is SO right. There is something wrong with 2chan's logic here.
The voice is the only "real" thing in anime, and creates an association to the actor.

Must be hard to be you, and live in real world, lol.
Aye. These people aught to realize Aya is not their wife. Stop trying to keep her on a leash.
Seems at least a few of the quoted commenters are clear headed enough.
Protip #2-- Repeat: Haruhi just happens to sound similar as Hirano Aya. It's just coincidence~
It's not just that her characters "happen" to sound like Aya, I'm pretty sure Aya herself does not sound like her characters in real life.
From that, you'd quess people would be able to deduce that Aya != her characters, but I guess not.
You should watch this TEDTalk video: http://youtu.be/RPicL1AWrs8
I believe we can apply some of the same concepts here.
you're trying to rationalize the thoughts of demented people that convert their living space into shrines of a fictional character?
aren't shrines mostly used to worship fictional characters?
Oh Wait, God isn't real? Damn you!
@ytdh
"but they buy doujins where the character is gangraped"
Righteously said, my friend~
The hypocrisy is astounding if they do buy them...
Comiket 80 is just around the corner, after all...
Let us see who are the true loyal fans and the faux-fans...Both the hypocrites and the true fans will inevitably go buy "Lucky Star" and "Haruhi" doujins...
But only one of these groups will have a flaccid penis when they think of Aya Hirano despite Haruhi and Konata's virginity getting shredded from all the anonymous, shady, fugly bastards raping and gangbanging them and treating them like toilet cum dumps...
Oh you deluded fools who keep complaining of something as trivial as one's virginity~
This will truly separate the wheat from the chaff and the fans who ONLY WANT TO F*CK HER AND THUS SHE MUST REMAIN PURE FOR THEIR FAPPING NEEDS LEST THEY CAN'T GET IT UP and those who treat her like an actual human being and their beloved seiyuu for memorable anime girls...
She sexually harassed fellow band members into having sex which caused them to lose her jobs.
sexist.
their jobs
It's irrelevant.
Haruhi without Aya's voice isn't Haruhi. It's just her with some voice acting.
Fucking moron fans only succeed in making anime seem like a hobby for fucking losers.
I was vaguely aware the voice was the same in a few shows, but to be honest, I had never heard of Hirano till I came to Sankaku and read about the no life wankers that worship seiyuu only so long as they have hopelessly non existent sex lives like themselves.
If they do any more shows with Hirano it won't bother me in the slightest. Won't bother me if they use a different voice for Haruhi either. I usually watch anime shows for the situational context, not to follow a seiyuu around.
And you make yourself look like another loser with a slightly different attitude !
It's another culture, so bare with it !
Theres no problem in liking a seiyuu. In the West a lot of people do like/love certain actors.
But I guess this is something completely different to you, because most of them are females, huh ?
The only problem here, is that those fools got crazy about her doing totally normal things.
All Aya kinda has to say in her twitter is "Haters gonna hate" and problem solved.
And Sankaku has to stop caring.
"“Even if you hate the seiyuu, there’s no need to hate the work or the character.”"
This ^
Bunch of idiots who think a character represents the seiyuu.
