Otaku Seiyuu Attackers or Harmless Buffoons? Videos Tell - Otagei

The antics of otaku and their manic “otagei” are now the subject of some scrutiny; there is a catalogue of unhealthy incidents stemming from this hyper-enthused fandom, and we also had the pleasure of hearing an assertive voice demand their restraint (that of Yui-nyan).

But what constitutes otagei, and are the concerns about it legitimate, or mere media froth? Below there is a representative sample of “normal” otagei performances (no running amok), as compiled by Gigazine. It definitely looks as though the performances are in the eye of the beholder.

Seiyuu to Otaku: Knock It Off

榊原ゆい / Yui Sakakibara

“Your antics are a nuisance, so cut it out please”. Otaku and their shenanigans have triggered a very forthright response from 榊原ゆい/Yui Sakakibara (prolific seiyuu for many famous eroge), or Yui-nyan, clearly not one to put up with any nonsense, or take it lying down as some of her compatriots do.

New Megumi Hayashibara & Slayers Music Due

New Megumi Hayashibara & Slayers Revolution Music Due

I couldn’t help but notice the musical career of the great 林原めぐみ / Megumi Hayashibara is set to get a boost with release of two new titles coinciding with the onset of Slayers Revolution. Announced is “Plenty of Grit/Revolution”, the Slayers Revolution OP/ED single, due July the 23rd, and スレイヤーズ MEGUMIX / Slayers MEGUMIX, a 3 CD album due June the 25th, coming with a huge variety of extras.

A development sure to please Slayers and Megumi fans alike (if there can be said to be much difference between the two).

    I've got the Megumix, sadly it only contains the TV size versions of Plenty of grit and Revolution. 乙女の祈り brings back happy memories though ...... More
