Fairy Tail Ends: Along With Aya Hirano’s Seiyuu Career

     

The anime adaptation of of Fairy Tail has been announced as ending on the 30th of March – and along with it the seiyuu career of no less an icon than Aya Hirano herself, as her last remaining major
role was that of Lucy.


Fairy Tail fans have been complaining of poor timing for the ending, which some suspect to have been precipitated largely by the poor reception its recent movie release experienced.
The manga original is expected to continue unaffected – and mangaka Hiro Mashima has commented on Twitter that “I can’t say anything now, but please bear the wait until the day I can make a good announcement,” which has been interpreted as a possible restart of the anime once the manga has accumulated more of a lead.


However, as the show represented 25-year-old Aya Hirano’s last remaining significant role since her dramatic fall from grace, as much attention seems to have focused on what will become of her “seiyuu” status.
According to a twit made by Hirano herself in 2011, supposed contractual issues were involved in her exit from the anime world – although it is hard to imagine many studios wanting to cast such a controversial figure amongst their top heroines:
“From last year I’m banned from appearing in any new anime, so I’m really grateful for 2nd seasons and long running shows! Really grateful!”
Although she does have some minor roles left in kiddy anime (in Anpanman and Jewelpet), no major active roles are now left her.



Despite not having any real roles at all, her agency still insists being a seiyuu is a core part of her career and dismisses any notion of her now concentrating on being a singer:
“Hirano entered the business as a seiyuu, and nothing about her main activity being that of a seiyuu has changed at all.
This is her agency’s real intent for her. She still has new offers, and she won’t refuse any she is capable of taking on.”
There is as usual a certain amount of scepticism accruing to these statements – the consensus appears to be that she has abandoned being a “multitalent” in favour of a monotalent career focused on generic J-pop, although some faithful lifeliners apparently still believe she is merely biding her time for a return to voice acting glory:

“She can start by stopping being a blonde and going back to black…”
“This is the girl who made a fuss about that taxi?”
“When the Monogatari casting changed I knew it was a scary business.”
“She still has a few small roles aside from Fairy Tail…”
“She still has 5 glorious years of being a Jewelpet regular!”
“I thought so too! Perhaps she’d can take on some dubbing roles on travel drama and Korean soaps. Though please stay off any Hollywood movies.”
“She narrated some NHK documentaries too!”
“I don’t think there is any more demand for her now? Even if she is a great voice actress, part of her role as seiyuu is drawing in customers.”
“She’s mainly a seiyuu, so at least judge her on her voice acting, guys. Although I hate her voice and acting as well.”
“Being the top seiyuu is not a status you can maintain for long. Just look at what happened to Hayashibara, she doesn’t have any roles these days either.”
“That’s because she concentrated on her family and stopped taking new work? She still has a few big ones.”
“She had her reasons, don’t lump her in together with the likes of Hirano, someone who discarded fans and colleagues alike.”
“At least Hirano is good example to new seiyuu of how not to do it.”
“Nobody reporting on her career even touches on the those pictures. They really show what a scary business it is.”
“No demand indeed. I hope they pass her roles on to new blood.”
“Women have a short shelf life. There are always young new girls with talent and popularity available to replace them. No need to keep using damaged second-hand goods under the circumstances.”
“There are loads more in the business where she came from. The fact otaku hated her was the end of her.”
“It seems more like she was forced out of the business by the other seiyuu, but I think she was good to have around. Why does everyone hate her so much?”
“Without the repeated scandals and the constant strange utterances she would never have fallen this far.”
“She’s a perfect example of a star who ruined herself.”
“A carnivorous girl like this is too much for anime otaku. Adieu, Hirano.”

Fairy Tail Review

It is now time for a review of the ever so popular anime Fairy Tail!!!!!!


Fairy Tail is a story about a guild named the Fairy Tail Guild and the members that is in it. They all reside in the Kingdom of Fiore. There are other guilds that are around that have a play with Fairy Tail but no spoilers. Here is a character overture of the Fairy Tail Guild.












Natsu and Happy the Cat

Natsu is a fire wizard and one of the best wizards in Fairy Tale. Although he is different from other fire wizards: He has the ability of breathing, eating and wielding fire like a dragon! He is accompanied by his flying blue cat Happy who is one of the cutest things I have ever seen. He is Natsu's right hand man and best friend. He has the power to fly and loves to say "Aye" once in a while.


Lucy

Lucy is a spunky teen who got her wish of becoming part of Fairy Tail. She is a Celestial Wizard. She uses keys that summon "Celestial Beings" that seem to attribute to horoscope signs. She tries to keep Natsu in line and is a very sweet girl.



Grey

Grey is one of the strongest wizards with Natsu and Ezra. Grey is an Ice Wizard and because Natsu is a Fire Wizard, they get into altercations from time to time. Fire and ice don't mix after all. He has the habit of taking off his clothes..... I still don't know why but hey, I'm not complaining. He has a silly side especially when Natsu and him fight in front of Erza. They become buddies instantly since they know how Erza is.


Erza

Erza is a very serious young lady. She completes the strongest Fairy Tail team and is the roughest girl wizard around. She uses equip magic called "The Knight". She can transform into different types of armor that can perform different abilities including the weapons. Mess with Erza you'll get the bull and the horns.

So what do I think about this series? I love it. I immediately gravitate towards these types of animes. This is one people should have in their library's. It is fun, lighthearted, action-packed, serious and awesome! The voice acting is top-notched.Of course Funimation provided us with the voices of Todd Haberkorn, Cherami Leigh, Colleen Clickenbeard, Newton Pittman and many more. They all are doing an awesome job.  I give this anime an A. Please go and support and buy everything Fairy Tail!!  Fairy Tail Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!  ^-^
