I think it’s more about the voice direction. When Hirano has someone good telling her what to do and how to talk, she works. Have you checked whether the sound direction comes from the same two people in the game and anime?

When i played the Haruhi no Tomadoi for ps2 recently i was really really dissapointed in Aya’s work in that. Really i was so taken aback because she sounded horrible as HARUHI. It was super weird and i started thinking that maybe she didn’t do that good of a jobb in the haruhi anime. Or maybe that i just started disliking Aya altogether. But just the other day i watched an episode of Haruhi again and i really liked Aya in that. Meybe she just doesn’t like doing game voices really… I don’t really get Aya, but at least when she is good she is good.

Hirano Aya does do some other side jobs, most notably modelling. I don’t expect her to be rolling in cash because of it, but surely modelling in strange far-flung places will pay at least enough of her bills that she can afford to pick and choose a little?

Im curious about this and wounder if anyone could clarify. From what I gathered the fellow who they let go was a assistant director in Haruhi, given his first directing position in Lucky Star. He got let go because the animation quality was sub-standard in certain spots (specific 1 or two scenes where the characters where nothing more then a head and a innfiller body iwth little shap and no limbs).
Would he be considered that instumental to the animation of future releases? The quality in Lucky Star, while rather Simplistic did go up after he was replaced. Well thats how I heard it making the above conversation tickle my curiosity.

On the Voice Actor convo, I think most actors grow by facing more challanging roles outside of their archtype. Jim Carey did a good job on Trueman and he wasnt bat crazy in that one. I think some people are to attached to thier sentiment of a voice actor. Rather like how everytime peeps here the voice Actor for Shinji in Eva (Dub) they want him to start being depressive and scream alot.

They didn’t drop it in Lucky Star because of the animators. They dropped it because that was the style of the anime. If you look, actually there are a few scenes where they temporarily split back to true&true kyoani style and it is a shocker and then they switch again back to normal lucky star. I can’t remember the exact episode, but one scene was during the summer vacation and they show konata laying down with excellent colors 3d cel animation and etc.

And you must be blind about Clannad season 2, the animation is the same, the problem is the stations it aired on are crap so the fansubs look horrid (and yes I’m talking both the 4:3 aspect ratio and the 16:9 aspect ratio versions), wait for dvd releases.

I have to agree with sensei. I hated her as Misa. I would say Misa is the opposite of her proper role, that and Minato from Akane Iro. She sounds okay in hyakko. The two things she doesn’t do excellent in are roles where she has to be non-comical, she doesn’t do non-comical roles amazingly. In hyakko she is mainly a cutesy character which she is okay at, but she does embarrassed much better so that makes it fit.
