( thats my home town by the way) i forget what i was ranting about. anyway, i hope that witchblade does become a different animal in anime form than the comic series was, in fact, i liked the way they have virtually spun it off into a totally unique japanese type series. ps: has any one read vampire jyuu kai? it has some elements of the anime........ I resent Tjhan’s slander. all lot of us do.

She actually sounds little different from her usual voice here, but, as Zyl pointed out, she really sounds as if she is enjoying the role.

Each of Hazuki's voices are individually excellent. However Mamiko as Shimako (teehee...^_^) demonstrated that she can express a whole range of moods without fundamentally altering her sound pattern. When Mamiko as Hazuki put her different voices together however, it's hard to pin down exactly where but the meshing is a little rough. Smooth meshing is important in action orientated roles since day to day & combat have fundamentally different tones & Mamiko can't really do that properly as far as I can tell. I guess I'm just trying to say that I just feel Mamiko is miscast as a action character, it isn't about her voice and whether she would sound appropriate but that she would break the flow of the narative...however her potential in any other role is excellent Zyl I agree with your statement on the different voices and the overall emotional impact of Yamibou.
