Ha! Told you so! Though I have to admit it's come along faster than I had expected.

Cool 'n' everything, but now the artificial seiyuu has to do OP and ED songs, promote new hair care products, look cute... Wow, it could be just like that cruddy movie, Simone, or whatever it was called.

Technology rules.

I have mixed feelings on the whole artificial seiyuu thing... it's definitely awesome that technology has advanced this much that we'd be able to do something like this, but somehow I don't really like it :\ There's just a certain 'feeling' that you get knowing that the seiyuu is actually human, rather than it being artificial ._.' I don't know, it's hard to explain x_x

I don't know, the way I read it they're saying the machine can change the voice of a Seiyuu, rather then create a voice of their own.

Yeah. The artificial ness thing doesn't seem right. I don't think we should be in such a rush to put people out of their jobs yet. =/

But of course it isn't perfect yet...so they have to have someone plugged into it. So it's not really artificial. Laughing

Voice emulation software has been around for years and years. This is merely another application of it. All you Gloom and Doom Prophets *coughEmerjecough* simmer down. This is not the future of acting and thesbianism simply because of a little thing called unions and another little thing called the Economy.
