I know that is fiction, but one would think that the same type of Japanese people would have a similar bias against all the NTR and similar in anime, manga, and light/web novels.


Public vs Private. The goings on in Japan in the privacies of the common worker could be all sorts of things and it would go ignored but once they are working then it is professionalism. Also do not mistake sexual fantasy for reality, it is no yardstick that should be applied to real people. American pornography can be similarly violent and depraved. It does not make all the people like that for existing.

As one last addition, by the definitions of NTR you would find such material very very rare in the normal anime, manga and light novels.

"Suzuki performed the opening theme songs for the first season as a member of the musical unit OLDCODEX."

I'm not sure what "first season" you mean? The opening to the first season of Misfit was done by CIVILIAN, not OLDCODEX.
In one or two episodes he did sing the opening, I think it was just listed as himself not with his band, but yes the opening in general is by a different band.

Nobuhiko Okamoto didn't get it THIS harsh. My goodness.... I get cheating is wrong. It's wrong what he did. However, from left and right? Come on.

It wasn't. The voice actor replacing Suzuki wasn't in the last one. This forum was just combined with the old one (I assume because same conversation).

Wow! Thank you. This is crazy. Guess the studio thought it was a good call to. I'm thrilled for Yuichiro. I feel like he's going to do an amazing job.

I like Umehara but I'll need to hear him as Anos to see if he fits.

I'm not sure why some people are all gloom and doom about Tatsun's career. We don't know if he's the one letting go of these jobs or he's simply still going through therapy. He's still going to voice Makoto in Free! and OLDCODEX hasn't broken up. I do think there should be consequences for cheating on your partner, regardless of who you are. He'll recover and come back. It's not the end of the world or his career.

I am thrilled that Ume-chan got the job to voice Anos. See, I watch it 'cause the story is interesting and not because XYZ actor is voicing a character.

I guess they're counting on people's familiarity with Seiya to make the transition as smooth as possible

You know, Okamoto is married to Asuka Ogame (known but not super popular female seiyuu). And public was not even aware of it until the scandal (plus he was just spotted with some generic hooker). While Suzuki recently married highly popular LiSa. So the consiquences were much more harsh.

I did see some people saying that his voice is damaged after his suicide attempt, possibly because he tried to hang himself? And that's why he's canceling his performances in so many anime. Do people recover from that sort of thing?

I could be wrong but doesn't this re-casting and possible blacklisting seem a bit excessive for what the seiyuu did?


He's not actually getting blacklisted, today his agency announced he's officially getting back to work here.

But yes, it objectively is excessive. Like someone suggested earlier, it is most likely Aniplex's conflict of interest since Lisa is signed with them and she's making them big yens now that Demon Slayer is popular and they don't want to risk her fans attacking them for "supporting a cheater" or something.

Although, in the article I linked above they're reporting that Lisa has forgiven him so that seems to close the entire conflict for me, but some people just wanna be angry I guess.
