Sunday Spotlight: Yoshitoshi ABe, Chris Beveridge, Aaron Dismuke, Myung-Jin Lee, Justin Sevakis, Yasuyuki Ueda

Welcome to another edition of Sunday Spotlight, where we feature five interviews with some of the best people in the anime world. This week, ANN sits down with the creator and producer of hits like Serial Experiments Lain and Haibane Renmei, a producer from the US's first 24-hour network dedicated to Asian programming, the voice of Alphonse Elric, the creator of the immensely popular Ragnarok franchise, and one of the Internet's most respected anime reviewers. Enjoy!

Yoshitoshi ABe and Yasuyuki Ueda Who they are: Producer and writer/character designer What they've done: Texhnolyze, Haibane Renmei, Serial Experiments Lain, NieA_7 Quotable: (Ueda) "What's really enjoyable for me is when I'm thinking of the littlest details, whether it's a specific word or a title or whatever, and I'm on my way home on my bicycle and something comes up in my head, and I think and reflect to myself, 'Oh my gosh, I'm a genius!'"

Justin Sevakis Who he is: Producer at ImaginAsian TV, former CPM subtitler, founder of ANN What he's done: In charge of licensing anime content for ImaginAsian TV Quotable: "The only two movies I've ever cried more than a sniffle at were Omoide Poro Poro and Pom Poko! Oh wait, My Neighbors the Yamadas, too. And there was that one time I was moved to tears by the Kellogg's logo at the end of Barney and Friends, but I was really really hopped up on over-the-counter cold medication at the time."

Aaron Dismuke Who he is: Voice actor What he's done: Roles: Young Akito, Hiro Sohma (Fruits Basket), Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist), Yott (Kiddy Grade), Shura (Yū Yū Hakusho) Quotable: "I recorded Elric's lines in a bowl and I of course managed to kick it into the mic over and over again, producing an ear piercing, deafeningly loud noise that was the formula for me nearly getting fired. Other than that, it was really cool."

Myung-Jin Lee Who he is: Creator of the Ragnarok franchise What he's done: The popular Ragnarok Online game and companion comic series Quotable: "Even if you're not fighting, it's easier to make friends in Ragnarok by going into towns and talking to other players. The gameplay's also easier than Final Fantasy's."

Chris Beveridge Who he is: Webmaster, founder of AnimeonDVD.com What he's done: Over 2000 anime reviews! Quotable: "Probably the most surprising thing about the industry is that they haven't hired anyone to knock me off yet."
