It’s been a long time since Ouran High School Host Club was liscensed to be produced in English by Funimation. Since then us fans have been patiently waiting for any slight details and especially any information on the voice actors.

Not sure what took so long, but now we know who’s playing the main characters, so here you are:

Haruhi Fujioka by Caitlin Glass

Tamaki Suoh by Vic Mignogna

Kyouya Ootori by J. Micheal Tatum

Hikaru Hitachin by Todd Haberkorn

Kaoru Hitachin by Greg Ayres

Mitsukuni Haninozuka (Honey) by Luci Christian

Takahashi Morinozuka by Travis Willingham

Renge Houshakuji by Monica Rial

Nekozawa Umehito by Patrick Seitz

Ryoji Fujioka (Ranka) by Mike McFarland

 I’m so thrilled, I hope these guys do a good job, I recognize a lot of these names, so many of them have main roles in Fullmetal Alchemist, so I’m sure they’ll be great. I first heard about a month or so ago that Vic was trying out for my favorite character, Tamaki, and I was really hoping he’d get that role since he just so happens to be one of my favorite voice actors. He is best known for his role as Edward Elric!

The english dub of Ouran High School Host Club is set to be released October 28, 2008. That’s such a long time… And after my birthday, shame, shame. Oh well, I will be looking forward to it as I hope you will too!

Yes, again with the Pokemon. Upon visiting Burger King the other day I found that they have Pokemon toys, it’s somewhat old news, so that’s why I’m not making this post about that. It’s actually about the interesting offer I got with my cute little Turtwig toy.

Dedicated fans probably are aware of the closing of the PokemonCenter website, a hotspot for Pokemon toys, hosted by Pokemon.com. It was closed for reasons not clearly known. Though it’s spectulated they weren’t making the designated sales.

Anyhow, you can find the new official place to buy Pokemon here, http://pokemonstore.viz.com/ , Though it’s not nearly as good as the pokemoncenter site was. Either way, interesting deal going on, buy $20 worth of stuff and get a free DVD. So if you’re a die hard Pokemon fan, I recommend this deal for you. The ad I have says this will be offered until next year, isn’t that nice of them?

Here’s my Turtwig by the way, just because I love it:

Hey, any of you in Japan? Lucky! Okay, okay, anyways, if any of you still take interest in Pokemon, make sure you don’t miss out on seeing the newest movie in the theaters, “Giratina and the Boquet in the Sky - Sheimi!”

Now I’m not really a fan of the television series, but I would go just to see that cute little Sheimi! It’ll be out this weekend, go see it!

I feel it’s my duty as an obsessor to tell you so.

The next novel came out today, though I’m sure it won’t hit the bookstores for a few more days, it seems there’s always a delay. But it might be avalible online, so fans, check on it.  The first book in the series (Released March 19) was titled “First Kiss” and this one is titled “Chevalier” and features Haji on the cover.

I recommend this series, “First Kiss” was really good, I had it finished a day after I got it! Can’t wait to get “Chevalier”. The other day I also discovered one of those unofficial fanbooks for Blood+ that will be coming out in September. You should look for it too. Strange how new Blood+ stuff keeps popping up, eh?

I forgot to mention the second volume of the manga version of Blood+ came out a few weeks ago in early June. If you don’t have that, be sure to get it, it’s awesome!

Unlike the first movie that could be viewed in select theaters for one day, unfortunately, Viz is releasing the second Naruto movie “Legend of the Stone of Gelel” straight to DVD. You can get your copy though on July 29, 2008.
