The Moe and the Biker Chick
Oct. 18th, 2009 08:23 amI seem to be in a Haruhi kick these days especially when I learned a tidbit about one of the voice actors (seiyuu).
Yuko Goto who voices Mikuru is actually a biker chick.
This might not be an extraordinary discovery but it is to me since Yuko Goto's been stereotyped to play helpless, clumsy girls with high pitched voices.
Her role as Mikuru is actually the best example since she's almost always helpless in Haruhi and prone to be bullied by the title character. I have no strong feelings for Mikuru as a character since most of the time she's just there although lately I am feeling a wee bit more suspicious of Mikuru because no one can be that helpless and incompetent especially an operative from a Time Agency.
This is an example of Yuko Goto as Mikuru, the characters are shooting a student film (hence the really amateur 'shooting' and acting):
And then this is Yuko Goto guest starring in Lucky Star parodying herself:
According to wiki people do actually call her Gotouther-sama. Heee.
Then to top it all I found this (c/o TV Tropes), where Yuko Goto plays a Canadian exchange student with surprisingly good English and spectacularly bad Japanese accent.
I cannot stop laughing. SOU NAN DESS KARR!
And this is Gotouther-sama herself:

I'm also currently trying to catch-up with K-ON and watching To Aru Kagaku No Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun), a spin-off of A Certain Magical Index.
It follows the story of Mikoto Masaka and Shiroi Kuroko, two powerful ESPers living in Academy City for anyone who knows me, it's would be no surprise that one of the things that caught my attention about this show was the city itself a futuristic styled city whose conceit was that it was a home for both students and scientists and all the students are measured for their ESP abilities. There are five levels, the fifth level being the strongest and in a city of over 2.3 million citizens there are only seven Level 5 people in the city and standing as the third strongest among the seven Level 5 is Mikoto Masaka, a person capable of commanding electricity and lightning in anyway she chooses earning her the nickname the Railgun.
