Turning Diaries to Mountains

[verity-isle.livejournal.com]

Geass.jp just updated with more news! They're quite frequent these days. The dear show must be getting popular in Japan (and it should be, unless the Japanese are insane).

Everyone here's probably acquainted with the Code Geass Net Radio : Diary of the Rebellion (every Friday), hosted by Millay and Sayoko's seiyuus. Well, we're getting a new programme. The new Net Radio will start on December 12 (month 12 day 12, actually funny) and will be called Code Geass : Hangyaku no Yamayama (Mountains/A Great Deal of the Rebellion) instead, airing every Tuesday. Why yamayama? It's all in the hosts.

The new hosts of the show, Number One : Sukiyama Noriaki, seiyuu-ing Rival. And as you might guess from the subtitle of the new show, Fukuyama Jun, seiyuu-ing Lelouch, is Host Number Two.

Let's see what they bring to the table. And I'm sort of hoping Fukuyama Jun does his own spin on that "Prince Who Eats in the Bathroom" record.

OMGosh! That's great news! I'm so glad they're changing the radio show. I had always thought FukuJun should be at least one of the ones hosting. Or I at least prefer that the hosts be both male. But, I'm biased like that.:p I only listened to the last episode of the net radio and although I liked the skits with the seiyuu in character, I wasn't really into listening to Millay and Sayoko's seiyuu as themselves. They were kinda annoying to me...well, esp. that one older sounding one. So, I'm really looking forward to Yamayama!^o^

Haha, in my opinion the Geass team wised up greatly with this move. ANYONE who's seen one episode of the show would want to get a radio show with Lelouch instead of the girl seiyuus. While that made sense as a pre-production decision (female seiyuus make a safer bet for fans in general, they're more popular. At least with the male fanbase)...it just isn't sound practice after we see the awesome that is Lulu On Crack. I'm hoping the new programme has more in-character skits, too, like what Bones did for FMA a while back. FukuJun is awesome, but Lelouch is better.

And I know, I was sort of annoyed with Millay and Sayoko's seiyuu antics, too. XD The post took many edits to sound as semi-neutral as it is. They're too...high pitched and excitable. The old one was really funny at times, but they really sound too similiar and hyper.
