Just a quick post on another funny seiyuu connection I noticed.
Kamiya Hiroshi plays the voices of Araragi Koyomi in Bakemonogatari and Orihara Izaya in Durarara!!
Throughout Bakemonogatari, Araragi’s two middle-school sisters make several appearances, though they don’t end up doing much (being major characters in the later novels).
The new Durarara!! OVA introduced Izaya’s twin younger sisters who likewise haven’t had much screentime yet, but are also major characters later in the novels.
I thought it was interesting that both Kamiya Hiroshi characters had two younger sisters. Doesn’t seem like a strong connection? In both shows, the more energetic sister is played by Kitamura Eri and wears a hooded yellow jacket, while the younger/introverted sister wears green.
I noticed this too, and allowed myself a small chuckle. That’s all I allowed myself though. Anything more and I’d be spoiling myself. Like a deep, bellowing laugh? Completely inappropriate.
There’s a new Durarara OVA? Why am I never informed of this?
Did you see the first one? There are two: episode 12.5 and episode 25, which just came out. Both were extras bundled with the DVDs from what I understand. And 25 is like the best ep ever.
Actually Kururi is the older of the Orihara twins. She just decided to pick the introverted personality publicly.
Thanks for the tip!
