Question from a reader:
I’ve heard that Megumi Hayashibara’s blog is causing quite a stir. In the worst-case scenario, could she be forced to step down from her roles as Haibara Ai in “Detective Conan,” Anna Kyoyama in “Shaman King,” or Rei Ayanami in “Neon Genesis Evangelion”? Is there also a possibility that her already recorded voice could be replaced by
another voice actor?
About the Controversy Surrounding Megumi Hayashibara’s Blog
Recently, I’ve come across news that Megumi Hayashibara’s blog is facing backlash. She is truly beloved by many fans, so it’s natural to worry whenever there’s an issue. I have a lot of fond memories associated with the characters she voices. For instance, her portrayal of Haibara Ai in “Detective Conan” brings back memories of watching the show with friends during my childhood. I still remember being captivated by the mysteries Conan solved back then.
Possibility of Stepping Down
Now, returning to the question at hand, is there a chance she might be asked to step down from her roles in the worst-case scenario? Of course, being a voice actor is a delicate matter, especially when portraying popular characters that many fans have a strong connection to. However, depending on the nature of the controversy and its impact, production teams might have to make some decisions. Personally, I really don’t want to imagine her voice being replaced by someone else. The unique quality of her performances is something only she can deliver. As a fan, I can only hope for her comeback.
Regarding Already Recorded Voices
I’m also curious about whether the voices that have already been recorded could be replaced by another voice actor. This likely depends on the context of the work and the specifics of the controversy, but generally speaking, it’s quite rare to replace something that has already been recorded. As fans, we might resist hearing characters we’ve grown accustomed to in her voice being portrayed by someone else.
