DK, have you watched Ore Monogatari? It's perfect for V-day in my opinion.
I think the last romance anime I watched might have been Lovely Complex. :mcconf:

That's harder, to my mind. That's an ongoing, you have to live with it forever thing, instead of one single moment that's the exception instead of the rule.

Tam ~ BW2? What's that? :o That was nice to give out candy. I actually had a really great V-day this year!

I'm so happy it's finally Friday! I need a haircut after work and I'm thinking about going to the coast tomorrow morning to do some shopping. >:T

DK ~ The only anime I've watched that could maybe be romance themed was that Ouran HS Host Club one... and that was ages ago! :mcsmirk: I hope you find one though!
x'D yea.. I started rewatching that one the other day JUST because Vic Mignogna was Tamaki

a lot of people are avoiding OHSHC and anything else Vic voiced in because of what he's done. =w=, then there are those who don't believe he did things, they're harassing those that do and those that told their stories... the anime community is divided now =w= -

Vic's been known to be a diva... he's been banned from a few anime cons through out the years because of his behavior towards con staff.

He holds christian sermons at some of these cons, tells jewish fans that he can 'fix them' aka convert them to christianity.

He reads bible scripture and sings religious songs in the voice of Edward Elric who doesn't believe in god in the first place.. So FMA fans are pissed that he's ruining a characters.. character.. The character was made to not believe in god, but he's trying to make the character christian... which makes him a hypocrite because he says he refuses anything non-cannon (not part of the plot or story or character details) making ed christian is non-cannon as ed is an atheist >->,

The whole not signing yaoi thing... i don't see it as an issue but others do. =x= Because of that and other reasons people have deemed him homophobic. (He's used the excuse "I have gay friends so there for I'm not homophobic!" yet Greg Ayers and J. Michael Tatum who are openly gay voice actors hate his guts. In among all his friends, those are the only ones known to be gay, so where are these 'gay friends' he speaks of?)

i don't see why people would want to ruin good yaoi fan art or even good doujinshi with a voice actors autograph anyway.. get autograph paper for that shiz..

Again I bring up his hypocrit-ness here as he says he refuses to sign non-canon stuff when brought posters of Fai and Kurogane (The two gay lovers from CLAMP's Tsubasa Series), yet there is fan art of someone's OC and Edward Elric standing next to each other WITH HIS SIGNATURE! OC's are NOT Canon! It's on DevientArt.. >->, proof he signs Non-Canon stuff.. he just doesn't want to sign anything BL related. (He supposedly tore up someones official Fai/Kurogane poster because he refused to sign 'gay' stuff. I can't confirm this story though)

He also doesn't believe Fujoshi exist >w> -is a fujoshi- (Fujoshi are girls who like the Boys Love genre (BL/Shounen Ai/Yaoi) a Fudanshi is the male version of a Fujoshi) Fujoshi translates to "Rotten Girl" fufufuuu xD


But the biggest part of what's going on though is the sexual harassment/assault allegations. Fans would ask for a picture and end up being hugged and kissed by him (mainly only the girls get hugs and kisses, and most of them are between 12-16 years old. Male fans just get pictures standing next to him)

The fans that didn't ask for hugs or a kiss would complain like 'man.. ew! your old enough to be my dad!' dude's 56ish and is hugging and kissing 12-16 girls >->

any person in a 'celebrity' position knows to keep fans at arms length really. A side hug...

Some fans have claimed that when he hugged them, hands went under jackets and shirts. in elevators he would grope some of them. He's given his phone number out to underaged girls.

Then there are the assault allegations from a few female voice actors. grabbing their hair at the base of the neck and pulling it tightly, making it hard to escape from then whispering sexual stuff into their ears...

One cosplayer (Jess), new to the scene claims one voice actor got her drunk and had his way with her then told vic she was a con slut. Vic did the hair pull thing and she ran away crying .. (people are posting on her FB page asking how Todd was in bed because they want to sleep with him too.. she never mentioned her rapist by name, but the voice actor posted "I didn't do it!" outing himself...)

Another voice actor, she had her hair pulled like that and had sexual stuff whispered to her.. and she was terrified because back then he had power in the anime industry...

Monica Rial too has a story, but she hasn't shared it with the public.

Rooster Teeth kicked him from the RWBY show and they refuse to work with him any more.. Funimation held an internal investigation and after that investigation they too dropped him from the Morose Mononokean season 2 dubs and stated they won't work with him in the future.


Vic's fans and those who refuse to believe the survivors have been harassing and threatening Monica Rial and anyone who uses the KickVic hashtag.. Funimation's twitter, facebook and even youtube channels are full of "bring back vic!" and "IStandWithVic" and even threats towards funimation staff..

These idiots keep saying its a consipricy so Monica Rial and Jamie Marchi can get vic's jobs and its like.. Vic.. voiced males .. these women voiced females and children.. they 'can't' get vic's jobs...

Monica is now screenshotting every nasty comment and threat made towards her. Her words for that have become a meme already =w=,

https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/ ... e=5CECA359
^what's going on >w> TL;DR


Someone that use to work at an anime con here in america heard some talk about Vic last month and went to twitter and blew up. She was all "I don't see how people still let him in at anime conventions with how he acts!" just told her twitter fans about what she saw..

From there people came out with their own stories of how he was a Diva, or how he touched them/kissed them. 10+ years of bad behavior. How he interacts with the Resimbul Rangers (his fan club made of 14-18 year old girls) how he treats con staff people like slaves...

That was when Rooster Teeth got wind of it and dropped him from RWBY.

From there a few big names in the anime industry (the cosplayer mentioned (Jess), then Jamie, then Monica) came forth with their stories which got Funimation (which is now under new management since Sony took over) to do an internal investigation. during the investigation, voice actresses who don't want to be harassed online like Monica and Jamie are, came forth anonymously. No one knows who they are. But from there, there was more than enough evidence, witness statements, names, dates, times, places... more than enough for Funimation to drop Vic and refuse to work with him in the future.

Anime community is divided into 3's

IStandWithVic
KickVic
and the ones who don't really care and are just reading all the fking drama =w=

I'm glad I NEVER watch dubs as a personal preference, so that no anime memories of mine are ruined cause of him. I'm so angry at the polarisation of the anime community though. I don't know how anyone can stand with him.

Actually.. the dub of OHSHC.. is kinda fun to watch knowing what kind of person vic is >w>,

I mean.. when everyone tells Tamaki that he goes over board.. the jokes of "mr police man! hes stalking a girl!" and stuff...

Tamaki who was voiced by Vic... its like.. it fits so perfectly.. pervert for pervert >w>, (Sorry, but I rooted for Hikaru to win Haruhi's heart =w= (Or Kaoru...)

Haha okay that's mildly hilarious!
But, you know, I heard he dubbed for Fai in Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles. And that's one of my fave anime characters ever, so. I can't tell ya how glad I am I only watch subs because of this particular character >.>

After reading all that, I feel really badly for everyone else who worked on the dub. They put in hard work and didn't do anything wrong and now people will forever think of that man's actions and the scandal when they think about this animation that lots of innocent people worked hard on, too. It must be very frustrating for them, and that's not even counting the troubles they may have had trying to work with someone who could act like that.
Poor other voice actors.
Well, at least they should have a better working environment now!
