[Discussion] Lucy Heartfillia's Voice Actress Gets Banned

[Silverforsakenhamster]

Okay earlier last night I was trying to see who did the voices for Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza. So when I found out who they were I went on tumbler to see their tags. Well apparently Aya Hirano, Lucy's seiyuu (voice actress), is a little bit of the reason why Fairy Tail might be on hiatus.
Okay here I'm going to show you an explanation that was already been said

Now if anyone knows Aya Hirano you would know she's not only a voice actress but a musician as well.
Heres a picture from a website that has more details about Hirano:

Overall Thoughts:
So the reason because she got banned is that she had a scandal. The scandal had affected her contract, people didn't trust her, and she lost her respect. As an obsess fan of Jpop, I was shocked. I just literally found out yesterday she voiced as Haruhi! And that was amazing that she did the song "God Knows..." the song in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I would be worshipping Hirano but after knowing this, I lost my respect for her. It's just sad that a person with so much fame and talent can be so stupid and ruin themselves. By the way she's 25, 10 years younger than me...
I feel so bad for the anime Fairy Tail and other animes Hirano was in. It's because of her now Fairy Tail needs a new Lucy Heartfillia. and guess what I loved Hirano's voice acting because it suited Lucy.
I don't know if I have the right to look down on people like this but it's just if you're a seiyuu and the image behind so many great anime characters. And then all of a sudden they had a *** scandal, then that ruins the character and anime. And the fact that you are 25 clearly states theres something wrong with if you been involved in a *** scandal.
What do you think guys? Shocked? For me I am never gonna listen to "God Knows..." ever again, unless its the english one. I'm just disappointed something like this happened and now Fairy Tail has to suffer from it even more than the ex-seiyuu. Of course Hirano loses her job, but now Fairy Tail has to go through many things just to get a new Lucy. I wonder what Hiro Mashima would say about this?

And here's a link about the *** scandal:

For those who thought it was long I'll tell you that Hirano had slept with 3 out of bandmates and pretty soon photos were published in a magazine called Bubka.

she's talented and worked hard for her money. yes she screwed up with the *** scandal but personally i think it's unfair that her career gets destroyed because of it while others in america, kim kardashian for example, get a huge popularity boost and later become even more famous because of it

EDIT: what exactly was the scandal?

 

[Chibiusa]

I'm admittedly not that big a fan of Fairy Tail but I am a HUGE fan of the Haruhi Suzumiya series (my avatar, sig, and profile being proof of this) and I find it appalling that this is Haruhi's seiyuu! I agree with you, I have lost most of my respect for her as a celebrity. I wish there were more details on this scandal

 

[Braveknight]

Nice searching bro , can i hire you to search for my things also? xd

OT: now i can live in peace, thank you!

 

[LegendarySwordsman]

So stupid 25 ? and has *** whit her band, and harrases another band member sexually ? That's retarded shes also 25... I guess the show was better whitout her who knows what she could have done else..

You see I don't really have that much info on it but maybe later I give you something. I just found this out so I'll look it up.

bro *** scandal doesn't exactly mean anything to me... I just googled it and okay having *** with 3 members in your band is slutty but from what i read it's not like she raped them... people can have consensual *** in japan can't they?

 

[SonictheHedgehog]

Darn, that stinks. Thanks for the news.

 

[Jellal Fernandes]

At least we still have the manga...The anime isn't that entertaining anyway. U_U

My guess is that the 3 band members probably didn't know she had *** with the others and maybe that's why. But if you're in a band with an opposite ***, never have a special relationship with them. I learned that from Otano Prince-sama (shoujo anime). And maybe it's because she sexually harassed the fourth guy who was the bassist as the source in the second spoiler box says.

Yea but the anime is how most people use to catch up with Fairy Tail. And if newcomers knew about Hirano, would they watch the anime now?

 

[Caliburn]

Cynical laugh here. Well at least it beats the crappy reason people who don't like FT give, namely that the FT sucks and is losing major popularity, for the end/hiatus of the FT anime.

Pretty awkward to imagine Lucy in a *** scandal *images Lucy in a bunny suit, only with a towel, bathing with Cana, raising her blouse to show her boobs* oh wait, it's not :ls:

 

[Totsuka No Tsurugi]

this is old..... am quite surprise that most people in here don't know about this, even Caliburn don't know about this ???
its from 2 years ago, and there is no way that this scandal was the reason for the current hiatus concerning FT anime.....

She signed a deal in 212 with Universal Sigma; after she left Space Craft. So, it's not like she's been banned from voicing forever or that her career is over - she just changed contracts. It's up to anime studios saying 'yes' or 'no' to appointing her now. She's still working!!!

On the scandal, I don't even see it as shocking. She had *** with 3 members of her band but there wasn't any video/porn/mms made [the pic is just a sensuous after-*** one]. It wasn't even a rape kind of thing or torture, hell, it even seems to have been consensual *** with all of them and it isn't like she took money from them ect...

Yes, her deeds are a bit slutty and loose, but it's her personal life. I don't get why she should get such treatment frankly. If we were to see all celebrities, I bet so many of them have different one night stands with different people. Right now, the J-society has just use her as sacrificial lamb.

It's the first time - a voice actor is revealed in something like that (though some seiyuus left and turned to different professions). The people just want to hate on her by jumping on the 'Let's hate her because she did a wh*re like thing'. There is a large body of Japanese otaku who actively dislike Hirano Aya right now. That's unfair because realistically, so many people had *** with different persons at some point in their life.

Why can't she live her life the way she wants, just because otakus and fans make a 'saint' like image of her? She has been appointed because of her voice that is archetypal to bubbly heroines like Haruhi, Lucy (FT), Mamori (Eyeshield), Layla (NANA), Misa (Death Note) and more... She became an idol; due to her singing and unfortunately, Japanese otakus like their idols for posing sexy pictures in magazines, singing songs in concerts, keep a fanclub alive but can't appreciate if she has done something a bit more in personal life...

Frankly, the true scandal is not that she slept with 3 guys and post a pic later on. The true scandal is how she has boycotted of her profession. Now, otakus and agencies don't want because seemingly, a person like her will make any anime character sound like a sl*t. That's plain stupid and laughable.

Oh, I'll drop something. Look at some of her past characters. What she did is something that Layla (NANA) did quite a bit in NANA. Misa Amane (Death Note) also did lots of lingeries shoots and allowed Light to keep her as a b*tch. Oh, and I forgot to all die-hard fans of Haruhi, this is something I could actually see Haruhi do - like bored of life and try something "new". I'm flabbergasted by how otakus and agencies want to preserve integrity, honour, chastity of a digital anime characters but are all okay about ruining a persons profession.

I'm not a fan of Hirano Aya but I view of what she went through as harsh and unfair. So, I'd wish her good luck. Hopefully, she'll get a new job other than seiyuus or that agencies could appoint her despite her "reputation." Perhaps, she can be a seiyuu for hentai/ecchi anime characters...Anyhow, I wish her courage and success in her future endeavours

I doubt there are really that many people that keep regular tabs on Japanese voice actors. I'm a manga person, anime is secondary and I only watch it when I'm bored after haven't watched any new episodes for a few weeks or even months. Let alone that I start digging into the private affairs of the voice actors (which I really don't care about). The only thing I ever amused myself with was trying to find the same voice actors in different animes I watched based on their voice alone. In fact most of the time I don't really want to know who is voicing who as that might ruin the way you look at a character. I still find it weird to look at Mako of LoK (cartoon ok, not anime) who is voiced by the actor who played Bud Bundy in Married With Children.

well in some site that i know they actually did this pointless stuff, mostly only people who overly attached with an anime.manga do that kind of thing, as for me i read this on Anime news network back in 2011 it was in the headline so anyone will noticed.

 

[Scorps]

Don't believe they would cancel an anime just because of the voice actor being sexuallly ... hum... how to put it nicely... exposed.
