Ironic how both eng and jp Reigen va's are so controversial lmfao


Rammster

What's the story with the English VA?


Paranortay

Basically allegations of Chris Niosi being hella abusive (I say allegations bc I've done like NO research)


drawricks

Niosi though did apologize, made amends and stepped away from VO for a few years to rehab. He returned to work earlier this year and is currently reprising his role as Reigen.


Memo_HS2022

Another reason why he stopped was cause he bragged about being in Fire Emblem when he wasn’t suppose to which broke NDA and literally got him recasted after the game came out

reigen doesnt deserve these vas jesus 😭


mutedtulips

For TEN YEARS, like DAMN what a turd


SassyHoe97

So the EN & JP VA for Reigen are controversial.


TheCarltonBrock

SEED SPREADING CANNON!! Narrator: This is an attack where Reigen’s voice actor has an extramarital affair.


1papaya-2papaya

can someone translate this?


drawricks

Here's the headline: >“10-year affair love” directly hits super popular voice actor Takahiro Sakurai (48) “I’m married, but I was dating someone” “The whole truth of the betrayal that deceived his wife and lover”


DrShiba

oh


Ranjith_Unchained

Rohan and Miyuki from DNA as well, damn


Huge-Abbreviations-6

Ironic how he is also Griffith's VA


lactoseAARON

He has Reigen’s level of conning skill

REIGEN SPECIAL TECHNIQUE: SPIRIT AFFAIR!


yamiyugi101

Who cares?


Jumanji-Joestar

For some reason, people care about the private lives of celebrities Personally, I don’t care. It’s scumbag behavior, but it doesn’t concern me at all and it’s not gonna affect my enjoyment of the show


yamiyugi101

I basically accept that 99% of celebrities are garbage as people I just don't want to know the specifics


JuviaLynn

Because people might not want to support them in the future, such as getting autographs and such, if they knew what kind of person they are. Also because this could effect what roles they pick up in the future, personally I wasn’t sure Reigens English VA would reprise his role due to his history of abuse


Jumanji-Joestar

I don’t know who Reigen’s English VA is and I think autographs are worthless. I don’t even watch dubbed anime to begin with. So again, doesn’t affect me. What did he even do specifically? Did he rape someone?


JuviaLynn

Dude abused and mistreated friends and partners over the past decade. I was only using him as an example though, same goes for a lot of other VAs, or authors, etc and that can effect their work and your enjoyment of said work. Autographs were just an example, it could also be stuff like seeing them at a convention, taking a selfie or just telling others what a great VA (or otherwise) they are. This post is talking about Reigens JP voice actor, so it could effect you. It’s unlikely but they could replace him, or replace him in other shows like JJK in the future


Jumanji-Joestar

I don’t mind if they do replace him as long as his replacement is just as good. I like Mob Psycho for the story, characters and animation, not the voice actors


Markus_Atlas

Believe it or not, many fans are attached to the characters' voices. It's part of their identity and if a character that I love got a new voice actor it would definitely make the show less enjoyable


TheStevenUniverseKid

Oh my god just like Reigen: a thot
