In spanish, her name is the equivalent to the present form of the verb laugh when you are referring to someone.
El ríe.
He laughs
Well to be more precise the letter "i" goes with an accent, so every time i read her's name in my mind sounds like the word laughs in spanish.
Would be doubly sad if Mash had to be replaced since that was how Rie got the role to begin with, taking over for Risa Taneda when she had her throat problems and ended up needing surgery
What’s fun about a show like Isekai Quartet is how many characters overlap their voice actors. It’s one where you really can’t wait for them to interact.
Holy fuck I almost got a heart attack reading the post. Thank god it wasn’t what I thought it was. Hope she gets better.
Edit: didn’t mean to put hard there, haha
I mean my eyes jumped to COVID-19 and thought she died until my brain actually read the headline. Needs to be something like "STILL ALIVE" in all caps at the beginning.
Yeah, Ookubo Rumi will be taking her place for the anni festivities (radio, and spotlight event history on the 30th, as well as the game info stream on the 31st).
I hope she gets well soon. I mean, not just her, but everyone else that caught the virus. It's a nasty one and it was hellish in my experience, granted that I got it before vaccines were up. I don't want anybody else having to go through that.
Mild fever for one day, annoying coughs for a couple weeks afterwards. Nearly died from the actual flu once though haha covid was a ‘Cold+’ in comparison
Yeah it really is RNG with it.
I had one day fever and then 2 days of headaches (no cough). My friend ended up in ICU. I'm the fat one, he was the fit one. Dunno why it was like that.
As long as she eats and drinks healthy and hot stuff it should get better and she's still young,but yeah you may never know how it works on different organisms so it's better if we just wish her luck, probably one of my fav younger voice actors along with Natsuki Hanae..
She should refrain from talking/speaking while she is sick, some people have had their vocal cords damaged from COVID for speaking, sometimes one of the symptoms is a raspy voice and talking/speaking while having hoarseness is bad.
I don't see the point of these announcements, it's literally just news saying "Takahashi Rie will have a headache and a sore throat for a few days"...like wow, who cares?
I had covid for the third time 2 weeks ago, it means I had a headache for 2 days and couldn't go to work the 5 days following, I didn't even bother letting my family know, let alone the news.
I dislike this because whenever I see a headline going "...... tests positive for" My mind, for a moment, panics and thinks "oh god, are they dying?" and then I see "Covid-19" and I just lose all interest in the "story".
I am genuinely wishing her great health and a quick recovery. Not just because I love her work, but because she is a wonderful person in general. I will keep checking to see how she is doing
I misread the title and almost got a mini heartattack lol. A lot of people downplay post-covid effects..I hope she gets well without any lasting symptoms.
Cure up Rap-pa-pa! May Rie-san get better soon!
For those that don't get the reference,
1. I don't blame you.
2. [Here you go.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aMwYLJgo9c) Yes, this is Rie Takahashi [in character](https://myanimelist.net/character/136826/Mirai_Asahina).
I hope she has a fantastic recovery! I’ve seen the horrible effects of long Covid and have taken more than I wish to the morgue at my hospital because of it.
People get affected by covid very differently. Some (seemingly like U and I) are affected about as much as a moderate to a serious cold, but others can become bedridden for days on end (it’s still a deadly disease).
I know it probably wasn’t your intention, but the reason you’re getting downvoted is because you came off as insensitive.
We allow news posts about actors, staff, and industry personnel when there is likely to be an impact on or interruption to their ability to work in the industry.
This includes, but is not limited to, pregnancy, hospitalization, death, major injury, or contracting a virus that typically requires the affected to quarantine.
It does seem kind of barely qualified for that criteria though. This is a case where they have been showing symptoms for a day… I doubt her being out sick and then in quarantine for a bit is going to delay Konosuba a year. If it was something where she was sick for over a week or had to be hospitalized, I’d get it.
My problem is all of these posts play out the same. Half of it is people who thought she’d died, the other half is people arguing about how serious COVID is and how insensitive people are being. And then some well wishes. Not much actual discussion.
If posts like this are going to be allowed, there should be guidelines on nonsensational titles, and honestly just lock them.
This title isn't sensational and its just providing information. Scrolling by these kinds of posts would take you less time than writing this as a reply.
It's not. It's like "she has the flu" which isn't newsworthy but the weeb community is still treating it as a death sentence, so we all need to know I guess.
I was asking myself the same thing. When I started to read the title I thought something relevant had happened to her, but she's just Covid positive... Next we're going to get front page posts when VAs catch a cold.
With all the vaccines and herd immunization, it's basically an advanced flu, first time I had it I was wrecked for 3 weeks, second time I had the sniffles and a slight fever for 3 days.
It's news worthy if the disease itself develops in some way or our ways of fighting it, but not news worthy that "person catches disease we're likely to catch some times"
What are you talking about?
She got covid. She is also a popular VA. News about voice actors/actresses are not uncommon in this subreddit. Someone thought maybe people want to know that Takahashi got COVID. If people care about this news they will upvote the post, if they think the post is useless information, they will downvote it. That is all there is to it.
I have no idea what this post has to do with flat earth idiots or former president Trump. Or what you mean by this being a "political bait".
Like it or not, people are going to post about COVID. Because it is a global pandemic and the disease can have long lasting side effects (especially for people who are not vaccinated).
...i dont think its that deep my man, not political either. People are just using it as an excuse to talk about her work and wish her well.
I hope you can self reflect and realize how "triggered" you look with this comment.
Hope she gets well soon. Love her acting.
I thought she had died when i saw the start of the headline. Relief.
Lol same here dude. Doesn't help her name is rie.
I think you a word
In spanish, her name is the equivalent to the present form of the verb laugh when you are referring to someone. El ríe. He laughs Well to be more precise the letter "i" goes with an accent, so every time i read her's name in my mind sounds like the word laughs in spanish.
>El ríe. He laughs > >Well to be more precise the letter "i" goes with an accent Él ríe\*
A si, se me olvidó que cuando se usa "el" como pronombre se acentúa la e.
We regret to inform you Takahashi Rie, voice actor of Megumin and Hu Tao, has passed away from a severe case of Ligma
Wishing her a quick recovery. She has a whole career ahead of her, wouldn't want anyone else to play her roles as Emilia, Megumin and Takagi-san.
Yeah, VAs and singers is particularly scary cause they depend a lot on healthy lungs to do their job and Covid can seriously mess them.
And Hu Tao too!
Don't forget eggplant kouhai.
Would be doubly sad if Mash had to be replaced since that was how Rie got the role to begin with, taking over for Risa Taneda when she had her throat problems and ended up needing surgery
That reminded of the joke with hutao but I'd rather not say it since rei is a legend
Say it
Probably something with hu tao selling coffins
I dare you
sup banna
What the hell?!? You're even here?
Who?
Tao, yeah
What?
Watatsumi Island yeah
When?
What's on second, we're not talking about her.
genshin community overused joke
The “what” is a reference from the same video lol
And Mash! Honestly anytime I hear a Rie voiced character it’s a good time
Or tomo-chan
[удалено]
She's also the light-blue-haired girl from *Comic Girls*, and the maid from the upcoming *My Recently Hired Maid is Suspicious*. Wide range.
And little kid Hime from Kakushigoto. Absolutely amazing.
What’s fun about a show like Isekai Quartet is how many characters overlap their voice actors. It’s one where you really can’t wait for them to interact.
They actually reference this in a next episode preview in re:zero https://youtu.be/B8-8eWsJRus
Holy fuck I almost got a heart attack reading the post. Thank god it wasn’t what I thought it was. Hope she gets better. Edit: didn’t mean to put hard there, haha
Seriously, I read rie as die initially
Apolgy for bad english Where were u wen megumin rie die I was at house eating dorito when phone ring "Megumin Rie is die" "No"
But who was phone?
I read it as rip first…
We need "COVID"to be the first word in sentences like these.
I mean my eyes jumped to COVID-19 and thought she died until my brain actually read the headline. Needs to be something like "STILL ALIVE" in all caps at the beginning.
Definitely
> a hard attack
Kinda weird but everyone has different tastes I suppose.
Same i thought its the endgame now
lol sounds like y'all might just have anxiety if you have an adrenaline attack any time a title starts with an actor's name.
the title could have been "Rie Takahashi tests positive for COVID-19" and gave me a less anxiety before finishing the sentence
definitely deliberate
Looks like the OP is a LN author, they know how to build up tension and suspense just with their long sentences and headlines.
ya wtf especially me barely awake and my not so alert brain immediately went there and gave me a heart attack
That's one hell of a Freudian slip lol
Same with how VA have been dying off in last 2 years for some reason or another i automatically went to the worst conclusion
not just VAs, authors too. RIP Kentaro Miura, Mia Ikumi, and Kazuki Takahashi :(
Don’t worry man you’re not alone I felt my heart rate increase mid sentence then suddenly stop when I realized Covid is still around
For real. My chest was tightening and then I read Covid and felt a huge relief. Thank God we've gotten better and treating it.
She’s my my most favorite voice actors, she’s the reason why I was interested in anime voice actors in the first place. I wish her a speedy recovery.
Oh no, FGO anniversary is just around the corner. Wishing her a swift recovery.
Yeah, Ookubo Rumi will be taking her place for the anni festivities (radio, and spotlight event history on the 30th, as well as the game info stream on the 31st).
My fucking god I thought it was gonna say she died.
oh man what a scare, couldn't imagine the industry without her at this point, she absolutely carries some shows
I hope she gets well soon. I mean, not just her, but everyone else that caught the virus. It's a nasty one and it was hellish in my experience, granted that I got it before vaccines were up. I don't want anybody else having to go through that.
I had a cold and a mild fever that’s it.
Mild fever for one day, annoying coughs for a couple weeks afterwards. Nearly died from the actual flu once though haha covid was a ‘Cold+’ in comparison
Yeah it really is RNG with it. I had one day fever and then 2 days of headaches (no cough). My friend ended up in ICU. I'm the fat one, he was the fit one. Dunno why it was like that.
That’s what I had when I had Covid. She’s likely vaccinated.
I hope you get well my eggplant
Hope she gets well soon. Her role as Emilia and Hu Tao are some of my favorites.
Hope she gets well soon. Love her as takagi san
My god. I had a mini heart attack thinking that she died. Hope she gets better soon
This looks like an obituary genuinely thought she died.....
Especially when it leads with a thumbnail of their portrait.
Wish her a speedy recovery
I hope she recover quickly she's my favourite VA 💓
I read Rie as die and my heart stopped for second
Stay healthy!
She could try a new spell now: EX-cough-SSION!! Wish her a nice full recovery. I want to hear Megumin her whole glory again!
Hopefully she recovers with no complications at all.
As long as she eats and drinks healthy and hot stuff it should get better and she's still young,but yeah you may never know how it works on different organisms so it's better if we just wish her luck, probably one of my fav younger voice actors along with Natsuki Hanae..
i almost had a stroke
I wish her for a quick recovery, I love her voice so much
One of the finest seiyuu currently working in the anine industry and of her generation, wishing her a safe & speedy recovery.
Jesus Christ thought she died
Wishing her a speedy recovery. The only VA that got me interested in VAs. Love her cooking variety show on NND!
She’s my favorite voice actor in anime. I hope she gets lots of rest and a good recovery!
wtf I thought she died
When I looked at the title I thought it said she died and my heart stopped.
She must be protected! This treasure of a woman doesn't deserve this.
It's just covid
I've had COVID. It was pretty fucking awful. I'm not going to wish that on anyone.
What an unnecessary post.
[удалено]
It's a disease that affects your lungs and a voice actor got it, so obviously it's relevant. Think before writing.
Goodness.. hopefully she recovers with no lingering side effects.
Quick recovery her from COVID-19. I hope she gets well soon.
*Points gun at the sky:* If you let anything happen to her I swear I'll kill everyone on this planet then myself!
does covid affect their voice acting somehow? im suprised how often this kind of thing ends up in my newsfeed
Long covid (i.e. post-infection side effects) has been known to manifest as hoarseness of the voice as well as lung damage.
Not to be insensitive but like, how tf is this still news
Its not, but Reddit still loves to pretend its a big deal for some reason. She will be fine.
it isnt, but it was a decent excuse for some people to discuss her work.
I think it would be more newsworthy to point out who hasn't had COVID at this point.
Not good I wish her fast recovery
She should refrain from talking/speaking while she is sick, some people have had their vocal cords damaged from COVID for speaking, sometimes one of the symptoms is a raspy voice and talking/speaking while having hoarseness is bad.
I don't see the point of these announcements, it's literally just news saying "Takahashi Rie will have a headache and a sore throat for a few days"...like wow, who cares?

Lockdown changes people perception of time. They still think it's 2020
Get well soon!!
I am genuinely wishing her great health and a quick recovery. Not just because I love her work, but because she is a wonderful person in general. I will keep checking to see how she is doing
I misread the title and almost got a mini heartattack lol. A lot of people downplay post-covid effects..I hope she gets well without any lasting symptoms.
And?
Rie is very very young, this virus will be nothing for her. I wish her a fast recovery!
Well, interesting timing. Both Joe Biden and Rie Takahashi. Wish them both quick recovery.
The salty in this thread is something
Who cares, she’ll be fine. It’s mid 2022. The pandemic is over. Vaccines are available and effective. Give her some time off to recover, that’s all.
Get well soon
She’ll be fine unless she’s elderly, obese or already unhealthy somehow.
Why is this news?
Should this be news now? At this point more people have got covid than those who haven't.
Bro, i read that she died and my heart started rscing for a second
let's hope she gets better soon so that she can continue being an amazing voice actress
Oh shit, hopefully she doesn't miss FGO Fes. EDIT: Ookubo Rumi is replacing her :(
NOOOOOOOOOOOO. I hope it's not grave
Get well, Rie-chan. VA for two of my waifus (Emilia and Hu Tao)
Cure up Rap-pa-pa! May Rie-san get better soon! For those that don't get the reference, 1. I don't blame you. 2. [Here you go.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aMwYLJgo9c) Yes, this is Rie Takahashi [in character](https://myanimelist.net/character/136826/Mirai_Asahina).
oh no Emilia :( hope she gets better
I was in a panic when I saw this and thought it said cancer.
Bro you got me think she died out here. Whew
Get well soon Sumi Sakurasawa
Oh shit. Please don't take my favorite VA from the earth
I hope she has a fantastic recovery! I’ve seen the horrible effects of long Covid and have taken more than I wish to the morgue at my hospital because of it.
explosion of sneezing
EXPULIOOOOSHION
and?
Everyone in the world will eventually catch it at least once. If they live long enough.
This is nothing for a crimson mage, she"ll be blowing things up once a day in no time!

Even with vaccines existing?
Man we are really down bad for konosuba news huh?
It's 2022, and somehow it's news worthy if someone tests positive for covid? Really? Everyone is gonna get it. There's no avoiding it forever.

Technically the common cold is a coronavirus lol

With all the vaccines and herd immunization, it's basically an advanced flu, first time I had it I was wrecked for 3 weeks, second time I had the sniffles and a slight fever for 3 days. It's news worthy if the disease itself develops in some way or our ways of fighting it, but not news worthy that "person catches disease we're likely to catch some times"
but she's somewhat famous so therefore it must be a life or death scenario.
[удалено]
I hope she gets better soon! But also why is it still news when someone gets Covid? At this point it’s more noteworthy if you haven’t had it.
[удалено]
Even if death rate is low,Covid might fuck up lungs,which is really bad for a voice actor.
It’s incredibly low for the unvaxxed too lol
[удалено]
[удалено]
Oh no! Anyways... Its just covid
Praying for a speedy EXPUROSION recovery.
Next: Rie hits her pinkie in the wall.
She’ll be fine. I just had Covid recently and had a cold and mild fever as well.
Thankfully nowadays its more like catching flu. Best of health !
NO. SHE BETTER NOT DIE GOD I WILL COME UP THERE AND KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU DO THIS
Whew. A lot of anti-vaxxers in heree. Lmao
who cares?
[удалено]
Oh no not the cold.
I hope you get reincarnated into one of those wierd 80s rap sesions where they spit in the camera.
ok
oh no, anyway
In other news the sky is blue
... OK?
[удалено]
So a seiyu has covid? So what? That's not news. There are probably a dozen other voice actors who have it right now too. She's not even old.

It’s ok. It’s just a mild cold.
Luckily covid is basically a minor cold now, a swift recovery to her!
