LAST EXILE -Fam, The Silver Wing- premieres 15 October 2011, Saturday, 7PM WIB (UTC+7), on Animax Asia and airs every Saturday thereafter. Gonzo's 20th anniversary project will be telecast the same day as Japan — just like Tears to Tiara, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Inuyasha: The Final Act and Maid Sama!

I've made up my mind! I'm going to steal that ship!

The twin princesses of the Turan Kingdom are attacked by their enemy. Left for dead, their fate changes after the young pilot Fam rescues them. So goes Animax' synopsis for Episode 1 Open file. The quote above that is from the main program synopsis that also contains the backgrounder to the Turan Kingdom and Ades Federation conflict, as well as the names of the princess pair under assault (Millia il Velch Cutrettola Turan and Liliana il Grazioso Merlo Turan).

Letter Bee premieres 16 August 2011, Tuesday, 630PM WIB (UTC+7), on Animax Asia and airs every weekday thereafter. It replaces 07-Ghost.

Lag Seeing works as a Letter Bee, a postman entrusted to deliver the hearts of people separated from the ones they love.

I lopped off the Animax synopsis there because I wanted to quote TV Trope's Letter Bee observations first: If you're an optimist, you probably think that sounds really nice. If you're smart, you're probably wondering why an ‘elite cadre’ (the Letter Bees) is needed to deliver the mail.

Top 10 Female Seiyuu, My Picks

After listing my top 10 male seiyuu, I think it's kinda unfair if I don't make one for my top 10 female seiyuu. Making this list was easier than making the male seiyuu list, but it still took fully one hour to finish :)

1. Sakamoto Maaya (坂本 真綾)

Favorite roles:
Ryogi Shiki (Kara no Kyokai)
Nino (Arakawa Under the Bridge)
Fujioka Haruhi (Ouran Koukou Host Club)
Favorite song: Saigo no Kajitsu (Tsubasa Tokyo Revelations ED01)
Really loves her voice as Shiki! Damn, her Yume no youna, hibi deshita line from the Kara no Kyokai 7th movie still echoes in my mind. She also sang a lot of anime opening/ending/insert songs, but my favorite is Saigo no Kajitsu.
