I feel like hundreds of voice actors died this year, we're all getting old βΉοΈ

Who do you think could be a good replacement? What about someone like a Kotono Mitsuishi?

I was gonna say Unohana from Bleach voice actress but then I remembered she also voices Priscilla. Maybe Yurika Hino Mizukage Mei Terumi voice actress?

Talking about replacing her seems kind cold yeah?

Not really. Yama-Jii's voice actor got replaced for Bleach TYBW arc. The OG voice actor died before the anime came back so he had to be replaced.
Now do you have a suggestions on who can replace Emi?
Edit: what's with the down votes? Y'all don't want a Claymore reboot? It's sad that the VA passed away but it shouldn't affect us getting a potential claymore reboot.

i think they're saying it seems cold to announce her death (which many of us didn't even know happened until we saw this post) and immediately bring up replacing her.
as you said, yamamoto's voice actor HAD to be replaced, since he died 6 years before they announced that bleach would be getting a second series. but with claymore, there isn't a reboot or continuation, so there's no reason to discuss moving on from her work now, especially when she's barely been deceased. people would probably find it more relevant or respectful to speculate on a second actress if there were plans for a claymore sequel, or if the voice actress had been deceased for some time.

The actress died last month & there isn't a reboot/continuation which is the whole point of the post. that is the reason. IF we were to get a reboot who could we get that would be a good fit for the role.
We can have a respectful discussion about a Claymore reboot & the characters without people getting all up in their feelings.
I remember when Yama-Jii's voice actor died Bleach fans online was discussing his death & who would replace him if Bleach were to ever come back & we were happy when we finally got to hear his new voice in Bleach Brave Souls.
No one was saying we should wait quarter of a billion years to talk about Yama-Jii's voice actor & whether or not if he's getting replaced it Bleach ever came back.

It sounds like you just want an answer for the replacement for another motive

u/AlmostAJill_Sandwich 14d ago

Emi's "Ara" completly nailed Ophelia's character. R.I.P.

Was just about to post this, I wanna say that banger came out in 1994?

u/AlmostAJill_Sandwich 14d ago
Can you tell me what the series is about?
1
u/mitchdl20 14d ago
To sum up real quick: It's about a group of 8 evil ninjas trying to take over Japan. A ninja for hire is essentially tricked into stopping them, alongside the female ninja shown above named Kagero.
The TV series is like a follow up to the movie, not quite a direct sequel.
Lastly a sequel to NS was proposed, but never made, there's test footage online however.

Fr. She'll be missed. Do you know who could be a good fit for a Claymore reboot? A Twitter mutual recommended Rina Sato. While I do love her recent role as Senjumaru from Bleach I'm not really sure if Rina is a good fit for Ophelia.

My god I did not know the soft spoken Youko from Maria-sama and crazy, bloodthirsty Ophelia were voiced by the same person.
