    She is a wonderful voice actress! hide show

    I'm not sure what it is but she has a gift. I recognized her voice after a couple of episodes in Blood+ and I immediately started watching and loving it. I realized she had done other shows and figured out most of shows I liked she was in. She has had a role in many of my favorite shows already like Naruto, Samurai Champloo, and Cardcaptors. She has an amazing talent for what she does. It seems like she is a seriously hot item, and to start young at 11 is like "wow". It's like she was meant to do this. She really was at the right place at the right time. I just think she is great! Keep it up!
