so hello everyone, long time no see. just wanted to update to say that, even though I’ve barely watched any anime in like a year or two, I wanted to tell you guys about my experience!
I’ve completed one of my life goals today. Checked. Crossed off my bucket list.
I met Sugiyama Noriaki.
Yes, England’s seiyuu (and Sasuke from Naruto). It’s been... almost 8 years since I started watching Hetalia? And honestly, never thought he would come to Canada. Ever!
Meeting him was a bit anticlimactic since there were many people at the autograph signing and he had to go through everyone very quickly. But still! He looks the exact same as his pictures lol. But he was very nice, thanking everyone for coming with a small “thank you” in English. I told him he was my fav seiyuu and he seemed very grateful. Honestly, I could feel tears in my eyes afterwards haha. Although we weren’t allowed to spend much time at all speaking with him (the line was very organized due to many complications that happened yesterday apparently), it was nice to talk with people in line, talking about what they wanted him to sign, etc.
I’m so grateful I got to meet him though. 13 year old me is crying. Also?? Seiyuus (at least all the ones I’ve met) don’t charge for autographs, something greatly appreciated after getting autographs from English voice actors.
I know basically everyone is gone from my Hetalia days, but man, I felt like I owed it to post here. This was prob the place I really got into Hetalia. Even though I don’t watch it anymore (did it get discontinued? Idek), it holds a special place in my heart.
