[HOAX] Miyamura's ill-health retirement?

Postby Mr. Tines » Sun Nov 03, 2013 3:28 pm

This was causing consternation on /a/ earlier today:



Google renders this as

Yuko Miyamura who played Asuka Langley in Eva is suffering from Graves' disease announced his retirement this season, the impact seems to have gone out to the voice by it

Saw this earlier. Maybe it's legit but that was posted on the 21st, I feel like if it was we'd have heard about it by now from a more trustworthy source?

I could have sworn I saw a blog post recently debunking this as a hoax

if it was true, i really would have to wonder if anno could feasible cast someone else to voice Asuka even though it's a nigh impossibility.
Among the people who use the Internet, many are obtuse. Because they are locked in their rooms, they hang on to that vision which is spreading across the world. But this does not go beyond mere ‘data’. Data without analysis [thinking], which makes you think that you know everything. This complacency is nothing but a trap. Moreover, the sense of values that counters this notion is paralyzed by it.

And so we arrive at demagogy. - Hideaki Anno, 1996

Her Japanese Wikipedia page says nothing about her quitting.

It's a hoax

Do people seriously not read the thread at all before replying to it?

Good. If this hadn't been proven to be a hoax, I would have a) felt sorry for Miyamura, then b) gone on a MURDEROUS RAMPAGE.

I read everything else before, just adding some corroboration. The [HOAX] in the title wasn't up at the time either. Time to lock this thread isn't it?
