I cannot say I have been very surprised when I understood that even in the human world you have such things like hazard and gambling… We have them too! Though… we usually bet on human lives. Anyway, although the number of anime that occupy themselves with gambling may be big, I wanted to make this post about a more specific topic – Poker. Now, this was a challenge!

Top 5: Underrated Anime Characters
Being an initiator of an online anime encyclopaedia of a sort, I have seen a lot of Japanese animation movies, series and OVA.

So, this Top 5 is about the underrated anime characters that I think you should pay more attention to.

Maaya Sakamoto New Song (Video)
The official website of Maaya Sakamoto released the official video of her new single titled “Sayonara Santa”. It was shot in the distant (for Japanese people) country of Ireland. Unlike with a lot other musicians, in Sakamoto-san’s video we can actually see why she travelled the mesmerizing distance to shoot her newest video in such a faraway place. The historical architecture, the green fields, the amazing clouds, the specific rocks- it is all there in the video of “Sayonara Santa”. Even more, it is all entwined with the singer’s personal feel or kawaii giant soap bubbles and a lot of passion.
If you are wondering why am I telling you about this, then read this piece of trivia:
Maaya Sakamoto is the original voice actor for: Ceil Phantomhive (Kuroshitsuji), Crona (Soul Eater), Amelia (Trigun), Sayaka Nakasugi (Tetsuwan Birdy Decode), Haruhi Fujioka (Ouran High School Host Club), Matsuri (Naruto and Shippuuden), Lunamaria Hawke (Mobile Suit Gundam) and more. She is also the wife of anime voice actor Kenichi Suzumura, who on his side has roles such as Lavi from D. Gray Man, Zack Fair from Final Fantasy VII, Okita SOugo from Gintama, Shinn Asuka from Mobile Suit Gundam, Akatsuki Chika from Zombie-Loan and more.
