Bringing this over from the Marchi thread because off-topic lol, but he hasn't been doing voice-work for a while now? That really sucks; I know we've poked him a bit here because he had dated Monica, but he really
does have a gorgeous voice. By chasing him out, they lost themselves quite a talented and valuable actor. Man, what happened between him and Monica to have fucked him over like that? Or what was the final straw?
I started watching
Ragnarök last night since my brother has it, and when I saw this little girl on the main cast:

I braced myself because that looks like a character Monica would voice. Luckily, it's Luci Christian in her
highest-pitched role I've ever heard from her, but this character carries around a little blob named Poi-Poi that talks like a Pokémon, so I thought "Maybe
that's Monica using an alias because she was embarrassed about this role."
Nope, it's some Hawaiian chick who hasn't done anything for FUNimation since
Cat Planet Cuties. I take it she wasn't considered much for the casting couch or she has standards.

(This is an unfortunate picture, here's her looking
much better.

Her name's Majken Bullard. She lives in California,
makes designs, and
wrote a children's book a couple years ago. Not sure how much of a great voice-actress she is, she didn't seem to have landed any main roles outside of Plue in the original
Fairy Tail anime, but I guess she got out of Dodge at the right time.
I haven't been keeping track, how many voice-actresses of FUNimation's of old do we know who have bailed from the industry? For a place that claims they're "diverse", they sure have chased away diversity over the years.
