Toshiba has released a free android (v2.1+) app as part of their REGZA AppsConnect line that will turn your phone into a TV and DVD/BD Recorder remote and you’ll get 6 of the best anime voice actresses confirming your commands. Voice actresses (seiyuu) featured with the app are among the current best. A bit of a K-ON! reunion as 5 of the 6 are Ali Toyosaki (Yui), Satomi Sato (Ritsu), Ayana Taketatsu (Azuna), Madoka Yonezawa (Ui) and Yoko Hikasa (Mio). The 6th, Maaya Uchida, is a new comer who I’m sure we’ll see more of in the future.
