 Kari Wahlgren is a voice actor whose first role is also one of her best-known: Haruko from FLCL. Besides that groundbreaking role, she's also voiced characters like Fuu (Samurai Champloo), Saber (Fate series), Kagami (Lucky Star), Tayuya (Naruto), just to name a few. Not limiting herself to just anime, she can also be heard in several American animated shows. Some of her well-known characters in that field include Starfire (Teen Titans movies), Jessica and Rick's Spaceship (Rick And Morty), Emma Frost (Wolverine & The X-Men), and many more. Video game enthusiasts might also recognize her as Aranea (Final Fantasy XV), Ashe (Final Fantasy XII), Raine (Tales of Symphonia), Kitana (Mortal Kombat 11), and many others. We were lucky enough to catch up to her at Anime Los Angeles recently, and we discussed some of her favorite lines, various roles, her thoughts on getting to revisit Haruko in the FLCL sequels, and even her jazzy music covers.

 We've been slowly expanding our end of year traditions here at A-to-J, and it's time to do one that we talked about doing last year but ultimately didn't because of time. This article will be our favorite picks of anime, movies, TV, or other visual media from 2023. We originally wanted to just do anime, but realized that it made sense if we opened it up a bit more. Since this our first go at this kind of thing, it's not quite as developed an article as our other end of year things. We all have to start somewhere though, right? Our picks are all over the place, so you just might find something new to watch here. If not, then let us know what we might have missed. We're slowly getting back to doing our full-on awards thing we did back in 2016... Maybe that will come next next year! Anyhow, check these out and maybe tell us about some of your favorite media picks from the past year too!
