Mary was spot on, but the others...

Kuroko Shirai. Sounds like a fucking granny, ugh. I wish Toma would punch this bitch in the face every time she screams "ONEE-SAMA".

I think you're more annoyed with her voice rather than her voice acting then. Satomi Arai actually portrays her character really well.

I'd have to agree. Her voice acting was pleasantly funny. I mean, how could anyone not laugh at this?


She does the ojousama so well

That one show this season where the chick has a coffin on her back and she has downs except with a cute face.

Not necessarily the seiyuu's fault, but it's just such an easy fucking job. No real effort required for that roll.

The prerequisites for that roll would be:
1. Be able to read disjointedly
2. Sound flat as fuck

House of the Dead 2 is subtitled... and it was English voices even in the original Japanese version, so it's not dubbed... that counts, right? right?!

I could just list a whole bunch of performances from Greg Ayres and fill an entire thread. Especially his performances in Sentai dubs where his terrible voice acting really shines because of how often they miscast him.

His absolute worst performance? When Sentai made the genius desicion that Greg Ayres with his irritating, shrill and raspy voice and his tiny, tiny range would be the perfect choice to play Masato (An alpha male character with a deep voice) in Little Busters.

Surprised Rie Kugimiya hasn't been mentioned yet. Considering how overused her voice is and the type of character roles she has.
I don't dislike her voice, but it's everywhere


Can you name the last show she was in?
I think it was Aguri Madoka/Cure Ace in Doki Doki Precure. I hated her character but Rie's voice acting was good.

Rie's not a bad VA but apart from Iori and Taiga I really don't like TsundeRie. Then again Iori isn't that much of a tsundere and Taiga is just a much better character than her other tsunderes

Disregarding how 'annoying' a voice was, what I think was the worst voice acting I've heard in anime is non other than the legendary Mars of Destruction.

and I know we aren't supposed to talk about dubs, but Greg Ayres is a plague.

What do you mean by "can't set a tone for any of his characters"? He has a clear, different identity in most of his roles. He's probably one of the top 5 most versatile English anime voice actors out there in my books. Greg Ayres does well primarily as comedic characters or those little cheeky side characters.

She actually voices a main character in Grisaia no Kajitsu and her voice is fucking amazing.

Dont blame the actress, blame Key.


You know what's funny is that it seems that Japanese seiyuus can be forgiven for being miscast but English voice actors get miscast and all of a sudden the street doesn't go both ways lol.

What voices? The English ones? I thought they fit wonderfully!

Soul sounds like what he is: A cool tough guy with a heart.
Maka meanwhile is a smart tough fighter with a good head on her shoulders. I think her voice fits that too.

I'll be interesting to hear what it sounds like. I do hope they didn't mess up that bad with the casting as you say they did.

I tilted my head when reading that, thinking my brain somehow managed to mix up the entire sentence in a very skewed manner.

Guess it didn't :O....


OT: I can count all the English dubs I actually think are above average/good/great without even using the full capacity of the fingers on my right hand...

As for Japanese voice actors there are a few I have a dislike for, but usually not for their performances, but rather for their voices. IMO there are very few Japanese VAs that are actually bad at voice acting, the majority are world class, no doubt.

There's only two performances where I have actually really hated the performances; Yuzuyu's VA from Aishiteruze Baby and Aoi's VA from Myself;Yourself. I actually stopped watching Myself;Yourself because I couldn't stand the voice actress out-of-this world high pitched voice and annoying speech.

In Aishiteruze Baby the voice actress felt... plain. Like she was reading a script, rather than acting. It's pretty much the same impression I get with 9/10 EngDubs. They shouldn't be reading, they should be acting. And to top it off I didn't think that her voice fit the character as a whole, nor the character's age.

Kenshin's Japanese voice is an abomination. I'm forced to watch the English dub because of it, and I hate most English dubs..

Just because it's not some super-manly voice? Pah!
It fits the character well, and despite what some may say, it still sounds like a man's voice to me.
I watched the dub first, back when it aired on Toonami, and have recently went back and started re-watching the show from the beginning, this time in Japanese.
Only three episodes in, and I can declare that Kenshin's Japanese seiyuu is much better than his English counterpart.
The English dub has SO many problems with line delivery. Everybody's flatter than a pancake, Kenshin's voice actor included.

Battlechili1 said:

Not many, unfortunately. I like Sean Schemmel, he does a fine job... but he really paints Goku as almost an entirely different character than Toriyama originally intended.
Like many others, I grew up watching the dub of DBZ on Toonami... however, I've recently really come to appreciate Masako Nozawa's performance, and think she does a much better job of capturing Goku's character, overall.

Hmmm, difficult to pinpoint any specific example because if there is the smallest indication of bad voice acting (I only ever watch sub) I stop watching that anime. Bad habit but I put much of my opinion of an anime into the quality of the voice acting.

Minori Chihara in Tenjou Tenge - I mean, she is a TERRIBLE seiyuu, but in this show she was absolutely the worst.
Then there was Miwa Oshiro who voiced Chiharu in Eiken, but hey, she's a gravure model, not a seiyuu, so I'm not that mad.

Greg Ayres - Hands down the most irritating, annoying and hair pulling voice out there!!!
I used to find it irritating, but it was tolerable. Then i heard him in Dead Man Wonderland, and for some reason his voice there was awful, hurt my ears. I just couldn't watch. Ever since then i hear him in virtually EVERY anime out there, and I just hate him more and more because he ruins an anime. He makes a painfully irritating sound with his voice, its very cracky, and sounds distorted and to add to that its childish. He needs to speak properly, seriously, why does he keep doing that, can't he speak normal, maturely? I feel he puts too much emotion into his voice, and the way he expresses words is too high.
It is far too common too, i can't stand it anymore, I hope they stop giving him important roles especially in high rated animes.

His dental problem was a sign that he needs to stop voicing. I don't mean to be mean, but its just frustrating when you start a new anime, and then his voice shows up. Its instantly distinguishable from the rest. It doesn't sound calming or soothing at all.

There are other voices that can be irritating, but its possible to deafen it out. Just not greg.
