| We all know this is common in animated series in general. When do you feel its appropriate for a young male to be voiced by a woman? Has it ever felt to obvious and out of place on a character to you? When i saw an episode of FMA in sub Al sounded way to feminine for me to believe it was an actual boy. |

| Megumi Obata hits it out of the park as Shinji Ikari, if you ask me. Especially in Rebuild 2.0. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| For the most part it doesnt feel out of place because they're usually incredible at their job |
  |
| Nope, not at all. All that matters is if their voice suits the characters' roles. Romi Park did a ton of teenage-boy roles, and I found nothing wrong with their voices. |
 |
| As long as it's the first dub I watch, I probably won't mind. But hearing Aoyama (Tokyo mew mew) having a female.dubber after I heard him dubbed by a guy in the Hebrew verison, I started laughing. On the other way around. those the characters I'm most afaid to be dubbed to English or whatever. |
 |
| Nope. They're paid professional seyuus fffs. They're good at what they do. |
| It sounds completely natural, as teenage characters shout a lot. I don't have a problem with it in the least. |
 |
| It sounds fine, but their voices don't crack. Wish they would add that detain once. |
| Mrs. Landingham, what's next? |
| Between female VA and males VA that make my ear bleed (Ikoma) I prefer the female one. The sex doesn't matter if the voice fits. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| If the voice fits, then I don't mind. Anyway, it has some sense, because some teenagers didn't mature the voice until later when they became older, so having a "girly" voice it's not that out of place. Apart, I cannot see Edward Elric voiced by some other who isn't Romi Park. |
 |
| It depends on how well it's done and what the character is supposed to sound like. It makes sense that Hideyoshi from Baka and Test is voiced by a female but I feel that more masculine teenage boys should be voiced by males. Kamina from Gurren Lagann is only two years older but has a male seiyuu because he's more masculine and deserves a deeper voice. |
  |
| I usually think it fits pretty great tbh. About your example FMA, isn't it like Romi Park who's acting? If yes, I agree it doesn't fit and also a part of the reason I dropped FMA for now. Maybe because I've seen other anime with the same voice as young women though. |
| Most of the time is good and it works pretty well except when Kenshin voiced by a woman(they ruined the battousai persona in the ova at least for me) |
 |
| what I walls find interesting is the males usually protagonist in animes that get voice by females like Naruto is a great example it works but man when u realise u like WAT! Luffy and Ichigo as well |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
Trye. Heck, when I was just a young girl, I didn't know that Romi Park is a woman, until I saw her profile. |
