I think episode 14 showed their is no comparison between Maaya and Megumi, Maaya is leagues better... and yes she's been around for a long time but even comparing her work in Escaflowne to Megumi's Ranka here it's the same.

Rankas, by far. Megumi's singing is amazing.

@Westlo of course, Maaya's is better. But Megumi sort of has the same type of voice and the style of her songs are more similar to Maaya's songs. I would have preferred that had they picked Maaya to be Ranka's VA

I agree with hirahira, (lol reviving old topics ftw, just marathoned 1-20)

but out of Ranka and Sheryl, I voted Sheryl probably cause she sang more songs that I like than Ranka did, not that I think she's bad or anything.
Might also be the thing that I like Sheryl as character better than Ranka xD

But wow, a lot of "young" people are debuting lately o.o;

I personally prefer Sheyl's songs over Rankas's. Diamond Crevasse and Infinity easily put Sheryl over the top. though I did like Ranka's version of Watashi no Kare wa Pilot and Ai Oboite Imasuka.

just for the record since the comparison between Megumi and Maaya was brought up. Maaya >>>>> Megumi. Megumi's voice is soothing to listen to while Maaya's voice is comparable to the sensation of earsex.

I love Diamond Crevasse the most of all, been .. well listening to that a lot now XD

I guess Sheryl is better as a character (but I like them both!) but I still think Ranka's voice is better. I especially like it in What Bout My Star and Aimo.

And I never said Megumi's voice was better than Maaya's :P
I would never say something like that. I <333 Maaya

I like both girls but Ranka's singing voice is more soothing. Sheryl's singing voice is kind of annoying. especially in Northern Cross. Ranka has a more annoying talking voice though

I love both of their voices, but overall I'd have to choose Sheryl. She seems to give more variety in her songs, and her voice is extremely moving and powerful, especially in Diamond Crevasse and Northern Cross. Although, both girls are extremely talented.

I love Ranka, but without taking that in consideration, I still like her songs more (even when I love sheryl's songs too), because I feel them more like Kanno's style...

I will finish frontier fast and drop my final opinion later. But rite now, I think both girls characters are equally developed. Ranka is cuter while Sheryl has more charms. Really hard to choose. lol

Absolutely Sheryl. Especially lately I'm in love with her voice, well actually Maaya's voice. I don't think I like Ranka's character but it doesn't matter. I just like Aimo, but when it's come to Sheryl, I like all of her songs. Diamond Crevasse, Northern Cross, Lion and Infinity are my favorites. And yep, she's more style.

IMO, Alto can handle Sheryl's personality.

well as a character i like Sheryl a lot more than ranka.

And now about voice. In the last episode i saw pretty highlighted that may'n is much better singer than megumi. even not looking that, may'n sang pretty much songs and the whole anime osts main favourites are sang by her. i mean Diamond Crevase and Infinity.

In a word, May'n is a lot better singer than megumi.


By the way, I have to admit that, every anime where i see in the staff Kanno Yoko, has a splendid sound comparision and arangement. Every anime ost done by her are amazing.

After watching the movie I'm really torn now. Both are looking better than in the series. I might still leaning towards Sheryl (same reason as before) but Ranka is making it hard to ignore.

This is an unbiased view:

Sheryl's voice is really unique and powerful but she breathes too much when she sings. And sometimes it sounds like she's in pain when she sings. Also her voice isn't suited to sing preppy upbeat songs.

Ranka's voice is really smooth and calming not to mention cute. Her english is also better but her voice isn't as lout as Sheryl's.
Never ignore a person who loves you, cares for you, and misses you. Because one day, you might wake up from your sleep and realize that you lost the moon while counting the stars.

I kinda agree with Sapphirebreeze.

I like May'n's voice in songs such as Diamond Crevasse, but in some of her more upbeat songs, to me it sounds a little like she has something in stuck in her throat or a blocked nose.

In my opinion, Megumi Nakajima's voice is sweeter and gentler and sounds a little more natural and less forced, which I personally prefer, but I think May'n has a stronger voice

As characters, I'm not sure who I prefer. To be honest, I'm not really much a fan of either of them =.=
