After 80 episodes I still dont like Gintoki's voice actor. Am I the only one to feel this way? The voice and face and character just dont match at all for me, it sounds like an older guy trying to sound cool when the character's real voice should be more naturally laid back with a younger sounding voice.

I'm thinking Spike Spiegel type or something.

I think it's fine. Mind you, I liked the other work by that Seiyuu, so I suppose I'm somewhat biased.
They have actually been joking about that in the show several times, that he sounds as mature as, if not more mature than Kondo, the Shinsengumi chief, even though Kondo is actually older. Or something like that.

What?

I was thinking the other way around, Tomokazu Sugita is godly.

Little girls cry before him when hearing his too awesome voice.

Have you heard the almighty himself speaking in BlazBlue as Ragna the Bloodedge? I came.


Anyway, his voice sounds not serious at all, which is gintoki, who is always joking around.

ZoiQ & Sugoi-otaku wins.

Gintoki is my favorite work by Tomokazu, it's like he's destined for Gintoki.

Well, Gintoki isn't actually young, I think the VA's age helps.

as for me, it's really hard to imagine Gintoki with someone's other voice that Sugita's...
his voice is enough for express all Gintoki's foolishness and reflect his "serious mode" than it's necessary.

I do like that, but the rest sounds like a man in a stuffy suit talking, you know the kind who annonuces whats going to be on next on BBC 1. I guess its just me then.

Couldn't see it any other way, unique voice for a unique character. This reminds of that OVA scene, where Gintoki is addressing this very matter.

Considering he pulled off Kyon for Haruhi, I'm pretty sure he fits the age description pretty well. Plus I don't think anyone pulls off sarcastic intonation and personal comments off the side better than Sugita. I had a chuckle because the way kyon did his "personal thoughts out loud" was so similar to Gin's

That's what he is. But he ends up doing it anyways. I love the voice for him and couldn't see it done much better.

Also there isn't a poll option for 'love it'.

Huh? Really? o.o I admit, at first I thought it didn't match his face. But after one episode I was already in love with Sugita's voice. He sounds like sex.

I'm not exactly little and I'm -this- close to crying.

I'm not gonna vote, cause there's no 'f***ing epic' option.

I love all about him! *shot*
I think it's no problem with his seiyuu...
This make him way cooler....and isn't Gin and Toushi have the same age? Toushi's voice is also deep...
So, I think I love Gintoki voice especially when he jokes~

Voted for "I like it fine" but it is MORE than fine. The deeper I get into the series, the harder I fall in love with his voice. Now overall I'm just plainly head over heels with Sugita Tomokazu's voice, thanks to Gintoki.

- NOT your usual shounen anime
- Pure comedy? DEAD WRONG
- Treat Gintama as SoL/weekly sitcom especially earlier seasons
- Ep 1 & 2 are for manga readers
- BIG patience for its 'slow' start

Bruh what are you talking about? His va is one of the primary reasons I switched from manga to anime. If not for him I think this show wouldn't be as famous as it is now. There's an episode where he sings doraemon op and it's just awesome.
