Damn, my topic's title is quite long, but oh well. From the past three weeks or so I'm watching anime (even crappy one) only because of my fav voice actors such as Ono daisuke (dayum dat mayn iz hawt). So...is there anybody else like me? If yes, then who's your favorite VA and which anime are you watching? And do you like it?

Of course. I've dragged myself through many lesser Anime just because the likes of Monica Rial, Laura Bailey and Rie Kugimiya were in them.

It doesn't work well, I've dropped anime with Yui Ogura in the voice cast, there are anime that cannot be saved by the voice cast.

Well I did just finish Rail Wars. I didn't know Jun Fukuyama was the MC though...

I don't look up the VAs of an anime until I've finished it, though I do like guessing who does the voices as I watch. I like to be surprised when I learn which VAs were present in the anime. I choose anime to watch at random. However, for the anime that I have been watching recently, Mamiko Noto always seems to be voicing in it...

I've considered watching some hetero hentai OVAs just because of my favorite voice actors

Yes

Hetero hentai OVAs with incest and sexual assault

That's how serious I am about this

You're watching an anime because one of it's characters is voiced by a guy you find to be hot? Honestly speaking, that's dumb as fuck. Just Google image him instead and save yourself the trouble.

A voice actor you love won't necessarily increase your enjoyment of the show so no I don't do that.

No, I normally search for more anime by looking up similar genres and themes rather than VAs. Even though most of the ones I find and end up watching have the same VAs.

I guess if I found one by accident that had my fav VA (don't have one as of right now), i'd probably give it more of a chance if it rubbed me the wrong way. Probably wouldn't sit through the whole thing if it was awful just for the VA though.

Hey, I kind do the same. But I won't give it a try if there's no favourite VA of mine, even if the story is seems pretty good. I know, that's retarded.

Rie Kugimiya for sure. Toradora was like the 8th or so title I saw and I immediately followed up with ZnT, Shana, Hayate and Hidan no Aria on the strength of her involvement alone. That said I won't watch Pokemon or other kid shows.

There are a few other va's that might catch my eye if I'm checking out titles which would give a small plus on whether to add the title or not: Yui Horie, Misato Fukuen, Shizuka Itou, Chiwa Saito, Junji Majima, Daisuke Ono, Mamoru Miyano.

So there's basically english VAs I really like so I've watched a couple anime just for them. But, usually they have to be a MAIN character for me to watch it. That's why I watched Monster (haha, in the beginning it was because of Liam o Brian).

No Japanese voice actors rarely get my attention. Espicially female Japanese girls. They sound super.similar or whiney. Men in Japanese are better but none have made an impact. In English There's maybe one or two I like enough to persuade me to watch something, but if the shows bad then I'm probably not gonna bother.

Most of the voice actors, I like, I can find in anime that appeal to me. So I didn't find myself in a situation where I would go out of my way, to watch something just because of that. But I think I would, if I somehow, ended up in that situation, I greatly care about voice acting.
