Rei366 said: After reading the Anime-now article about it, I want to watch this 3hours long show! You can watch it on Youtube if you search for 声優総選挙 (I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here). Rei366 said: After reading more commentaries here, I wonder how "anime-fans" can ignore who Hayashibara is (her roles, the fact she was kind of a prototype for the "seiyûs craze" of today). Good question. Probably a combination of most MAL members being very young and her having been relatively out of the spotlight for 10+ years. Trends can change very fast. But yeah, it seems rather unbelievable. |

| I somewhat glad that HanaKana is not in this list. Don't get me wrong, I love her voice and all, but she's pretty much the same voice in almost every of her character. I mean, her character is pretty much the "waifu voice" (which I obviously love, since she's in my favorites) Only other time she sounded different was probably playing Kuroneko/Kobato with their weird personality and probably that crazy bitch from Akame ga Kill. |

Mayuka said: Yes? There's plenty of western fans who like seiyuu not just for their roles lol I know those people exist. I'm one of them XD But frankly, judging from the comments here and who tops the favorite people list on MAL, I'd say it's more of a matter of who voices currently popular characters, who looks the best in the magazines or crap like that. The people who are truly knowledgeable about seiyuu history and industry are a very small minority. The same applies to music. Most younger folks will just listen to what's on the charts and be content with that. I suppose it can't be helped but it's still a little sad. |
| Glad to see a ranking of veteran seiyuu that shows their influence in the industry. VA like Takayama Minami, Mitsuishi Kotono, Fujiwara Keiji and Hirata Hiroaki have roles in animes I watched. I would have thought Otani Ikue, Inoue Kazuhiko and Inoue Kikuko in the list too. |
