I know there are already topics for best/worst seiyus, but this is more about recognition, than anything else.

I'm just curious, how do you guys can consider those two seiyu as one of best, if theirs voice aren't any different than your usual, random voice of japanese girl.

I know tsundere this, tsundere that, but they're really lacks identity when they speak.

Take Romi Paku for instance, or Norio Wakamoto, or Mayumi Tanaka...
You can alway say who is seiyu when character to whom they borrowed theirs voice start talking.

The two of them are in my favorite seiyu list.

I really like Yui Horie's voice. It turns me on, although I can't say the same for Rie Kugimiya since her voice sometimes irritates me, but doing voices of characters in many Anime that I liked makes up for it.

I'm not that much of a fan of Yui Horie, but I love Rie Kugimiya's voice - and not just when she plays tsunderes.

I like Yui Horie. I admit I had to look up Rie but I would say I like her too.

You have to stop to make the assumption that originality or variation = "good" or "best". A lot of people like something simply because they were exposed to them first. It's not surprising due to their popularity. And once they liked it, they could either continue liking it, or change their opinion. It can go both ways. But because they're so popular, the likelihood they will be liked and disliked is a lot higher than other seiyuus.

Both are good seiyuu's I like them both!! Rie's singing voice is a turn on (to me that is) especially when she sings in the ending theme song to queens blade season 2.

Well it call comes down to a matter of opinions.....

I agree sometimes her voice does irritates me too. :(

Rie's voice is easily recognized well I think so I could be wrong....I heard before that her voice isn't really recognizable.

People tends think that good character = good seiyu.

Just because they like Shana, they think that Kugimiya is great seiyu.

I watched over 700 titles, and I still can't say I was ever dissatisfied with someone's voice acting (meaning, I don't find Horie and Kugimiya being bad seiyus, just not recognizable or distinctful among other seiyus).
And I never find anyone's voice irritable or annoying.

I always need to check out their roles to know whom they borrow their voice to.

Ever heard of Hayami Sho (Aizen Sousuke, Maximilian Jenius)?
He has recognizable voice.

i love Yui, she's got a nice voice. Plus, i loved her in fruits basket and da capo ^_^

I think Rie's alright, i mostly prefer her non-tsundere roles like mnemosyne, rosario+vampire, and full metal alchemist. that's just me

Hocchan makes quite a good singer while Kugi seems to be the tsundere queen of some sort. Neither are in my favorites' list. Nonetheless, I think they are great seiyuu!!!^^

I can't help but love Gintama's Kagura done by RieKugi, but I like Yui's voice more.

I like Mamiko Noto's voice the most.

Both are good seiyu. But It was more easy for me to recognize Rie's voice. Maybe because i'm hearing her voice a lot in animes that i saw.

Kugi's voice actually has been a little harder to recognize this year. Shannon really just blew me away. Hocchan's in the same boat after seeing Kampfer and Natsu no Arashi.

I love Yukarin the most though. I can recognize her in a heartbeat.

On a side note, the only one of those I can recognize is Rie, but that's because all Shana clones sound the exact same.

Their voices are easier to recognize and sound smoothly to my ears.

Some voices no matter how many times I hear it I can't go saying "oo that's that seiyuu's voice"
