| I'm only tagging those who expressed their desire to participate in something new (as per BGC thread), however, the event is open to everybody to join. In my opinion, it is a wonderful opportunity to appreciate all the amazing people who infuse our favorite characters with life. The rules are mostly the same, but there are two main differences: 1. Unlike BGC, this is going to be a one-time thing. 2. I want to avoid being too repetitive, thus voting system is going to be different. To nominate someone, simply post here a link to your favorite voice actor's page on MAL. And since it's a discussion board, it is preferable (but not mandatory) to explain your selection. Note: the event is limited to Japanese voice cast. List of Participants 1. Uchida Maaya (Shizuna) 2. Naganawa Maria (Piromysl) 3. Kitou Akari (AkeZZZ) 4. Kamiya Hiroshi (Cielord) 5.

| I nominate Uchida Maaya. There are several characters voiced by her which I like (for example, Kanzaki Ranko from The iDOLM@STER), but the main reason for this choice is that she is the voice of Kiseki's Shizuna. In all fairness, given the number of roles I like and the number of years I've been a fan, I should be nominating Ohara Sayaka instead, but the way Uchida Maaya masterfully conveyed Shizuna's character is the one thing in the voice acting industry that left the strongest impression on me, thus no other choice is possible for me. |
|
I nominate Maria Naganawa. Easily the most underrated seiyuu in the industry and absolutely nobody voices moe loli characters better than she does. |
PiromyslJul 14, 1:28 PM

| Best Seiyuu Contest!! 0.o I nominate Kitou Akari  |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| My nomination https://myanimelist.net/people/118/Hiroshi_Kamiya he is really versatile with his voice, and nailed multiple differing roles. And above all he voices Araragi. |
CielordJul 14, 1:34 PM
| spiritual successor of lord rothchild. |
| I nominate Kana Hanazawa https://myanimelist.net/people/185/Kana_Hanazawa?q=kana%20&cat=person  |

Talent is something to nurture, and wisdom is something to hone  |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/869/Saori_Hayami Mostly for her roles as Yukino and Yor |
 |
| I nominate Aoi Koga https://myanimelist.net/people/41328/Aoi_Koga Nuff said |
| I'm going for a man, I really like Ootsuka, Houchuu. He's the voice of Mr. Satou, but you hear him quiet often in a lot of other shows. Often as the older guy, the grandpa, the butler, the veteran soldier, the general, etc. I recognize his voice easy. He's really good. |
| I don't know who quotes me and then deletes the comment, but know that you make my day. STEAM's GOTY 2024 the Ghost of Tsushima OMFG THE HYPE IS REAL!!! ELDEN RING SHADOW OF THE ERDTREE wOOt!! F YEAH LET'S F GOOOOOO!!! |
https://myanimelist.net/people/212/Daisuke_Ono I really think its impressive how he can voice both Sebastian and Erwin. |
kirA_-_Jul 14, 1:39 PM
| I vote for Matsushima Minori. She voiced my favorite Candy. https://myanimelist.net/people/1441/Minori_Matsushima |
 |
| Since someone took Kana Hanazawa, I’m opting for Aoi Yuuki. https://myanimelist.net/people/6686/Aoi_Yuuki |
 "You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of." - Vladilena Milizé |
| I'd totally reccomend adding Takehito Koyasu. He is my favorite Japanese voice actor and has a ton of great roles under his belt. DIO is probably his most iconic but he's also done characters such as Aoba in Evangelion, Faust in Shaman King, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Takuma Saiou (Sartorius Kumar) in Yu-Gi-Oh GX, Aokiji in One Piece, Deadpool in all the Marvel anime, Zeke in Attack on Titan, and Peacemaker in Suicide Squad Isekai to name a few anime roles. He's also done a lot in video games such as Tatsuya Suou in Persona, Shingo in KoF, as well as Lon'qu, Navarre, Validar, Lewyn, Pent, Niles, Saber, Seteth, and Kagetsu in the Fire Emblem series. Chances are if you watch shows or play games in Japanese you are gonna hear his voice somewhere. Also his voice kinda hot ngl |
This post is brought to you by your local transfem gamer goblin. Will not tolerate bigotry and will fight against "anti-woke" sentiment to make the anime community a safer place.  |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/41/Takako_Honda Honestly I just scrolled down on my list, and picked someone from the first anime I watched subbed.   |
 |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/9/Kotono_Mitsuishi Aka Usagi/Sailor Moon and Misato katsuragi from Evangelion. |
 |
I nominate Sora Amamiya because she is the seiyuu of Touka Kirishima, my favorite female character. |
Mr_LibraJul 14, 2:05 PM
  I'm too lazy to give a weekly recommendation, so just listen to this song: |
| Two anime girls are among my favorites and most loved. Yet, their design was not at all my type and I never thought I would ever like them just by seeing them... but then I watched their animes. I instantly loved them. I realized that they were both voiced by the same seiyuu: Konomi Kohara (I nominate her, btw).   |

| @Piromysl Yume approves this message. |
|
| @Shizuna This time, I'll pass. I'm weak on the theme of voice actors. But please tag me next time during the next contest. |
 |
Not sure if I can still enter, but I nominate Koshimizu Ami, best known for voicing Holo and Ryuko Matoi! |
Reply to AkeZZZ
| @AkeZZZ I think this is worth putting up here: Although to be honest, I'm not as knowledgeable about LL (other than µ's) as I'm about idolmaster. |
|
| I'll nominate https://myanimelist.net/people/11297/Inori_Minase. First reason is this:  Second reason is this (her singing voice): She's also voiced other great characters like Altina from Trails of Cold Steel or Naruse from Kokoro ga Sakebitagatterunda so it's not like Rem is her only good character. |
 |
I choose the beautiful and wonderful Ai Fairouz. ( ꈍᴗꈍ) |
 |
I couldn’t decide between a few favourites, but in the end I choose Minami Takayama.    |
LeonhartAugustJul 14, 3:19 PM
  |
| I nominate Kaneto Shiozawa, one of the most beautiful male voices in the anime industry. |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/65/Mamoru_Miyano This man knows how to voice good looking characters, His Dazai is so on point My very top pick would have been Kamiya Hiroshi but got beat to it My other picks were Shimono Hiro, Tsuda Kenjiro (how has no one else nominated him?!) and Yamaguchi Kappei |
UberBatJul 14, 3:26 PM
 |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/146/Akio_Ootsuka I nominate Akio Otsuka because he looks hot in real life and sounds hot in anime. |

| @5hadow17 I like her the most as Hiiragi Shinoa and Emma Millstein, but there are dozens of her characters I like. Among the recent ones it's Nanakura Rin from Giji Harem. And her singing voice is wonderful too: |
|
| I wonder how different the voting system is going to be. |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp!  |
| I am confused between Aizen, Shunsui and Gintoki's VA. Man all three are good but I guess I'll pick Aizen's VA, Show Hayami. https://myanimelist.net/people/137/Show_Hayami |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| I nominate Hirano Aya, since people seems to sleep withon her |
Help! I need somebody. Help! Not just anybody. Help! You know I need someone. Helpppppp! |
Well. Since my favorite VA was already nominated, I will go with my second favorite: Sakamoto, Maaya |
| Misaki Kuno absolutely killed it as Faputa, so I pick her https://myanimelist.net/people/11641/Misaki_Kuno           Shizuna said: I'm only tagging those who expressed their desire to participate in something new (as per BGC thread) I suppose I misinterpreted the question then, I thought you were just looking for ideas, I wouldn't mind being pinged in anything else you decide to do. |
Jackson1333Jul 14, 5:26 PM
| fun, thanks for tagging me! I nominate Yui Ishikawa she’s my favourite seiyuu and not talked about enough even though she voices two of the most popular female characters in anime (Mikasa and Violet Evergarden) https://myanimelist.net/people/5142/Yui_Ishikawa there’s something so pleasant about her vocal tone and her voice is so recognisable and not grating in the slightest (my theatre director called it having a caramel tone) plus the inflection in her emotional delivery really sells the intensity or subtlety of a moment |
| Dude why am I always so late damm! Well anyways, since my favs are already chosen, I'll pick whoever came to my mind first(of course I like her voice too) https://myanimelist.net/people/99/Miyuki_Sawashiro  I haven't heard a va better than her when it comes to stern, cold or regal voice. Favorite role.. Probably Kanbaru |

| @Suryaaps Indeed. This scene is one of the best highlights of the Japanese voice acting industry. Anyone can listen to it and be amazed even without understanding the context. |

| Since Aoi Yuuki is already mentioned, I'm going to nominate my favorite male seiyuu: https://myanimelist.net/people/34209/Yuuichirou_Umehara  He has such a gentle, naturally deep voice. Hopefully I will hear a lot more of it in the future. |
| https://myanimelist.net/people/10765/Ai_Kayano She has simply voiced so many of my favorite characters. @Shizuna |

@Shizuna
@Shizuna
| @Serafos 👍 Same, she voiced lots of characters I like, although the most memorable one is most likely Atago from Azur Lane. |
|
| Oh, so there will be 35 participants in total, yes? |
