As if winning an award says something about a seiyuu's talent.

Then again, if it does, that may just as well be why she has yet to win an award.

Is it Nadeko medusa arc? No, not yet. Though I'm not sure it would change my opinion about her (and her voice actor).

I like her voice a lot but I do think she sounds the same in all the roles she played. Like even when she played Ichiko in Binbougami ga (her finest performance imo), I can still tell it was HanaKana. I guess the problem is that she's been typecasted into playing cute roles that she never has to play other roles thus the lack of need to expand her voice range (or maybe she does, there's just no opportunity for her to use it).

Has she ever voiced a very boyish character?

Well, she'll be in the industry for a long time. She's got the forever x-teen voices so she'll have plenty of time to improve in her craft.

She's talented. However, due to being typecasted in the same type of voice again and again, she shows very little range or variety despite her huge amount of roles.

As such, while I think she's good, I consider her work to be heavily overrated currently. There are better seiyuu in activity. All the hype about her is just that, hype. While she has shown me enough talent for me top recognize her as a good seiyuu, she hasn't shown enough range for me to be impressed.

I recall seeing some study on why she's so popular. Apparently, her voice is in a range that is very pleasant to the human ear.

Science aside, I adore her. I see why people are annoyed that she's in everything, though. But then again, I couldn't care less.

She is good. Memorable to say the least.
She has a few memorable roles. Like Kuroneko and Mikan, the rest not so much. Its nice when you know she is there though.

Sings well.

Same here, though I do occasionally find a role that sounds a little different. She's not instantly recognizable as Jessica Valentine in Dragonar Academy -- I only knew she was there because I saw her name in the end credits, as Jessica only has a couple of lines. But she definitely does have some standard character types that help fulfill the "Kana Hanazawa must be in every anime" law, such as Tomoka from Ro-Kyu-Bu!, Minori from Nourin, Charlotte from Infinite Stratos, Nadeko from -Monogatari, and Kosaki from Nisekoi. Basically the quiet/shy/childhood-friend types that used to go to Mamiko Noto back in the mid/late-00s.

Has she ever voiced a very boyish character?

She does play that reverse trap in Tokyo Ravens.

I like her but I feel she is overused at the moment.

You can scarcely watch a series this season where she isn't in it somewhere. I prefer Eri Kitamura wholeheartedly though but she hasn't had much notable work lately =(

Ah I meant like where she has to use a deep voice to do a male or really boyish character. I've never heard her do one before. Kind of like Tomatsu Haruka did for Ranmaru in Binbougami ga or Mizuki Nana's Touma in Minami-ke.

Didn't like her voice. I just don't know what's so amazing about her voice yet people are overrating her and definitely there are lots of better VAs than her.

Yeaaaaa, after reading Rewrite, pretty sure I think her voice is now just god awful. That VN sucked ass, and pretty sure it was 99.9% her fault. So....I guess she's not my type of voice? :P


But she hardly speaks in Rewrite. Like, her lines are only 15% on the entire story. How's that even possible? Unless her voice, even she has very few lines, is enough to destroy the whole story for you.

and i bet i can name 100 naime in the last five years that she was not cast in can you name 20 funi dubs of the same time that there is not one repting cast member in

I really like her voice, especially as Nadeko in Monogatari series. Just a perfect fit!

But her voice is just so easily recognizable and she is apparently omnipresent at the moment, which makes listening to her voice somewhat repetitive for me. I'm not yet at the point where I'd say that I dislike her voice, but I'd prefer her to be cast less or for more diverse roles in the future.

Her performance in Deadman Wonderland is among the worst I have ever heard from any seiyuu. Meanwhile, her role in Kuragihime is one of the most perfect and best suited for her voice.

Special mention for her performance in Psycho Pass where she use her normal, slightly deep voice. It is convincing and I wish she would take more roles like that.

She's still my favorite voice actress, but I'm getting a bit tired of hearing her "Onodera" voice everywhere. I think her best performance was for Ichiko Sakura from Binbougami Ga. Her voice acting for Hana from Prison School reminds me a lot of her.

One of my favourite voice actress. Portrays the cute characters' voice perfectly. Although some roles she had done did not fit her, I still enjoy her voice acting. Heck, I even watch some anime because she's voice acting for one of the main characters.

No, the MAL Facebook page posted this old thread for some reason even though it wasn't alive.

Like I clicked on the link they posted and behold, my post from over a year ago was the last post in the page.


Now that you are one year older and wiser, you can reflect upon the mistakes of your youth.

Handy.
