| I absolutely love her voice, and a lot of the songs she has done. She's one of my favorite VAs. But as far as I've seen, opinions on her are usually quite mixed (at least from what I've seen). So I just want to ask, how do you feel about Kana Hanazawa's voice acting or her in general? |
| A friend is borderline obsessed with her. I think she's good, but I think some are better. |
 |
| I don't like her at all. I was okay with her, when I didn't use to recognize her voice. But the minute I did, I can only see her voice fitting submissive cutesy innocent pure type characters. She legitimately ruined a character for me (One of the female main character in ZnT). I just don't like how she is in a lot of anime each fucking season. It just tiring, annoying, uninteresting, boring, and cringe worthy at times to hear her voice that much. Her voice is currently annoying me in Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou. That said, I quite liked her role as Natalia in Sekai Seifuku: Bouryaku no Zvezda. I seriously liked the added accent. She didn't ruin her character there because she used something other than her cutesy voice. Other good roles of her imo, were Nadeko because her voice fitted very well. Oh, and because of this. But maybe I like that role, because that was the time where I didn't recognize her voice. Kuroneko from Oreimouto was decent, nothing amazing but good, with her shy, cute yet witty personality. All in all, I think she has talent and range. But because her cute voice is the most popular and probably has demand from her fans in Japan, she is forced (probably) to use it the most or rather she usually get casted to the same type of characters over and over again. Which is kinda sad and reminds me of Rei and her tsundere roles. tl:dr: If we don't hear her voice in every goddamn anime, that would be great. |

| I think she has a nice voice, but she's so popular and omnipresent in the anime industry nowadays that it's getting out of hand... |
| I like her voice and she's a great voice actor. She's everywhere... which can be good or bad depending on the situation. That does decrease her range by a lot. |

| Her voice brainwashes you. |
| I don't like her and I don't find her voice to be cute. Just... annoying. Even my voice is cuter #okay Might contain Bakemonogatari spoiler. |
| I can't get enough of her voice, so needless to say I love the fact she's in everything. tsudecimo said: Oh, and because of this. I'd so be a masochist if she would talk down to me like that. Zergneedsfood said: She has no range or variety. Oh but she does, she just gets typecast because she has a god tier cute voice. Just have to go watch Binbougami ga to see that she can be different. |

|
| That's kinda irrelevant. You said she has no range or variety, I gave you examples that proves otherwise. |
|
| i am starting to get tired of her, shes everywhere an she always voice the same moe type character shes among my fav voice actors but I dunno, just wish she voiced something other than shy little girls |
 |
Zergneedsfood said: If we want to go there....compare the range you talked about with: Kotori Senjougahara Shouko Homura Also includes Aika from Aria, and that one chick from Break Blade. The difference in variety/range is light and day. Yes you can say from the first clip that she can speak louder than she usually does in most of her anime, but it's still very clearly her voice. It's called typecasting, she does the cute voice very, very well, and so she always get's cast as characters that suit that voice. |
|
| @Zergneedsfood I'm not saying she has amazing range or variety, I'm pointing out that it simply exists. Compared to Chiwa, she is obviously not as good. I guess you didn't mean ''no range/variety'' literally. |
|
| I love her voice but I think the shy one is being overused. You won't see me bitching about it though. |
| I know her name and that she is in a LOT of VA roles but luckily I don't recognize her voice because I don't recognize any female VAs by voice. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Her voice sounds the same in each role she plays. |
 |

| I don't think that she's in enough shows. She should probably try to find more roles. On a more serious note, I actually do like her. She has more range than people think. It's just that she gets cast in similar roles a lot times. I loved her in Binbougami ga! as Ichiko and obviously crazy Nadeko. |

That's rare. I find her voice easily recognizable. Well, for one I never put in any effort remembering voice actors by name or voice. Over the years I naturally started to recognize some of the male VAs (starting with Sugita/Gintoki and he's still the only one I will always recognize immediately) but it never happened for the females. Maybe because they all sound more alike than the male VAs I remember, or I'm just under that impression because HanaKana voices so many roles each season. Or I just don't care as much subconsciously. I don't know, it just never got to that level of recognition with the females. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| I like her voice, but her overpresence in the recent seasons is wearing me down. She's becoming too popular now. |

| Haven't really catched her voice for a long time |
| I never get tired of hearing her. I'd say Hanato Kobato from Kobato is my favorite role by her, it's the ultimate embodiment of the innocent, pure bliss that her waifu voices represents. I haven't heard her in a while though. Edit: Ah nope, just realized she was in the show I just watched less than an hour ago. Although it wasn't like her supa-kawaii moe moe kyun type cast roles so I forgot it was her. |

| She certainly has variety, but unfortunately her range is rather limited and there's not much anybody can do about that. The typecasting doesn't help. But she's not a bad actress, so it's not really a bad thing for her to be in everything I watch. |
| I always had that feeling that the same 7 or so voices were in every anime... well whatever, i like her. |
| I hate her. Well, not personally, but just the sheer amount of idiotic and mindnumbing moe characters she's voiced. After a while it gets really fucking tiresome to hear the same voice for two different characters with he same archetype. |
 |
| I quite enjoy her voice. |
| Don't really care for her, but I liked her in episode 5 of Space Dandy and the Garden of Feet. |
  |
| She has terrible voice range and almost 90% of her characters sound EXACTLY the same. I mean, it's not such a terrible thing when her voice is pretty nice to hear but she's definitely not a very talented voice actress. Precisely why I love Saito Chiwa, whose incredibly talented and doesn't get typecasted. |
| Bitch has Sexy voice, especially in To Love Ru and Monogatari Series |
 |
| She is very distinctive but her voice is just so sexy that it's hard to not love her |
  |
| I really like her voice, she is the best female seiiyu in my opinion. I like her role in nisekoi when she says " R-Ru-Ruri chan" she sounds like an angel |
| Don't like her voice. All the fault lies within the character archetype she mostly gets cast as. I like her in roles that aren't timid girls. |

| Unavoidable. She's in every single anime such as Lisa. |

| Good when she's typecast. Bad when she tries to act outside of her limited range. Why did she make Mayuri sound fucking retarded? |

| I like her voice but she seems to have been in EVERYTHING lately gets a little annoying hearing her voice in every show... |
| SWFC We're all Wednesday arent we? |
| I figured the opinions would be mixed. And what the hell is with that post up there^^ |
| She voiced the cute sensei in Kotonoha na Niwa, positive opinion for me. |
 |
| I like her voice but I'm not fan. But I've always been thinking about when anybody says something about if she's a slut, I have to say: what's their problem? That matters if she's good in her work? I'm never going to understand that. |
| Really liked her when I first heard her, but she sounds the same in all her gazillion roles and I've seen so many shows with her to the point where I'm sick of hearing her. |
| Mod Note: Thread cleaned of several spam and troll posts. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| She's my favorite female voice actor. Love Hanakana. |
 |
| The best. She has the cutest voice ever! I don't care what others think! Dat Mikan/Kuroneko greatness! |
 |
| She's done some of my favorite female characters (kobato, kanade, nadeko) so of course I like her voice. |
 |
| she is very popular but she never had won a voice actress award so far from what i know, i like her voice too |
| She's alright, she seems to have role in just about every other anime. Especially liked her as Shiori in TWGOK. That one particular episode in s3 where she had that monologue was a great performance. |
