Soul Eater
| You all should know what this topic's about now. :D Some people dislike Maka's voice, and I can see why. To me though her voice is refreshingly different, I really enjoy listening to whatever she's saying or screaming. At first it might look like she's not 'going all out' but I don't think that's the case. Soul Eater has many different characters so you won't see Maka in every episode (unless they complain about the lack of screentime again :D), but to me the reason why Soul Eater is so damn great is also because Maka's voice is like it is. What are your thoughts? |

| I think that most of the voices are great, and give fit the different style of animation that the show makes use of. I completely agree that Maka's voice is a breath of fresh air, and as somebody who got into anime for that very reason it's magnificent. I don't completely understand how anyone wouldn't think Maka is into her role, even if it was just for an instant, I thought all the voice actors really were "Going all out" from the first line of dialogue. |
| I really like the voice of that new seiyuu. At first, it sounded a bit out of place (i.e. too cute/quiet) for an actiony shinigami kind of anime.. but 1.) it's a nice voice regardless and 2.) we haven't seen too much of her character yet.. but I guess it fits her personality after all. I hope we'll see hear more of her in future seasons. Also in other genres. |
     |
| First impression = annoying. But I got used to it after 5 minutes. And now I can't imagine her sounding like anything else, and I don't want her to sound like anything else. |
   |
| The only problem I have with her voice is that the sincerity doesn't seem to match the visuals...Such as she looks like she'd be shouting when the lines are almost spoken normally. Other than that, yes, good voice. Better than the usual annoying young girls' voices that have been used in the past (I still can't stand Tsukimura Mayu's voice). |
 Such is life... |
| i really like maka's voice. it fits her good and her seiyuu is different in a very refreshing way. hopefully she will have some more screentime in the future. :D |
| Maka's voice is excellent. It fits her perfectly. If anything, I'd complain about Soul's voice for being much darker than I imagined it would be. And Kidd's voice feels pretty wrong, too. But they're fine. |
| I'm glad there are so many people who love her voice just as much as I do. I'm not sure about Kid yet, the preview wasn't enough to judge for me. We shall see. |

| I like her voice too, it fits her character well :) |
[url][/url] |
| Honestly, I'm not sure. I certainly don't dislike her voice, but it just seems weird somehow. Same with most of the characters, really - they just seem a little odd. |
 |
| I like it a lot. It's not the typical anime girl voice. I am not Japanese, so I can't judge her acting though. |
| Well if they were going for "little brat," they nailed it. |

| For me the voice is great. It fits the character perfectly...... |
 |
| Really love her voice. From the first time I heard her, I found that it was something completly different and different is good. I also find that the voice really matches the image I get of her. |

| It's weird for me at first - not that I dislike it - and then I found out she's a new seiyuu. It will grow on me eventually so I don't have a problem with it. |
 |
| It's fine, but whenever she screams/yells its like nails on a chalkboard to me. |
| She's pretty good for a newbie. I took a liking to her voice right away, even if she needs some tonal work. |
  |
| I recognize her as a rookie and she's doing pretty well. So people can't expect too much. I just get the feeling that she could do a little more... |
| I like it. It's not really that bad once you get to hear it 20x times. |
     |
| It's alright. I don't dislike it, however I do think it is kinda weird. |

At first, I liked the fact that it was different, but I could tell that it was different. Now, it's natural. I agree with what a lot of other people said -- Maka couldn't have a high, young girl's voice. She's too serious for that. Soul's voice threw me off at first, too, but I also love it now. The only one that still bothers me.... is Black Star's :S |
| I like it, theres just something about it. Maybe because its so different. |
 |
| I loved it from the moment I heard it first, and was surprised that lots of people didn't like her voice. |
| at first the voice sounded a little weird, but it fit maka's personality. i got used to it at the first episode, and i like it. if i didnt look up who was seiyuu-ing maka, i wouldnt have found out that she was seeiyu-ing for the first time, she did a really good job, i really liked it. |
     |
| I don't know how to explain specifically what I don't like about the voice, all I can say is that listening to it seems like she's a bit off. |
 |
| I think it's great. It really does fit her alot. But I don't know about Soul and Kidd. The voice is too low, I think. |
 |
She has one of these voices you can either love our you can either hate. However this is what I dislike about her character: I'm I the only one noticing their resemblance? |

| I think her voice is very fitting. Its not too girly like cat witch blair's. Its not too child-like like the witch in epi 2. Its not too cute like patty's or too aggresive like liz. In other words, its just right. |
 |
| I like it cause it's not a normal one for the part. Its not usual but its not bad either, it fits perfectly. |
 |
| She's quite good, though the voice work could do with a bit more emotion, but other than that, i'm happy with her voice. |
 |
| Meh, after hearing her scream in episode 5, I support her even more. :D |

| i love maka´s voice, but it does not fit with her character |
| I really don't like her voice. It's annoying. |
| I thought she was excellent in episode 8. |
 |
| I actually love Maka's voice I don't hear a voice like that often, so it's refreshing to hear a different type of voice also it's just like a kid's and she's a kid(Maka) too. |
| HEY! |
| I like her voice. When I heard her voice in the first episode I liked it instantly; like said, its refreshing and of course it fits her since this anime is so unique (in a very good way :D) cyruz said: Meh, after hearing her scream in episode 5, I support her even more. :D looking forward to that *is in episode 4* Sobzob said: If anything, I'd complain about Soul's voice for being much darker than I imagined it would be. yes, I was very surprised when I heard him talk, but Im already used to it ;P |
 |
| Her voice is alright. |
Click Meh >_> Loading...  |
| I agree with you. Her voice is really fitting--young-sounding but mature. Everyone in Soul Eater pretty much has a unique voice. [: I guess the people being more critical of it have read the manga or something. xD; |

| If her voice wasn't good, it would stand out to me. Which it doesn't. So that means it fits her well and isn't annoying to me. She has a sort of middle voice, because she's a sort of middle character. It's soft when it's soft and hard when it's hard, like her personality. I really couldn't imagine her voice any other way. Especially after hearing it this way after so long. |
 Old avatar and sig retired for now. |
| The voice fits the character perfectly in my opinion. It's something different, and it makes her unique. It also meshes well with the whole Soul Eater theme of being a not your regular shounen. |
 |
| I like her unique voice but I usually have to turn up the speakers to hear her <.< maybe my eardrums have trouble picking up her pitch? |

 |
| I love it, because it's not another one of those hyper high pitched voices. I think if fits Maka quite nicely. |
| maka I heta this girl but here It's alright when she normal It"s good but when she Fight =_="" what I say ?? It"s find any way~ |
| I really enjoy her voice acting because, as others have already said, it's refreshing and different. At first I noticed the somewhat emotionless tone that she uses, but after getting used to it I realized that it just *suited* Maka. Not to say she's emotionless, but I find that she's a very mature girl for her age. She's more soft-spoken and therefore her pitch isn't all over the place. It's a little hard to describe, but overall I really like her voice acting. There's definitely room for improvement with tones, but I can't picture Maka sounding any other way, so I'm quite pleased with it. |
| I really liked it, very unique, can't imagine it being anyone else at this point. |
