I've been wondering about this for a while..

Do you guys 'self-proclaimed Kugimi fans' love her only because of her voice as loud loli-tsundere (Louise, Shana, Nagi, etc)?

..or as a proficient seiyuu who is also versatile in doing young boys (Al, Miharu) or monotone dandere (Hotaru, Shirayuki) as well?

Please answer honestly, thx~

I became a fan because of her loli voice. It's what things are most focused on, so I'm not going to feel bad about it. She's doing a good job as Miharu too - but I didn't really like her as Shirayuki, maybe because the whole anime sucked.

She's still in my top 5, so I think it's okay for me to be in this club. :D

I'm not saying that fans that only love her loli voice is bad.. ^^; I'm just curious how much the percentage of them compared to all-round fans.
Should've made a poll, eh?

I've grown to like her roles as Shana and Louise, before I had a clear understanding of "loli". :P

Before I even watch Hayate, I watched her play as Ikuto in Digimon Savers. Honestly I didn't recognize her voice until Ikuto's character song released. She's just plain awesome. Rie makes average anime worth watching and hyping.

From there, I went to ANN look for more anime where she's a cast. I saw MAL had a club for Aya before, so I took the liberty to make one for Kugimiya Rie as well. Basically I admire all her roles males or females, but you may think I'm bigger on her tsundere lead roles due to my avatar/display pic representative images.

Perhaps I don't see Rie a lot in person, except those seiyuu interviews and live events found at YouTube. Maybe she's not much of an idol like other younger seiyuus. Speaking of which, I wonder why her website http://www.kugimiya.net was no longer available... but overall, I think she's a great seiyuu who's prominent with her awesome high-pitched voice. Not a lot of people seen her in other anime as male characters.

I'm not sure which I fall under. Just happen to be another victim of Kugyu-byou (くぎゅ病). It's been spreading like wildfire recently.

first time i heard her voice was as Al in Fullmetal Alchemist, and then later on i learned that she was voicing other animes like ZnT and SnS.

though i must admit.. i love her voice in ZnT and SnS much more than any other of the animes :P

While I have to admit as well that her loli voice is my favorite you have to give her props for being such a versatile seiyuu. That said, last year she had begun to show signs of weariness, as all three "loli's" displayed a similar kind of voice and attitude, when you compare it to her first version of "Louise" and "Shana".

I like Rie Kugimiya as a voice actor, not just for the "loli" works she has done. Seeing her roles in Loveless, Rosario + Vampire, Nabari no Ou, FMA, and Gakuen Alice make me wish she wasn't typecasted so often. I think it takes away from the fact that she is an incredibly talented voice actress, even if those roles were also very well done.

Shana is the one who comes to mind first when I think of Kugi-chan, but I don't just like her for the loli voice. I watched episode five of Hidamari Sketch x365 last night and I was reminded of how good of a job she does with Chika.

And I'm slowly working my way through Rosario + Vampire (it's not exactly very high on my list of things to watch). Just got to the episode where Shirayuki is introduced and I didn't even realize it was Rie. :D

So, yeah... she's got some versatility that goes beyond loli and I admire her for that.

I adore her loli voice, but her sheer talent in general just blows me away. A lot of people I know say Kugyu's so typecasted, but they don't realize how many roles she's actually had~ Her Mizore voice is so awesome <333

I love Kugyuu as a seiyuu in general. She's just as amazing in her non-loli roles, but her loli voice will always definitely be special to me.

I think she is a great voice actor, however, I did take notice of her due to her role as Shana, Louise, Taiga, and Nagi. So I guess I would have to say it's due to her loli voice :P

I like her tsukomi voice, especially Kagura, another one will be Alfonso
Her acting in Potemayo was great too, multiple roles.
Quite a wiide range (shota - dull girl - loli)
The tsundere one is actually annoying but alright if occasionally listen to some

Many people says Kugimiya-san is being stuck in "shitty", "boring", "annoying" tsundere roles. But I think they should realize that she pretty much defines the essence of tsundere loli, and, to quote a James Bond song, "nobody does it better" than her. I appreciate her participation in any show, and any role she plays. And, just look at how many roles she has done. Despite being heavily typecast, she can do very well in many other roles. Her voice just makes me melt everytime I hear it.
