| YAY, NORIO WAKAMOTO IS 7TH, HAYASHIBARA IS 8TH, AND TANAKA (Mayumi) AT 3RD PLACE! Seiyuus have really good taste :3 |
| I only recognize 4, 5 at most. But all of them have pretty prominent roles at different shows. Nice. |
 |
| RIP Hirano Ayo Woot Togusa |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| None of my favorites are there. ): |

| Not one of those names is familiar to me. |
| Meh. It just has all the legendary seiyuus, simply that; the list is more like 'Most respected seiyuus of all'. Obvious since it is voted by seiyuus themselves. No way idol/recently rising seiyuus can be on the lists. |
| just bunch of old ppls... "meh" |
| Some of these seiyuus are there just because they voiced a legendary character, like Masako Nozawa as Goku and Takayama Minami as Conan. Meh. |
| Just saw that #2 voiced Goku :D Thats good enough for me. |

No way idol/recently rising seiyuus can be on the lists. yeah... i was shocked at first, but then realized it was voted by seiyu's for who they respect, so it makes sense. i can't figure out though... why is #1... #1? haha. i'm kinda new to anime, so i'm not sure what he's known for? |
   |
| I feel bad: I don't recognize any of the names. ^_^V |
I think I only know these two on the list. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| I could care less about some arbitrary ranking.... but, I'm so glad, Hysteric Barbie isn't in the top 25 :) |
| Gosh....I don't even know any of these people, then again, this is probably because I never really payed attention to voice actors. Anyway, congrats on the winners. |
| Yes Aya Hirano is not on here! WIN! |

| What's really interesting is that the majority of them are male. Kinda shows how the industry as a whole changed in recent years. Ask an average modern anime fan to name 25 seiyuu, and I'm sure about 20 of them will be female. |
| 1. Norio Wakamoto 2. Everyone else |
| Glad to see Megumi Hayashibara on the list because I respect her very much, she is someone I regard very highly as a seiyuu because of her great talent. I'm also glad to see a number of other talented and respected seiyuu on the list like Norio Wakamoto, Hideyuki Tanaka, Noriko Hidaka, Akio Ohtsuka, Akira Kamiya, and the many other talents that have graced the anime industry with their voices. The younger generation obviously respect these individuals that have likely inspired them to become seiyuu themselves. So show respect to the older generation of seiyuu, not just the new. |
| Hmm, I think most of it is good. It's a Legend list. Yamadera, Nozawa, Takayama (her popularity still surprises me a bit, actually), Kappei, Suguyama, etc. Could use some Furukawa Toshio (but we have his "rival" Kamiya Akira =D)! Also, Furuya Toru. And Tanaka Mayumi is great too! And has a cute character. |
 |
| top 5 = veteran seiyu |
| Kazuya Nakai is definitely my favorite on that list :D there's lots of respectable seiyuus there though |
| where is my loli voice? |

| These are legendary Seiyuu I mostly never heard of, since they were nominated by seiyuu and not fans or top brasses in the industry, there are no idol seiyuu that were nominated in this past or present so no Rie Kugumiya, Nana Mizuki, or Yukari Tamura. |
 |
| Mamiko Noto where? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Nozawa Masako!!! Goku and Dukemon! <3 She is really skilled :3 Glad to see her so high on the list! |

|
| i don't know who any of them are. its not that i don't care, its just that my interest in anime never goes that far. |
| anyway congrats to all of them |
| Fumihiko Tachiki should be on there. Glad to see Megumi Hayashibara is very high up though. |
| Norio Wakamoto.. nuff said.. |
Totally made my day <3 Btw, Norio Wakamoto 7th SRSLY!? He should be nº1! |
| Wakamoto Norio is beyond this list. |

Hongo-Takeshi said: calorie said: Not one of those names is familiar to me. boggles my mind that people whoi say There anime fans say thay dont know any of these Is it just me, or the amount of respect shown by MAL users are declining lately. People should at least recognize Megumi Hayashibara :/ not to mention the VA of Conan and lead singer of TWO-MIX Takayama. alexcampos said: I could care less about some arbitrary ranking.... We got a very respectable list here. Just because new century seiyuus are not here doesn't mean it's arbitrary. |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Wow Mayumi Tanaka at number 3. I love her, I'm happy to see that. |
