| Music, more specifically Voice Acting, is a vital part of an anime when it comes to its technical aspects. Due to this, Japanese Voice Actors, or Seiyuus, play a very important role in an anime's output. Personally speaking, which of those 'seiyuus' would you consider overrated and underrated? Why? Discuss anything about these voice actors. |

| I think no one's interested in the topic mainly because the majority of people here don't really pay attention to the voice actors in anime. |
| I honestly dont know enough about the topic sorry, i would love to discuss it but cant really add much. |

Noinochi said: I think no one's interested in the topic mainly because the majority of people here don't really pay attention to the voice actors in anime. Yeah, pretty much this. And, what I mean by this is that a good performance is great and all, but I'm definitely not going to go out of my way to watch a show just because a certain Seiyuu/VA is working on it. Well, maybe for Norio Wakamoto. And, I wouldn't even know where to start to critique a vocal performance. I usually just go by whether it "feels real to me". |

I just tried to bring up a topic that I thought that would be interesting for everybody. Noinochi said: zetsuboSensei said: Shame. I've been in a cesspool for too long. O: Not really, millions of people go on 4chan FOR threads, thousands of people go on MAL, but only a small percentage of that actually use the forums. Ah, I phrased that in the wrong way. I meant /a/. Also, I am not asking for critiques and reviews. I just wanted an exchange of opinions between MAL users about these seiyuus(whether you'd watch this anime for this VA, they get too much roles, or who deserves more roles, etc.). This thread go on for those who are interested. |
| What's the difference between an opinion from 4chan (assuming you actually get a serious response) and an opinion from MAL? Only voice actors that have caught my eye are Daisuke Ono (not for his work in Kuroshitsuji) and Kugumiya Rie, but they were popular anyways. |
| Well for starters MAL has a more solid set of rules so no swearing and stuff. I also don't believe everyone here in MAL is in 4chan. Topic: Daisuke Ono's best works for me would be Satou Jun from Working and Koizumi Itsuki from Haruhi. For Kugimiya, Kagura was the best. TBH, I don't really care for her tsundere roles. |

zetsuboSensei said: Gosh, we all know(and it's obvious) that MAL is far more organized than 4chan threads. I don't think there's any issue with that. 4chan threads are funner, though. I mean, who doesn't like posting random porn with possible adware on it, and then explain how you fap to it everyday? OnT: Daisuke Ono.. like him for that opening for Psychic Detective Yakumo. |

The amount of anime I've watched purely because Ono Daisuke or Hanazawa Kana voice a character is amazing, Sawashiro Miyuki will be joining those two soon it seems as well. |

| I know I love Kana Ueda and Ai Nonaka voice. Especially when they use their native accent in anime. Another voice I easily recognize is Yui Horie. I don't know but I like almost every role she's in. |

The only role that made the impact on me from Yui Horie was her Toradora! role. |

While Kana Ueda, when expressing anger in her character, her native accent sometimes shows up. Lucky I found some video for her roles. Speaking of Yui Horie, that just reminds me I haven't watch Toradora yet. |

It probably doesn't sound all that great but the fact that she did something like that is just amazing. My favourite role of her's is probably Perrine from Strike Witches. She plays the tsundere really well.Noinochi said: I think no one's interested in the topic mainly because the majority of people here don't really pay attention to the voice actors in anime. I do.

| Hanazawa Kana is probably my favourite VA. If I see her in the credits for an anime, I'm doubly likely to watch it because her voice is adorable. I love Sawashiro Miyuki as well (her voice is so soothing, and I can always pick it out among VAs), and Miyano Mamoru (his voice acting makes the crazy characters significantly more believable - Okabe? Light? Pure awesome). |

If you're talking about the great Sawashiro Miyuki then yeah, she really is amazing. Just hearing that mature-low-cool voice sends chills down my spine. Best roles from her IMO would be from Kokoro Connect, Medaka Box, SZS, Bakemonogatari and *huff* Beelzebub. |

Smoke weed everyday lol On Topic: My favorite female seiyuu is Kana Hanazawa. I just love her soft voice and most of her roles (half of my favorite character in my list are voiced by her). As for the male seiyuu, my fave is Kamiya Hiroshi. I love his "troll voice", especially in his role as Izaya in Durarara!! |

Noinochi said: I think no one's interested in the topic mainly because the majority of people here don't really pay attention to the voice actors in anime. Don't confuse lack of interest in this generic ass discussion here with lack of interest in voice actors. There are a bunch of other threads about voice actors that have a fair number of posts because the topic is clear and not just "Talk. Now." |
 |
| I love recognizing voice actors in anime! Especially the Japanese ones because arguably it's more difficult to when you dont speak the language. Anyways, my favorites seiyus are: Aya Hirano (Haruhi Suzimiya) Miyano Mamoru (Light Yagami) Sugita Tomokazu (Gintoki) Rie Kugimiya (Kagura) I love pretty much all voice actors from Gintama and i would recognize them anywhere! :P |
| I have favorite voice actors but I am not going to watch an anime just because a voice actor or actress I like is in it. here is a list of voice actors I like Crispin Freeman Wendee Lee Steven Blum Steven Brand Petrea Burchard Chris Patton Juliet Cesario Laura Bailey Monica Rial Since I am not fluent in Japanese, the Japanese just sounds like gibberish to me so I don't pay attention or care who the Japanese voice actors are. |
| I considered Mizuma Maki (one of my favourite voice actors) to be underrated well underrated enough she doesn't have her own page in myanimelist. |

| My favorite seiyuu is probably Aya Hirano, landing the best roles since 2006. KanaHana, KugiRie, ect. need a mention too. Honorable mention to Ai Nanoka because OH MY GAWD she's adorable. <3 |
