Favorite Voices

[LionMaru]

Okay, this is a little hardcore I admit.

What are your favorite seiyuu (voice actors) from anime?

For me:

Megumi Hayashibara (Rei from Evangelion, Lina from Slayers, and many, many more) tops the list. Her voice is instantly recognizeable and a joy to listen to.

Ai Orikasa (Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo, Ayame from Sakura Taisen) This woman's voice has literally given me goosebumps. Great range from silly to sexy.

Akira Kamiya (Ryo from City Hunter, and many, many classic Super Robot pilots) You know when in robot anime how the pilot screams the name of the attack at the top of his lungs? Kamiya-san didn't invent that, but he perfected it.

Norio Wakamoto (Onsokumaru from 2x2 Shinobuden, Cel from DBZ) currently doing the megalomaniac thing as the Brittanian Emperor in Code Geass. Capable of the full range form Evil Mastermind to Comic Mascot.

Sakiko Tamagawa (Pirotess from Record of Lodoss War, Natsumi for You're Under Arrest) While it could be coincidence that I have fallen for just about every character she has voiced, I don't think it is. Good at playing strong, intense women with a soft inner core (MOE!).

Well, there is my top 5. What's yours? Oh you can put up American voice talent if you like. It's all good.

Well I know Ryo Horikawa did Vegeta's voice in the original...

Let me check.

Well it seems that Brian Drummond did his voice for the Ocean Group version, and Christopher Sabat did the voice for the FUNimation release. Gotta love the internet. ^^

My top favorite has got to be Sherry Lynn (Sasam from Tenchi Muyo, and the other tenchi series, Momo (Xenosaga 1).

Also, just started watching parallel dual and I just love Mitsuki's voice (done by Rie Tanaka, I think).

[theodore]

i dont kno the name of the voice actor but reborn from hitman reborn and lambo from hitman reborn and also satchii from denno coil all the best voices

[stollen]

Ai Orikasa
I prefer this. ha ha

[beyazm]

from love hina Reiko Takagi as Kaolla Su
and from fate/staynight Ayako Kawasumi as Saber

[Tsukihime]

Tezuka Kunimitsu's seiyu and Hiko Seijuro's seiyuu and also Lelouch / Zero's voice actor :)

[txcforever]

I really like Junko Takeuchi voicing Naruto making him a very convincing character no matter what his emotions are. Chie Nakamura as Sakura isn't bad either

[Rena]

I like Nakahara Mai who does Rena from Higurashi, Nagisa from CLANNAD and a lot of other characters... I'm not really sure if she's my favourite voice though. O_o

[xumbito]

mayuri from bleach (Ryusei Nakao)
lelouch from code geass
tohsaka from fate stay night (Kana Ueda)
yagami kazuma from kaze no stigma (Daisuke Ono)

[purplem]

Kenshin's voice from the OVA
Jiraiya from Naruto is interesting...
and Itachi

[rurushu]

My first pick is Jun Fukuyama, he had voiced many of the series that i've watched, or maybe it's becaused it was voiced by him therefore i watched it XD I like his character in CODE GEASS as the AWESOME and COOL Lelouch a.k.a. Zero. His other character such as Keita Kawahira from Inukami! also makes the show pretty entertaining and hilarious. 2nd i think is Yukana which is famous for her role in Full Metal Panic! as Tessa Testarossa and of course C.C. from CODE GEASS. 3rd i think is Yui Horie as her role in various animes are very well-blended with her voice. 4th is Mamoru Miyano, his character in Ouran High School Host Club who is Suou Tamaki is damn hilarious and it makes you laugh everytime you see him XD His character in Gundam OO sports a different personality as Setsuna F. Seiei is the cool, and quiet character. My 5th pick is Rie Tanaka as she's really great in Rozen Maiden as Suigintou, Lacus Clyne/ Meer Campbell in Gundam SEED series and Chii from Chobits.

These are the voices that i've been listening often but there are others that are good but because i didnt watch much of the animes they cast, so i didnt quite recognise their voices XP

Aya Hirano is the best voice in anime. It's strange to hear her speak in real-life though. She doesn't sound human but like an anime character possessed her.
