Q: So, just hearing Mamo-chan (Dazai VA) and Hosoyan's (Kunikida VA) voices makes you want to draw Knkdz?

Me: Of course not...

Q: Really?

Me: Hmm... sorry, I lied.

[satori-the-miracle-boy]

Wait why am I only now finding out that Uchiyama voiced Miyamura and Yurio WHY DIDN'T I NOTICE IT EARLIER and also I find out that Shirabu's seiyuu is also Yuri's seiyuu and Otabek's seiyuu is Asahi's seiyuu AND MINAMI'S SEIYUU IS HINATA'S SEIYUU AND JJ'S SEIYUU ATSUMU'S SEIYUU AND SEUNGGIL'S SEIYUU IS KITA'S SEIYUU AND EMIL'S SEIYUU IS DAICHI'S SEIYUU OH MY GOD SOMEONE COME HOLD ME

[bungakusyoujo]

Sorry for hopping on an old post, I just really want to do this!

Your favourite male seiyuu?

YUSA KOUJI. Just YUSA KOUJI. I have watched and listened to so much stuff just to hear his voice it's not even funny.

Honourable mentions to: Ishida Akira (very close second fave), Miyano Mamoru (an actual legend), Kamiya Hiroshi (he's voiced so many iconic characters), Fukuyama Jun (I like his serious characters a lot), Ono Daisuke (duh), Hosoya Yoshimasa (how can a bean like him have SUCH A VOICE?), Suwabe Jun'ichi (asdfghjlajfjslhjhdssd), Sakurai Takahiro (his voice is just so godlike), Namikawa Daisuke (BRO THE RANGE), Sugiyama Noriaki (honestly the embodiment of class).

Your least favourite male seiyuu?

Toriumi Kousuke, I just don't vibe with his voice at all, even though he seems great as a person and I thoroughly enjoyed every single event with him.

Your favourite female seiyuu?

Sawashiro Miyuki. WHAT A QUEEN.

Your least favourite female seiyuu?

Hanazawa Kana. She tends to get roles that get on my nerves, but of course there are exceptions.

A seiyuu you’d watch in anything?

I think Mamo-chan, because he's so prolific I already HAVE watched him in anything.

A seiyuu that always makes you laugh?

AGAIN, Mamo-chan, the man's such a Gemini and he steals the attention whenever he appears. I also find Suwabe's comedic timing impeccable. Yucchii being a ドS and bullying everyone is a whole another topic...

The seiyuu you recognize the easiest?

Nakamura Yuuichi, for some reason I always tend to spot him in the most random shows. And Tsuda Kenjirou, the man is unmistakeable.

The seiyuu you recognize the hardest?

Generally I don't have trouble recognising voices, but Namikawa Daisuke in THOSE ROLES where he isn't his typical voice... That's just insane.

A seiyuu you’d rather not watch in anything?

Toriumi Kousuke again, no hate for the guy though.

The seiyuu with the best singing voice?

Hiro Yuuki. I've bought most of his solo CDs and he's just the best vocalist I've heard in ages. Also Taniyama Kishou, he literally has a badass band and owns it.

Seiyuu you find attractive/cute (voice/appearance)

Mamo-chan, Yucchii, Hosoyan - overall. Kamiyan's smile. Ono-D's handsomeness. Sakurai Takahiro's class.

The seiyuu you’d pick to play you?

I am positive Ishida Akira would be able to convincingly emulate my high-pitched voice.

Your favourite performance(s) from your favourite male seiyuu?

Yucchii: Jolly from Arcana Famiglia (he is either loved or hated because this role is all about VERY LOW voice and VERY SLOW speech)

Your favourite performance(s) from your favourite female seiyuu?

Miyuki: Celty from Durarara

The seiyuu with the worst singing voice?

Probably Yucchii lol, he is often called エロ音痴 (sexy tone-deaf) by the Japanese fans. That being said, I definitely enjoy his vocals even if he isn't exactly a good singer.

The series with the best cast overall?

K Project, Bungou Stray Dogs, Durarara and Hetalia have some of the best casts I've encountered, and while each show has its issues, I believe the cast is a consistently strong asset in them.

A series you would not have watched had a seiyuu you liked played a role in it?

i'm not sure if I got this right but I actually watched HUMAN LOST for two reasons: it adapts my favourite book, and it has a dashing cast, but now I regret watching it and I pity the cast for performing in such a poor production lol.

The first seiyuu you remember liking?

Irino Miyu, he played Tsubasa in Beyblade and I was instantly in love. Also Ono-D probably, he was a main character in a lot of the early anime I watched.

A seiyuu you don’t like as much as others do?

Kaji Yuuki. He's great and I adore many of his characters, but he's got so many popular roles that he sort of blends into a single voice type for me, which makes it harder for me to enjoy each performance for what it is.

The seiyuu with the most acting range?

Ishida Akira just cannot be beaten, closely followed by Namikawa Daisuke.

The seiyuu with the least acting range?

Maybe Okamoto Nobuhiko? I feel like a lot of his roles have a similar range. Not a criticism though, because he's fantastic.

A seiyuu you’d hang out with?

I would like to hang out with Madono Mitsuaki, he seems like a fun person from his live streams. Oh and Sugita Tomokazu. Bro is one of the funniest people alive.

Best seiyuu match-ups (can be a group)

Yucchii + Suwabe; Yucchii + Toriumi + Yasumoto Hiroki ( + Yoshino Hiroyuki?); Kamiyan + Ono-D; Sugitan + YouCan; DAISUKE!! cast (Namikawa, Kishio, Ono, Hirakawa, Sakaguchi)

Best seiyuu match-ups, romance edition?

I don't really do romance, but that one time Yucchii and Hirakawa Daisuke performed a BL skit parody had me in tears.

Seiyuu, who surprised you with their non-voice acting skills?

Hard to say, maybe Uemura Yuuto who actually has a teaching licence for Japanese language and could be a teacher if he wanted to lol.

A newbie seiyuu who impressed you?

I don't really keep up with newbies but Chiba Shouya who voiced Sigma in Bungou Stray Dogs definitely caught my ear.

Favourite Seiyuu above 40 Years Old?

JOKE'S ON YOU, MOST OF MY FAVES ARE ABOVE 40 YEARS OLD. ossan enjoyer

Favourite Singing Unit/Group?

Karen Guy's from Zettai Karen Children (originally: Yusa Kouji, Nakamura Yuuichi, Taniyama Kishou, later joined by Suwabe Jun'ichi)

What made you interested in seiyuu?

I'm not sure, but I've always been interested in voice performances so it seemed like a natural progression to delve into seiyuu.

Your favourite recent performances given by any seiyuu?

How recent is recent? I really enjoyed Oonuki Yuusuke in FUGOU KEIJI: Balance Unlimited as Kanbe Daisuke. It was hard to believe the guy is originally a dancer and not a voice actor.

@aree-ajisai your turn ;)

I made this a while back, and since >50% of my opinions aged like milk, I decided I should make a new one of these (eventually), but while I'm here, I should ask some other people to get in on the fun!

Some modifications were made from the original list, but the vast majority of the questions remain the same. I'm going to tag people that I think might be interested. Feel free to take part if this interests you! Oh! And tag me if you do. I like seeing people's responses.

[cestcirque]

My collection of Haikyuu!! VAs who are on YouTube bc I've been alone in this hell for too long

Kaji Yuki (voice of Kenma): Lots of chill banter, gaming, vlogs, and voice recordings he does for fun. Usually with Terashima Takuma (voice of Semi), who is just v cute. His live series カジダム (“Kajidamu”) hosts a bunch of other seiyuu from time to time and could practically be a podcast

Ishikawa Kaito (voice of Kageyama): An absolute wildcard outside of the recording studio. 🤣 Mostly gaming videos—lots of chaotic livestreams plus a few vlogs, my fave being the one with Murase Ayumu (voice of Hinata)

Kabumoto Hideaki (voice of Osamu): The Best Voice™ and you can’t tell me otherwise—I adore him. Such a weirdo and I say this w all the love in my heart. His はむらじ (“Hamster Radio”) is super cute and intimate 🥺

Miyano Mamoru (voice of Atsumu): Does he even need an introduction? He deserves all the love and respect in the world. Mostly uses YouTube for his music but makes a lot of fun vlogs and behind-the-scenes stuff to go with it

Hosoya Yoshimasa (voice of Asahi): Started posting chill vlogs about his personal life and the places he visits. His channel is titled “A World That Only I Know” and his recent videos are a soft, slice-of-life view from Japan [SOME ENGLISH SUBS AVAILABLE!]

Hanae Natsuki (voice of Hoshiumi): Everyone loves him, super funny, he’s got like 2M subscribers. He does my favorite series, "Game of Darkness" where he turns tabletop games into hardcore shounen. Often seen with Ono Kensho and Eguchi Takuya (voice of Terushima) [SOME ENGLISH SUBS AVAILABLE!]

Kimura Ryōhei (voice of Bokuto): Started Twitch bc he wanted to play video games, and honestly he plays exactly how I imagine Bokuto playing. 🙃 His aesthetic is wild and he does a lot with Okamoto Nobuhiko (voice of Nishinoya) [SOME ENGLISH SUBS AVAILABLE!]

❌ NOTE: In light of certain events, Kimura Subaru (voice of Tendō) is excluded from this list, but yes his channel is out there if you’re curious

[daily-shimonohiro]

This should be a tradition 😅

[redxblueihateloveyou]

Hi!! Do you remember Eternal Summer's event in which the seiyuus watched rin and haru's hotel scene? I remember reading the translation to what they said about it, but now (years later) I can't find it anywhere ;-;. Do you know where I could find the translation or do you remember what they said? Thanks!!! (Sorry for such random question)

Hello:) Yes-yes, I do remember hehe. It was the day event of “Free! Eternal Summer Bunkasai” and sorry, the link to original post doesn’t work and on YT is only the other part of it, so I’m taking the saved gifs from the russian rinharu group. But here you go, haha I love these idiots.

I’ve been watching the same way Sousuke’s seiyuu was watching lmao.

[miniaturestitches]

30-day seiyuu challenge/appreciation week 4 + 2 days

Finally got the time to post this!  Got really delayed because so many things got in the way...my computer decided to stop cooperating...tumblr also decided to whisk part of my draft away...

Anyway! here’s the last week for the challenge~ I don’t even know if what I typed makes sense.

Hey, if you guys want to do the 30-day seiyuu challenge (whether mine or someone else’s), can you please let me know? I want to read more appreciation posts for seiyuus~

If you want to see more posts filled with fangirling and my opinions, here is the link to week 3.

22. Seiyuu with fastest voice change

Shimazaki  Nobunaga

Just listen to his character Kaido Shun…

And this guy… 

You'll know what I mean.  The way he shifts in pitch is near instant.  

23. Seiyuu with best main character roles

Nakamura Yuuichi

He doesn’t get casted as those typical loud, heroic, shounen main characters, but you'll want to root for his characters.  (hmm, actually you'll like his characters even though they're support characters.)

He just… "owns" the character he voices.  Once I hear him voice a character, I can't really imagine that character being voiced by anyone else. 

 I feel that his voice really improves the character too; adding depth to the character.  

Special Mention: Hanae Natsuki I'm personally not a fan, but I have to admit that he is talented.  

He is given a lot of main character roles and he excels at it. He is given a lot of main character roles and he excels at it.

24. Seiyuu with best support roles

Kimura Ryohei

I don't know why, but I tend to like his characters more when they're not the main lead.  

His characters tend to make others shine and become more memorable.

25. Favorite seiyuu duo/ combination

Kimura Ryohei + Nobunaga Shimazaki

I'll go ahead and say it, I was very biased for this item.  They don't really get much projects together unlike other seiyuu duos (Kamiya Hiroshi + Ono Daisuke, Fukuyama Jun + Sakurai Takahiro)  but they're dynamics as theGreed pair just worked so well for me.

I just really, really love their tandem as Licht and Lawless!  

I loved it even more when I saw clips of the live Servamp event.

I hope to see more combinations like this in the future.  

Another duo I like is Nakamura Yuuchi + Fukuyama Jun.  Ratio and Birthday was a great tandem.

26. Seiyuus you always mistake for the other

Hatano Wataru and Konishi Katsuyuki 

The sound so similar to me.   

I actually thought these guys were voiced by Hatano Wataru until I checked the credits.

 Well, they were actually casted as son and father once (the Yaotomes in Idolish7)

I guess I'm not alone in thinking that they do have some similarities?

27. Underrated seiyuu

Kimura Subaru I don't think he gets much main voice acting roles.  (Well at least Hypmic got an anime now.)  He has this unique voice which sounds refreshing.    

I myself didn't really notice him before until someone pointed out to me how great he was in voicing Terasaka and Kanba.

Furukawa Makoto

Aside from Saitama (One-Punch Man) people rarely talk about his roles.

I think he deserves more recognition for his voice work. 

I was a bit disappointed when Taiju only got appearances in the earlier episodes of Dr. Stone.  I hope he gets a bigger role in the next season!

Did you know he did the narration in the Saiki Kusuo Psi-nan anime?  

I like his voice as Hatsuharu too.

28. Seiyuu who deserves better roles

Ono Yuki

His voice range is so flexible! 

I always get pleasantly surprised when I find out that he was the voice behind a character. He's one of those seiyuus who make you remember the character, not the voice actor.   

Sadly, I feel like everytime he is one of the main characters, he ends up getting outshined or forgotten...because other seiyuus are more popular.

Kawanishi Kengo

Really impressive work in 3an-gatsu no lion!

I think he deserves more leading roles!  He did get the lead role in Junjo no Magmell.  The anime had so much potential, but I felt that it could have ended better.

He was also perfect as Asagiri Gen in Dr. Stone!

29. Seiyuu who works well with other seiyuus

Miyu Irino

I can't really describe it well.  But Miyu Irino (both character and voice) just blends into whatever role is given to him.  

Classic example is Tachibana Chizuru from Kimi to Boku…like...he just established himself in their circle.

I guess he does get a lot of “outsider” characters who find their way in becoming a core part of a group.

One minute it’s “look at this wild card” and the next minute it’s “since when did you guys get all so chummy?!”

As expected of an experienced voice actor!  He can make his voice work in any genre, any character, with any cast.  

Hosoya Yoshimasa

He works so well with various tandems.

I have a friend who likes the Shimazaki Nobunaga + Hosoya Yoshimasa combi.

While I prefer the Miyano Mamoru + Hosoya Yoshimasa combi~

Whichever combi you like, there’s no denying his talent.  He has a good range of character types!

30. Seiyuus who gives characters life

Suzumura Kenichi

I'm not just talking about making the character lively. (like this adorable furball)

Whether the character is energetic or not, young or not, Suzumura Kenichi makes the character so believable and real.  

It seems to me that, no matter how minor, he makes each character memorable.

and that’s a wrap for the seiyuu challenge~ (for now ^ ^ ) I did have fun doing this and now have even better appreciation for the work they do.  I hope I can repeat this challenge in the future~ there are still so many impressive seiyuus out there!   

[winterune]

It’s still a bit weird when I realize that Hosoyan is older than Mamo, and both of them are older than Kimuryo lol
