#Seiyuu awards

[yaoisex]

The results for chil-chil’s BL Award 2024 are out!

I didn't vote for all the categories, so I'm only gonna talk about the ones I did vote for. Let's see:

Comics: I voted for His Little Amber. It got 2nd! I'm still waiting for the cast reveal for the BLCD! It's been 2 months since they announced a BLCD, but the cast has not been revealed yet. I'm anxious to know!!

Series: I voted for Fake Fact Lips Break because I adore them. It got 10th. The 1st place was Given, which I'm not mad about <3

Emotional: I voted for Kono te wo Hanasanaide 2 and it got 1st!! I'm happy. I love them!

Fetish: I voted for Minami-kun Wants to be Teased by that Voice, because obviously I have a voice fetish! I believe every seiyuu fan can relate to that. This BLCD was SO erotic *__*. It got 7th. The 1st place was Sex Drop 2 which I actually haven't listened to yet ^^;; I need to.

Next Generation: I voted for Kitayama kun & Minamiya kun because they're cute. Waiting to listen to the BLCD. It got 4th.

BLCD: I voted for Futari Asobi because Chiaki was so so SO freaking cute there. SO CUTE. Sadly it's not in the Top 10. The 1st place was Takara no Biidoro, which I'm also happy about. Ryouta and Yukke were really great there.

Seiyuu: I obviously voted for my beloved Chiaki. I also voted for Ryouta as my 2nd option. Chiaki got 6th which is pretty impressive. Ryouta wasn't in the Top 10. The 1st place was Soma.

And honestly (and I have to be honest here) I'm kinda over him getting 1st place almost every year. he's won a couple of years in a row: 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 (2nd) and 2020. It reached the point where I can no longer listen to his BLCDs. I really think he's too overrated. Sorry Soma. I used to enjoy his roles, but lately I feel that he sounds the same in every role. I'm over it. :/

Impressive that Makonyan got 9th when he's only done 2 new BLCDs this year (the rest were sequels). He's powerful alright! Well deserved. Hopefully he'll do many new ones in the future. I also love that Yukke got 7th, so the two Kobayashi are very close to each other ^^

Some honorable mentions:

I wrote comments about most of my votes, and surprisingly my comment about Chiaki was published!! ^___^ They never published my comments before so I was happy. (I'm really glad this specific comment was chosen because the Seiyuu category is the most important one for me. The second is BLCD.)

This comment about Egu made me laugh (he got 8th):

Loved the references there XD

Loved that Ryouta retweeted that his BLCD got 1st place!

Shogo also retweeted that Pittosporum got 9th place in the Series category (he's done the BLCD with ChibaSho)

I love when seiyuu interact with the BL wins. I wish more would do that.

I'm excited to think that on next year's BL Award we would probably get to vote for the His Little Amber and Pink heart Jam BLCDs! (which we only got announcements for but no cast reveal yet)

Oh?!? Hirarin was the host of the BL Awards?!

[shrewmingledotcom]

someone on twt straight up just called nayuta mid and that activated my fight or flight instintct like wtf they were saying something about how tosshi is like a unmemorable seiyuu or something and then said nayuta was mid?? what really pisses me off of how they are calling toshiyuki toyonaga an "unmemorable seiyuu" when he's absolutely amazing and talented the absolute disrespect of also calling his other roles in voice acting mid

[akkivee]

i do like how stanning the stage plays can give you a lot more mcd&nb content one might be starving for lmao

[seoafin]

i didn't fully understand what ppl meant when they said thorfinn was a feral creature but upon seeing him shriek and jump on a man and tear out his left eye with a broken arm and various other sustained injuries i get it....i do.....

[babysgarage]

that scream when he got shot sent chills down my spine

they were so right to cast toyonaga toshiyuki as kazuki

In today’s SPYxFAMILY Jump Festa 2024 stage, there was a special segment where Tanezaki-san (Anya’s JP VA) visited Endo-sensei’s office!

Endo-sensei has Yor figures on display in his office!

Aww, it’s very sweet that Endo-sensei kept the Forger family seiyuus’ signatures/drawings from the SxF exhibition! He also displayed Hayamin’s album (that she personally gave him). I like that they seem to have close relationships with each other!

You can check out the full video in this thread. Lots of cool things to see including: the mini model chairs that Endo-sensei painted white himself as references for the manga covers, a look at his awards for SxF, a short interview with Tanezaki-san and Endo-sensei and some insights into his drawing process!

English translation is available in the video. A big shoutout to the JP-EN translator who did the live translation dub for the SxF Jump Festa panel! It’s difficult to do live translation so I appreciate his hard work for overseas fans! ❤️

Synopsis: Adaptation of the 7th volume of the series.

Review Proper

I'm not sure what's gonna end first: the series or my fucking life.

As much as I love Saezuru, it's gone on for so long that it's starting to get old literally and figuratively. You know, I wouldn't even be mad if Yoneda Kou ended the series by killing Yashiro off in 6. 7 is still well-written to a point and the BLCD did deserve to rank second AGAIN in chil-chil 2022, but I'm not sure about the future of this series (it wasn't nominated in 2023 tho which is one of the few good things about 2023's).

I say a lot of things, but I'm still invested in vol. 7 & 8.

I don't know who I'm jealous of, BUT THAT SHOULD BE ME! This scene is in vol 8, not 7, but I wanted to include it anyway.

I do agree that Saezuru portrayal of the whole yakuza deal is the realest 'cause happy endings over there are quite rare, but this isn't a novel that comes out in one go. Doesn't help that June is ass. I've heard from several friends who've read the latest releases that it feels like it's lost its way and that just makes me sad. I'm still hopeful tho.🤧

As I've already stated, this placed second in 2022's awards. I mean, it's Saezuru. Frontier doesn't spare a penny for it lmao. All the major characters are voiced, and they managed to bring the A-listers back again. Sometimes, I forget that Saezuru is actually based on a manga whenever I listen to the BLCDs 'cause the production is just that good.

Shingaki slayed as usual. I've said this many times before, but no matter how bad or how well he does in another role, he will always be Yashiro. I just came from Tsunaida and we're in the middle of a Rei event in Nu:carnival, so I would expect myself to adjust to Yashiro, but I didn't need any of that lmao. Yashiro is truly Shingaki's magnum opus. I'm not at all surprised that he placed 3rd best seiyuu for Yashiro. Deserved.

Speaking of Nu:carnival, I will forever be obsessed with Yashiro's relationship with the other characters aside from Doumeki. Nanahara's voiced by my one true love, Okitsu, but like Yashiro, I love him for his character and not his voice. It is nice having the other veterans in here with him, too. The slut trio is complete with Daddy Complex SatoTaku, Boss Ass Chaser Okitsu, and Damel in Distress Shingaki. #BLESS I want Kamiya to end up with Nanahara.

I haven't heard Wacchan in years HAHAHAHAHA. His Doumeki is still amazing as always. My issues with the story aside, I'm really looking forward to his "break" in vol. 8. EEEEEEE

Special mention to my Ryuuzaki and Miyake Kenta who made their comebacks here too. I missed him so much! LMAO

The BLCD is pretty accurate to the... magazine at least, but June does sell the translated tanko (fortunately). Like the previous installments, reading the manga while listening to the BLCD was so smooth because it was so accurate. Now 7 does end in a cliffhanger, so I don't really advise listening to it if you still don't have 8. But if cliffhangers aren't an issue for you, then break a leg!

[yaoisex]

It’s this time of the year! VOTE FOR YOUR FAVS! ❤️

I could copy&paste my whole post from last year because my thoughts are exactly the same xD

As usual, I mainly care about the Best BLCD and Best Seiyuu categories. You can probably guess who I'm picking ;) Last year he wasn't in the Top 10 but I'm really hoping this year he will be!! *fingers crossed*

I haven't read most of the manga that's nominated, but as usual I see some titles that look interesting enough (especially under the Fetish category), so I might have a look~

Going to vote now!

Another masterfully adapted episode man they’re doing this justice which is insane because we thought this was unadaptable. 2B gradual succumbing to the logic virus as she realises the emotions she’s harboured for 9s all this time was gut wrenching and of course that ending!

The expanded dialogue from the commander as the bunker exploded the ost and that aerial battle whew, A-1 know how to make a scene epic and give you goosebumps for sure. Animation in that fight scene is so cool and I love how they give off the video game vibe even in anime format.

Seeing 2B and 9s love story evolve over time through their memories from each of their perspectives was so good. Before she knew it 2B had fallen deeply in love with 9s but didn’t have the frame of reference to express that.

A2 my beloved 😍 they did her justice today. For someone as stoic as she normally is to be shaken shows you the weight of 2B memories and wishes for the future that she passed on. Hate it had to end that way for her 💔

what a scene for 9s to walk into though. 9s seiyuu deserves all the awards for that feral scream. Could feel all the pain through my screen.

Getting close to the endgame now.. can’t wait to see what A-1 cook up

Identity V Nymph Award

Wu Chang Live2D Illustration

Seiyuu/Voice actor : Toshiyuki Toyonaga

Translation

- With whom would you most like to share the joy of winning the Nymph Award? I achieved this with my younger brother, but he is not here today due to business. The only person I want to tell the most about is him.

- I would like to thank you for your kindness, but I am afraid that I will only accept it from you.

- When the east wind stops blowing, memories hit the umbrella and melt into dreams.

- “One of the Nymph Award winners was unable to attend the award ceremony due to a traffic accident caused by a rainstorm.” ..........

I would like to confirm his safety immediately, so please excuse me.

Note

- Bian calls Wujiu with otouto (弟) which mean younger brother

The results of Anime Corner’s Spring Awards are coming out, and Date A Live is Sweeping. The V/A’s two of the key characters this season won best Male and Best Female Seiyuu (Nobunaga Shizamaki and Aya Endo) Won Best Opening (Paradoxes) and Best Ending (Hitohira). Got first for best Male Character/ Best Boy, and two positions for Best Female Character/ Best Girl (7th and 1st). Lastly, Date A Live V has first and second place for the season’s ships. I’m pretty sure there

good for y'all!

17th Seiyu Awards

This year's Seiyu Award ceremony was the first in-person one in three years, and it's also the first year that they made the awards completely gender-neutral which is a decision I can get behind. With each of the awards, I will be putting one notable role each from this past year or so, but I won't be putting any for some awards. I might put my thoughts under some, but I don't want to clog this post with too much uselessness.

Best Leading Voice Actor Award:

Chika Anzai

Takuya Eguchi

He also won the Most Valuable Seiyuu Award.

Atsumi Tanezaki

Best Supporting Voice Actor Award

Shuuichi Ikeda

Ryotaro Okiayu

Atsumi Tanezaki

Best Rookie Voice Actor Award

Shuuichiro Umeda

Hina Suguta

Anna Nagase

Minami Hinata

Shion Wakayama

Best Foreign Film / Drama Award

Shihori Kanjiya

Toshiyuki Morikawa

Note: He is the official dub-over for Tom Cruise. Top Gun: Maverick was really popular in America (even getting nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars)

Best Singer Award: Nijigasaki High School Idol Club

Influencer Award: Natsuki Hanae

His cats released a photobook.

Kei Tomiyama Award: Junichi Suwabe

Kids/Family Award: Ikue Otani & Rica Matsumoto

Considering that Matsumoto played Ash (Satoshi) in Pokemon, it is only fitting to give her and Otani (the voice of Pikachu) the best sendoff possible (although, Pikachu will remain in the cast).

Best Synergy Award: Jujutsu Kaisen

I totally thought this was going to go to Lycoris Recoil, but Jujutsu Kaisen is very popular. I still don't know if they're recasting Geto due to recent news though.
