So, to commemorate Takahiro Sakurai’s 45th birthday and that FF7 remake is actually happening, I’m going to do another Top 5 Favorite Roles. Here’s my Top 5 Favorite Takahiro Sakurai Roles (and for once, I’m on time yaaayy!!) :

#1: Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII

Yes, I’m sorry, I’m an FF trash and I love Cloud. FF7 was the first FF I played, though not the first FF I finished, but still, to this day, it is among my top favorites, and Cloud is still one of my favorite characters and, if I’m being honest here, also one of my first fictional crushes. So when I saw Advent Children back in 2005 or so with Cloud in fully-rendered CG and voiced, I fell in love with him even more. He was the the first Sakurai role I heard and maybe I was biased then but I started following his work after that. And yeah, he may not be a top favorite (since I practically hear him everywhere so he’s not all that unique anymore), but Takahiro Sakurai as Cloud is still one of my favorite performances. Hearing him as Cloud in the new Remake trailer was just awesome! *eargasm* (I’m still squealing every time Cloud speaks. Pls let there be dual audio ><)

#2: Suzaku Kururugi - Code Geass

Can’t talk about this guy without mentioning Suzaku. As I have probably mentioned countless times, Code Geass is a favorite series, and Lelouch is among my top favorite characters. Suzaku comes really close. I love him, despite the flaws he definitely has. Suzaku x Euphy is one of my favorite tragic couples. Code Geass can’t exist without him. Quite a tragic character with a lot of emotional baggage. Sure I cried when he stabbed Lelouch, but it was Suzaku crying and his strained voice when he murmured Lelouch’s name for the last time that did me.

#3: Reigen Arataka - Mob Psycho 100

I have only just started the series this winter season and I have to say that I LOVE REIGEN SO MUCH!!! And Sakurai’s performance makes it all the more worth it! He’s just so cool! He’s awesome! He’s great! He’s flashy yet earnest and he’s a dork who comes up with things on the fly and people actually believe him like...what? xD He’s the perfect mentor Mob could ever ask for! Sure he has some shady sides, but he’s a good guy in his heart and I love him. And Reigen becomes alive with Sakurai voicing him! Aaahhhh XD

#4: Shogo Makishima - Psycho Pass

Yes, I will say that Shogo Makishima is one of the best anime villains ever! What makes Psycho Pass great is this amazing guy. A perfect philosophical man that you can’t help but agree to some of the points he make. And his ending was just perfect! Everything about him is perfect! Psycho Pass wouldn’t have succeeded without him.

#5: Yuuhei Azuma - Cross Game

And I just have to add Cross Game here because he is a favorite character and I just love Sakurai as Azuma. That cool, genius character that becomes endearing as the series goes on. 

Now for some honorable mentions:

HM1: Meme Oshino - Monogatari Series

I’m just sad that he only appears a lot in Bakemonogatari and only mostly got mentions in its sequels. I just like the guy so much and I actually like how he left at the end of Bake, but I’m still wishing he’ll appear again (haven’t finished the series). He was just so cool!

HM2: Takashi Hayashida - Sangatsu no Lion

I almost forgot about him! I loved him! Sangatsu no Lion was just filled with all these heart-warming characters to the brim and I love it so much! (where is season 3??? ><) and that also counts Hayashida-sensei. I often see him as a sort of guardian toward Rei. He clearly loves the kid so much that he even spends his lunch time with him. He has some dorky sides that makes him very lovable. 

HM3: Yuta Sakurai - Net-juu no Susume

Just going to add him here because Net-juu no Susume was a cute series and Yuta Sakurai was a cute character. Listening to Sakurai voicing this character always put a smile on my face because he’s just too cute and my heart can’t take it!!! AAAHHHHH

cross game -- ep 6

[missgibilawliett-afo]

for cross game-ending spoilers, maybe?

well, it was a good anime but not the sports anime i’ve been looking for. in fact, i’m a little disappointed about the plays in it. no tension, no angst, no real rivalry... nothing.

and as i predicted (not a genious tho) azuma ended up lonely... 

it was meaningless to make him fall for the main girl of the story.. it was obvious that his feelings would remain one sided. he only broke his own heart...as well as mine :(

so, just for azuma, it has a 7/10 from me.

i never ever forgive it if my fave secondary character ends up heart-broken... like it did in shigatsu wa kimi no uso....jeez, how i hated that blond girl in that anime.

or ble*ch

[rnafee]

my fav character from cross game, azuma yuuhei!!!!!! love this guy, i kind of wanted him to end up with aoba but the ending was cool anyway. 

imma be drawing more CG fanart tho~

in no relation to this, yesterday i finished playing PLvsAA and started ni no kuni with my bro !!!

[renderoze]

Inspiration hit, and didn't let go till it was done...

[missgibilawliett-afo]

So,  Sakurai Takahiro-san is also in the dubbing casting of Cross Game? What is he? Pro-baseball-anime-seiyu or what?

Also Miyuki’s voice is waaaay more cuter than Azuma’s, God i miss him af

For me, 2016 was Takahiro’s year: first Kanda, then Miyuki, and now Azuma.

Well played, Kira-san, well played

[javichanwaitsumokedaruge]

I know that they don’t end up together u.u but why aoba?!! Why?!! I love azuma u.u, finally i’m finishing cross game! I’m at ch. 40! 10 to go! I didn’t wanted to see it because i know azuma it’s gonna be hurt u.u (This gif it’s not mine! I found it on google) jajaja i dont want trouble 😂
