Favourite (+ Least Fav) Male Seiyuu

Please check out the original post here!

This post will cover 1-2 on the original post.

While the ranking is based off of purely my personal opinion, I thought I would state some factors that go into the ranking.

Voice acting ability: This is pretty standard. You know what to expect here. Performance is a key factor here. If they can act well and convince me of the character they're playing, then I consider it a good performance. Range is another lesser component. If I feel like they have incredible range in terms of their voice and emotion, that also comes into play.

Sentimentality: This is very subjective. This takes into account things such as access to good to roles and the impact of those roles which largely depend on how good the show is and how strong the writing is. Voice actors can try their best and give really good performance, but if the production, writing, art, or directing isn't good, it can all amount to close to nothing through no fault of the artists involved.

Musical ability: These days, voice actors are expected to sing with few exceptions (Akira Ishida is an exception, for example).

Voice: Yeah, if I like their voice, it boosts them up the list because it's a voice acting list. It has nothing to do with their voice acting ability. Although, range can help this a lot.

Personality: Although it doesn't really have anything to do with any of the other categories, personality that is shown through shows, events, and radio do play a small part in this because seiyuu are ultimately entertainers. These days, they are expected to be the whole package.

For each choice, I will include a gif of a role that I liked (recent roles are prioritized) for the top ten.

Least Favourite Male Seiyuu

Eh, there are some voice actors I definitely don't like as much. Okay, obviously, I am going strictly on voice and artistry for this one. I'll save the other ones for another time. The first one that popped into my mind was Daiki Kobayashi. The second was Tatsuhisa Suzuki who did not land in this category because of his scandal. He's here because I don't find him in good in most things that aren't comedic. I can't take him seriously in serious scenes (like Bryce Papenbrook).

Favourite Male Seiyuu (TOP TEN)

HONOURABLE MENTIONS:

These ones are definitely nothing to sneeze at. I just ran out of spaces. Heck, I had to skip a few voice actors I liked here too. Actually, now that I think about it, the ordering changes really frequently so don't pay too much attention to that. Or anything. My opinions change.

Yuuichirou Umehara

This one is kinda funny. I haven't exactly seen a whole lot of range from him. However, I have enjoyed a lot of the things I've seen him in recently (Romantic Killer, Villainess Tames the Final Boss, Cautious Hero). He performs his type-cast as the ikemen particularly well, but I feel like they're only casting him as characters that are handsome because he fits that physically. I want to see him play someone absolute repulsive. I've heard him play a disgusting creep on his radio show with Koutarou Nishiyama, and it was funny (especially since it was unscripted). He is really good at singing, and I hope to see a solo career eventually. His honest personality is endearing in a way because it's just plain amusing watching someone who looks like he doesn't really want to be there having to exist there. It's relatable.

Natsuki Hanae

I honestly didn't like his voice at first. In some ways, I don't like his more annoying roles, but lately, the casting has done his wonders. I think it's pretty self-explanatory why he's here. I definitely like how he changed his image from old "Hanaecchi" (especially since he's a proud dad now).

Kensho Ono

He dropped quite a bit since my previous list. This is probably because he hasn't had any standout roles recently. Yuri is funny but kinda annoying. We see a lot of Kana fangirling about being married to him, but I want to see the other side. She called him a "natural ikemen". We need to hear from the "natural ikemen's" side.

Junichi Suwabe

His voice is well-suited for a lot of stuff, and he's really good at voice acting. He's definitely top-tier, and my favourite role would probably be Odasaku from BSD. However, his most recent role that struck a chord with me was from "Kotaro Lives Alone". That anime was harrowing for a lot of reasons, but you see some of the reasoning behind his character, it just makes you feel something. Go watch that show. I should've written a "Why You Should Watch Kotaro Lives Alone", but I was pretty lazy and a bit too stunned by the show's approach to such mature topics in such a simplistic/childish art style. Watching that after hearing him as Sukuna was a trip.

Akira Ishida

ZURA JANAI, KATSURA DA!!! Yeah, he's funny. I don't see much of him, and he's definitely not one for the public eye, but he is genuinely one of the greatest voice actors with some of the widest range I've ever seen.

Miyu Irino

I attribute the propaganda spread by datenshi-luci on Tumblr and others for keeping his placement relatively consistent. His music (from what I hear) is good, but I couldn't find it on Spotify last I looked. His acting has moved me to near tears twice with Anohana and Koe no Katachi. I haven't watched his recent roles. I don't keep up with Osomatsu-san, and he hasn't had a huge break in Mob Psycho 100 YET. I'm waiting. And won't bother with Platinum End. We all know that show is crap. Did you hear it got renewed? Bro??? Give me Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun season two.

10. Kenjiro Tsuda

I know we all know him for Way of the Househusband, but I actually still like his role in ID: Invaded. And we obviously can't forget Nanami from Jujutsu Kaisen. He definitely has a "ikebo" which is basically the seiyuu slang for "handsome voice" which a lot of the actors on this list do, but he definitely nails it perfectly.

9. Yuuichi Nakamura

I feel like his over-saturation in recent seasons has led to a bit of decline for my personal enjoyment of his roles (especially since over-saturation leads to more bad roles). This is obviously no fault of his as a voice actor or anything. I know it's ironic since having too few roles can also have the same effect. I still say that Fruits Basket 2001 got the casting better for Shigure and Hatori. Why? Because he's darn good. My favourite recent role is probably Gojo for obvious reasons which is that he's funny. I still need to finish the rest of Clannad (finished the first season) and some of his other good roles.

8. Tomokazu Sugita

Honestly, he hasn't had that many huge and major roles since striking it on his own, and I think that's good if that's what he wants (especially since his YouTube career is growing little by little). But I don't have a ton of recent roles that I can point at and go, "Yeah, I like that." I think the last one was the Usahara from Uramichi. Besides that, he places here due to pure nostalgia and sentimentality alone, and I think that really shows. He was hilarious in a lot of Gintama (which is essential for the show), and he honestly made me feel feelings when I watched SKET Dance (which you should totally watch). Although known for primarily comedy, I think it's really easy to forget that he is just as capable acting in a serious setting.

7. Mamoru Miyano

The man, the myth, the legend. This will probably move up quite a few spaces once we get his performance as Douma WHICH I PREDICTED, BY THE WAY. He can sing, dance, act, and he's got it all. Really an absolute unit. My favourite casting is when they get the description "Funny man that cries on the inside" and just get him to do the role. Dazai from Bungou Stray Dogs? Kotaro from Zombieland Saga? And maybe even Okabe from Steins;Gate (haven't watched it)? Absolute genius, but he can play anything.

6. Yuuma Uchida

Fruits Basket is clearly still on my mind, and his song Speechless has got to be one of my favourite anime endings of all time. I find it funny how he's always type-casted as the tough and grumpy type when he's the most giggly fun guy off-screen. We're talking about Kyo from Fruits Basket, Ash from Banana Fish, Megumi from Jujutsu Kaisen, Uenoyama from Given, Chika from Kono Oto Tomare, etc. They always come with an optional "soft on the inside" subgroup. His sibling stories are funny, and he has the weirdest laugh. He was originally put on our radars by his familial connections, but he quickly shot his way up to becoming one of the best newer voice actors.

5. Yoshimasa Hosoya

This is probably one of the biggest drops. I haven't seen him in much anime as of recent. This will probably shoot back up after I finish "Yakuza's Guide to Babysitting", but until then, I can't remember a recent role I really like. As such, he's on here because I like his voice and there's a lot of sentimentality to back it up. His track record is nothing to sneeze at, and even though he's usually a side character, that doesn't make him any less as an actor. Plus, he has a really good singing voice.

4. Hiroshi Kamiya

His best recent roles were from Kakushigoto and Uramichi, and those roles surely don't disappoint, but he also a huge nostalgia factor as well from things like Noragami and Angel Beats. He seems like such a stoic guy, and even though I don't like his singing at all, his acting is enough to carry to him to this high on the list. Although, now that I think about it, I don't like any of the top 4's singing.

3. Yuki Kaji

This guy is winning at life right now. I haven't even watched his recent good roles in Attack on Titan or Ousama Ranking. This rides on pretty much just how much I like his past roles. There are a lot to choose from. For one, the first anime I watched was Magi where he played his first in a line of MANY main characters. There are just so many to choose from.

2. Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

Speaking of a ton of main characters, we got the harem king himself. The relatable ball of social anxiety who also happens to apparently have allergies like me too (although his seems to present more dermal rather than respiratory). Anyways, he's funny, prevalent (yet doesn't seem to wear out too much), and he's really good at what he does. I can't picture anybody else playing Inosuke from Demon Slayer or Betelguese from Re:Zero. He has a very impressive range, and he's good at what he does.

1. Kouki Uchiyama

We don't talk about Takt Op around here. That anime was trash, and I'm sure glad I dodged that bullet. I think I would almost watch Platinum End over it. I really enjoyed his portrayal of Miyamura from Horimiya. Even though I still prefer the softness of Matsuoka's voice, I think he did really well in that role. Toge from Jujutsu Kaisen is another recent role where he's funny. But most of his key roles still reside in the nostalgia department. I don't regret watching Soul Eater subbed (for one, they didn't gender Crona). From what I've seen in Devilman, he legitimately goes ham. I didn't finish the show, but his acting with the rest of the production shook me up to the point where I couldn't even finish the show (mostly the visuals at that point but I digress).

Again, the ordering means very little, and there are so many voice actors that I didn't mention or couldn't mention due to both space and time in this mortal realm. Anyways. That means that this list will probably age just as bad as the last one even without the scandals.

Feel free to take part in this challenge yourself!

For Hanae Natsuki-san, who can’t deal with good-looking guys, the reason behind liking Umehara Yuichiro-san is...!? “Koisuru Shirokuma” Voice Actor Interview

---

Q: ...Has there been anything you both didn’t like but are now okay with?

Ume-chan: For me, it’s seafood. I like fish but I wasn’t very good with the strong sea smell from sea urchin, salmon roe or sazae, for example. Although for the past few years I've come to like it so much that it’s become one of the best things for me.

Hanae-kun: For me, it’s Umehara-kun.

Q: Is that so!?

Hanae-kun: As expected, I don’t really like good-looking guys.

Ume-chan: (lol)

Hanae-kun: Not liking them I mean, rather it’s difficult to actually look them in the eye and talk to them. To me, I thought good-looking guys were kinda like gods on a higher plain. But what I like about Ume-chan is that he’s modest, he’s interesting to talk to, and he doesn’t flaunt the fact that he’s good-looking.

Ume-chan: Is there even a person like that!?

Original Post

Google Translate is really dragging me along here. As you’ve heard from the intro. I’m not fluent at all, so this is only partially (and inaccurately) translated, but I’m trying my best! 

I left out things that I couldn’t even imagine translating, and I put square brackets for context purposes. This was kind of hard considering he interchanges Hiragana and Katakana, and there are some kanji and context that I don’t understand at all. Oh well, I’m doing my best to learn and contribute to this community!

This blog is looking for more reliable translators. If you’re interested, please DM me!

1) I want to tell you funny story :D There's a manga called Baki that has a ongoing Netflix adaptation. Turns out that manga also had a sex chapter or more like sex extra volume lol and 2 days ago they adapted it into anime! I heard about this because people were talking about it. The manga has a very weird artstyle and a peculiar style in general so the chapter nor adaptation was apparently not very popular among fans that's why it didn't make big news. Anyway, I found out that Sora Amamiya was

2) voicing the love interest! Obv. this got my interest, especially it being same month as OUR sex scene lol I even got worried, what if she refuses our scene in fear of being typecast, she's an idol after all xD But more than anything I got curious about how she handled it cause we already know about Hanaecchi's talents! So I checked it out... and it was the strangest animation and scene that was muted with only OST and random narrator's voiceover lmao And I only got to hear VAs for 2 secs xDD

I....just looked it up.... and you’re right... that was the strangest love scene I’ve ever come across :’D 

[msyuume-blog]

Yuzuru Hanyu is a big fan of Tokyo Ghoul, so he was being given an opportunity to talk with Kaneki-kun (Of course it was Hanaecchi behind the scene, lol, Hanaecchi even greeted him at the start of the video)

Tomorrow, the world takes a break?!

2017/10/09

Now then! First off, I’m back in my own home!

I have work again tomorrow early morning, so I have to go to sleep early too!

I haven’t slept at all yesterday nor today, but I still don’t feel like I can enter that switch yet! This is bad!! I feel like I can’t sleep!

But there’s a reason, and that is!

For both during the night and day parts, I sang “Gift,” and when you close your eyes, it’s like you can see the outro!

What should I do?!

I suppose it was because I was watching Yuuma-kun a lot?! The elegance of Yuuma-kun and his smile brought back flashbacks! Eigo!

Another thing, being in the dressing room was fun too! The feeling of talking to everyone backstage is always fun! It’s like being at school!

I’m glad I was assigned with Hosoya-san during the voice game, it was really nice to have been with Hosoya-san!

I feel a bit of regret because wish I asked Hanaecchi more radical questions! I thought though that since I’m his senpai, he might feel intimidated! I wonder why I thought that?! Now I understand why someone had to stand behind us in the first place!*

Also, in our dressing room, on the site of post-recording of StarMyu, was pudding!! I have splendidly eaten it all up!

By the way, the musical actors were at the event too and Sakurai Keito too! I also did the same elegant pose! It’s fate!

I used BeautyPlus again!

It is only a mere etiquette of a professional blogger!

I look forward to using it again!

Now then! Thank you for your comments and hearts!��

There are people who finally understand what I meant after I dropped the wolf hint! I’m glad!

Also, thank you StarMyu for announcing the third season ーー!

But, I have a small favour!

Everyone! Those that came to the event both day and night, there are people in the night that are still in for a surprise, so please only use sound effects if detailing the event!*

Anything after that is okay!

Thank you! Let’s look forward to all of this together!

Now then! If I REALLY don’t get any sleep soon, it’s gonna be pretty bad!

Good night!!

Everyone!! Take care of your health, Tekanin!

Blog Entry

* I didn’t read reports so I lack knowledge about what happened during the StarMyu event... Therefore, I can’t really explain anything that he’s talking about. Sorry. If someone did go/read the reports, feel free to correct any of this.

This sentence was SO HARD. I know damn well I didn’t translate it right, though I’m pretty sure that he was just asking for people to stay low-key about the deets in case of spoilers...? I’m assuming that they showed a video or PV of the future StarMyu OVA at the event or something.

声優４人で大乱闘! ボールをぶつけ合え! [リーサルリーグ ブレイズ] 実況プレイ! “A massive brawl between 4 voice actors! Smash that ball! [Lethal League Blaze] Let’s Play!” (2019.06.15)

▼あらすじ 以前、江口拓也が３人で収録しようと約束していた日付を勘違いして １度無くなってしまった３人の実況...。

“▼Summary Perviously, Eguchi Takuya mixed up the scheduled day of recording, but this is the lost Let’s Play between the 3 of them...”

The voice actors in this video are Hanae Natsuki, Eguchi Takuya and Ono Kensho. There is also another voice actor with them named Masao BUT he doesn’t speak at all during the recording...

Hilariously, all the comments from the fans already outed “Masao” as Ishikawa Kaito! Apparently he might have mentioned his gamer tag as “Masao” before on a radio show. The fans speculated he may not have been allowed to have his voice recorded because it could have been a breach of contract or his voice is copyrighted to his company so probably wouldn’t have been allowed to give his voice away for free lol who knows

Either way this an amazingly funny Let’s Play, and the best moment was at 12 minutes in when Kaito Masao was supposed to switch colours to be on Hanaecchi’s team but he switched to Egu and Kensho’s team right at the last second!
