this sorta proves ANOTHER point though: most of these VAs sound exactly the same, and the one's that do sound different always sound the same no matter what role they play
The type-casting is what gets me: younger male characters (such as Nakahito from Steel Angel, the entire cast of digimon...or anything ending in -mon for that matter) are always played by the same actresses, these same actresses also always play the tomboy-ish female characters ("Izzy" from Digimon and Motoko from Love Hina have the same VA)
even the VAs themselves, in some of the extra commentary on some of ADVs discs, complain about being type cast. (Nakahito's VA said something along the lines of "Why do i always have to play little boys?")
and if you think a Bandai/ADV/FUNimation/Geneon/etc. VA has never worked on a project for another company...most of the VAs are just contracted to a specific company, much like some actors are contracted to a specific studio, or sports players are contracted to a specific team. For instance, some of the VAs working for 4Kids once worked for ADV
