Some seiyu can voice boys somewhat convincingly, but come across as slightly whiny as time goes on. Case in point: Sanae Kobayashi as Allen Walker in DGM. Seeing as how she also voiced Lucy/Nyu in Elfen Lied, her voice isn't that deep naturally. Also, for Orikasa Ai, her voice as Quatre in Gundam Wing is, without doubt, a lady's. I joke with my friend, "Why didn't any character in Wing call Quatre out on how he sounds so much like a girl?" It's almost the exact voice she used as Galatea in Claymore 10+ years later.

Since you mentioned two of Megumi Ogata's most famous characters. Have you ever noticed that Haruka's voice is more masculine then Shinji's?
