Soul Eater - Voice Actor Appreciation & Discussion
The purpose of this thread is to discuss, critique and idolize the Voice Actor cast of Soul Eater. Please remember that the discussion should center on their performances as professional voice actors and not on the show content (which can be discussed in the various Episode threads). Please remember this simple rule when critiquing a VA's performance or reading another forum member's critique:

Am i the only person that likes Maka's voice? Its a little raspy, but i think it gives it a nice flare to the character.
The person who plays Shinigami is also very good. Hes able to bring out a lot of humor in his character. |

Mmh ... Patty's voice is SO adorable~<3 It fit the caracter really well! xD
I also liked Death Scythe voice. (Am I the only one that likes this character? Hehe ... ) It sound really like him.=O Maka's Voice Actor is quite inexpressive, but I like her voice, and yes, she's cute.

Count another one for liking the spin that Maka's VA puts on her voice. Obviously everyone has their own internal feeling about a character's voice when reading a manga. I think her and Soul's VA are my favorite combos to listen to at the moment.
Shinigami's VA - reading of the character is hilarious. The Thompson Sisters - haven't quite decided yet. I don't think the VAs are doing badly, it may be more of a case of the edit cuts of them switching emotions.

I actually really like Maka's voice, I think it fits her character espc when she's fighting. Soul's voice was the one that threw me when I first heard it, its not that I didnt like it, but it being low and kinda deep, it did quite fit but I like it now that Ive heard it. Shinigami-sama's seiyuu is awesome since he emphasises different parts of words when he talks Totally fits the character.

Damn...Did Uchiyama's voice break or WHAT?! It sounds great, really great, but damn if it isn't a far cry from when he did Roxas. I like the way it sounds now, though. Smooth yet with a bit of a husky quality. It broke well. He's gonna be voicing more GAR characters from now on, I'd reckon. |

Houko Kuwashima is one of the best VAs around at the moment and has a massive range, she has played 2 characters in Gundam SEED and Macross Frontier.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...ple.php?id=281 Look at her range... Clare sounds nothing like Tomoyo Sakagami who sounds nothing like Shuurei Kou and it goes on. With her talents Medusa could be one of the highlights of her career.... |
