Most heroic characters for children are voiced by female seiyuu, right? (There are exceptions, but generally speaking, admired characters are young boys...who are almost exclusively voiced by women.) The people who are likely to idolise male seiyuu in BL drama CDs are usually girls at least middle school-aged or older, and furthermore, it's a fantasy that cannot involve them except as a spectator (voyeur, if you wish). Games, on the other hand, are interactive... I've never heard Namikawa do narration...or even on radios. Based on some of his roles (like Fai, Kazehaya), I'd have thought he'd be a pretty good narrator...guess not? Quote:

/facepalm, double facepalm again Namikawa...what the heck? The budget is sorta low, like most Japanese movie to be honest. This movie seems more like 'It's horrible it's bad' then 'It's so bad it's good'. Chiaking...is win. Quote:
Namikawa is okay with radio show, just happened to heard him in Hetalia Raji. I still prefer Masayan... Quote:

Most of it's not all that scary - the threads just move way too quickly! But it's probably not a good time to start anyway... Apparently there's quite a big fuss going on in there now, regarding manga, copyright and overseas fans...

I feel Kawasumi Ayako has been consistently good in the various series that I've come across. Seriously, Saber (does not) equal Nodame for example! I presume she's not an idol-type seiyuu thus her visibility is limited.
I like Mizuki Nana more for her singing rather than the acting. Her lives are beyond excellent on a good day, but she does have her off days when the clarity of the lyrics really stuffs up. She fit Fate Testarossa well, Colette (Tales of Symphonia) was ok, but Moka (Rosario-Vampire) was pretty hard on the ears. Her role as Fate seems to be a one-hit wonder, as she hasn't had leading roles in well-acclaimed anime it seems. Horie Yui has a unique and seriously cute voice. Nonetheless she knows it and obviously capitalises on that factor during live concerts - which I feel for a lady in her 30s is pushing it! Saitou Chiwa scored a one-hit wonder in Bakemonogatari in my eyes by her excellent performance there. I see her as an average seiyuu (which means very good, but unfortunately most seiyuus are very good!). In response to the recent long discussions, I'm generally pretty disgusted at die-hard fans which create the idol culture, with its complex and "what on earth" set of generally accepted rules.

Since we get the animation instead of a video, I wonder if it's not as bad as we might imagine...or if it's worse (^^

I'm not sure I'd place the blame for idol culture solely on the fans. After all, someone has to put in the cash in the first place. Also, from the sounds of it, the whole jimusho system seems to have similar roots to the studio system that existed in American during (or was it before?) the so-called Golden Age of film. I'm not too clear on the details of how the studio system was disrupted, but if this idol system in Japan is to change, I'd say that the artists need to step up, and their fans need to start rooting for what's best for their 'idols' rather than what they themselves want... Don't really see either happening anytime soon, but maybe, one day in the future...

I'll just say.
- zzz Ayachii's actual voice is boring and plain to me, but her acting is nice. - Let's not get me started on Nana's average acting when my average is.... rather average. Think above Kotobuki Minako and below people like ChiwaChiwa. - o hay, Hocchan's budokan live is released next month. Anyone want to watch it and go wut at how robotic she'll probably sound with me? And haha, everyone around me making fun of how it looks like she uses botox. - ChiwaChiwa is probably mentally ranked around Tamura Yukari for me. And they're both insane! Yay. norly, Chiwa in Kemeko DX has got to be the biggest lolwtf I have ever seen/heard. Quote:

I have a small question - as a huge fan of Miki Shinichiro, I'm wondering why he hasn't done a single character song lately? Is it just a coincidence that all his recent character image CDs (FMA:B, Hakuouki) have monologues placed against background music instead of songs? Or is there some reason that I'm not aware of? I'm pretty sure I haven't let any new releases slip through... I really want to hear Miki's singing again
On another note, it it seems like you've listed characters' names instead of VAs, Roloko

^ A few years ago, apparently, he declared that he wouldn't be singing anymore, which surprises me, considering Weiss and all that. I don't know why though - you might be able to find out more from other fans on LJ...

After watching High School of the Dead, I gained a ton of respect for Marina Inoue when I looked up the cast list later and found she was playing Rei. She sounds so passionate and anguished there, totally different from Kana Minami. And of course she's also a pretty decent singer. Unfortunately seiyuu expert JimOne seems to indicate on her blog that her career is going down the tubes. I'm not completely sure about that, but between those two shows I'd say she's one of the better seiyuus of this era. What do you think?
This reminds me of the debate about what you think makes a better voice actor: versatility and sounding completely different from the previous character you played, or using the same or a similar voice to best advantage? |

Only major roles this year would be.. Rei Miyamoto from HotD (lead female) Tsukiumi from Sekirei 2 Narvi Sutoraizu from Break Blade is pretty much a support role.. though that character might take a bigger role in one of the following 6 movies. So very slow first 9 months of the year for her... would need a big Fall season... |

Er, have we considered the possibility of Inoue Marina doing voice acting as a side thing now? Seeing as you've looked around jimu's blog, you might remember that this girl actually has brains.
Quote:
Omigawa Chiaki probably has more different voices than Hanazawa Kana or Noto Mamiko, but oh god, that acting. Using the same kind of voice, even if the acting is good, just gets..... boring, unless you enjoy the voice itself. And this is why I don't care for Mamio, but Hanazzz needs more Sakura or Mato kind of roles instead of zzz Tenshi or Snake. Also, Kamiyan (ry

For whatever reason, I have never been much impressed by Inoue Marina's work. Maybe it's my imperfect Japanese. HoTD doesn't change that, since I just hear surface angstiness and no emotional substance, myself. And until recently, Tsukiumi in Sekirei has just sounded artificial to me. Now I begin to get the humor. And I do enjoy Marina in Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru.
I like her looks and personality. j1m0ne probably knows something I don't (she knows a lot I don't), but Marina seems to me to continue to get plum roles, such as in HotD. She's not headed for huge stardom, however, it appears, just for being a solid pro. And her intelligence and overall ability do make it possible that she will branch out into other areas. According to the lists in Japanese Wikipedia, she is now getting even more game roles (no ero-games, it seems) than anime roles. As for Omigawa Chiaki, she is one of the few amateurish-sounding seiyuus that really does give me trouble. I have trouble hearing past that flat voice. Although I am coming to enjoy her in Seitokai Yakuindomo now. To compare her sound with HanaKana or Noto Kawaii.... I haven't listened carefully to a lot of Omigawa-san's work, but I do think that HanaKana and Noto Kawaii can sound unlike their most popular voices (e.g., in Darker than Black 2 and in Mnemosyne, respectively). Whereas I have never heard Omigawa-san sound anything but flat. They definitely have far more professional voices than she does, with more life in them.

Because I don't really know Japanese, the only way to impress me is to have a good vocal range, like Miyukichi and Kugyuu.
I kind of forget about the game side of voice acting. I guess the funny thing is that I like Marina's acting as a guy more than those girls for some reason. Or I'm attached to Erio Mondial too much. Quote:

So yes, everyone else actually has professional voices while poor little Omigawa is still trying to work on the one. wwww

Just random shit..
Really can't stand Satomi Arai's voice, honestly can't see the appeal for it period Otoh really, really starting to love Itou Kanae's voice, I do remember looking her up after hearing her Amu in Shugo Chara and thinking she needs way more work... than she got Mihoshi 's role in Sora no Manimani and hasn't looked back. Really appealing voice... |
