Yep, it's pretty annoying to me. You look at the most prominent/popular male seiyuu of prior generations like Akira Ishida, Hikaru Midorikawa, Keiji Fujiwara, Shinichiro Miki, Takehito Koyasu, etc. and they still get work relatively often these days. But with female seiyuu, most of the big names from the 90s and whatnot seem conspicuously absent.
I'm guessing it has to do with the fact that female seiyuu are often "idols" as well, where the younger you are the better. Either way, it's pretty lame. I'd kill for new roles for certain female seiyuu I haven't heard in ages.
