*waves the seiyuu fangirl flag high*

As some may have picked up from my review of UraBoku, I'm a HUGE fan of Ishida Akira. He's probably most known as Zellos from Slayers, Gaara from Naruto, and Chrono from Chrono Crusade. My favorite Ishida voice by far is Cho Hakkai from Saiyuki, though. It's the role that flagged my fangirl interest in seiyuu.

I vacillate between favorite female seiyuu, but I really enjoy Saiga Mitsuki. Rossiu was my favorite character in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (not a popular guy ...) and she voiced him.

Norio Wakamoto and Nataka Jouji are my favorite male seiyuus. Nothing can beat Wakamoto's thunderous voice, whether he's playing an enthusiastically flamboyant general or the Emperor of Britannia. I like Nataka Jouji for kinda the same reason. No matter what he's doing, he has that deep resounding voice. Aside from being the signature voice of the Type Moon, obligatory bad-ass enemy, listening to him sing Japanese bubble-pop makes the world go round.

For female seiyuus, I've recently taken a liking to Haruka Tomatsu. She has a very diverse vocal repertoire, ranging from the crack-laced hyperactive dunce Lala in ToLoveRu, to the serious faced 'tsun tsun' and 'dere dere' of the Kirishima twins from Nyan Koi. Another recent fave is Hanazawa Kana. Probably best known for voicing Tenshi in Angel Beats, I adore her deadpan roles.

Aside from these, I have the typical like-list: Shizuka Itou, Kawasumi Ayako, Kitamura Eri, Yui Horie, the entire Goddess Family Club, although only Kikuko Inoue still works these days...

For males, my first choice is Masakazu Morita who does Ichigo from Bleach. Second choice is Akio Ōtsuka who does Solid Snake's voice in Japanese, Captain Shunsui Kyōraku from Bleach, and Lieutenant Garuru in Keroro Gunso.

For females, my first choice is Rie Kugimiya who voiced Alphonse Elric in FMA, Mizore Shirayuki in Rosario+Vampire, and Taiga in ToraDora! My next female pick is Nana Mizuki who voiced Akashiya Moka in Rosario+Vampire and Lan Fan in FMA Brotherhood.

Kaneto Shiozawa, if JUST for his role as Oberstein in Legend of Galactic Heroes.

Norio Wakamoto's voice is truly epic :D He'll always be Alexander Anderson to me, though!

Another voice I'm really liking right now is Hiroshi Kamiya, who plays Itoshiki Sensei in Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. He was also a lead in Mobile Suite Gundam 00, but I haven't seen it so I'm not sure who he played.

Ah, Hiroshi Kamiya, he would be Tieria Erde in Gundam 00. He's the pilot with the glasses with the mobile suit that works more like a walking cannon. He's also Araragi in Bakemonogatari and Otonashi in Angel Beats (or Bro-tonashi to some). In Gundam 00 he also did a female voice when Tieria had to cross dress to sneak into an enemy ball.

Starts around 30 seconds in. And yes, that is him doing the voice.

Whoever is doing the voice of the little girl in Kurenai is a genius.

Oooh, he plays a glasses character? Never mind me as I queue up GS00 in crunchyroll ...
(Me? Thing for glasses characters? Never!)

I'm also partial to Shinichiro Miki, who tends to play goofball/slightly off in the head characters. I believe he was a lead in Gundam 00 too? I'll always love his Urahara (Bleach).

I'm a big fan of meganekko too! Probably not in the same way though...
-_-v

Shinichiro Miki would be Lockon Stratos, the sniper of the crew and the obligatory playboy...well kinda...

I'm a fan of Shinichiro's Kurz Weber role from Full Metal Panic. Once again the playboy sniper.

Aside from the normal people already mentioned, lately I've been liking Chiaki Omigawa (Maka, P-ko, Hotori). I also like Satomi Arai (Kuroko basically). She was close to the only reason I watch Ookami-san. Other people I like that haven't been mentioned: Yuu Asakawa, Haruka Tomatsu, and Crispin Freeman.

My overall favourite seiyuu would have to be Rie Kugimiya. >w< I love her voice to bits, and every role that she plays, she seems to give her all.

But... I also love to hear Yukari Tamura and Yui Horie. x3

For voices, I tend to pay more attention to male voices such as Daisuke Ono, Toshiyuki Morikawa, Jun Fukuyama, Takahiro Sakurai and Mamoru Miyamo. They have unique voices and I'm always able to point them out.

When it comes to females I absolutely adore Aki Toyosaki, Satomi Satou, Maaya Sakamoto, Nana Mizuki and Aya Hirano. Once again unique voices that I can point out despite their versatility.
