k-on-cast-vs-seiyuu.jpg

Here we see the seiyuu voicing the girls of K-On! compared against their 2D counterparts, who they are loosely cosplaying.

It would seem that the seiyuu are as marketable as the girls themselves?

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

    Problem is that the saying "A face for radio" is applied to 95% of all seiyuus. Unfortunately, since their voices is just the other way around.

    Ah! It appears that you incorrectly used a 'greater than' sign when you instead meant to use a 'less than' sign. Don't worry it's a mistake that happens to the best of us.

    I changed my mind!!!- I thought they were "Cosplaying" - I didn't realize it's really them. I still Love Mio & Tsumugi best!

    I google Minako and found this video from the girls of Sphere? called "Future Stream"- Here you can see how pretty 'In Motion' - Minako is:
    http://www.planet-sphere.jp/

    english language blog mentions Minako (Mugi-chan):

    By searching on wikipedia, you find

    Yui Hirasawa voiced by Aki Toyosaki
    Mio Akiyama voiced by Yōko Hikasa
    Ritsu Tainaka voiced by Satomi Sato
    Tsumugi Kotobuki voiced by Minako Kotobuki

    I see the 3d image is heavily shopped.
    I would give a chance to Youko Hikasa and Minako Kotobuki, while the other two.. hurr..
    anyway, my loyalty goes to Marina Inoue, and i'm not going to betray her.

    just like with hentai, anime is the same thing, 2d girls > 3d girls alot, for with 2d girl, the creators tend to make the "perfect", or if something goes wrong they are just redraw them untill there true beauty comes out. Now although i really like those 3d girls, compared to the 2d cute lovable k-on girls, there is no competition.

    PS: If i ever find a girl likr yui IRL , i think i might have a stroke, i completely love this girl.

    - Toyosaki Aki is 169cm.
    - Kotobuki Minako is 158cm.

    Not sure on the other two, but I'm willing to guess that Hikasa Yoko/Mio is 155cm and Satomi Sato/Ritsu is around 152cm, give or take a couple of centimetres.

    Hmmmm...

    Yea, I'm in a minority... I voted 3d ...mainly because there was no choice for "equal"...

    In this case, I think that 3d = 2d because actually they are kinda equal (imo).

    Yea, the 3d needs a little improvement, in some areas (like hair and all), but they are the VA's, so they are one in the same ~ no?

    I say this time around... 3d = 2d.

    you know I'll bet that if the 3d girls had the same hair cut and color as the 2d girls you'd all go for the 3d girls, I know everyone would because everyone who likes 2d girls wishes there were people out there in the 3d world with the same physical traits as the 2d counter parts. That why you all cosplay!

    ffs

    Also another tip:
    The seiyuu for K-On! actually learnt to play their respective character's instruments, except Kotobuki Minako already knew how to play a piano at least a bit beforehand. They were apparently credited for playing the instruments for the ED and after checking out episode 4 of Rajion!, they're actually halfway decent playing together.

    The full ED is rather boring playing wise, so that's probably further proof that the seiyuu really played the instruments for the song.
