modern-male-seiyuu.jpg

2ch is gnashing its teeth at just how stylish and sexy the latest crop of male seiyuu is, with their image seemingly now on a par with that of lady seiyuu.

This is what they used to look like:

ota-seiyuu.jpg

Quite an improvement is evident. It is no wonder fujoshi are given to the same extremes of behaviour as male otaku…

You can compare against the latest crop of sexy female seiyuu here.

    actually, in the mist of all the well dressed crowd, won't paying no attention to your appearance and wearing plain clothing which is different from the majority of the well dressed crowd be an act of standing out in the crowd also?

    I've noticed from photography that a truly good looking, photogenic person will remain attractive regardless of the kind of hairstyle they have. A fellow collaborator on one project wanted to use a bald, clean-shaven man for an art nude, but we couldn't find a bald man willing to help, so instead got an acquaintance to shave his 50's pencil pusher hairdo. He had quite a stunning mug either way.

    The greater majority of seiyuu shown here do not fit the bill in that regard. Too many men who go for the effeminate look end up looking quite plain once you put their hair down and cut down on the bright lighting.

    Why the gnashing of teeth? Female seiyuu already have that idol image...

    Some of these aren't that great, some are OK... but some (like Miyano Mamoru) are great~ The improvement is nice, although I wonder if getting idols to become seiyuu affects the overall talent pool.

    Men are not sexy, women are.

    Men should aspire to be tough, hairy badasses with short hair. Not effeminate fruitcakes.

    Just looking at this bunch I feel that I could beat the shit out of them.

    The exception is number 11, 14, 30, whom look sufficiently masculine

    I love anonymous tough talk. Do "real" men come to this site and post on here? I'm sure your advice about what it takes to be a real man will impress the girls. Maybe that can be your pick up line, "Hey baby, I just told a bunch of nerds on a porn site for nerds what a real man is. Ravage me."

    Well, that's stereotyping with no basis. For all you know, he might be a closet otaku, who looks all badass on the outside to hide his powerlevels from the public, and freely reveals it on the net. In fact, I don't really think there could be that many people that fits the mold of typical weak anon you're thinking of. Most are just here for the lolz and the news.

    Honestly : what's so feminim about these guys? o__O
    They are metrosexual, that's a fact but not girly at all - some exceptions are among them, though ( last row, 4th )...
    I could date them all and would defenetly feel safe on their sides walking home in the dark =^__^=
    But I wouldn't say this 'typical Asian look' is 'sexy'...Stylish and fashionable but not neccessarly sexy...Sexyness depends - in my opinion - on the personality too...

    "Metrosexual" is just a euphemism for "I'm a soulless, dickbiting fagmonger. Please kill me before I bring any more harm to myself or the male image at large." There are well-dressed, positively *dapper* men out there who don't look effeminate by any measure of the X chromosome.
