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:
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.

Queer eye?
brown eye
You guys think that they look fruity.
Girls think that female seiyuus sometimes look like cheap whores.
When in reality the other gender likes the way the other looks.
all in all, we all look like fruity cheap whores. And love it.
NICE.
say, who is that girl in the bottom right second from right in the first pic?
LOL
oops, I mean bottom row second from right in the first pic
The old days weren't THAT bad.Its the sexy manly voice that's important.Not the look...
As if, you mean you don't care if the female seiyu are ugly as long as they are great at voicing characters? I call bullshit.
Omg! Miyano Mamoru and Fukuyima Jun! Complete makeovers. Even though I don't like the voice of Yoshino, he is pretty surprisingly decent looking.
It's all in the hair durh.
see? there's hope for us all!!!
Emm.. plastic surgery or extreme makeover..?
If I was a girl I wouldn't find any of these guys attractive. They just look like regular asian guys. Nothing to crazy over.
They need to please the yaoi fangirls who listen to the BLCDs! >w<
Compare this to the voice overs of American cartoons.
Mark Hamill? Jennifer Hale? lol
Who's the first one on the right?
But I knew this... I was aware... Sugita-kun rocks. So do many others. Tis just news to guys who wouldn't pay attention to the male seiyuu as closely as the female lol.
In the botton row, second from right, male or female? =/
omg, cant tell for sure
Woah! that's really an improvement from an 'OK' guy to a hottie that the lady would fight over.
old school dude at bottom mid has a stache of power
half of the new ones I'd probably be getting naked with before I realised they were male... buncha ladyboys
also the guy in the bottom right is a man cause he gots a beard... the only one capable of facial hair it would seem
Used to look like ftw rofl.
Interesting as for Saiga Mitsuki being listed as a male.. She's voicing male characters but still a woman :D (last row, second from left)
Can anyone do a full translation of all of the seiyuu? I recognize about seven or eight of them, but I'm curious to find out the others.
Shimono Hiro isn't very cute in either of those pictures.
for you
凸(◣_◢)凸
Second row down and second spot ( b2 is it were an abc x 123 marked chart ) has to be one of the cutest on there! The next to last boy on the bottom would make an adorable trap. I want to see him in girl's clothes now, assuming he has the rest of the body that can pull it off.
Very very nice. But just to look at. Extreme fujoshi (fangirls) are scary when they start hallucinating about being these voice actors' wives and shit like that...
Hush, you mustn't reveal the true colours of fangirls
I don't need to, they do it themselves, what with all the screeching and glomping (aka attacking) at male cosplayers.
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.
Mmmm
Nice.
whoa, ain't that a girl on the bottom left of the first pic?
boy, someone forgot to switch off the clone factory.
Just further proof that all Asians look alike (from the neck up at least).
In the top picture, top row middle is an ugly woman.
Bottom row, second from the right is a hot girl, I'd do her.
Err no, asians are as distinctive as all of us. People who follow a trend look alike. If you sat down in Tokyo and looked at the people walking pass, you'll come to notice that some of them read the same fashion magazine.
then- 10 people
now- 30 people
did they magically multiply
+1
bottom 2nd last picture...
i came a bucket
Sakamoto Azuma and Saiga Mitsuki (2nd and 4th from left on the bottom row) are females. Reverse traps.
I only recognise Fukuyama Jun ie Lelouch. He looked so nerdy back then.
It is a sign of how far my sexuality has been subverted that I am fapping to the lot of them. ;^;
Welcome to SanCon!
*fapfapfap*
must,,, not,,, fap,,,
but I came
its fine, i fap to anon comments.
women>loli>shota>traps>men
Nowadays I can fap to nearly anything, cepting guro, preggo and some of the truly weird fetishes.
lol, when I read the commentaries, it is as if all that write here were men, so fodder that anonymous is woman ;)......or gay?
Even from the PoV of a straight male, they look hawt~
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.
niice they looked much better before
Well they do because most girls wants to see their appearance. Koyasu Takehito, for example.
Maybe I should find a new hair stylist and become sexy too...
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 at all. 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.
^ well spoken!
...Fabulous??
Hmmmm, here what I have to say for each face:
gay, gay fag, homo, gay, homo, gay, homo, fag, homo, gay, fag, homo, homo, gay, plastic surgery, fag, homo, gay, cross dresser, homo, gay, fag, pussy, homo, fag, gay....
Well you get the idea...
Yeah totally.
I get that you can only think of homoerotic things even when you are just looking at boring pictures of men.
Says a lot.
I am Fabulous ~Flicks Hair~
anonymous need not concern of their physical appearance. By standing out in the crowd, you are no longer an anonymous :o
+1
this has always been my motto
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?
Just be like Agent Smith.

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
The funny thing is that "tough, hairy badasses with short hair" is exactly what gay men like. I should know, i'm bi, well-built and I fucking love big muscles and tight, hairy ass.
Yay, welcome to stereotype land :/
"beat the shit out of them"??
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.
Welcome to Japan.
"Welcome to Asia"
corrected.
World's changing dood. Young girls nowadays want awesome hair and a cute face, not someone who's been on steroids all year long.
Ride the waves of change or be crushed underneath it.
I agree. Yes, Japanese and Korean celebs sure are cute, but they're too cute and skinny for my taste :(
Not all female otaku like cute guys better~
Touch them and I'll kill you!
"2ch is gnashing its teeth"
Is something wrong with that? What's wrong with giving the ladies some hawt guys, huh? Some guys are too close-minded.
Agrees. They're just jealous that they're ignored by women (lol)
OMG look at the one with the mustache at the bottom pic.
He looks better now but at least back then you could call him a man.
PEDO !
nmkw
Shit, now I wish to look FABULOUS.
All japs are ugly
Butthurt white man/korean/chinese/whatever..?
Butthurt white otaku/japanese/pussy/whatever..?
black perhaps?
Excuse me for lol'ing at you for calling me "white"..
Maybe it is just because I am a guy but damn they look so fruity to me. I look kind of like bottom row last one... too bad it doesn't look so good on an white man >.>
They're gorgeous.
Aren't they? :D
Where are manly Norio Wakamoto, Jouji Nakata and Akio Ohtsuka?
Fujiwara Keiji is more than manly enough to cover for them.
Miyu Irino looks like Soichi Negishi in penis head haircut. :/
Who's the second one from left on the second row? The glasses one. I suck at kanji.
Sakurai Takahiro 櫻井孝宏
Oh lord, I would have never guessed. I really like his voice too.
Names please, anon... Thanks.
oOOo sxc!
Saiga Mitsuki's a lady, though she does do a lot of young boy roles.
