Aki Toyosaki is one of my favorites! it's great to see her in the list.
Dude some of these roles are ancient why still keep it?
Congrats to Miyukichi she is such a wonderful seiyuu voicing almost anything. I wish they also included Chiwa Saito and Yu Kobayashi on that list they are my favorites too
Miyuki Sawashiro just happens to be in my "Worst Seiyuus Ever" list, I dislike her voice, not to forget that when it comes to voiceACTING, she can't do the acting part at all.
That is a bit odd as she has so many of them(voices).
She sounds very, very different as Canaan, Sekiutsu Maria Tarou(SZS) and Perrine, for example.
Awww Kamiya Hiroshi didn't won. :(
But at least Ono Daisuke-sama did! :D
Congrats to them DGS boys for a great voice acting job as always. :D
Argh I know, I voted for Kamiya.
Quite a number deserving set of peoples who are awarded, Sawashiro Miyuki, Aki Toyosaki & etc....
Was quite surprised whenI saw Houkago Time, they're really great. :3
"Masamune"?
The list was long!
i like it, its good
Sex
Kanae Ito! Saten-san~ :3
Vash? The movie isn't out yet, why would he be on there?
I approve!
Shop assistant gets award!
Best Singing Award? More like "Most Popular Anisong Award" to me. Then again, if they give out the award based on the singing abilities of the seiyuus, we all know that Mizuki Nana is going to win every year. Ah well... cant expect them to give out the award to the same person every year aniway.
^:)^ congrats to all! especially nana-san :D
Sheesh..... They really are driving it and squeeze out all the publicity.....
Tsubasa, Saten and Touma. G.J.!
Dammit, SZS has epic voice acting all round. Well, Sawashiro plays Mataro but still. Hiroshi Kamiya, Kobayashi Yuu and Nonaka Ai all definitely deserve an award.
IIRC the name of the K-On! band is "Houkago Tea Time". Just leaving this note here in case you choose to correct it later.
Next year will be Akihisa Yoshii
I'm so sick of Daisuke Ono. Actually, I didn't mind him UNTIL Snow. His character just killed his voice for me.
well deserved
Just as Planned
No Norio Wakamoto?
Yes!
I alway cheer you up !
LOL, what's with Maeno Tomoaki credited with "shop assistant in K-On"? Surely you would link him with a more familiar main character, like Fujimoto Kiyokazu in Kobato, or Fujii Touya in White Album?
Female new face award being won by Ito Kanae and Toyosaki Aki comes as a pleasant surprise, considering how they get along very well with each other. They are currently working together in Railgun as Saten and Uiharu, and hosting its internet radio programme as well.
Agree ^^
Hey, where's Hanazawa Kana?
Yay! Nana Mizuki!
I love her songs and Moka's voice...
Great stuff
And Sawashiro Miyuki will always equal Puchiko for me, that was a nice role
Just like I would always see...
Ono Daisuke=Hosaka=kimochi warui XD
That O should be an A.. (Ah! My Goddess!)
Yeah but OMG sounds better.
I think this is the first time i have come close to 100% agreeing with these awards...
Erm... Shop assistant from K-ON?
hehe, im with you. and wtf is a synergy award?
Fuck yeah Hocchan!
"Tomoaki Maeno / 前野智昭 (Shop assistant – K-ON!)"
I lol'd
Fuck yeah Genda Tessho!
"玄田哲章 (Optimus Prime)"
victory for the autobots!
I approve of this list.
Woo! Go Ms Sawashiro!
Loved her as Momohime :3 she was dam good
miyuki is so versatile, its godlike.
Somewhat different from her male counterpart who, although talented, mostly does one kind of role (classy bishounen).
Akasaka: "YOU CALL THAT A PUNCH? I'LL SHOW YOU A TRUE PUNCH!"
but he does it with such hilarity. have you not seen his hosaka in minamike? i doubt kyon could pull off an opera about the spices of curry.
At first look, I thought she was kid...
Anyways, Congrats Ms. Sawashiro!
Well that does happen to some people some think im 20 when Im bout 1/4 of that or so
but Yeah grats!
You're 5?
I don't think five year olds should be on this site....
...So you mean you're 3/4 of that age.
Jesus, man
you mean 4/5
wth is the shop assistant from k-on getting an award
heh I wish
think 11+5
Man, I didn't know fractions when I was 5.
Pfft, Westerners and their educational systems.
Back in Taiwan we were learning how to calibrate the focal length of gundam optics and optimizing targeting systems at that age. Of course, to do that you needed to know the exact ballistic properties of the weapons and how they behaved in different wind speeds/directions, humidity, temperature, and precipitation, but we already learned that at the age of 3.
Honestly, to think kids over there don't even know how to operate and maintain giant robots.
She was kid (almost) when she did voice of Puchiko.
she also did the landlord in hidamari sketch.
kudos to her and kudos to koizumi.
kudos to HTT and yui.
and kudos to the main character of index being compared to an extra in k-on.
Congratulations Miyuki Sawashiro. I always used to like her voice, especially Shinku's and Tsugumi's. Indeed, well deserved.
Also, I didn't realized Maria Sekiutsu's(SZS) voice was played by Sawashiro. The types of voices that she can do is very impressive.
You should listen to her playing Monkey Lesbian Kanbaru (Bakemonogatari) and Ayane Yano (Kimi ni Todoke)... She has a wide vocal range...
Yui Horie, Kanae Ito, and Aki Toyosaki. All very well deserved.
Miyuki Sawashiro too. It's good as Perrine.
what is that merit award for?
agreed. talent goes a long way.
and now it can go even further... mmm... Yui Horie...
It's her style
IIIZZZZAAAAAAYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...!!
Great list. But sad to see that Ayako Kawasumi is not on there. :( She's been really expanding her character-typed roles lately, and I thought she should've won an award in recognition of her work.
Kanae Ito MUST DESERVED THAT, HER VOICE IS SOO~~~~~~ AWESOME!!!
I don't know what merit awards are, but I'm happy to know that Tessho Genda who voiced Convoy of G1 and Primus of Superlink and Galaxy Force has greatly honored all Transformers fans.
this list was warranted. nothing to complain about.
Merit Award for Kazuko Sugiyama - Urusei Yatsura's Jariten aka Ten-chan.
Nicely done!
Yay, Kanae~
She's sure to get in to the hall of fame someday~
Male New Face: Tomoaki Maeno / 前野智昭 (Shop assistant – K-ON!)
I musta missed that guy somehow.
>Shinjiro Miki / 三木眞一郎 (Urahara Kisuke – Bleach)
It's Shinichiro.
But congrats regardless. I'm a bit surprised Haruka Tomatsu wasn't mentioned myself.
Fukuyama award????
If this is the 4th one, when was the 3rd? Black Lagoon is about 4 years old, and Trigun is over 10...
no Ueda Kana?
Sawashiro Miyuki and Kanae Ito; hands down~
Now prepare a place for Aikawa Juri and Yuuki Aoi in the future..
A standing ovation on my part.
Can anyone explain the Synergy Award to me, and why was it awarded to Gundam?
Some rubbish about the best combined performance.
Oooookay... Are those the results of the organizers being high on something?
Just one small complaint, and that is that Durara should be Durarara. Otherwise, yes, this list pretty much has only deserving people on it. Though really, shop assistant?
literally give no fuck since all seiyuus are trash
that's right, we should all watch nothing buy silent films.
better yet, ban all anime and only allow manga.
STFU
Nice! Your troll-killing skills are remarkable!
*Doubts anyone would get the reference*
hohoho ronery trolls are ronery.
0/10
Well the seiyuu that I would never forgot because of her little squeaky voice that I thought she had a Larynx or something is none other than Koharu Kusumi when she done the voice of Kirari Tsukishima the main character of Kirarin Revolution. She was truly amazing!
MIYUKICHIIIIIIIIIII----!
i'm in no position to be but i'm so proud of her!
