Oh, Kuroko. My all-time favorite carpetmuncher.
..and all-time favourite shock absorber.
...and all-time favourite twin-...(what's her hairstyle?)
twin-fusilli?
twin-tentacles?
puni puni~
Judgment desu-no.
Kuroko at #1 I can agree with.
and I agree whit you
Kuroko #1 siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
It's not in the list, but I really cannot imagine Konata being voiced by any other seiyuu.
Thats the power of Aya Hirano.
I agree
Actually the other day I noticed that Tamura Yukari has at least once used a voice that's pretty much identical to Haruhi's. Others even agreed.
Yukari-Tan should be named for Ranpha in Galaxy Angel in this list!
Definitely agree! Aya should be on this list twice.
Go Aya!!!!
try searching for Nayuta on Nico Nico and/or Youtube, she has Aya's voice and even BETTER, she can sing with Haruhi's voice, whereas Aya changes to her natural voice when singing God Knows and Lost My Music which really breaks the illusion.
3. Haruhi (Haruhi) – Aya Hirano
3. Haruhi (Haruhi) – Aya Hirano
3. Haruhi (Haruhi) – Aya Hirano
3. Haruhi (Haruhi) – Aya Hirano
3. Haruhi (Haruhi) – Aya Hirano
Oh... and Konata :3
Tomoko Kawakami passed away.... T__T Good night Utena.
and yes Liina Inverse being Megumi Hayashibara =P what is she doing these days she was in EVERY 90s anime i remember. Saber Marionette J, Cowboy Bebop, Lost Universe, Blue Seed list goes on...
for me, I never watched Utena, but god did I love her role as Misuzu (Air). She will be missed. T_T
As for Megumi, she's still voicing Musashi (Jesse) in Pokemon, as well as Rei in the Rebuild... that's about all I can think of, though.
She was doing wast amount of seiyuu work in 80`s already. My alltime fav seiyuu.
Ranko-chan never forget.
Good to know Aya Hirano is still relevant in memory.
Wouldn't be Haruhi without Aya's voice. No matter what has happened in recent memory, I firmly she deserved the rookie award she got for voicing Haruhi.
Aya is still very talented and perhaps the stuff she's doing in real life is just to get attention or maybe she's a bit mentally unstable. Doesn't matter. It's not like everybody in the world are mentally stable. Also, because artists, actors, directors, writers and musicians are NEVER mentally unstable!
That said, for me, Aya's best role is her light and fun role as Lucy Heartfillia in Fairy Tail. Can't wait to see more dramatic moments involving her in future episodes.
She simply lives the life she wants. Not acting to other`s expectations as some others who have no idea how to do it themselves.
If only she could eat more...
+1 for Lucy for wearing Finland`s National Flag!
They hate her but vote for her at the same time...
Typical hypocrisy I came to expect nowadays.
You know, that's why I prefer being a fan of Anime characters instead of real life idols.
For Anime characters, you like the character itself and by extension, the seiyuu for the voice that he or she likes.
If one likes an idol or an actor/actress, it will be hard to continue being a fan if that person gets into trouble. For an Anime character, you know everything there is to know about them. They can never get into any scandals, never do things to ruin their reputations, etc...
So, being a fan of Aya, I'm a fan of the voice that she lent to Konata and Haruhi. Nothing more, nothing less.
They can never get into any scandals, never do things to ruin their reputations, etc...
Actar... Remember Kannagi? ;{D
I has a sad now. :<
I agree with you, Actar. Thats how I see it, too. Aya Hirano's voice fits the characters well and her acting is good. Thats all I care about. Her IRL craziness is irrelevant.
Just like how no matter how anti-tech or whatever Miyazaki might be (if I recall correctly) Ill still watch his anime because the movies are good.
I remember something along the lines of people tearing up Kannagi manga over a vague hint that Nagi might have had an ex.
They don't hate her nearly as much as Artefact presents it. You could cut his bias with a knife.
My feelings too
Artefact isn't biased.
Artefact is a troll
Well, they had to admit that she is a pretty good seiyuu.
She is unreachable for them...
You don't have to like someone to respect the work that they do.
Besides, this isn't a list of favourite performances. It's a list of roles that have been so heavily affected and defined by their seiyuu that they cannot be imagined otherwise.
since when is finding something fitting synonymous to liking something?
I could say the same for elections...
Nothing wrong with being a tsundere...
You seem to think that everyone likes the same things and that it is impossible for people to have different preferences.
Millionth time: Aya is still doing seiyuu work! Get it at last.
Despite that, i gave you +1, Kinzer0.
she should not be relevant
sigh* I remember back in the days when she was still pretty, when she had more hair...
what happened to you Aya?
She got some illness which caused her to have hair loss
She's still pretty but seems to be under a lot of stress which does cause hair loss in women.
Sakura wouldn't be Sakura without Sakura ♥
Makino Yui did a nice job too for Tsubasa.
amen to that
nice one
What about Kana Hanazawa?
She deserves more love...
Oh she did get on the list.
28. Charlotte - Infinite Stratos
39. Shiori - The world god only knows
She didnt ranked very high but at least she is there.
Oh! Nvm, i see your point!
And it's spelled bipolar.
lol at bypolar people.
They're not really bypolar, they're just talking with themselves.
Kana Hanazawa is the most popular seiyuu in Japan just now.
