Chinatsu did a great job with Yasuna and Mori Summer. I have begun to like her voice.
She makes Yasuna come alive in Kill me baby. IMHO show wouldn't have been as funny if someone else voiced her.
I think Sumire Uekasa deserves a spot. Her voice as Dekomori from chuu2 was outstanding, and her Sora voice from papakiki was spot on. Since both voices are kinda contrasting too (one's hyper one's kinda reserved), she shows that she can do more than just one type of voice.
Just my two cents though
And can speak Russian and sing Katyusha.
Kirito's seiyuu gets the top spot? Totally invalid list! Rikka's seiyuu should be on top.
And is a pretty cool guy, eh ?
Kirito's seiyuu has the top spot? Totally invalid list! Rikka's seiyuu deserves it better than him!
I agree with you.
>9. Yumi Uchiyama (Momoji – Binbougami-ga!, Arata – Saki)
>Momoji – Binbougami-ga!
>Momoji
Her name is Momiji, for delicious flat chest's sake!
Natsume from Tonari's seiyuu should absolutely be on here.
Agreed. She's adorable.
No Ayako Yoshitani? The voice of the lovely Mikoto Urabe in Mysterious Girlfriend X. Man, people are fucking crazy these days.
But she's a celebrity, so it doesn't count!
Ah I see. I forgot she was a TV Actress. :P
Indeed they are. I loved here voice so much.
I thought Atsumi Tanezaki was great as Natsume in Tonari.

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Before he played Kirito he mostly unknown to some fans, though he do voiced some minor characters in Mouretsu Pirates, he really made his major rules debuts on Kirito, followed by Godou. He is indeed quite good in term of voicing Male Character.
Maaya Uchida, My personal Favorite. Compared to other Seiyuu she can be considered as new comer, She voiced several minor characters for the majority of 2010 and 2011. However recently she started to gain more popularity and started to voice some of main characters/heroine in the anime aired on 2012. Her first major role is probably Rea from anime adaptation of Sankarea and her other major role is Takanashi Rikka from Chunibyou. She possess unique voice that is hard to identify (even I can't really identify character voiced by her and pretty much surprised when I realized that Rikka is voiced by her) and she is also shown to be able to sing just like most of professional Seiyuu/VA (anyone who heard Heroic Lily would understand). Perhaps we are slowly witnessing legend in the making...
Crappy list. Where's Ibuki Kido from Oniichan Dakedo sure the show wasn't that great but that young seiyuu put in one heck of a performance as the perverted sister.

to me, Maaya Uchida is the new HanaKana. every little noise she makes when is gets hit in Meobyou never fails to make me HHHHNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG.
Kido Ibuki
guhehe~
where is Omigawa Chiaki? lover her voice
Maaaaaru~
It's Momiji not Momoji
Mariko Nakatsu (Nanami – Pet na Kanojo)
I watched that anime this entire season thinking that Nanami was played by Kaori Mizuhashi 0.0
(Mami - Madoka Magika, Minami - BakaTest)
Hirano Aya forever in my heart
She's not a new Seiyuu....
Agreed! I couldn't care less about her personal life. That's her own damn business! Fact is: She's an amazing seiyuu! I still have my hopes up for Haruhi S3. ^-^
I hope there will be a S3 too ...
I love the haruhi franchise buying all books and cant wait for the next one to be released.
There is so much good stuff to get animated but since things went like this i dont rly think it will happen. But well i hope i guess wrong on this one
look at these fan boys band together. power otakus let's go! de na na nananana.
here here! ^^
ishihara kaori so high.. i am so.. so happy. i've followed her since day one of her idol career, before she was a seiyuu, so i'm almost crying tears of joy over this
I don't think these voice actor are not doing all that bad.
These rookies actually did really good to voice them.
I can't see it wrong and we will see more of SAO later on.
I love Rikka as well.
Lagrange is such a good anime as well thanks to Ishihara and Seto.
Nothing wrong with this lists so all good.
It is quite rare that I can agree with a list, but with this one, I do. They all deserve it, I loved all their voice work! :)
I gotta say i'm most impressed by the one who voiced misaki from sakurasou. Shes got some crazy fast and super hyper borderline batshit insane dialogue.
Well the first two sure deserve it
Oh Noes!!!! Nooo! Don't put them on the getting better list, they will get fired for having to be paid more.
I doubt the ones in charge of them care at all about these "rankings".
Where is Yui Ogura?!
Well technically she's not that new, she started getting popular in 2011.
Those fucking motherfuckers left off Urabe's seiyuu.
Sometimes Japan deserves to be razed to the ground.
She's nowhere as good as these seiyuu.
Kaori Ishihara is popular because she has a very similar voice to veteran Kaori Mizuhashi. She's a good actor, but I think part of her popularity is the voice which is similar to Mizuhashi's and Mizuhashi's voice is very distinct and unique.
Too bad that Yui Ogura wasn't there on the list. I wonder if she's more popular than Kaori Ishihara?
For that same reason they made her voice Laharl's "younger sister" in Disgaea D2.
Natsumi Takamori as... Misaki-Mei
well played.
Look! Mari-san is on there!
Sword Art Online is Twilight except for teenage boys. People who love SAO have no right to complain about people who love Twilight.
This has got to be the dumbest comment I've ever read on this site.
There's no logic to it whatsoever. Just your typical brainless troll.
I AM WITH YOU!
Actually, they have the right to complain. The same way Twilight fans have the right to complain about people who love SAO.
And other people have the right to complain about both groups. Because the world is great like that.
