How is Hayami Saori a rookie? She's been around since forever.
it's the amount of roles she's been given in a year in proportion to how long she's been around the industry.
Because she lacks Main roles?
Momoka Kawakabe in Touka Gettan says otherwise.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm as confused as Anon 01:13.
I counted 18 based of MAL's Database.
Chinatsu Akasaki = 3 main roles
Maaya Uchida = 8
Asami Seto = 6
Ayane Sakura = 8
-----
Uesaka Sumire = 3
See, the numbers "doesn't make sense". Maybe she's one those people who can't get rid off their "rookie status"?
Ikaros in SnO is the only main role one ever needs.
24. Chika Arakawa (GJ-Bu’s Kirara Bernstein)
So people actually likes to listen to that horrible voice?
I'm a little surprised to see some names there. While I adore Saori Hayami's Ayase, I think she has enough roles over enough time that she shouldn't be considered up and coming.
I was about to be disappointed in not seeing Nibutani Shinka's seiyuu here, despite seeing Rikka's and Dekomori's. While substantial, hers was really a minor role and her performance was critical in making that show enjoyable. Then when I went to find out her name, I discovered that I'm not alone in appreciating her, as she also voice Chiwa, and thus has the top spot overall. While I'm not a great fan of Chiwa, I've often felt that her seiyuu was doing a great job with the part. Glad to see Kuroyukihime there as well. She made a weak show enjoyable.
you fool
1. Chinatsu Akasaki = Nibutani VA
Don't you DARE forget:
Miho Azuki (Reversi's Naho)
What are you talking about...
she's on the list ->
5. Saori Hayami (Oreimo’s Ayase Aragaki)
Except 3rd season is shit. Somebody still watching it?
No Sakurasou's Aoyama? No Tonari no Kaibutsu's Natsume?
No Sakurasou's Aoyama? Fuck this shit.
No Tonari no Kaibutsu's Natsume? FUCK THIS SHIT!
Those fools, Hayami Saori isn't a rookie anymore. She's still one of the best though especially in singing.
Those fools are even bigger fools for not including true rookies like Morohoshi Sumire and Kayano Ai. They've been snapping up more roles lately and are definitely rising.
Kayanon isn't a rookie anymore.
i would say she's on the brink of breaking out of rookie status now as she's been taking up more roles lately.
:-(
What do you mean they forget Kido Ibuki's "Guhehehe" when she stars as Akiko in OniiAi ?!
Isn't she 13? That might make her unlucky but it shouldn't hide her.
are they all female ._.?
no Nanamin VA from sakurasou
surely that show didn't get enough love ....
I'm hoping for some more Asami Seto roles. Her voice just makes me all giddy
Saori Hayami
Sachika Misawa
They're my personal favourites!
Should be
Chinatsu Akasaki (Kill Me Baby's Sonya)
I re-watched that anime 3 times just to listen to DAT voice
Hey, Chinatsu Akasaki is Yasuna.
Sonya's VA is Natsumi Tamura. Never forget!
Of course, there must be entire casts from the same anime on the list...
Are they ALL loli seiyuu??
What do you expect?
Is there a more level-headed anime fansite or community in Japan where they don't try to look at things with bias, like having only moe on the mind, and instead decide these things more critically? I'd expect there to be more variety of characters here, some male and some older characters at least. Every single list is always full of moe...
Not that I know of.
Which exactly, the seiyuu themselves or the characters listed? If it's the latter, I won't say that Kirara is 'loli', that's for sure...
Maaya Uchida is a rookie? Funny, I thought I've seen her name in some other anime before. Maybe I'm wrong though...
try sankarea
that will jolt your memory
That chick from Akibaranger :O
Chika Arakawa is quite promising, I love Kirara's voice.
Sachika Misawa is quite good too, more interested in hearing some less kid-like voices since we heard it a little in Saki and Accel.
I'd also nominate Natsumi Takamori, who plays Misaki Kamiigusa in The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall. Very cute, lots of energy, but able to be serious when necessary.
I'd have to down vote that. All she does is yell (except the occasional time she's depressed, when she'll murmur, "Hey, kouhai-kun….")
But to each their own.
One seiyuu is pretty much like another. It is only the roles that they get that are special.
There's no way my fellow Sankaku commenter can be this shallow!
