I’m surprised they didn’t have Fist of the North Star on this list…LoGH and FotNS basically share the same cast.
While I don’t have anything against Shingeki no Kyojin or One Piece, they don’t really have that much of an allstar seiyuu cast.
For SnK, apart from spawning the army of all Kaji Yuki protagonists(which had actually started since Guilty Crown more or less), Ishikawa Yui(Mikasa) literally has only 10 anime roles listed on her Wikipedia page.
Same for Tanaka Mayumi, who had not voiced anything else apart from Luffy in like forever.
So yeah, this list is BS.
Shingeki no Kyojin is there just because it is “HOT” at the moment. It will be soon forgotten.
Considering these usually end up full of new stuff, I’m surprised Cross Ange isn’t on there. Nana-chan + KitaEri + Hocchan + Yukarin + YuiKaori + Yukana… seriously Sunrise? Even has Shikata Akiko doing the soundtrack; not exactly a seiyuu, but gotta count for something.
