Top Three Voice Seiyuu/Actor Favorites!

Here are my 3 favorite.

1) Watanabe Kumiko (Hikawa Tohru): She is awesome! Everytime I hear her voice I'm like "oooooohhh" and yeah... And I just figured out she did Shippou of InuYasha.

2) Kimura Akiko (Rockman.EXE): I always love when Rockman talks. Rockman has a soft and nice voice. And Akiko does a great job when Rockman is screaming!

3) Sendai Eri (Iris): Reason - her voice is very pretty and mesmorizing!

AND FOR THE DUB....

1) Richard Cox (Burnerman.EXE): His voice suits Burnerman very good, I find.

2) Reece Thompson (Tohru/Tory): Obviously no where near good as the original, but his voice suits Tohru I find a bit well.

3) Alex Doduk (Netto/Lan - EXE Episode 16 and below): Just because my favorite InuYasha character is Kohaku, and he does an amazing voice for him + Alex is one of my all time favorite VAs.

I can't follow all these japanese names! I'm sorry, no matter how much I like anime in it's original japanese, I will always treasure english voice acting in my heart. I have very little knowledge of Japanese voice actors. I confess, I don't download japanese anime because I hate using my family computer, and I don't buy anime dvd's because... well I just don't know which ones are worth buying. I'M SORRY!

With that confession out of the way, I do know some seiyuus that I like.

I first heard Yuji Ueda in Love Hina, and I think his protrayal of geeky characters is incredible. Keitaro made me laugh so much. Also I find it amazing that he does the voice of both Higure and Numberman. A navi and op should be similar so I think it's cool that the same person do both voices.

Wow... is that it? Am I ever embarassed. I'll just make up for it in the dub.

1. Richard Cox (Burnerman, Inuyasha, Ranma Saotome, among others)
Fun fact, Richard does the voice of both Ranma and Inuyasha, and so does the seiyuu Yamaguchi Kappei! Coincidence or destiny? I dunno, but there is no denying that this guy does great characters. The fiery Inuyasha is one of my favorite characters of all time and he really does suit Burnerman well too. And you may not no this, but he does plenty of other roles up in Canada. He was in the Christmas Special "Donner" as the lead, he also has the lead in the kids show "Being Ian", which is pretty good, and if you ever saw the show "Breaker High" he was in that too.

2. Scott McNeil (Gutsman, Cutman, Knightman, Shademan, among others)
I was right, he does do Savageman!!! Anyways. The man, the legend. The reason I find him so great is because he can do so many characters and they can be almost indistinguishable. For example, in Beast Wars, I never knew that Rattrap, Dinobot, Silverbolt and Waspinator were done by they same person. He's amazing, and he does some of the best characters I've ever seen. I grew up listening to this guy and never knew it.

I can't just name three because I love them all so much. Kirby Morrow, Alex Doduk, Chantal Strand has such a cute voice; Sam Vicent is incredible; Kelly Sheridan is a big one; Moneca Stori, I can't help but love her voice; David Kaye has some great characters, and I can hear him on the radio doing commercial spots; Janyse Jaud, Ted Cole for his work with Wufei, Anna Cummer, Trevor Devall, Richard Newman, Sharon Alexander, Paul Dobson, Colin Murdoch... I love them all.

Ocean Group aside, I really like Greg Cipes, Ron Pearlman, Tara Strong, Hynden Walch and Khary Payton. They do voices on Teen Titans, among others.

Richard Ian Cox guest-starred in the Romeo! Christmas special 'A Little So'em So'em For Christmas'. Make sure to look for Richard Ian Cox as 'Andy' when the special airs on Teenick on Christmas night.

Yes actually I did know that. But Kirby Morrow only did Goku for the final season, and he wasn't the voice of the original Megaman. Megaman was voiced by Ian Cortlett, who now produces his own shows. Ever heard of "Being Ian" and "Yvon of the Yukon"? That's him.

That was supposed to be Kingman. It was a typo. the I and N got mixed up and I must have slipped and added the H automatically. Chill out man, it was an honest mistake.

...chill out for what? It's not like I'm making a spectacle out of it. As for the other part, I was simply wondering that since more than one person seems to've missed out on seeing the links to both language's VA pages, which is really what's supposed to help people who don't know everything by heart obviously.

Where did you get the idea that I missed any pages? I did see your page on the english VA's, it's how I got that massive list of actors. And as for the seiyuus, I've only seen 3 animes in their original language, so I didn't see the point in naming favorites because I don't really have any.

No I meant Ian Cortlett. He's the producer and creator of both shows. And I don't like Yvon of the Yukon either cause it's disgusting and not very entertaining. Being Ian is pretty good though, and Richard Cox as the lead is always good.

I agree with Kirby that Alex was better as Lan than Brad since I sometimes think the original dubbed actor is the best. I also like Scott because I have heard so many times. I also like the few villainous roles I've seen Paul Dobson do. BTW, it's Corlett not Cortlett. Also, I've searched on the Net for Kelly's age but no avail. Anyone about how old this hot voice actress is? Thanks.

Alex Doduk was funny as Lan in the first 14 episodes of EXE, especially in episodes 2 and 8. hahhahahaahhaaha

for the original.... i couldn't say, but for the american version:

1. Brad Swaile as Chaud... he was just so cool, a great voice actor.... why isn't he in Axess? >_<

2. Kirby Morrow as ElecMan/Dave. I really like him as ElecMan.

3. Scott McNeill as numerous. Scott McNeill is great no matter who he plays.
