Would the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya still been popular if they had different seiyuus (voice actors)?
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (light novel)
| What if the cast had different voice actors? For example, if Aya Hirano never voiced Haruhi, if Daisuke Ono never voiced Koizumi, if Tomokazu Sugita never voiced Kyon? Would the anime still have gained in popularity? Would different voice actors have the same impact without these voice actors? |
 |
| I'm pretty sure it wouldn't' have mattered much since they'd just get other seiyuus that sound similar anyway. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| No, even though the light novels were popular no one would have watched the anime if they used any other voice actors. |
  |
| most likely i like to believe vas dont matter that much |
 |
| In my opinion, yes it does. Voice actors are important when it comes to anime obviously. Without Aya Hirano's singing, we would never look at Haruhi as we do now. |

| @Thei9, I love your answer and that is true. If they never captured the magic of the characters voices, it might as well never been as popular. It just depends how the VAs handle their lines. Everything from the show is rememberable, to the characters voices, unique personalities, the relaxing soundtrack makes what series great. I miss this anime and I'm still waiting for S3 even 'till this day. But, I doubt Kyoto Animation would revive the Haruhi series. I mean there's more light novel adaptations waiting to be made. Many people who've read the light novel are saying there is enough for S3. I just hope something can be done in my future. |

| Assuming I would've known about it if it had different seiyuus, I would've still enjoyed it all the same, since it's the story and characters that make this show for me. Also, while I have seen it in Japanese, I usually watch the dub or read the LN, so, there's that too. |

It's one of my favorite anime of all time. |
