I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Your Name is not even leaving the VA awards. |
 |
| Congratulations to the winners! |

| The fact that Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu won nothing is just wrong. |
| Congrats to the winners. Good to see Aqours winning best vocal. |
 |
| Your name still stronk in Japan. Not even surprised. So happy to see Houchuu Ootsuka winning the Best Supporting Actor award. That man has an awesome voice. However, I would have liked that Takahiro Sakurai would have received an award. The guy has been in pretty much everywhere this last year, while performing awesome roles as Reigen or Rohan. |

| Lol Kamiki is fine but best actor? They don't have most votes anymore? Based Hanae the perverted radio host. |
| To be honest, most of these names are unknown to me, but I'm glad Ari Ozawa got an award. She deserved it :) |

| Congratulations to Sayaka Senbongi. Gahaha! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqps0MXYJFc |
| Of course Kamishiraishi and Kamiki would win no surprise. |
 |
Yena_Yuda_ said: where is kamiya hiroshi award? My first thought. Also, wow, I don't recognize any big name there, except for Hanae.... it's like this award isn't even real BooMChapow said: wow best actor and actress are not even full time seiyuu by profession.... total bs ^this |

| NOUNEN RENA....... NON-Chan!!! Yay :D The heck is that special award |
 la critique de l'intention pure |
| At least Yuusuke Kobayashi won something. I was hoping for him to win the Best Actor for his Subaru's performance. |
| Minami Tanaka needs more roles badly. I'm glad she got an award though. |
 |
| Congratulations to the winners. Glad to see Aqours winning the vocals. :D |

| No big names huh? Even Kamiya Hiroshi didn't win anything like he did every year... Also Kamiki Ryunosuke isn't seiyuu but an actor. My point is, there are many voice actors that have been in this industry for years and NOT A SINGLE known voice actor deserved any awards but one person that isn't in this industry as a real voice actor did. This years' awards must be a joke seriously. I'm highly disappointed with this. Also, there are many newcomers/inexperienced names in here. Don't want to sound like an arrogant elitist or anything but still... Anyway i'm so happy to see a veteran like Houchuu Ootsuka at least. :) |

| Glad to see Megumi Han win something there. Her work is really underrated. |
 |
| Plenty of seiyuu I don't recognize, I hope to hear their voice abilities in the future! |
  |
| Well, I'm happy for Ari Ozawa. |
| Nice to see Megumi Han on here, she got such range voicing Akko in LWA currently. |
 |
| Both the best actor/actress are merely lucky. Had voicing over Kimi no Na wa is enough to make them the best actor/actress. For other winners, I think they deserve, especially Houchuu Ootsuka-san. |
 |
| Aside from the Best Actor/Actress award, the rest of the winners are all well deserved. Also, it's pretty strange that Kamiyan's award suddenly disappeared from the event... |
crx07 said: I know what you feel. Your favorites don't win. That's not the reason which i'm sad about, at least expected one well-known seiyuu could win as "Best Actor" anyway :/ |
|
| Wow! I'm Enterprise talents bagged a lot of awards! Well they are the best agency for seiyuu after all. But Where is Yoko Hikasa or Ayane Sakura! Wait, tied with 81 Produce |

| Haters always gonna hate. |
| All the names are pretty new to me, until i saw Ari Ozawa's name :p Then again, congrats to all who won. And like others, where is the Hiroshi Kamiya award? |
| It's time to play the Game folks! |
| ... not even one seiyuu from Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu won anything... here i'm hoping Ishida Akira will win or at least one of the seiyuu from that anime.. ahh.. maybe coz that anime is not so popular they overlook it... I see this kind of pattern in seiyuu awards since long ago. anyway, congratz to the winners.. |
| Woohoo! Nakao Ryusei, Houchuu Ootsuka, and Kiyoshi Kobayashi! Super glad to see that a fair chunk of older talents get awards! Especially ecstatic to see Nakao Ryusei on here since he seems to be everywhere with my favorite characters like Hijiri Hideyoshi and Carlos Rivera. |
