fixed:p (don't take it to heart, just felt like doing it since it clashed with what I wanted to write xD)

the list is a bit "old" now, anyway.. "most respected" does not necessarily equate to most popular, imo.

No Inoue, Kikuko? Pfft.

im fully afiler with all of them and there all good the order is a bit off imo

Jun 29, 2012 12:50 AM by DateYutaka

I don't even know half of them. Title of the topic is very misleading.

For those who are talking about OnoD, nakamura, etc. They're in Top Coolest Seiyuu: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2012/06/26/top-25-coolest-seiyuu/

I'm alright with this list. Not only they're good in talent, but also they have cool character (real life). Tanaka Mayumi comes to mind, who in earnest and deeply attached in her role as Luffy from ONE PIECE. Nozawa as Goku is another example.

Kappei is entertaining =D And I'm so jealous of that #*#*er's drawing talent!

Since this is talent wise and not role wise, yeah, I guess I agree.I mean seiyuus should
know this. Everyone up there is respected and they all have things they're known for, even if I don't know a few (read: know most) of them.

.... I did go and check to see what roles they had. I sort of want to see the rest of the list.

Most accurate top list I've seen in a while. Probably because of the people they surveyed.

12 = Jin Uzuki from Xenosaga

I really like the ranking! is impressive the respect for the old seiyus, if this ranking was made for fans the result could be other.

Sep 2, 2011 7:34 AM by ana_li

I can't believe Miyano Mamoru didn't even make it to the list :| The only one that I can recognize is Yamaguchi Kappei, also one of my favorite seiyuu of all time.

But only in Japan. No-one cared about Harry Potter having sex in the age of 14.

i think wheh it comes to Japanese Idols the western fans are starting to view them like fans in Japan do
