I didn't know he played Nena Trinity.

Daisuke Namikawa - Young Hohenheim! :dizzy: Lol, I daresay that's not the role that would make most people excited. But yeah, I also liked him as Fai. Both he and Vic Mignogna did a really good job, from what I've heard of the show.

Shinichiro Miki - ROY MUSTANG ROY MUSTANG ROY MUSTANG!!!!! :dance: I wasn't too sure about him at first - I loved Toru Okawa's version, and that's still what I hear when I think of the character - but after a few episodes, I really started to like his Mustang. I thought he was a bit too soft in the first few episodes, but once the show really got underway and people got into their characters, I thought he portrayed Mustang wonderfully. Oh, and he did Allen Schezar? The character really annoyed me by the end of the show, but he had a nice voice. He did Mullin Shetland in Last Exile too...huh, I don't remember his voice :forehead: And he's Kyuzo from Samurai 7! The guy who looks like Vash the Stampede! XD ...O.O And he's Shannon from Scrapped Princess. That was my favorite character; I remember liking his voice as well as his design and overall personality. And Touya from Tsubasa - the guy who often shows up in the worlds they go to, right? And then he was also in an episode of Samurai Champloo, apparently.

Masaya Mastsukaze - The only role I've ever heard him in was Mikami Teru from Death Note...but yeah, that was certainly distinctive! XD Out of the two Japanese words that I learned by osmosis from watching the sub, sakujo was the more prominent one.

Minami Takayama - ENVY ENVY ENVY!!!!! 8D I loooooved her work as Envy in Brotherhood. I never even noticed it was different until I looked up the names, and I still like Envy in the first anime, but Takayama did an awesome job. She could really do the yelling and the craziness that makes Envy such an awesome, creepy character. And Envy's final scene in the anime...just, wow. I had to scrape my jaw off the floor after that was done. Oooooh, and I also loved her as Dilandau! She's got the perfect voice for androgynous sort of characters - and crazy ones, too XD Takayama was also in Claymore as Irene! Though a lot of the Claymores sounded rather similar to me.... <_< Ha! And she was Tsyuoshi in Kodocha! Go from crazy people to firm, solid warrior to timid school boy! Cool.

Nozomu Sasaki - He was Tetsuo in Akira! O.O Unfortunately, I had to see that dubbed, because in the copy I borrowed from the library, the Japanese track didn't work :( I don't remember much of Mello's voice, mainly because his character rubs me the wrong way so much. I don't like watching the last twelve episodes or so of Death Note....

Miyu Irino - I actually really didn't like his voice as Haku. This is probably just because I saw Spirited Away for the first time when I was just getting into anime, but he really made Haku sound like a girl to me ._. And I never noticed anything special about Syaoran's voice, but I guess it fit.
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

The Escaflowne DVDs had some crazy faux-interviews (more like cast bull sessions) where he plays up this persona. (But it's pretty tame compared to Tomokazu Seki, bringing the ham. Maaya Sakamoto shows up in one too, but just gets teased.)

.... I never thought he sounded like a girl! o.O" And yeah, I saw this first in the English version. I thought the voices for the English and Japanese version were almost identical! (And yeah, I loved him as Haku)

Yeah, I think Haku looked like a girl - as a matter of fact, before I saw Spirited Away, when I was in Japan and just saw still shots of it in advertising, I though he was a girl, but as soon as I heard him speak I went..."OH! Whoops. Yeah, that's a boy..." lol. You have to understand, though, that Spirited Away was probably only the 2nd instance of anime I'd seen at that point, so I couldn't tell the difference between pretty boys and girls in anime then.

And tojik, those Esca interviews were great!! Tomokazu Seki is...quite the character. And Shinichiro Miki has really odd fashion sense. I mean really odd. It's the first thing I notice anytime I see him in video clips. He wore some really bizarre things in the Maitantei Loki and Otogi Zoshi interviews, too.

And sorry everyone that I've been missing recently. I should have another seiyuu up soon.

Yeah, me neither. I also watched it in English first. When I decided to switch to the Japanese track, I thought "Haku sounds like a kid!" not a girl, but a boy, like, younger than I felt he sounded in English. Haku in the dub sounded more teenager-ish in my opinion, while in Japanese, more like....10-13 XD!!!
