Despite how I feel about Rie Kugimiya (as a VA, not as a person), it's not really surprising that she'd win something. I mean, she is hugely popular after all, even outside of Japan (within the "subbie" niche, anyway).

YEAH!! I would LOVE for them to come to an American convention (on the west coast please X.D). Not sure if it's possible though, especially Kamiya, since he's such a busy guy. I think I voted for Inoue for subchara too, haha. Nyanko sensei~~ Natsume Yuujinchou is a WONDERFUL series. I hope it gets licensed. The manga has already so hopefully the series is next!! I hope they release a DVD for this year too! I'd totally buy it~ |

Omggggg, congrats Kamiyan and Kugimiya-san <3 ~ That with Kazuhiko Inoue is definitely a Natsume Yuujinchou influence ne. xDDDD
And glad to see Sugitan on there too~ JunJun got a pretty fitting award. XDDD What happened to the international award? |

Since seiyuu aren't as popular in the English-speaking world, I think this award would definitely be a popularity contest. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Hirano won. |

Good to see an old-schooler like Kazuhiko Inoue in there.
Been a fan of his since Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos. |

I'm sick of Fukuyama's hype. He is too limited as a seiyuu and when he tried to be serious, his voice is ridiculous. He isn't even talented as a comedian, his "funny" voice is annoying. Rie Kugimiya is just another overrated seiyuu.
PD: Tomokazu Sugita looks badass in that picture. |

Hiroshi Kamiya for what? Rie Kugimiya for what?
Okay, the latter's obvious, but still, can we find out what performance was award-winning?... or did they just win because of who they are? |

Not just Nagi...rumors are flying rapidly that Shana will come this Fall. You honestly cannot beat Kugimiya. If you ask me, Aya Hirano wouldn't have won last year if it weren't for Lucky Star and Haruhi backing her. Not to mention Death Note. This year really did not give her many good roles....plus her health condition early last year.
Latter is not obvious.....see my first post in this thread of how many roles she played this year. I've managed to boil it down to three or so. Kamiya I boiled down to two I believe either Natsume Yuujinchou or Gundam. Leaning towards the former since Tieria is not a very "interesting" character.
<_< DENIED! Though if you replaced Rie Kugimiya with Nana Mizuki I wouldn't mind or Fukuyama with Mamoru Miyano, then again Miyano won last year as Setsuna. |

However, Tieira has about a hundred times more fans than Natsume. I'm quite sure that this role won Kamiya got the award.
He was wonderful in Gankutsuou, though. I wouldn't say he's limited, he's just... dunno, stuck in stereotypes. Or he doesn't even try. Plus look at his recent roles - it's not like a role like Lelouch is not an invitation to stop acting and just ham it up like there's no tomorrow. (Now Miyano Mamoru, he is someone I consider overrated, though maybe it's because he hasn't shown anything great recently. He was good as Kiba and brilliant as Tamaki, but he sounded exactly the same in every role after Ouran. I quite liked him in Kurozuka, though, that was a nice surprise.) |

First of all, I'm very happy with Kamiya and Nakajima!
May'n was probably not in the nominee list because she's not a voice actress in a sense that she doesn't talk in the series. She just provides the singing voice. As for Kamiya, he got the Lead Role award in this one, so which of his lead roles got him the award? Even though he's popular for Tieria, this isn't lead role, and doesn't show his range either. Did Zetsubou Sensei have a release this year? |

I'm sure Kamiya won for Natsume Yuujinchou. They usually list more than one series though and last year when Kamiya won the sub character award, Tieria was listed as one of the roles. So was Itoshiki Nozomu even though Zetsubou sensei is the title character...

Oh I like Rie Kugiyama. Even when she's not being a tsundere.Yay for Kamiya..
That's because Japanese otaku like to pretend that their favorite female character is the most important all the time... Also outside of Kyon, Tomokazu Sugita is terribly underrated. Aya Hirano isn't really a good actress and if it weren't for Haruhi and Lucky Star no one would even care about her too much. Misa only usually gets a passing mention when talking about Death Note, people would rather talk about Light and L and when everyone thinks of Reira from NANA they think of OLIVIA singing I want Nana Mizuki to be automatically recognized every year and I have a huge bias in Jun Fukuyama's favor so no comment there. |

Hmm... Not in my circle he ain't. At a certain seiyuu-centric forum I frequent, Sugita's rather popular, though perhaps a little more for his weird personality than his acting, haha. (One of his hobbies is editing AVs and turning them into MADs, for example, LoL!!) But no, we enjoy his acting too. No one can replace him as Gintoki!!! |

GokuMew2, I agree with you. I'm so happy that Gintama is going on for a forth season, and I get to hear more of Sugita and Rie Kugiyama!!!
Does anyone else find it hysterical that Sugita has "Zangetsu" in his email address? Like a true fanboy! |

Oh, I loved her role in Kemeko DX! It was so different from everything else she's done, and she handled it so well, it was a real treat to watch. One tends to think of Kugimiya as being typcast, but that's only because she does so many tsundere. In fact, I fell in love with her voice watching Utawareru Mono, where her main role is decidedly non-tsundere, and in this same series she demonstrates her versatility doing a very different (and sexy) voice for Mutsumi. |
