2011 Year-Ender: Female Seiyuu

Fourth in line for the Year-Ender event is Female Seiyuu nominations. Vote Away~

——————————————————————-

Well hello ladies! This is going to be very tough! There are some really great actresses in this group just like the guys, while I will always have my personal favorites like Kanade Itou, Kana Hanazawa ( requiring lots of Hanazawa vaccines ) and several others. But this is really up to the votes! So take some time and pick the best female seiyuus, hopefully your choices can win for this year!
With a few delays, the next Year-Ender post is finally here. We got the Female Seiyuu nominations for 2011. It’s always tough to narrow down a year of seiyuu’s into ~17 nominations. But we did it somehow. Thanks to the help of Kyokai for narrowing down that list for us and to Fosh for providing some good information for you viewers.

For an update, so far the following Year-Ender posts are out and voting is still open:

The list of female seiyuus are in no particular order. So check out these talented seiyuu’s and vote for the best~!

——————————————————————-

[ 1 ] Itou Kanae

I really love this girls voice! She proved to be a great side character back when she was in Railgun as Saten, but she got a huge break with roles in Hanasaku Iroha as Ohana playing a girl with so many emotions! But she really shines the most when you cast her any perverted characters. Like Sanae in Ika Musume 2, Asuna in Softenni and recently in Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai as Sena. Hearing her in those roles always get lots of laughs out of me just based on how crazy she can get.

[ 2 ] Kayano Ai

Now where did I first hear her? I think she got her starring role in Yumekui Merry as Isana and then jumped around to lots of shows afterwards like Ano Hana, Freezing, Kamisama no Memochu, Toaru Majitsu no Index II,Kamisama Dolls, Last Exile S2 and now starring in Guilty Crown as Inori. Expect to hear more of her with the winter season!

——————————————————————-

[ 3 ] Sawashiro Miyuki

This girl flew under the radar for me when she voiced Dalian in Dantalian no Shoka, even thou I know she was in Durarara and HoTD last year. There is something unique about how she voices Dalian every time she squealed over getting sweets or all of her “yes” quotes.

[ 4 ] Taketatsu Ayana

If you have seen any episodes of K-ON!… chances are you might know who this girl is, need a hint? Twintails! Well that was easy! Azunyan, of course. Aside from being member of the light music club you can hear her voice in Guilty Crown as the moe hacker Tsugumi! Unless someone like Kirino is more your style? Either way Ayana has shown she can play lots of roles, even some that make you wonder why… like Mio in MM who constantly beats the main guy with a bat…

[ Shimizu Miharu ] Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni!

——————————————————————-

[ 5 ] Hanazawa Kana

If you’ve watched any anime, you’ve heard her. Trust us. It’s a virus, really. Ao no Exorcist, Break Blade as a 12-year old with huge melons, Freezing, Mayo Chiki, Haganai. Honest to goodness, the girl goes to fricken work! I do think her most unique role was as Mahiru the yandere from Kamisama Dolls, where she got to play much more evil than she usually does.

We couldn’t leave a list of female seiyuu without the mention of Rie! You know she is the really famous for her various roles as every flat chested tsundere character in every J.C.Staff series…You can find her living at the studio, maybe you should check the basement? Or you can hear her kicking serious ass along side of Gintoki as Kagura in Gintama. Her recent work has her filling out her famous role as Shana in Shakugon no Shana III ( Final ) and voice work in Persona 4! as Rise.

——————————————————————-

[ 7 ] Toyosaki Aki

I still remember Aki voicing the popular Yui from K-ON! She was just so hyper and not so mentally sharp in some things, but she always made everything so lively. This year was a great one for her too. Starring in Beelzebub, Ano Hana, Fractale, Hanasaku Iroha, Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam, Mawaru Penguindrum, Softenni, Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, Tarou Majutsu no Index II, Yuru Yuri and finally Inga from UN-GO. Whoa! Would you just look at that list? Quite impressive…

[ 8 ] Saito Chiwa

Another fan favorite from Metanorn! I first heard this girl’s voice pop up in Bakemonogatari as the amazing Senjougahara, and then she became a favorite of mine. This was a great year for her starring in the Break Blade movie series, Astarotte no Omocha, C3, Gintama, Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam and Phi brain: Kami no puzzle! So you can see she has been through some interesting shows this year.

[ 9 ] Satou Rina

Oh hey look! I almost left out the electric tsundere Misaka. Yes we all got a dose of this girl’s voice when she returned as Misaka in Toaru Majutsu no Index II to shock people and fire railguns. This year has been quite good to her for landing roles in Amagami SS OVA, Ao no Exorcist, Astarotte no Omocha, Dantalian no Shoka, Sket Dance, and finally Maken-Ki! Seems there are a lot of girls staring in that series.

Hikasa has done a lot this year lending her voice talents in Infinite Stratos, Kore wa Zombie Desu ka?, Ro-Kyu-Bu!, Moshidora, Manyuu Hikenchou, Beelzebub and finally with Working’!!

[ 11 ] Noto Mamiko

Noto was playing some odd characters at the start of this year with Satellizer El Bridget! A character not many people loved at all, well more for her massive plots and backstory…This year was a nice one for her jumping into roles for Toaru Majutsu no Index, Kimi to Boku. and finally Mawaru Penguindrum to round things out for her.

//.foshizzel

——————————————————————-

[ 12 ] Kitamura Eri

I still find it very hard to picture Eri voicing someone as wild as Yui from Angel Beats. But whoa! She has been very busy this year, one of her stand out roles for me has to go to Kanade Suzutsuki from Mayo Chiki! Besides playing Kanade, Eri starred in several big shows like Ao no Exorcist, Break Blade, C3, Freezing, Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam and Working’!! Keep up the good work Eri throughout the next year.

[ 13 ] Horie Yui

Oh man I can only think back to the days of good old scary Higurashi and I remember hearing Yui appear as the cute demon girl Hanyuu! Currently you can listen to Yui eat steak and call on her Persona as Chie or kicking ass with a penguin sniper rifle in Mawaru Penguindrum. Besides playing those two important roles this year, Yui has voiced characters in Dog days, Hourou Musuko, Ben-To, Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira, Kämpfer für die Liebe and Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou.

——————————————————————-

[ 14 ] Yuuki Aoi

I first heard this girl as Tooru-chan from A channel and Victorique from Gosick. Then again, maybe you skipped on those two series? When Aoi isn’t swinging around a metal bat around, or solving mysteries while wearing fabulous dresses, you can look for her in Beelzebub, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon, Yuru Yuri, Last Exile Ginyoku no Fam, Persona 4 and Ben-To to name a few of her bigger roles this year.

[ 15 ] Kawasumi Ayako

Ayako is pulling double duty playing Saber in both Fate/Zero and Carnival Phantasm! Playing a serious version of Saber and a off the wall “comedic” version. Besides voicing Saber, you can find Ayako in Gosick, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, Hidan no Aria, Ro-Kyu-Bu, Toaru Majutsu no index II and Shakugan no Shana III (Final).

[ 16 ] Asumi Kana

Does anyone remember much about season one of Working? I sure do! After all, we first got to hear Kana voice the short yet fun girl Popura, oh those were the days. This year Kana got to lend her voice talents all ove! From Dog Days, Toaru Majutsu no Index II, Kämpfer für die Liebe, Mayo Chiki, Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou, C3 and the second season of Working!!

——————————————————————-

[ 17 ] Iguchi Yuka

Look who we have here, if you are a Index fan like myself, you will always remember Yuka playing one of her more popular roles as the big eater Index. Unless you are more of a fan of another role of hers like Maria from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai. Either way, both characters enjoy eating lots of food. Besides being known nuns with bottomless stomachs, you got to hear Yuka star in several shows this year! Like Denpa Onna, Fractale, Mayo Chiki, Yumekui Merry and C3. Next year prepare to hear her star in Nisemonogatari!

  1. Shinmaru says:

    Of every role I heard this year, I think I liked Yui Horie in Penguindrum the most. That haughtiness, man.

  2. Jrow says:

    I’m tempted to vote solely on how cute these girls are. But that’d be too tough.

    Yuka Iguchi – Her Index and Maria are the same person, but the Subaru voice work was great.
    Miyuki Sawashiro – One role left out was as Kuuku in Kamisama Dolls. Really great character in that show.
    Kanae Itou – Most for her great performance as Ohana, and also for Sena.
    Yui Horie – Plenty of great roles.
    Kana Hanazawa – What I said above.
    Noto Mamiko – Did not care for her portrayal of Bridget in Freezing, but she was good in Penguindrum and Kimi ni Todoke.
    Eri Kitamura – Really like her, and Kanade was my favorite role of hers.

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yuka Iguchi- Yep! She will forever be Index in my mind <3

      Kanae Itou- DAT OHANA VOICE!! And Sena? Damn so good, I love when she plays characters like Sena and Sanae in Ika Musume you know the "perv-ish" ones hahah

      • skylion says:

        I had just recently watched all of Hanasaku Iroha. It filled me with joy to hear it was Sena as Ohana. It was so cool that the three principal seyiuu played against type so very well in Hanasaku. She is quickly becoming my fave. Thou I love my Aki to pieces (Yui love and all that).

        • Foshizzel says:

          Kanae Itou –Yep! She is great with any role, I want her to voice the main zombie in the Sankarea anime! Because she has two things hime haircut and flower in the hair perfect for Kanae cause she voiced Saten in railgun and the zombie girl looks 100% the same.

  3. Renn says:

    I think Yuuki Aoi was the best female seiyuu this year, with Madoka, Victorique, Oshiroi, Tooru, and Giselle.

    Also voted for Itou Kanae, Kayano Ai, Toyosaki Aki, Kana Hanazawa, and Yui Horie.

  4. Eri says:

    Tuturu!

  5. Namika says:

    And Hanazawa Kana-sama taking lead again!!! Yes, she does appear in 80% of all new shows, but her voice is gorgeous, and you can’t deny that. Also, I came to love Itou Kanae a lot. I swear, those two are amazing. Especially Kana. She’s only 22 and she’s doing so much ** when the hell does she sleep ??!!

    • skylion says:

      I think it was episode seven of Guilty Crown. Her synching with the very crips animation was so darned perfect, I blinked…thought I was watching something live action for a split second.

      Scene in question: I think her character, Ayase, is on the floor out of her wheelchair, after OH MA SHOE bumped into her. The interaction ,for a dialog scene, was well paced.

    • Foshizzel says:

      Kana Hanazawa is everywhere! But I don’t mind her to much but damn!! She jumped up fast in votes…guess she is loved by a lot of anime fans…Itou Kanae YES!I love her Sena, Sanae and Ohana voice work soo good <3 I will always see her as Saten from Railgun.

      • Namika says:

        For me, she will forever be Amu from Shugo Chara. Yes, I watched that show -_______- it wasn’t that bad tho….. ^_^

  6. BlackBriar says:

    These ladies sure do love what they do and that’s why we love them so much.

    Kana Hanazawa: It’s no wonder she’s my first and foremost favorite female seiyuu. She’s all over the place and her voice is beautiful. But don’t you dare question her work ethic, the girl is a machine and she’s only 22. I doubt she even sleeps. Her memorable roles for me are: Moriyama Shiemi (Ao no Exorcist), Shiro (Deadman Wonderland), Shinomiya Ayase (Guilty Crown), Charlotte Dunois (Infinite Stratos), Hyuuga Mahiru (Kamisama Dolls), Sakamachi Kureha (Mayo Chiki!) and Hasegawa Kobato ( Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai).

    Eri Kitamura: I love her for her singing voice and her acting contrast in her characters: A tsundere in Ao no Exorcist, a cute sadist in Mayo Chiki! and a depraved yet badass masochist in C³: Cube x Cursed x Curious. Kanade Suzutsuki was my favorite role of hers.

    Yuka Iguchi: She’s awesome when it comes to characters that are nuns with black holes for a stomach whether it’s Index or Maria. But she also did well as Mayo Chiki’s trap butler Subaru and C³’s Sovereignty.

    Aoi Yuuki: Aoi is pretty talented for someone of her age, but talented nonetheless. She also does good character contrast as well playing a know-it-all detective in Gosick and a perverted BL novel writer in Ben-To.

    Yōko Hikasa: I would feel ashamed if I left her out. She doesn’t have a lot of known roles but I love the ones that I do know. And some of them look similar like IS’s Houki and Kore wa Zombie’s Sera. Tofu, if you’re reading this, another Yōko fanboy has surfaced. *high five*

    Ai Kayano: Like Yōko, she doesn’t have a lot of known roles but the difference is that she’s only now branching out. I was surprised at first when I found out she plays Guilty Crown’s Inori. One of my favorite characters from her are Ben-To’s Shiraume Ume, Yumekui Merry’s Tachibana Isana and Guilty Crown’s Inori. The only that was lagging was Kamisama Dolls’ Shiba Hibino.

    Rina Satou: Of course my prefered role from her would be Misaka Mikoto. Everyone loves the electric tsundere. Then there’s the hot pink and yellow haired, snake based bombshell Shura in Ao no Exorcist. I still remember her in the bikini top.

    • Tofu says:

      YEEEAAAH!!!!!! Yoko fist bump*! x3 LOLS

    • Foshizzel says:

      Kana Hanazawa- Yep easily a favorite here on Metanorn! After all she got her own tag from me the HanazawaVirus one a play on the virus from Higurashi…but yea I like her as Ayase in Guilty Crown.

      Yuka Iguchi- Hell ya! Maria and Index for the win, I wonder if she gets tired of voicing characters that eat and are nuns? I bet she gets bored sometimes…haha

      Rina Satou- OH GOD YES <3 Misaka! Where is that 2nd season of Railgun... DO WANT.

      Yōko Hikasa- Yep! She was great in Kore wa zombie -high five-

  7. Taka says:

    I voted for a bunch of these but this was the 2nd list I’ve seen that had left off another seiyuu with a great year. That would be Mariya Ise. Especially in light of her performance as Stocking from last year.

    This year we have:
    Yarizui Sen – Ben-to
    Revy McGarden (the first time in a long while Levy’s had a lot of lines and a fight scene) – Fairy Tail
    Riko/Lupin – Hidan no Aria
    Killua – Hunter x Hunter
    Usami Masamune – Mayo Chiki
    Sena Akagi – OreImo specials
    Dragon Kid – Tiger and Bunny
    Lucia (chick with exploding wheel) – Index II

    And then a handfull of minor roles in Maken-ki, Kamisama memo-chou, Ro-kyu-bu, Yumekui Merry, and Sengoku Otome. I particuarly liked Usami and Yarizui. IMO she should be on the list as well.

  8. drmchsr0 says:

    No Itou SHizuka
    No Asakawa Yuu
    No Mizuhashi Kaori

    WHAT THE NUTS MAN

    • skylion says:

      Yeah, I had to look those up. But, he has a point. Word up!

    • Taka says:

      Damn I can’t believe I forgot Itou Shizuka. I likes me some Hildegarde among others.

      I didn’t know about Asakawa Yuu’s show with Patrick Macias till I looked it up just now. In terms of anime though you gotta admit she didn’t do much.

      Idk about Mizuhashi Kaori all she really had was Mami, but speaking of Madoka, can you say Kyuubey? No mention of Emiri Katou who has been everywhere as of late: BakaTst’s Hideyoshi, Ben-To’s Shaga, Denpa Onna’s Ryuushi, and Yuru Yuri’s Sakurako. Also a bunch of minor roles. Everytime I turned around in fall season I heard her voicing some random character.

  9. skylion says:

    Alright. Let’s rally this thing. Before you vote. Itou Senae is the pick. She is the cure to the Kawanza virus. FEST IT UP, Folks. MEAT! Do it.

  10. anaaga says:

    Girls. Bleh.

    Oh wait, there’s HanaKawa, Yui, and Saito

  11. Hime says:

    Satou Rina <3 because Shura was my lady crush this year.

  12. tatsuya says:

    wooaahhh !!!!!! ….hanazawa kana !!!! MUST VOTE !!!!

  13. Aeroblip says:

    Saito Chiwa == Akemi Homura [Madoka Magica]

    One of her best roles (second to Senjougahara).

    Horie yui will always be one of my faves

    Aki, Ayana and Youko from the K-on! days gotta love ’em
