    I’ve never watched the upcoming show in English, but I’d know that soundtrack anywhere. There’s only one soundtrack I know of that alternates between playful flutes and strident string quartets.

    I was disappointed that Colleen Clinkenbeard didn’t show up on this list, and even more surprized that Wendee Lee didn’t make the cut. Oh, well, you DID have fifty-some-odd peeps to start with…

      Both Clinkenbeard and Lee were on the list at one point in time and then I remembered a bunch of other people as well so they had to get pushed back. They aren’t the only ones though.

      I meant to do a Honorable Mentions video but was late enough with the final part to even get a chance to edit it. Maybe sometime soon if I get the chance.

    Guten Tag Tristan!
    “Supersize me” XD and that audio is from Spice and Wolf II When Amati challenges Lawrence to pay Holo’s Debt =3 Luv that Scene

    Supersize Me. as always a you did a well thought out countdown thanks for all the hard work to show people that these actors are a step about the crowd. Even though only a few of my favorites made the list I still was pleased to see that they make it on the list. My favorite “anythings” rarely make on to peoples’ list so this was great.

    I wasn’t expecting Mary Elizabeth to be at Number 1!
    But she’s epic. And it makes me SO MAD that she’s already out of the VA tournament on the Funimation forums….

  • Mag Noladus

    Oh man. Luci Christian. Not her herself, but the entry slot. Not the entry slot itself, per say, but the background music you chose for it. It sounds so familiar, but I can’t place it. Can anyone give me a hand and tell me what it is?

      The song itself is called “Dobutsu no Shanikusai’ Suizokukan” From the Princess Tutu OST,

      However parts of it sound similar to the prologue of Beauty and the Beast:

      • Mag Noladus

        There we go. Princess Tutu. I didn’t even think of Beauty and the Beast until you said something. Thank you very much for the information.

  • BringerOfLight

    Im guessing spice and wolf season 2 and all i say to that is HELL YA

  • Verya

    I was expecting Crispin Freeman to top your list, so when he was number 2, I guessed, “1 is either Colleen Clinkenbeard or Mary Elizabeth McGlynn.” Nice list. Have you read the Mechademia book “Limits of the Human”? It has an interview with Freeman.

    Wolf’s Rain has excellent dubs in Japanese and English, and I prefer the Japanese, but when Darcia starts to go crazy on the last disc, I have to switch it over to English to hear Blum do that creepy voice.

    You’re right about Liam O’Brien obscurity. I’ve noticed recently that he’s in a lot of stuff–I saw his name in the credits for Texhnolyze, Ergo Proxy, Paranoia Agent, Mermaid Forest, and Boogiepop Phantom. And they’re all out of print.

  • Duke of Cheese

    There are quite a few voice actors I expected to see. These included:
    Laura Bailey
    Yuri Lowenthal
    Jamieson Price
    Troy Baker (although his BEST role, in my opinion, actually came from a video game called Tales of Vesperia)
    and Travis Willingham
    but overall, this list was FUCKING GENIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!!!
    lol egoraptor reference lol.
