[Faust]

I nominate:

Kana Hanazawa

 

[Demonspeed]

Ok, Romi Park already won last year so i nominate Nobuhiko Okamoto.

 

[Uriel]

I'll nominate Ootsuka, Akio. Iskandar and Uvogin mostly, but look at his impressive list of characters.

He really made them feel so...powerful and somehow you could relate with his characters.

 

[kindredxiuxiu]

Miyuki Sawashiro, to add something new.

I support:

Kana Hanazawa
Daisuke Namikawa

EDIT: After second thought, someone brought up Daisuke Namikawa and I decided to throw my support for him instead. I mean, he has such a nice track record, and as much as Ootsuka Akio is a marvelous voice actor, my vote will go to Daisuke Namikawa this time around.

 

[Gotenkss]

I nominate Hiroaki Hirata

 

[Nii]

I support Kana Hanazawa

Splendid voice actress who can adjust her voice to the characters really well.

I mean

Mayushi from Steins;Gate
Ren Kogyouku from Magi
Akana from Psycho Pass
Anri from Durarara!!
Sayaa from Sket Dance
Ooshima from Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun


In most cases I didn't even notice that it's the same actress

 

[KingOfNight]

I nominate Daisuke Namikawa.

He does the voice acting of some of my favorite characters :

Hisoka (HxH)

Ulquiorra Cifer (Bleach)

Jellal Fernandes (Fairy Tail)

Eustass Kid (One Piece)

And also I would like to nominate Miyuki Sawashiro.

She tend to play the sexy female :

Ultear Milkovich (Fairy Tail)

Saeko (HOTD)

Kurapika (HxH), And yes he is a guy but who cares, he's badass.

 

[Nuno]

Mamoru Miyano, so easy.

With masterful characters under his belt such as Okabe Rintarou (Steins;Gate), Yagami Light (Death Note) and Kida Masaomi (Durarara!!). The way he's able to express himself through a character, even such vastly different characters is amazing. He's received numerous awards for his voicing, and rightfully so.

 

[Josef]

Kazuki Yao voice of Franky in One Piece and many more! (Super~~~)

 

[Doraku]

I support Kana Hanazawa

The second nomination would goes to Tomokazu Seki. Just take a look at his resume. His most notable roles are:

Daru from Steins;Gate
Touji from Evangelion
Chiaki Shinichi from Nodame Cantabile
Kougami Shinya from Psycho-Pass
Gilgamesh from Fate/Zero
Tatsumi Takeshi from Giant Killing
Manji from Blade of the Immortals

and many more. Tomokazu Seki is a vet.

I support Tomokazu Seki and Mamoru Miyano

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

I nominate Nakata Jouji,

 

[Zasz]

Rie Kugimiya; I just love her voice.

 

[maloose]

Ah! I'm late for putting my nominee.... actually I'm so so late but I was sure Takahiru Sakurai would be among the nominees... I'm shocked and upset to see no one mentioned him. Really his work is excellent and he performed in many of the animes of 2012, so ... WHY?!

 

[Doraku]

Agreed, he should be nominated.

I love his performance as Griffith from Berserk and Oshino from Bakemonogatari. I completely forget about him, however the finalists are also awesome as well.

 

[Nii]

I think it's a pretty good list of finalists.

In case of diversity (voice-wise) I'm definitely for Namikawa here. Just compare his voice-acting as Ulquiorra (Bleach), Kazehaya (KnT), Walter (Hellsing) and Van Hohenheim (FMA:Brotherhood), some pretty amazing feet.

Kana Hanazawa impressed me lately though in overall quality I still prefer Miyano. His voice-acting for Light (Death Note) and Okabe (Steins;Gate) was plain amazing.

 

[Doraku]

The most impressive thing about Kana Hanazawa is that I did not even realize that she voiced both Mayushii and Akane. I know they are both moe-ish characters, but still in some ways the dialogue and demeanor of those two characters are very different for me to realized they are indeed voiced by the same voice actress.

On Mamoru Miyano, besides Death Note, Steins;Gate and 009, I really like his voice acting as Taichi in Chihayafuru.

 

[Ju-da-su]

Guess I really am the only one who prioritize seiyuus I like as a person more than for their voices and such here as a rationale for my vote. Partly because seriously, I believe all seiyuus can get their voices to change drastically if they're given a chance, and too bad most of those chances are in lesser animes or drama CDs. You think nmkw or Mamo are already diverse with what you have already in mind? You'll definitely reconsider if you go watch those or listen to drama CDs. (I'm not saying that nmkw or Mamo are not diverse or anything though. In fact, I know both of them are much more diverse than what most people think, since I do assume that not very many actually listen to drama CDs...Heck, I can bet that not that many people even know how these seiyuus look like...-_-")

That's actually why I didn't nominate anyone. I just know my number one seiyuu will never make it, since he doesn't voice as often in anime anymore and his roles aren't as diverse recently as they used to be anymore, though I still like him. Regardless, I'm still content with the final list though, since all of them are awesome seiyuus as well, so...:3

I vote for Sugita anyway. It was a hard choice, but...I mean, he's probably one of the most random seiyuus out there, if you really know what I'm talking about. I'd root for him for Gintoki as well, but more so because I just love his randomness. XD
