I dunno, seiyuu usually aren’t enough for me. I really like Kaori Nazuka but that’s a pretty flimsy reason to try to stomach Strike Witches.

Telepathy Shoujo Ran is ok. I think the first few episodes were good about the importance of having friends and family that understand and accepts who or what you are… i hope the next few ones get better…

Zero no Tsukaima for me, thanks to Tsundere Zerg Queen Rie Kugimiya, of course disregarding S2 and its terrible finale ending scene, which resulted in many sleepless nights for me in /rage mode.

World Destruction for Maaya Sakamoto? Anyone?

There’s nothing wrong in giving a show a try base on the seiyuu. In fact the cast do weight in on whether I would try a show or not, it’s like trying a TV show because your favourite actor is in it. However, you should never follow a show if the show has no other appeal to you other than the seiyuu. That’s the difference.

I gave Dragonauts the first episode one go because of the cast, the story didn’t interest me so I dropped it promptly (see? I didn’t even reach the really bad boobs bit! lol). I also like Kugimiya Rie as much as the next Kugimiya Disease carrier, but I’ll never watch Zero no Tsukaima – again, one episode of the first season was enough for me. And then there’s Itazura no Kiss, Rosario+Vampire and Alison and Lilia which I didn’t even bother even if Nana-chan is in it.

This is how it should work, fellow seiyuu admirers.

Me no like Telepathy Shoujo Ran… it seems so predictable.

I still haven’t seen Ryouko Case File but it didn’t look appealing to me much. Anyway, I’ll still give it a go.

I think the “voice” for Midori is rather fitting for her character though I couldn’t tell whether that’s how kansai ben sounds like. Indeed they fully utilize their Seiyuus for episode 3 with characters speaking more than they fight.LOL XD Hopefully future episodes will not be so “chatty”. I’ve been thinking of giving Ryouko’s Case File a try but I couldn’t find the time, might try over the weekend. (:

Telepathy Shoujo Ran doesn’t interest me at all

I’ve never picked anime on voice acting…I’ve got a memory like a goldfish so I can never remember the names. Unfortunately, due to time, I don’t think I’ll be able to get to Ryoko’s Case Files.

@j1m0ne: Yea, if there’s ever a show to teach you that you can’t judge shows based on their cast lists, it’s Boobnaut all right… My friend was showing it to me and I had the most WTF look on my face throughout the episode… until we got to the cast list and my jaw dropped. (NOOOO, WHY NANA-CHAN, WHYYYY????)

You should never pick your anime based on what seiyuu are in them, or you’ll end up like me watching Boobnaut
