Also recall that Keiichi Morisato's sister is.... Anthy Himemiya???

My favorite seiyuu encounter was when watching Magic Knight Rayearth for the first time, and lo and behold, the little faerie who was constantly pining over Lantis and didn't like Hikaru was... Nanami???   To this day I cannot hear Yuri Shiratori and not see Nanami.  Shiratori is Nanami to me.  Except for Hatoko from Angelic Layer... she changed her voice enough for that role, so at least Hatoko isn't Nanami.. that would be slightly awkward.

I remember when I first noticed that Touga was Zechs on a repeat viewing, after having seen each already.  I think it was my first seiyuu match as my anime collection grew and I started to recognize voices.

So, there I was, watching this anime called Kaleido Star, because some people had told me it's really good. Well, I dunno about good, the few episodes I've seen haven't made much of an impression on me, one way or the other. Except for one thing: There was this one character there, a lecherous action-figure sized jester spirit who's always trying to get to see the main character naked, y'know, saying "You seem tired, you should take a shower, and don't bother to lock the door" and things like that. And, well, he has Touga's voice.

I kept giggling for hours.

Oh, and seriously, what the heck is up with Kotono Mitsushi? It just ain't natural, I tell you. She voiced Juri in SKU, yeah? A serious and solemn character. Nothing funny about it. Well, she also voiced such characters as Sailor Moon, Excel from Excel Saga, and... Ebichu, the house-keeping hamster. Seriously, what the heck?

Ahahahahahaha.

Actually Zechs was no surprise. I tend to assume any and all long-haired bishonen are played by Takehito. I'm still surprised he wasn't playing Allen Schezar. Although on the Escaflowne note, I was watching that series for years before I figured out who Dryden was.

You know Shiori's boyfriend, the guy who gets one line and no name? His voice actor gets a lot of big roles. My sister was playing a dating sim called Hourglass of Summer, and his voice actor is the main character.

Juri's voice must have either been very difficult for her voice actress, or a relief, because she usually gets the rolls of characters like Sailor Moon and Excel. Mikage is Zelgadis in Japanese, but Touga is Zelgadis in English. Miki's voice actress is Yuki from Fruits Basket, as well as Ami from Sailor Moon, and a million other characters. Utena is Misuzu from Air.

I'm not familiar with any of the other roles that Shiori's Japanese voice actress has, but in English she's Lisa Ortiz, one of my favorites. She does the voice of Lina Inverse, so if I have to watch the dub for whatever reason, I expect something like this to happen:

Shiori: "Wait, Tsuchiya-senpai, please! *Gets annoyed* Dragon Slave!" *Ohtori Academy is destroyed*

And Hikaru from Hikaru no Go, and Soi Fong from Bleach, and Rosette from Chrono Crusade, And Kris from Battle Athletes, and-- obsessive? Who, me?

She's Rosette? :0 I'll have to watch that in Japanese when I get the chance. I always watch it in English for the 20's slang.

Here's a place where you can find all of the Utena seiyuus:

Don't forget Mireille from Noir.

For all of you who are screaming, "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, TAKEHITO NOOOOOOOOOOO" the answer is because he is Koyasu-motherfucking-Takehito and he can do whatever the damn hell he wants. That's like freaking out because Ishida Akira (Athrun Zala, Gaara, Kaworu Nagisa, Cho Hakkai, etc.) was the voice for Fish Eye in the Sailor Moon anime. Wrap your heads around that one, kids.

I believe the voice actress for Utena also did Soi Fong in Bleach.

The man who voices Xellos the Mysterious Priest can do anything!

*Rewatches Sailor Moon* You're right, it is her! I haven't watched Sailor Moon in a while, but I'm surprised I didn't notice... Shiori as a kitten... That's so adorable!

Thank you for pointing that out to me. I'm glad that I finally got to hear Shiori's voice actress playing a different role.

It's all fun and games until Nanami finds her.

The poor Shiori kitten... Is Nanami mad about what happened during the movie?

It's great!  There's even one scene where Misato is being all serious and snaps, "Next!" just. like. Juri.
