Most anime girl voices are horrible. There are exceptions, though, like Clannad or Full Metal Panic!

Erm... the seiyuu of Clannad have done more anime voices than most other seiyuu, so if you like those, it's quite impossible for you to find "most" anime girl voices horrible. Unless we're talking dubs.

Most seiyuu are quite good, especially when talking about a-rankers like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsZCOT_eqdA, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axnskxowsVM&t=2m20s, and the like

in battle screaming can make you stronger

really low inteligence can be a desirable trait in a friend

And the hero will always be tossed around for a while and suddenly realize that his friends believe in him and kick the badguys ass. Always.

Once you get beat around enough, your spiral energy increases. It's like in Mortal Kombat 9 where the X-ray meter goes up when you get your ass kicked.

What is "DYNAMIC ENTRY!"?

Of course, I don't know what seiyuu are. Voice artists? I was talking about the dubbers, yes. Most of the original VOs for FMP! weren't terrible.

I struggle to think of good female VOs for anime. They're rare. Hence my need to use Realtek Audio Manager.

Funny.

That's why you watch it in the original language. If you dislike an english voice actor who dubs anime, there's a good chance they'll be in like half the anime out there since they started doing it since the english voice acting market is so small, and the anime licensors only use a small fraction of that.

I think I'm confusing you. I generally find English VOs less offensive than the original high-pip-squeakery. FMP! is one of the few exceptions, where the original is just as good as, probably even better, than the dubbed product.

You said that you struggle to find good VOs (voice overs) for anime.

And as I said most female anime voices aren't "high-pip-squeakery". I can only think of two or three seiyuu who'd fit that bill. Not to mention a good many seiyuu are quite capable of making their voice sound quite different between the different roles.

Possible. That's just not my experience.

Edit: now I know I'm tired. That was supposed to be "high-pitch-squeakery"...

Possible. That's just not my experience.

I can pretty much guarantee you that I've both heard and met in-person more seiyuu than you have :shrug:

It can't be helped

What is this all of a sudden?

Haha, this.

Someone says that in every anime.

Anime taught me...that the most important things in the world are the small, everyday things that fill our lives, and that those simple little things can bring you more enjoyment and peace than the most wild and extravagent wonder.

Anime taught me...that no matter how bad the world seems to get there is always goodness in every human being.

Anime taught me...how to smile.

Embarrasing remarks are not allowed!

Watching Bleach atm (episode 330), running out of food and water.

Does this anime ever end?
Lol, I like how ramen is one of the tags.

Most of the time, the original Japanese voices don't bother me... sept Inuyasha. Nothing against the people behind the characters, but that guy's voice drove me batty. And I have to admit that dubs make me giggle a little bit, because all my little anime characters suddenly have Canadian accents.

(But the upside is that I can follow one that's dubbed while I do something else... at least for now. I hope to actually learn enough Japanese in the next couple of years to change that.)

Bokusatsu tenshi Dokuro-chan,

Oh right. Been there, [censored] to that.

That's totally supposed to say I've watched that. Yep.

It wasn't about the censored word, it was regarding the implications (and your public admission).

What's wrong with watching Dokuro-chan? Hell, not only have I watched it, I own it on DVD and have a figurine of Sabato.

Unless you're implying Lord Crow meant something else, in which case I think you're overthinking things. Lord Crow is harmless, couldn't even step on a snail.

Well if I understand what this show is (and I'm not sure I do) then it's about pedophile angels in a world of 12-year-old girls.

No no no. All the girls in the world will have their growth stunted at 12 and be forever young due to a youth serum someone makes. The series takes place before that and the angels are trying to kill the one who will, in the future, make the serum. Except one angel who protects him... lol "protects" him.

You don't understand it at all. The angels are girls, not pedos (though I guess it is possible to be a girl and a pedo, though). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vBUaGP7L3w.
