Soul Eater Voices
2 months 2 weeks ago
I really enjoy Maka and Soul's voices. Actually, I really enjoy everyone's voices. This anime was done very well.
I like the voices of the characters. At first, I did not expect that Maka will have that kind of voice but it was alright. I love Death the Kidd's voice the most because it is the same voice as Zero from Vampire Knight and Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club.
I love Maka's voice so much, it's so unique and, at least in my opinion, perfect for her. I thought Soul's voice was a little too deep at the beginning, but I really like it as well by now. Overall, all of the voices are very different from what I expected, but I got used to all of them.
So far I enjoy all the voices for all the characters. I was also surprised by how deep Soul's voice was when I first heard it like many others, but I think it just adds to his "cool" theme that he aims for. I do think it is a bit too deep in contrast to how young he looks, but it doesn't bother me.
I like Soul's voice, I couldn't stand Maka's though. I imagined it would be that kind of voice, but her VA isn't very good at screaming.
So what are your opinions about Chrona's and Ragnarok's voices? I think it suits them pretty well.
I've noticed that Maka and Soul both have seiyuu that I've never heard of before; it figures that they are rookies. This only makes me more excited to take a look at this anime, though. While I have my favourite seiyuu that I know and love, it's always good to introduce some new colour to the palette! I'll post my impressions of the characters' voices as soon as I have 'em. I haven't read any of the manga, so I might be a little more open-minded about the issue.
By the way, Hakuoro's seiyuu as the Shinigami?

I've watched 2 episodes and here's what I think so far...
Chiaki Omigawa as Maka: What a strange voice. Monotonous, systematic, down-to-business. Not particularly feminine. Capable of great anger. It sounds like I'm describing Maka's character rather than her voice, so it must be a perfect fit, yet something feels strangely amiss. I don't know if I should blame it on Omigawa's acting ability, or if I simply need to get used to the sound. Time will tell, I guess.
Kouki Uchiyama as Soul: It took me ten seconds to get used to the unexpected deepness of Soul's voice. From that moment forth, I'm convinced that the voice fits the character like a glove. It's not a voice I'm particularly fond of, but then I don't particularly admire Soul either, so I have no complaints. Uchiyama doesn't sound like a rookie to me at all.
Rikiya Koyama as Shinigami-sama: I have to comment on this one. Koyama as the shinigami cracks me up. Really. If it wasn't for the prologue, I would have had trouble believing this was the same Koyama I'd heard in other shows.
