Soul Eater Voices

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.

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?

So what are your opinions about Chrona's and Ragnarok's voices? I think it suits them pretty well.

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 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 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.

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 really enjoy Maka and Soul's voices. Actually, I really enjoy everyone's voices. This anime was done very well.

My god, I can't believe you guys don't like the VA parings for Maka and Soul lol. i guess it may be the fact that this is my favorite anime currently, but i think the graphics and the voice acting are great. Despite the fact that Maka's seiyu is a newbie, I think her voice is really cute and not monotonous at all. Soul;s voice makes him sound cooler so i guess that is part of the whole plan. Lol, just because its not typical doesn't mean it isn't awesome. I mean at least the boy characters' seiyu are well...boys. Lol!

Hmm, i kinda disliked Maka's voice in the first but the more she talked just liked she sounds cool to me, that's what i think. . . Soul's voice sounds also good on me Black star's is also nice, but overall, I really liked the Soul Eater, mostly in the first episode, when she fought with a scythe, she looked so cool . . . Don't know any bad comments on that series, it even is funny in the episode of Death kid, when he was saying something about the symmetry. . .

There's a lot of people not impressed with Maka's voice. Yes, the VA is a rookie but I really love it to be honest. Sounds really unique.

Souls is so deep, and great. Not a problem with his either.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about Maka's and Soul's voices but I do know I love Death the Kid's voice. I think it fits him very well. ^^ Also, I wasn't expecting Shinigami-sama's voice to be so... silly sounding. But it suits him.

I do agree that Maka's voice does sound monotonous, but it sorta grew on me as I heard her speak more. Her voice is nice, but I think her acting could've been better. And Soul's voice is a bit too deep

Black Star's voice is PERFECT.

On the topic of Soul Eater, when Black Star pointed to the sun, the line he was speaking was a obvious reference to Kamen Rider Strongest.

Soul's voice is really unfit for him. I thought it will be more like a "rebel" voice. His current one is more like an old 40's guy. Maka's okay and Tsubaki's perfect. Black Star and Death-the-Kid's are kinda....(no suitable comment)

Agree on Tsubaki, her voice was perfect. Death the Kid's voice gave me a good laugh with his comedy. Didn't think I would be hearing the voice of Light from Death Note or Zero from Vampire Knight whining over symmetry lol
