English, Japanese, Spanish - whatever. Come here and list the V As you love or hate.

Now me, I'm extremely defensive about the English dubs of anime I like. Due to my eyesight, watching an anime subtitled just isn't really practical for me. it would totally sap any enjoyment I could get out of the show. And so, unless I learn to speak Japanese, I'll be watching dubs until I die.

That being said, a couple English V As I love which a lot of people seem to hate:

Johnny Yong Bosch. His Ichigo can go jump off a cliff for all I care. This is the guy who voiced Vash, my all-time favorite anime protagonist. I also liked him for Sasori in Naruto Shippuden.

Mona Marshall. Jesu seems to love her(because of that "Izzy" character from Digimon i take it? I never watched Digimon) but man does she have some very passionate detractors in one of the fandoms I'm a part of. I loved her as Wolfram in Kyo Kara Maoh even if a lot of my fellows do not.

Stephanie Nadolny. I mainly only know her as Gohan/Goku. I can tell you that not many die-hard DBZ fans mourned her not returning to voice Gohan in Kai. And I will admit that her raspy Gohan wasn't really that good... I like her for Kid Goku in DB. She made me fall in love with little idiot.

Now for V As who aren't so divisive:

Paul Dobson. He's Naraku. He has by far my favorite villain voice in any anime ever.

Damaeon Clarke. Okay, maybe he can tie Mr. Dobson. As both Perfect Cel and Younger Toguro, he is the man.

Wendy Powell. As the voice of Envy, I will always adore her.

Mary-Elizabeth Mc Glynn. I became a fan of hers thanks to Nuriko in Fushigi Yuugi. I then became an even bigger fan of hers when I played some Silent Hill.

...and I don't really hate any V As.

My favorite Japanese VA is Mamoru Miyano. He really puts his all into every role, and he's absolutely a great actor. Even if something does have a great dub, I'll watch the sub for him, because I know he'll make it worth it.

Nakata Joji is my favorite male VA and either Asakawa Yuu or Kawashima Rino/Kei Misuzawa is my favorite female VA.

I cannot stand Mai Nakahara's voice.

Thankfully I don't hear him in much, but I don't like Kenjiro Tsuda, the master of Dull Surprise.

On the positive side I have to tip my hat to Hiroshi Kamiya because the man has some great range voicing everything from sarcastic leads to stoics to insidious manipulators to this guy.

On the English side of things I think Patrick Seitz, Kari Wahlgren, DC Douglas, Bryan Massey, and Paul Dobsen are my favorite voice actors.

Lessee...

I've grown fond of Cassandra Lee and Cristina Vee. Johnny Yong Bosch is pretty great, especially when he goes full ham.

I also like Tara Platt, too, but for... slightly... different reasons.

Oh, I almost forgot Mike Pollock. Dude's a beast.

Like Nikkolas, I don't really dislike any VAs. Also like Nikkolas, I stick to dubs.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."

I love Kana Hanazawa's voice. Seriously. There was even a series of five-minute shorts that I watched simply because she was in it.

My favorite VA would be Miyuki Sawashiro.

I... don't really keep track of things I don't like.
