It's not an attack, but simply an observation and a bit of exaggeration at that. Not to mention you're taking my words out of context. Also, you're preaching to the choir my friend. 
Who does what doesn't really matter to me as long as the same VA isn't voicing like 3 or 4 roles in the same series like in Naruto or Bleach, (that is the issue here not the other thing. You're jumping at shadows there without following the rest of the conversation in previous posts) only then does it annoy me slightly (it's understandable since the cast lists are immense). I like being able to pick out voices actually, but I'm pretty good at it so when I hear Johny Bosh voice like 3 people in Naruto it's kind of disorienting sometimes hearing what is in my mind as the Chounin exam finals Proctor play somebody else even if they try to alter their voice. What I was concerned with, is if Funi had a small selection of women like my ear tells me, then there might be lots of that doubling and trippling of roles going on since Claymore's major cast is like 90% women unless they get more help from ADV like they've done previously. Both studios tend to share actors once in while so it's possible. That's all I'm saying. |

The Japanese VAs, whilst mostly the same talent as other shows (i.e. not really any new names), are using significantly different voices than sual. It took me till halfway through my second viewing to notice that Clare's VA and Isako's (Amasawa Yoko, Dennou Coil) VA are one and the same (Houko Kuwashima). And I'm usually pretty good at VA bingo.

I'm happy to hear this. The final episodes themselves certainly weren't as great as the first 20 or so, but they surely did not suck. My response to GATSU's post a few pages back touched on this a little.
Ah yes, FUNi releasing Claymore in Blu-ray would be a nice incentive to finally get a Blu-ray player. I've been eying one of those for a while. |

Claymore is the kind of major-name, nearly guaranteed profit-leader that companies like FUNi acquire to allow themselves to finance titles less likely to be hits - like Black Blood Brothers, for instance. (Honestly, I don't know what they saw in that show.) Of course, FUNi has never had much of a reputation for going after niche titles, either. |

That's true, though their library of titles contains a far larger variety of genres than it used to in the old days of Funi's origin where all they liscensed were shounen so they've come a long way. Now they have mecha, sci-fi, action,horror, romance, harem, and even a little shoujo. Pretty well rounded I'd say.
