Not many surprises here. lol
Pretty much just down the list of the most prolific ones out there. Can't say I mind though. Love all of these ladies. I am slightly surprised Ogura is on there, but I hope to see her in more stuff. I know she has at least one show this season. <3

Also, you know what's kind of really nice? Hanazawa hasn't appeared to have dropped in popularity at all after publicly announcing her relationship. That should be how it always is, but it's nice to see in this industry regardless.

Meanwhile other seiyuu's consider Miyuki Sawashiro to be the best female seiyuu (#4 overall) after Masako Nozawa (#2 overall behind Kouichi Yamadera).

HanaKana is definitely my favorite, but I wouldn't say she is the best. In the past I'd probably say Saori Hayami, but I think I'll go with Aoi Yuuki for that recently, though all of them do good work. I think Inori Minase was definitely buoyed by voicing the most popular female character of last year, not that she doesn't do good work, generally or in that role.

Just about all my favorites are listed, Rie Takahashi, HanaKana, Inori Minase, Saori Hayami, and Miyuki Sawashiro. Glad Horie Yui is still recognized, even though she's #20, just glad she's still around.

That's a very solid top 5.

I agree with this poll since it clearly indicates popularity, but the best voice actress is Hayashibara Megumi, no doubt. Everyone in the list pales to her in comparison, not even close.

As exepted, my favoutite female seiyuu is not even in the list. She is not expecially popular despite having hifgh versitality and great singing voice.

Overall a decent list though predictable one.

I really hope Risa Taneda will return to voice acting soon and regain her popularity.

No Aki Toyosaki or Mamiko Noto? List is bad lololol. Seriously though, it's a real shame a lot of the truly diverse and amazing seiyuu are getting pushed off these lists purely because they're older and get less roles.

Hanazawa voiced Sophie in Tales of Graces. Sophie's power level is over 90 quadrillion. All arguments are rendered invalid. XD

I don't take fan polls seriously unless there are over 10,000 votes.

I couldn't agree more. Especially Aki Toyosaki. I want to see her in more stuff. Can anyone tell me who else might be more deserving to be on this list. For example: Kanae Ito, Yoko Hikasa or Aya Hirano should have made it on the list and not actresses who are only beginning to star in mainstream anime series.

It's good that Kana Hanazawa is No.1 on this list. I love seeing her play her characters, especially Mikan on To Love-Ru.

My fav is Kayano Ai, Hayami Saori and Ayane Sakura. Too bad Inoue Kikoku is not in list.
