Line 8:
* '''[[Asami Imai]]'''
** Will forever be [[The Idolmaster (video game)|Chihaya Kisaragi]], her most popular character. It doesn't help that she has a very distinctive singing voice and did a lot of singing for that part: any time she sings a song, this trope is very likely to come into effect.
*** I suppose she broke away from it. I mean, look at [[
*** [[Steins;Gate|Kurisu Makise]] is now her role that's competing with Chihaya as Imagine's best known.
* '''[[Yuka Imai]]'''
** Yuka Imai, who was also [[Now and Then, Here and There|Nabuca]], [[Digimon Tamers|Renamon]], [[Fruits Basket|Arisa]], [[Revolutionary Girl Utena|Wakaba]], [[Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash Star|Kaoru]], [[Tales of Destiny|Rutee Katrea]], [[Mitsumete Knight|Priscilla Dolphan]], and [[Kisetsu o Dakishimete|Mayu]].
* '''[[Tetsu Inada]]'''
** Holy crap, <s>Elzam von Branstein</s> [[Super Robot Wars|Ratsel Feinschmeker]] is [[Turn A Gundam
*** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DX_IaXs5YQ UNIVEEEEEEEEEEERSE!]
** There's a reason why we have the term of Inada Furry. Look at [[Bleach|Komamura Sajin]] or [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Doggie Kruger]]
Line 56:
* '''[[Samuel L. Jackson]]'''
** I always though [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|Officer Tenpenny's]] voice sounded familiar (Okay, I did not check the instruction booklet), until the very last mission when he calls you a "**** ******* ************ "....There it hit me in the face: [[Samuel L. Jackson]]!
** [[The Incredibles|HONEY!? WHERE IS MY SUPERSUIT!?]]
** He was "Gin" Rummy on the ''[[The Boondocks]]'', a white gangsta.
Line 156:
* '''David Kaufman'''
** [[Tropers/The Toon Geekette|This troper]] watched ''[[Freakazoid!]]'' for the first time since she was a youngster, and the minute Dexter Douglas first spoke, she thought ''"[[Danny Phantom]]?!"'' Apparently, David Kaufman must like voicing losers who turn into superheroes.
** Don't forget Jimmy Olson from ''[[Superman: The Animated Series|Superman the Animated Series]]''.
** This troper, in addition to hearing Danny in ''[[Freakazoid!]]'', also can't help but hear him instead of [[The Buzz on Maggie|Aldrin]] or Kaufman's narration during several commercials. Perhaps Danny's overshadowed all these people.
** It had a reverse effect on this troper- He heard Danny and thought "[[Back to The Future (cartoon)|Marty?!]]"
* '''[[Tomoko Kawakami]]'''
** You can easily tell that [[Kanon|Sayuri]] and [[AIR|Misuzu]] have the same seiyuu, because Misuzu's "Nihaha[[" sounds exactly like Sayuri's "Ahahaha]]"
** Rounding off [[Key Visual Arts]], [[Tomoko Kawakami]] also voices the Girl in the Illusionary World in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''.
** [[Gungrave|Mika!]] "Dr. Tokioka told me...about you. That you're a friend of my mother."
** Wait, why does this destructive little girl sound familiar? (checks seiyuu) ...[[Kanon|Sayuri]] = [[Elfen Lied|Ma]][[Person of Mass Destruction|ri]][[Tyke Bomb|ko]]?!
Line 177:
* '''Michael Keaton'''
** ''[[Batman]]'' voicing the rival car in ''[[Cars]]'' and Ken in ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3''.
* '''Brandon Keener'''
Line 246:
** Just from [[Gundam]]:
*** [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Zechs Merquise]]
*** [[Turn A Gundam
*** [[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Mu La Flaga]]
** [[Overman King Gainer|Asuham Boone]]
Line 342:
** Once you've heard one role by Wendee Lee, it's insanely easy to pick out the rest. Faye Valentine in ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'', Yui in ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'', Tina Foster in [[Ai Yori Aoshi]], Urd in ''[[Ah! My Goddess|Adventures of the Mini-Goddesses]]'', Nel Zelpher in ''[[Star Ocean: Till the End of Time]]'', Aribeth in [[Neverwinter Nights]], ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]]''...the list goes on and on.
** Wendee voices Selphie from ''[[Rune Factory]]''.
** I recognized her as Loretta Oratorio in ''[[Wild
** And she's teamed up with [[Outlaw Star|Jim Hawking]].
** [[Retroactive Recognition]]: [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Scorpina]] sometimes sounded a bit like Haruhi.
Line 439:
* '''[[Jason Marsden]]'''
** Jason Marsden gets around a lot. Haku in ''[[Spirited Away]]'', Kovu in the second ''[[Lion King]]'', Chase Young in ''[[Xiaolin Showdown]]''. Also Tino from ''[[The Weekenders]]'', Richie from ''[[Static Shock]]'', Chester and Gary from ''[[The Fairly
** Maybe that's why I get nervous every time I see him as Jaime Reyes' buddy Paco. As deep as ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' digs, I'm nervous that Vibe is gonna show up some episode...
** Adding to the list: a young Clark Kent (as well as Snapper Carr, another, unrelated reporter) in the [[DCAU]] and the annoying Dustil "Carth's Son" Onasi (and gang leader Brejik too) in ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]].''
Line 500:
* '''James McCaffrey'''
** [[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]] and [[Alone in
* '''[[Michael McConnohie]]'''
Line 515:
* '''[[Norm MacDonald]]'''
** Years ago, I watched an ep of something on [[YouTube]] where Norm MacDonald played some kind of psychologist that was talking to a kid that believed he was [[Pokémon (anime)|Ash Ketchum]]. Then I watched ''[[The Fairly
** He's also Death on ''[[Family Guy]]''.
Line 536:
** ''[[Supreme Commander]]'' had a female commander voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who also does Maj. Kusanagi in ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''.
** The icing on the cake? Batou is her second-in-command.
** She also voices Estelle Oratorio, elder sister of [[Wendee Lee|Loretta]], on episode 9 of ''[[Wild
** If you'd like to hear her sing she's done numerous songs for the ''[[Silent Hill]]'' games.
* '''Julia McIlvaine'''
** While not a profilific voice actress, this troper was watching ''[[MAD]]'' for the first time, and was thinking...''[[
* '''Ellen McLain'''
Line 580:
*** Again using his Kevin French voice.
** He played the actor playing Sokka in "The Ember Island Players", with a voice almost identical to the one he uses for Kevin French from ''[[Mission Hill]]''
** This Troper knew all along that it had to be [[A Pup Named Scooby
** He plays Egon Stetmann in ''[[
** He also played King in the Wild Cards episode of the Justice League. Given that this is in the same universe as the Teen Titans it was awkward to hear Robins voice coming out of a villain.
** On top of that he did extra voices in a ton of video games including FFXII in which he gave one bystander the voice of Robin.
Line 587:
* '''Matthew Mercer'''
** Matthew Mercer? Let's see...[[Mortal Kombat|Kurtis Stryker]], [[Fist of the North Star|Rei]], [[Street Fighter|Fei-Long]], [[Sengoku Basara|Keiji Maeda]], [[No More Heroes|Skelter Helter]]...
*** And now? [[Mortal Kombat 9|Kurtis Stryker]]. Way to go to [[Rescued
** Outside of fighting games, he also voices [[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War|Albert Genette]] and [[Star Ocean: The Last Hope|Edge Maverick]]. Both with a similar-sounding opening narration, too!
Line 637:
* '''[[Candi Milo]]'''
** She's done characters from [[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends|Coco]] all the way to [[Dexter's Laboratory|Dexter]].
** What would [[My Life as a Teenage Robot|Tuck]] sound like with a Bronx accent? That's [[
** [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|Shantotto. OHOHOHOHO!!!]]
Line 692:
* '''Ricardo Montalban'''
** And now a moment of silence for Ricardo Montalban, aka [[Freakazoid!|Gutierrez]] and [[Kim Possible|Señor Senior, Sr.]] RIP.
** A very brave cow in ''[[Family Guy]]''.
** I scared the crap out of my little sister while she was watching Kim Possible by yelling KHAAAAAAAN! at the screen when I heard Señor Senior, Sr. speak.
Line 734:
* '''[[Mai Nakahara]]'''
** [[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'s big sister sounds awfully familiar in those flashbacks of hers... wait a minute, [[Lyrical Nanoha|Teana]]? Is that you?
** When not affected by {{spoiler|Hinamizawa Syndrome}} and when not [[I'm Taking Her Home with Me|taking things/Rika home]], [[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni|Rena Ryuugu]] sounds ''exactly'' like [[Clannad (visual novel)||Nagisa Furukawa]]. [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] is now kept awake at night because she always imagines Rena taking the Big Dango Family home, or conversely, Nagisa having one too many bad days and suddenly screaming "USO DA!"
* '''Yuichi Nakamura'''
** This editor's fiancee has a massive fangirl crush on [[Shugo Chara|Tsukiyomi Ikuto]]. This editor knows his voice actor best as being [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Graham Acre]]. The looks he gets from his fiancee when he refers to Ikuto as [[Memetic Mutation|Tsukiyomi HOWWAAAARRRD MAAASOOOOON Ikuto]] are increasingly hilarious.
** Kafuka and Fuko DO technically share eccentric traits. Well, it took this troper to realize until certain episodes involving baseball and random [[Ho Yay]] jokes in ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' that Tomoya (the male lead) is Tayaka Abe from ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]''. Although not to the point of practically having [[Expy]] qualities, the two characters share the same sarcasm and wittiness traits as well. Does Yuichi Nakamura ever change his voice?
** What about someone as [[Hot-Blooded]] as [[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Graham "TODAY I SURPASS THE ASHURA!!!" Aker]]?
** Try someone as EVIL as [[
* '''Ryusei Nakao'''
Line 763:
** In the fourth installment of the ''Civilization'' series, a quote is read to you whenever you have finished researching a technology... by [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]].
*** That isn't his first time doing voices in video games though. Remember ''Seaman'' for the [[Sega Dreamcast]]? Yep, he was the strange fish AND the narrator.
** [[Star Trek|Spock]] and [[Transformers|Galvatron]] have more than [[Back
** And while watching ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'', one can't help but notice the King of Atlantis sounds an awful lot like [[Star Trek|Spock...]]
** It seems that a character in the upcoming American release of ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' will be voiced by none other than [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]], yes THAT [[Star Trek|Mr. Spock]]
Line 769:
* '''Ai Nonaka'''
** When [[Tropers/Shay Guy|this troper]] first started watching [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]], he almost immediately thought "Holy crap, it's [[Clannad (visual novel)||Fuko]]!"
** She also plays [[Kamichu!|Sageusa Miko]]. This troper was like "So when is she gonna start calling Yurie Pink Supervisor?"
** It took [[DKN 117|this troper]] less than three seconds after hearing [[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Kafuka]] start talking to think "[[Mahou Sensei Negima|Konoka-chan]]!". The fact that [[Yuu Kobayashi|Setsuna]] is in this show too makes it moreso.
Line 782:
* '''[[Mamiko Noto]]'''
** [[Mapi-chan|This troper]] did a double take when she watched ''[[Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu]]'' and realized that [[Clannad (visual novel)||Kotomi]] was an [[Otaku]]. The same thing happened in ''[[Girls Bravo]]'', crossdressing voice notwithstanding.
** Also, [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Nodoka]] playing [[Witchblade (anime)|Masane]]. Quite the transition.
** And now she also plays a ghost from a horror film... wait, never mind, it's just [[Kimi ni Todoke|Sawako]]. Still, the combination is remarkably effective...
Line 802:
** He is also Kenzo Tenma in the English dub of ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]''. [[This Troper]] did a double take when she realized that Tenma is voiced by the same person who did [[Code Geass|Lloyd Asplund]].
** It's quite odd hearing an effeminate scientist, [[Code Geass|Lloyd Asplund]] as the evil pope, Sanctus in ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4''.
** And now apparently [[Fate/stay night|Archer]] has been reborn as a [[
** And before that, he was [[Tokugawa Ieyasu|Tokugawa]] [[Sengoku Basara|Ieyasu]], in the most GAR form available.
** He's Spanish fighter Miguel Caballero Rojo in ''[[Tekken]] 6''.
Line 840:
* '''Tony Oliver'''
** The narrator from ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'' and {{spoiler|Old Simon}} is [[Fate/stay night|Lancer]].
** For video game dubbies, one might also recognize his [[Large Ham|hammy]] [[Dynasty Warriors|Ma Chao]] voice...as [[
** Not to mention the titular character of ''[[Lupin III]]'' and Rick from ''Macross''
Line 904:
** And [[American Dad|one of Steve Smith's potential love interests]].
** And though some would say she's more of a fox, [[Alpha and Omega|a wolf]].
** And for [[Disney]] (okay, and [[Pixar]]) she's played [[A Bug's Life|a bug]], [[Dinosaur|a dinosaur]], and (in a case of [[Playing Against Type]] even by cartoon standards) [[Fillmore!|a Japanese girl]].
* '''[[Mike Patton]]'''
Line 933:
*** And [[Nana|Nana Oosaki]].
*** And [[Higepiyo]].
*** And [[Turn A Gundam
*** Not to mention [[Kaiba|Popo]] and [[Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok|Heimdall]].
*** More recently, Zoroark from ''[[Pokémon: Zoroark: Master of Illusions|Pokémon Zoroark Master of Illusions]]''. In Japanese AND English.
Line 993:
** [[Gurren Lagann|Lord Genome]] sounds so much like [[Code Geass|Diethard Ried]] it's ''scary''. He also sounds like [[Eureka Seven|Norb]], which is just slightly less weird.
** He also played Reeve Trusti who helps the player party in ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'' , as well as playing a prominent role in it's video game sequel ''[[Dirge of Cerberus]]''. Among other roles, he was a [[Ace Combat|Belkan Ace Pilot]], a [[Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo|Jelly Man]], the First Hokage in ''Naruto'' and the leader of [[Rainbow Six|a counterterrorism special forces group]].
** Papa [[Nie R]] must have a [[
** [[Dynasty Warriors|"Can't anyone provide me with a decent challenge!?"]]
** This troper will never forget watching [[Akira]] after a [[
* '''[[Derek Stephen Prince]]'''
Line 1,014:
* '''John Ratzenberger'''
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the movie ''[[Cars]]'', where one of the characters, played by John Ratzenberger (Cliff Clavin on ''Cheers''), is watching a bunch of movies and complains that the same guy is doing all the voices, and it's because he's the one who did those characters in those movies. (P.T. Flea in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]'', Ham from ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', and the Abominable Snowman from ''[[Monsters, Inc.]].'')
** He's [[The Incredibles|the Underminer]]! NOTHING is beneath him!
** It's become rather a [[Running Gag]] at [[Pixar]] for Ratzenberger to be a voice in all their films. He's their "good luck charm". Because it's ''Pixar'', the joke [[Overly Long Gag|never gets old]].
Line 1,073:
** Speaking of ''[[King of the Hill]]'', this troper kept expecting King Philip (from the episode "Joust Like A Woman") to address Hank as "[[Harry Potter (film)|Mister Potter]]".
** No mention of [[Help! I'm a Fish|Joe]]? This troper remembers the ads for the movie kept referring to both Alan Rickman and Terry Jones.
** There's an icon floating around [[
** Don't forget Alexander aka Dr. Lazarus in ''[[Galaxy Quest]]''.
** And this troper could never take the movie version of ''[[Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (film)|Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street]]'' seriously, since not only did Rickman use the same voice for Judge Turpin that he did for Snape, but Timothy Spall played opposite him as Beadle Bamford, who is basically Turpin's [[Harry Potter|Wormtail]]. [[Helena Bonham Carter]] didn't help things either.
* '''Don Rickles'''
** If you visit ''The Enchanted Tiki Room: Under New Management'' at [[Disney Theme Parks|Disney World]], you'll be able to hear [[Toy Story (franchise)||Mr. Potato Head]] get into a fight with [[The Simpsons (animation)|Troy McClure]]
* '''[[Sam Riegel]]'''
Line 1,120:
** Michelle Ruff, best known as [[Code Geass|Euphemia Li Britannia]], [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Yoko]], [[Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team|Kiki]], [[Disgaea|Etna]], [[Lucky Star|Tsukasa]], [[Lucky Star|Minami]], [[Digimon Frontier|Izumi]], [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Yuki Nagato]], and [[Bleach|Rukia]].
** Hey! [[Disgaea|Etna]] sounds a lot like [[Persona 3 Yukari|Takeba]]!
** Whoa, [[Ai Yori Aoshi|Aoi Sakuraba]] is the [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] [[Wild
*** Ruff shares another series with an ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' voice actor. Dave Lelyveld (Whittenburg) played Kaoru Hanabishi and plays Commander Irving Vold Valeria on ''[[Wild
** Interestingly, she's also the mercenary Carmen 99 in ''[[Gun X Sword]]''. You can't say it's [[Playing Against Type]], since Michelle's characters vary so much.
** Cream the Rabbit from ''[[Sonic Riders|Sonic Free Riders]]'' and ''[[Sonic Generations]]'' sounds like Tsukasa.
