* '''[[Janyse Jaud]]'''
** I was recently on a message board talking about Lady Frenzy, a character from the French animated series ''Botsmaster'', who has a sexy voice. I posted a link to an episode [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNOd7GHeSkg like so], and another poster remarked "That's Kagura from ''[[Inuyasha]]''!" Indeed, as anyone who has seen the dubs for a number of anime series can attest, Janyse Jaud tends to play bombshells, especially in anime based on [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s manga. See also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVaW_JxDbnU Hinako Ninomiya] in ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' and [[Bottle Fairy]] Akemi Roppongi in ''[[Maison Ikkoku]]''.
** Jarring... A [[My Little Pony|pony that loves balloons]] is actually evil, only a few inches tall, and [[Strawberry Shortcake|owns a store in Berry Bitty City]]. All, well, more reasons to hate the 2009 reincarnation I suppose. {{spoiler|For those who still didn't get it, she is Pinkie Pie in the G3 [[My Little Pony]] series and Orange Blossom in the 2009 [[Strawberry Shortcake]] relaunch.}}
 
Line 170:
 
* '''[[David Kaye]]'''
** ''[[Transformers Animated]]'' Optimus Prime is a really odd one. His best known role before that was ''[[Beast Wars]]'' Megatron. Cue the [[Verbal Tic|"yesss..."]] He's also the voice on the Enzyte commercials, [[Mega Man NT Warrior|Protoman.EXE]], and even has the same general voice tone as [[Ranma One Half½|Soun Tendo]].
** "Wait, why is Optimus Prime trying to sell me beer?"
*** And if none of those ring a bell, how about [[Inuyasha|Sesshoumaru]] or [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Treize Khushrenada]] or [[Broken Saints|Lear Dunham]]? David Kaye's voice credits go on and on.
Line 207:
 
* '''[[Mami Kingetsu]]'''
** It feels really strange to hear [[Yume De Aetara|Nagisa Shiozaki]] and [[Princess Nine|Izumi Himuro]] with the same voice as [[Tokimeki Memorial|Shiori Fujisaki]]. Even more creepy, is that [[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Alice]] sounds like what the Superstar of Kirameki High would be [[Face Heel Turn|if she turned evil]].
 
* '''Eri Kitamura'''
Line 340:
** You can hear [[Lucky Star|Konata]] in [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] when Haruhi is mad or snarky. (Reverse, not so much). At one point, Konata cosplays as Haruhi, and even DOES THE VOICE!
** Wendee Lee also voices Xing Cai from ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' and Rozalin from ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'', both with her signature Haruhi voice.
** 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 Arms]]: Twilight Venom''.
Line 421:
** This Troper found it amusing that while [[Fate/stay night|Issei]] sounds nothing like [[Bleach|Kon]], Mitsuaki Madono ''does'' use practically the same voice for Kon's [[Image Song]].
*** He also sounds exactly the same for [[Busou Renkin|Papillon]]. Characters could not be more different.
** Strangely enough, I was surprised when I found out that Mitsuaki Madono played Prince Toma in the second ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'' movie, and it was even stranger that when I found out Allesandro Juliani (Prince Toma's dub VA) played L in ''[[Death Note]]''
 
* '''Mako'''
Line 588:
** 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 From the Scrappy Heap|rescue someone from the Scrappy heap!]]
** Outside of fighting games, he also voices [[Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War|Albert Genette]] and [[Star Ocean: theThe Last Hope|Edge Maverick]]. Both with a similar-sounding opening narration, too!
 
* '''Don Messick'''
Line 765:
** [[Star Trek|Spock]] and [[Transformers|Galvatron]] have more than [[Back From the Dead|resurrection]] in common. They're both voiced by Leonard Nimoy. Possibly the most diametrically opposed characters ever played by the same guy.
** 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]]
** As soon as [[Transformers Film Series|Sentinel Prime]] speaks, one can't help but think "Crap, it's[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep|Master Xehanort]]!" This, and Wheelie seeing the [[Star Trek]] episode "where Spock goes nuts", {{spoiler|foreshadows Sentinel's [[Face Heel Turn]]}}.
