KanColle - Voice Actor Appreciation & Discussion

[Klashikari]

The purpose of this thread is to discuss, critique and idolize the Voice Actor cast of Kantai Collection -KanColle-. Please remember that the discussion should center on their performances as professional voice actors and not on the show content (which can be discussed in the various Episode threads). Please remember this simple rule when critiquing a VA's performance or reading another forum member's critique:

• Don't take it personally.
  In other words, you’re free to disagree with another person’s opinion, but don’t flame them if they offer a well written and well thought out analysis that differs from your own opinion. Keep it civil.
  
  
• Voice Actors are human.
  Yes, it’s true. They’re human. Therefore, don’t just indiscriminately rip them and their work apart as if they’re inorganic objects. You don’t have to praise them non-stop, but be thoughtful in your criticism.

This thread might duplicate some discussion in the Episode threads, but it can also serve to demystify various VA roles, disseminate VA information (VA Bios, VA photos, etc) and provide cast information of various types as well as discussion about performances.

[frivolity]

Watching this series is analogous to seeing my favourite VA getting a second -kai transformation after her first breakout role as Merry.

[LoweGear]

No mention of Nonna (Girls Und Panzer) among Uesaka Sumire's roles?

[Klashikari]

I completely missed it for some reason, updating.

For Hidaka Rina, kindly add Aihara Enju of Black Bullet, even though the series maybe was underappreciated. Please and thank you~

*bows down*

It always amazes me when voice actors do this kind of song as it just shows how amazing her range of voices are. Each character has such a distinct voice and you can pick out their lines in the song which is great. It makes you appreitate them and their work a lot more <3
