		<description>Hah, I have to say, given the pics, I was beginning to hear the article being read outloud in their respective voices lol granted I only heard them speaking in Japanese...but still, I&#039;d have to agree with you on some points especially.

Setsuna always spoke with such conviction that your heart would tremble. Although his character doesn&#039;t give much room for nearly as much variation in emotion as Tieria, he manages to keep such a focused and strong sound that you know he never looses sight of his character.

Aya Hirano&#039;s characters may not have been so different in their outlandish personalities, but I was most impressed with how she managed three voices that sound very different from each other. I don&#039;t follow voices nearly as much as others would, but up until now I didn&#039;t know Lucky Star and the MHS had anything in common aside from production companies. I&#039;d want to see a video recording of her voicing both Haruhi and Konota. I have a feeling she&#039;d move and use her entire jaw to speak with the pride Haruhi had and probably sit there all cute speaking through her lips for Konota haha

Tieria is so hawt and cool, I&#039;d go gay for him, so you can&#039;t be surprised by what you&#039;ll find on 4chan&#039;s /cm/ after the release of a new episode. The dude is awesome and the voice actor only does the very best to serve the two melodramatic extremes of numbing thoughtlessness to overbearing tearful sorrow. 

Kagami was definitely amusing. With Konota as her trigger, this voice actor was able to pull off some of the best changes in tone from casual to shock or dominance. I was always in a sense of glee whenever I heard her ranting to Konota or saying something like &quot;what do you think you&#039;re doing!?&quot;

Well written, my good dude, you&#039;ll achieve your dream of being a Seiyuu someday, and I can see your roles varying even more than Aya herself! Keep it up, I look forward to seeing your play at Setsuna, coming to a YT account near you!</description>

		<description>@Kaioshin-Sama:

I never claimed to be joking or felt the need to withhold an opinion because others might deem it &quot;a joke.&quot;

So, no. But thanks for being considerate enough to demean this article without having much to show for it other than your elitist perception.</description>

		<description>The meaning of &quot;rigged&quot; usually means that there was some sort of unseen interference that corrupted the results. I would not say that just because certain companies were not present that it was rigged. Yes, Yukari Tamura and Yui Horie are very big names indeed, but with all events, there are names that are not recognized but should not be forgotten or belittled. Those two are certainly in that category.

As for Aya Hirano being the &quot;best,&quot; considering that this is an annual event, there is a chance that the standards in place would be judgments according to roles within that year -- length of time in the spotlight would be irrelevant -- and among fandom. Why do I think this? The event was held in Akihabara. No one can deny that 2007 was a big year for Aya Hirano in terms of the impression left on fans by her roles as Konata and Misa. Thus, given the possible judgments in place, I see nothing &quot;rigged&quot; about her receiving the award. Of course, I wasn&#039;t a judge, so that is just my honest opinion.

We have differing opinions on her voice acting, which is completely reasonable. It&#039;s good to know that you aren&#039;t one to just go with the flow of fandom and have real self-supporting opinions.</description>

		<description>I say it&#039;s rigged because only certain people of certain companies were there. Well known voices who have been in the industry weren&#039;t even recognized like Yukari Tamura or Yui Horie. 

Aya Hirano doesn&#039;t deserve the award she got. Maybe if it was like a raising star kind of thing but seriously, best? No way. She hasn&#039;t been around long enough and honestly, I&#039;ve seen 4 shows with her as a lead voice and she didn&#039;t really impress me or prove to me how versatile she is. She&#039;s just very generic.</description>
