Here we discuss shows where the MC's seiyuu failed to get more roles after that show ended.
Starting with Fall 2018's prime example.
ITT: shows whose MC's seiyuu disappeared
Ryan Butler
Cooper Bell
Maybe she doesn't want to be a VA? Who are the others?
Andrew Campbell
Numakura, Uchida, and Suzaki are still getting roles. Haven't heard from Noguchi since Spyce ended. Anzai got a role this season in Bocchi, but it was a background role.
Cameron Myers
>Midriff ninjas
It should have been a success but japan fails me yet again
Caleb Gonzalez
That girl from kill me baby
Asher Johnson
The druggie one Even the band slut (minus the bassits) gets roles
Also girl in Yugioh was related in some sex cultist
Henry Price
Maybe she went to college like a good girl.
Carter Wright
Spyce deserved much better.
Adam Mitchell
Momo's VA deserved more roles. To think that her career crashed and burned after her very first main role, after all the promotions it got, is kind of sad to see.
Joshua Davis
Michael Morgan
Luke Allen
Caleb Smith
best c3
Aaron Campbell
Whatever happened to Yukki and Yuno's VAs from Mirai Nikki?
Eli Gomez
She probably didnt want to give up her virginity to fat old producers
Benjamin Nguyen
Is she still doing live action roles?
Landon Rodriguez
Isn't she in Lapis Re:LiGHTs? When is that coming out?
Thomas Johnson
Finding out that the female lead of Koi Kaze was voiced by a girl who was 16 at the time and who had never had or has had another role besides that one only added to the absolute crushing anguish that anime generates.
Gavin Richardson
Did she continue acting or did she simply vanish into thin air?
Nathaniel Hall
The latter as far as I'm aware.
Lincoln Mitchell
How did they find her in the first place?
>Finding out that the female lead of Koi Kaze was voiced by a girl who was 16 at the time and who had never had or has had another role besides that one
Also, how and when did you find out?
Brandon Turner
I want to lick Momo's armpits and navel
Mason Turner
That info is on the voice actress' MAL entry.
Caleb Smith
Have you tried checking her Japanese Wikipedia entry (if it has one)?
Dylan Rogers
>How did they find her in the first place?
Some producers have some weird connection, like how ZUN found a mangaka for his Forbidden Scrollery series, despite said artist never published any work let alone Touhou doujin,
Anthony Martinez
This cosplayer had a really nice voice and I haven't heard her ever since.
John Cox
That kansi girl from sakurasou who voiced a pony tail girl.
That kansai ben was fucking perfect.
Grayson Miller
She voiced Yurine in Jashin-chan
Jason Lopez
Oh it's true, they sound really different so I never noticed
Brandon Flores
What's so special about Momo's VA anyway? Why do people seem to care about her so much? She wasn't anyone special and neither was her show. Those Tsukikage uniforms were still a miracle of the universe though.
Asher James
That is a good idea.
ja.wikipedia.org
She actually did have another small role in anime in Boogiepop Phantom. Then there's a handful of other roles though only two were after Koi Kaze, and now nothing for 11 years.
Dominic Bailey
She might not be seriously pursuing it.
Kevin Thomas
Last I heard she was doing softcore?
Jackson Phillips
The one who got arrested for cocaine.
Henry Lopez
She's pregnant now.
Zachary Ramirez
Is she gonna make it bros?
Asher Clark
>Haven't heard from Noguchi since Spyce ended
Noguchi is still very active in the im@s scene. Plus, she's the Seiyuu for the Main Heroine in the upcoming Atelier game.
Ethan Nguyen
What about Anzai?
Jeremiah Ross
She has some bit roles in Mobage here and there and some minor 2D idolshit franchises. She didn't fall off the map completely, but she's hardly in anything relevant or of note.
Matthew Williams
Meanwhile another VA who was also debutting on DGKB show is keep getting steady on more roles.
Asher Lewis
Release the spyce was enjoyable but once it ended it faded.
Zachary Gonzalez
Why didn't she get another main role in an anime?
Austin Price
What a seductive and sultry nose for a pig nosed qt.
Blake Baker
Sure, she isn't super popular but she always nails the roles she's given. She was great as Azami in active raid and her role as Usami in Bijutsubu is actually casting perfection, there isn't a single seiyuu out there that would fit that character better than her
Hunter Diaz
Please everyone in this thread pay respects to Ichigo. While Rin went on to have a modest career with a few really good roles like Sacchan from Mitsuboshi Colors and Futaba had her career explode in popularity, Ichigo was left behind in obscurity. Having them return together in Akiba's Trip was truly a wonder to behold, and that i pray every day for studio Gonzo to give to us again. I'd watch anything with the three of them in it.
Juan Williams
;_;
John Harris
I can't keep up with seiyuu these days. It's hard to tell which ones have disappeared, which ones are literally just new, and which ones are just being kept busy/employed by some random idol franchise.
Gabriel Gutierrez
Anime MC roles always either go to:
a.) An established Seiyuu
b.) A newbie
The auditioning ground is very competitive. You're fighting against established seiyuu or agencies trying to push their newly hired talents. Once you get past the honeymoon phase where your agency is trying to push you as the newly hired talent to watch out for, it's gonna be really hard to claw your way up.
Besides, an anime role isn't exactly the most attractive role for a seiyuu nowadays. You want them roles in long-running multimedia franchises. A good chunk of anime nowadays are one-off advertisements for manga/LNs. Most of them never getting subsequent seasons. So that's a dead end. The odd original show are gambles too, since they might not make it big either.
Alternatively, she could go for the dubbing focused track of work. There are alot of Seiyuu who don't really do a lot of anime stuff, but have a huge work portfolio of dubbing stuff from overseas into Japanese. But that's not really something someone on Yea Forums would be interested in.
Jack Nguyen
Kill yourself, MKL. This is beyond pathetic.
Dylan White
Aya's carer is almost over.
That girl from kill me baby was jailed.
I don't know about the Yu-Gi-Oh one.
Logan Stewart
>tfw Maya's VA also sang Kamichu's OP
Robert Gutierrez
Wasn't that little girl friend of ZUNs wife?
Jeremiah Lee
Why does he care so much about Momo's VA? Did she do something in particular?
Noah Foster
In the JAV industry, yes.
Jaxon Smith
Aren't most of them more of theater actress rather than regular seiyuu?
Lucas Long
God I fucking loved her weird voice.
Levi Thomas
Maya's VA was the girl who sang Kamichu's OP, but yes most of them are generally theater actors apart from Mimorin.
Hudson Sanchez
He's an autist. He's also an idolfag and a former Narutard.

Jeremiah Edwards
I thought it was because of some anime convention or something?
Carter Flores
Maybe her butt hurts
Parker Harris
Didn't like virtually everyone from Munto and almost everyone from Nichijou disappear?
Samuel Turner
Hina's VA from Hinamatsuri, don't think she got another main role.
Josiah King
animenewsnetwork.com
Shiori Mutou was in Nobunagun in 2014 but since then she's only had a few minor roles. I don't understand the process of debuting in a main role and then playing extras.
William Jackson
Sebastian Gray
Poor Ringo-chan
Levi Diaz
Daily reminder that a guy that does LSD did art for a official 2hu book.
Jason Williams
/thread
Joshua Flores
It seems to be a curse. When someone's very first role is a lead, more often than not they tend to disappear afterwards.
Kayden Cooper
She doesn't count
Isaac Clark
Among New Game's main cast, only Aoba's career caught fire. Hifumi's VA has been in barely anything since.
Nolan Cooper
Aiden Carter
Who?
Tyler Fisher
>Aya's carer is almost over.
Are you retarded? She's the new voice for Mylene Jenius in Macross
Gabriel Mitchell
Who?
Ayden Stewart
The girl from Macross 7
Levi Ortiz
Literally obsessed
Jonathan Jenkins
What happened to the Nichijou VAs?
Bentley Edwards
Three flops in a row in 2018.
Nothing in 2019.
Leo Collins
Jacob Wood
Who?
Luis Sanders
what makes a seiyuu successful or not?
sure there's her whole voice quality and such, but what makes them famous isn't stuff like programs and radios? maybe even contacts with other seiyuus
what is the wild card here?
Elijah Rivera
how much she puts out
Michael Gray
-good voice
-good acting
-good looks
-good entertainer (events/radio etc.)
Most importantly:
-luck in landing a popular character in a megahit otaku franchise
Mostly, it's landing a good role that earns recognition. But it seems you really need to be the full package to make it to the top.
Liam Miller
Serval from KF
Dylan Edwards
>won't fuck the bassist
>she's now the bassist
What a twist
Ayden Myers
>someone hasn't gotten a job in less than 6 months
Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa holy shit this is big, stop the presses I can't believe this could ever happen. Damn son how could it be.
Isaiah Smith
Try looking her up and you'll know the reason why.
Dominic Torres
I wish the wind was strong enough to lift her skirt.
Mason Jones
pillow service
Evan Walker
Aiba Aina and Itou Ayala have major roles in the Bang Dream franchise which is probably as much work as a couple of shows every season. Plus there's still work for everyone through the starlight mobage
John Roberts
Whatever happened to this robo dork?
Joseph Rodriguez
More like she has too many roles.
Jeremiah Hall
Which is not healthy at all. All their work comes from Bushiroad so they are pretty much reliant on this company to get continued work. I really do think they should start diversifying their work and making other connections so that they won't just disappear once Bushiroad loses interest in them.
But this is also difficult as all their time is probably tied up with Bang Dream so they can't even work on other projects even if they wanted to.
Justin Reyes
She was top tier
Thomas Kelly
Is this what mental illness looks like? This has to be the millionth thread made about this literal who seiyuu.
Get a fucking grip MKL.
