Do you ever notice how when you hear a certain anime voice actor over and over
again, you would always connect their voice to a significant past role? For
example, Wendee Lee's voice will always remind me of Faye Valentine (Cowboy
Bebop), no matter what other roles shes played in other anime titles.
Likewise with a Japanese VA, whenever I hear a character voiced by Yuki
Matsuoka, I somehow instinctivley connect that character with Osaka (Azumanga
Daioh.)
I'm not sure if this is something common for most of you.
Well, I'm an insanely huge geek when it comes to Japanese seiyuu, so I associate
almost every character I hear with at least two other characters. A lot of them
are instantly recognizable, like Morikubo Shoutarou, Ishida Akira, Minagawa
Junko and Kanna Nobutoshi, but others are harder. It's actually fun to try and
place their voices.
Yeah, it is actually kind of fun to hear someone that sounds familiar in an
anime. Though I guess you sort of need to "fine-tune" your ear to
notice a particular voice over (without even referring to the credits).

My favorite will always be Paku Romi, though.
