LINA INVERSE (a'la CYNTHIA MARTINEZ)

(Yeah, I know this pic isn't from any of the ADV Slayers releases, but it DOES have Naga in it just like the OVA's, and Ms. Martinez was in all of those)

They both fail, Megumi was the only good Lina voice.

Lisa Ortiz is the better in my opinion. she sounds really cute and brings a nice sence of strength to the charactor.

Hayashibara Megumi is the only voice for Lina. Anyone else is trash compared to Megumi-san!

Megumi is the only one. Anyone else is inferior.

please, most of you people couldn't tell if a voice was good or not, you just say hashibara sama because you heard her first. Lisa Ortiz was very good too. I shutter to hear the next voice cast that does it when they re-release it though.

i watched the dub long before i watched subs, lisa ortiz is a decent American va, but all her characters sound the same. i can easily point out who she is in any random episode of pokemon, yugioh gx, or whatever shitty anime she's currently working for.

Lisa had a very Lina-ish voice, but I wish she showed a bit more variety in the emotions she used while speaking. She sounded almost the same throughout most of the series.

That's why, given a choice between the two, I'd choose Cynthia Martinez. In a way, I think she sounds the way Megumi-san would if she did Lina in English. I like the spazzy quality Ms Martinez brings to the role. It fits the hotheaded little Miss Inverse to a T.

Yes, I DID hear Megumi-san do her lines. I've heard all my OVA's in both English and Japanese, and I have the video of the mirror, mirror episode, where Naga and Lina get cloned by the wizard Ragan's (or Lagan's) mirror.

Jumping on the Megumi bandwagon here. The only way to enjoy slayers. Discussion over.

Lisa Ortiz is the only way to go. Whenever I hear Megumi's voice I can't help but to hear that rat-tailed shemale slut known as Ranma 2.

Angry anon is ANGRY! >:O I will agree that Ranma is a punkass 3/4 of the time though. Ryouga is at least the more honest one. He's an asshole from time to time, so meh...

Anyway, I like Megumi Hayashibara's voice in every role I've heard. I dunno why, exactly, but I do.

Hayashibara Megumi is one of the best seiyu out there! She's been in many, many, many anime.
Some of her voice roles:
Faye Valentine, Ayamami Rei, Ikari Yui, Berserk EVA Unit 01, PenPen, Urashima Haruka, Musashi(Jessie), Lime, Amano Ai, etc...
She owns. Enough said.

Hey, this is weird. I could've sworn this was /e/, but I can't find any ecchi in this thread; all I'm seeing is a bunch of faggots arguing over voice actors.

Megumi Hayashibara was in like every anime made in the 1990s. She got kind of boring to hear constantly after a while. Not that she's a bad actress, but whether you realize it or not with only a few exceptions she was playing almost the same roles (hyperactive girls who yell a lot) the whole time.

I thought Lisa Ortiz did a fine job. The problem was Software Sculptors' shitty translation job that handcuffed them literally to the Japanese script to the point of awkwardness, THEN for whatever reason whenever one of the signature jokes came along, they would then change the joke to something different, and it got frustrating when comparing it to the subtitled version because it was sucking out everything that was truly memorably funny. This is completely 180 degrees opposite from what a GOOD translation does, and I've always felt ADV had most of the better scriptwriters, their dubs' dialogue always sound more natural and Cynthia Martinez definitely benefitted from that treatment. She just sounds too NICE to play Lina though, she can't do the greedy mean-spirited part of Lina's personality.

Well, thats about it... Unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be too much Slayers art out there on the web.

As far as the VA's are concerned, Megumi aside, I prefer Martinez.
