STUDIO - SHAFT - Yes, Sasami was a piece of shit and the Madoka films were enjoyable. (Even if the recaps were just recaps and the third one was memorable.) But hey, Nekomonogatari: Kuro and Bakemonogatari 2 were great!



Female Seiyuu

3. Makino Yui - Yamamoto Yura (Stella Women's Academy) - She barely gets any roles. Her last lead was back in 2009. That's why she's on here.

NANA ROLE OF THE YEAR - KAZENARI TSUBASA - This was another ridiculously weak year for Nana as a seiyuu. She only had one or two roles a season, and save for Tsubasa they were all very minor characters. At least she's already confirmed to be in two films in 2014.
