Is it me, or do all anime voices start to sound the same? Despite

>There's such voices as "the shounen protagonist voice" or "the kawaii moeblob voice" or "the seductive woman voice" or "the loli voice".

It's practically a leitmotif at this point.

Nah, it's always been that way unfortunately.

>>145081228
There are actually stereotypes for nip girls.

>It's almost like vocal archetypes have replaced vocal range in the same way character archetypes have replaced creative writing. There's no longer the character that over time learns to accept the MC, there's "the tsundere" with "the tsundere voice".
This is exactly it

Production companies have started casting people based on marketability rather than their actual voice. Idol type seiyuu are becoming so popular that they get the roles to attract viewers despite not having the range or acting skills to portray the character uniquely. Over ten years passing and no one has still managed to surpass Kugimiya at "the" tsundere roles or Sugita at sarcastic/pessimistic monologue roles, both of which became very major trends after their breakthroughs.

Luckily games aren't at that point yet (eg. casts of Persona 5, Tales of Berseria), probably because they have hundreds of times more dialogue so having incompetent seiyuu would be much more noticeable and the game studios themselves have more control over the casting because they are using their own money.

But that's wrong. I honestly cannot tell the difference between some of them. Wheover did Shana in Shakugan no Shana and whoever did Rin in Bakuon may as well be the same person to me.

It's a foreign language to most so i'm not gonna call you deaf, but you really should listen, the examples you mentioned don't sound similar at all.
