Does Subaru voice sounds like a girl?

Does Subaru voice sounds like a girl to you?

Not like a girl.

It is true that the voice actor is a girl.

 

[Rendan]

Most of the boys in the Rockman.EXE and Ryuusei no Rockman anime are played by girls. Netto and Rockman.EXE were both voice-acted by girls as well as Subaru.

Subaru has his moments when he does sound like a girl, but most of the time it is hard to tell. I'm sure if I've spoken to Japanese boys his age I would notice it the same way that you can tell Geo (from the Starforce dub) isn't played by a 11-year-old male.

10 year old male is more accurate.

 

[Rocknote]

10 year old male is more accurate.

How did you know?

 

[StelarSX]

I have Subaru's birth certificate Well it's a copy.

More like it's because there's hints. For example they're in elementary school, around the 5th grade, so around 10 or 11 years old.
Subaru does sound like a girl sometimes, but that might be either because of his voice actor, or because they have to try to make him sound like a normal 10 year old boy.
(Tsukasa on the other hand, is a different story. But let's not get off topic.)

I don't think he sounds like a girl...but of course, I'm used to hearing his voice actress in another anime where she also plays a guy, but he sounds like a girl (And has several feminine features), so I'm guessing it's intentional, but that's probably why he sounds like a guy no matter what for me XD

 

[Rocknote]

In some episode I found that he sounds like a girl. Especially the second episode. Too obviously.

 

[AoBfrost]

Most animes have younger boys played by grown woman/girls...why? Because Boys at the age arent mature enough to sit in a studio for hours recording lines. And grown woman sound very similar to younger boys.

 

[PrimoPiccolo]

Doesn't sound like as much of a girl as Ikuto from Savers does, but you can tell.

 

[Trivial]

Girl? Yes,
Since his seiyuu is a girl
But Fuyura also voices a male character in Monster Princess

 

[Dengar]

It's very normal for women to play boy's roles. It sounds a lot more natural than a guy to play a boy's role. I mean seriously, English subaru sounds like he's had hormones force-fed to him.

 

[AoBfrost]

I agree, but common sense wise, there is no kid who will be mature enough to sit there for hours and record different lines, that is why they use grown woman who sound much alike young boys for voice acting.

Nickelodeon's Hey, Arnold! hired pre-teens to voice the main characters, I believe.

Yeah, well, for the boys at least.

 

[PrimoPiccolo]

Yeah, well, for the boys at least.

Arnold, Gerald and Helga.

 

[Trivial]

Well, the vouce of Fuyura is somewhat easy to be detected
Since her child-voice has some special point

But, for another seiyuu, like Itou Kentarou (War-Rock), Kana Ueda (Shirogane Luna), and Hoshikawa Akane (Kimura Akiko), it's kinda hard to guess
I also didn't catch that Rockman.EXE's seiyuu is Subaru's mom in Ryuusei

 

[AoBfrost]

I think the ability to act and release emotion couldnt be done as easy in a child also, so they use an adult who is trained.

 

[Dengar]

Apart from that, you do realise that child labor is somewhat of an issue right?

Not as much, but people tend to avoid it if they can.
