Death Note seiyuus announced and....WTF?

[abandonreality]

Ok,  I admit, I have been STOKED about the Death Note anime.  Anything to take my mind off of Bleach fillers *weeps silently*.  Today on the Weekly Jump com, they announced the seiyuu choices the studio made.  I ..... I have one thing to say:

WTF?!!  Ok, so maybe I'm overreacting....*think happy thoughts*......but.......Kappei Yamaguchi as L??!!
MY L!!!!!!   NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

*goes to find gun to shoot self*

wtf? I mean, WHAT?

I dunno this guy's other work--but L is the most important, dreamy, insinuating voice. HE REQUIRES THE BEST SEIYUU!

UGH!
His most famous ones are InuYasha on 'InuYasha', Ranma on 'Ranma 1/2', Usopp on 'One Piece' and Ryuichi Sakuma on 'Gravitation'.....

*sobs for L's voice*

USOPP? o.o

XDDDDDD

Ha ha ha! That's... really funny! Who did they give the voice of Raito/Light to?! Did they say! Tell meeeee~!

I like Kappei's voice! But... heh heh... that's cus he growls... He also does Shinpachi's voice from Peace Maker Kurogane... The short red-headed one... ::jumps:: But for L... Hmmm... I don't know...

Miyano Mamoru, he does Tamaki on Host Club.

Which I kind of think is o..k...

Don't get me wrong, I likeKappei's voice. He is THE InuYasha and Ranma voice as far as I'm concerned. But as far as L is concerned, it makes me shiver uncontrollably....

::curls into a ball and laughs:: What kills me about Miyano's voice is that he did Kiba from Wolf's Rain and freakin MOONDOGGIE from Eureka 7... Seriously... those two shouldn't sound the same at all...! but I haven't heard the Japanese track for either of those... sooooo...

But I imagine he'll warp his voice to better suit L... Some seiyuu and VA's have AMAZING ranges... I STILL can't get over Steven Blum playing Orochi-freakin-maru in Naruto...

who would you have preferred to do L's voice?

[abandonreality.livejournal.com]

Whoosh, I hope so, I'm sure he will...I just keep hearing him yell "KAGOMEEEEEE!!" in my head...

In a perfect world? Ginpei Sato....Mmmmm...His voice is smex. And it can be soft and dreamy or insinuating and stern...I always imagined his voice sounding smooth like his.

[gallo-de-pelea.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I could see it working - he's got that youthful/smooth yet slightly edgy tone.

Kage-chan talked me down a bit....I just keep hearing him yell "KAGOMEEEEEEE" in my head everytime I think about it...:/

Ginpei Sato! *clouds of pink hearts whirl around head* *__* Mmm!

What - er, carry on. :D

[grieve-the-day.livejournal.com]

i love his voice!

i also would have accepted Miki Shinichiro for your answer, he does urahara's voice..but i think it could also work with L, no?
