So after going through this puzzle I thought to myself "a puzzle about seiyuu oughta have voices in it," followed by "wait a second, I could totally pull that off." One long night of cutting audio clips later, I had this. Some voices are famous, some appear in only a single role, so I hope this will challenge your knowledge of Japanese voice actors thoroughly. Hints will be provided over time in the form of additional audio clips, which may provide some information about the character or come from a different character altogether. There is one game, one winner, and one whitelist spot on offer. With all that said, I hope you enjoy!

EDIT: Puzzle completed, solution posted. Thanks for playing!

Well, I was going to come in and drop a hint, but it would appear no one's even tried, so I'll wait for some people to actually have a go at it before I start with hints. I will say that they are roughly ordered from hardest to easiest, so if you're having trouble, start from the bottom.

Another seiyuu puzzle!
You impostor! xD

Q6 I'm pretty sure for the 1st voice, but the 2nd.. She only had "why?" and "impossible" lines
Need hints! You evil! xD

Edit :
Only Q2, Q3 & Q6 left!! xD

Heh heh, I fully expected 6 to be a tough one, though her voice in particular is one of my favorites and one I can usually pick out myself in seconds. I don't expect everyone to be that attuned to her voice though so I do have hints planned for it.

Got one at least, so bump!
Edit: make that two.
Edit': I'll need the answers later, with the roles, that Q2 for one!

I know where Q3 was taken from (the music is distinctive if I didn't already know the voice), but the answer does not match. In fact I've I've tried all seiyuu from that show just in case and all wrong. :(

I just tested that one myself and it works. Either you're giving the wrong answer, spelling it differently than MAL, or aren't using the proper name order.

mmmm, well I tried the MAL version, other versions and both reversed and normal without luck. I look forward to seeing the answers when the giveaway is over so that I can look foolish :3

I can tell you that the sound clip for three comes from a currently airing show; if that's not the show you have in mind, you're barking up the wrong tree. I may make the next hint for Q3, but the problem is she hasn't had many lines yet in this show and she's only had a couple other major roles, which were very, very popular, so if I use those it might make it a bit too easy. Maybe as we get a bit further along.

I also noticed that I got one of my hints mixed up, which has now been fixed and I even made another hint to apolog...okay, I admit I really just wanted more opportunities to show off her voice. She's awesome.

Alright, time for me to head to bed, so I've dropped a hint off for you. This one's from a different character than the one in the puzzle who, by the by, happens to be from a currently airing show.

Hint posted for Q2. This was actually originally the clip I wanted to use for it, but later on I picked another clip from the same show, so I decided to bump this one and pick a different role.

Hint for Q7 posted. Doing a video this time; frankly it gives away a little bit too much, but I couldn't resist showing off Touka's badassery. While I'm at it, have some GIF's:

If you want to be whitelisted you'll need to follow the instructions laid out in the results Specifically in your case, the last two sentences.

I feel a little bit unfair to claim the right to be whitelisted.Becuase I am a Japanese and have advantages than others.So I hope second solver take the right too.

At the end of the puzzle (and my last one as well, I've become rather fond of this method of keydrops), the winner is instructed to either redeem the key themselves and post it censored here in a certain way so that no one else can attempt to claim it, or if they don't take it they post it here censored however they like to stop bots for someone in the thread to take instead. The person who posts it will get whitelisted either way. I figure this way the key is more likely to go to someone who's at least tried solving the puzzle and hopefully had some fun rather than some random passerby. Worked out fine so far. :)

Well, I have to tell you thanks too^^ But why didn't you create a giveaway? Why dropping a key?

9 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Two main reasons. I came up with this as an alternative to past, jankier methods of allowing people to inform me of puzzle completion for whitelisting. It's simple and easy. Secondly, I've never liked making giveaways for keys. I always get horrible anxiety that something's going to go wrong and the key isn't going to work for some reason. This way at least if something goes wrong I can easily replace it with something else. So it's a good way for me to get rid of some old keys I've got hanging around rather then just letting them sit to rot because I'm paranoid.

Heh, you didn't have to stick with my censorship method when posting an unused key, just if you used it, but that works. You've been whitelisted and a solution is coming up shortly for everyone else.
