They also keep casting from the same small pool of actors. It's harder to complain about that without being fluent in Japanese though so that it might possibly get the attention of the right people.

I mean, not particulary that all the voices done by Johnny Young Bosch were done by the same Japanese VA too, but uh... anyone ever heard of Koyasu Takehito (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takehito_Koyasu" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takehito_Koyasu</a>) ? He is like THE voice. See the list of anime he's voiced characters in? He has voiced SO many main characters... and I never get sick of hearing his voice at all. I also enjoy hearing JYB alot too, I even prefer his voice over the Japanese voice in Fragile, which is alot more childish... and I don't like childish sounding Japanese VAs. Anyways.... I'm just saying, Japanese VAs get overused alot too. German VAs too... at least it's someone who can act with his voice instead of some crappy VA. <br><br>Tho.. I'd really like to hear the girl who voiced Fran in FFXII again.. she has one hell of an awesome voice!

I'll be sticking to the JPN voice track anyway, so I'm glad that's still an option. Ok, by cast I meant “Johnny Yong Bosch,” which you properly state as being overused.

We only really know of Johnny Yong Bosch and the only people who'll have a problem with that are the people who go wahwah about how overused he is (even though he is).
