Looking back at the popularity poll of female voice actors playing the leading roles in the 2018 spring anime, the results show that mid-tier to veteran voice actors were the most active.

Among them, the first-place winner was Tamura Yukari, who plays Finis in "Lost Song". Although she got off to a slightly slow start, she passed Satsuki Yuki and Machico to take the top spot. She finished ahead of the second-place finishers. One of the reasons for the large number of votes may be the presence of the king's people. In "Lost Song," she passionately played one of the divas who sings to soothe people, and many people may have been charmed by her performance and voice.

In second place was "Full Metal Panic! Invisible Victory" and Ms. Satsuki Yukino as Kaname Chidori. Full Metal Panic" is one of Satsuki Yukino's representative works, and although it has been 13 years since the last TV anime adaptation, her performance, which shows no signs of blanks, has become a topic of conversation on the Internet. She steadily increased the number of votes from the beginning and kept this position until the end.

While the veterans finished in a one-two finish, it was young Machico who held on and finished in third place. Although he stalled out in the middle of the race, he jumped to the provisional top position right after the start. In this season, she plays the role of Tokai Teio in "Uma Musume Pretty Derby. He is energetically active not only as a voice actor but also as a singer. She seems to be steadily increasing her fan base.

Looking at the top 4 and below, there are many popular voice actors such as Miyuki Sawashiro, Ayaka Suwa, Kana Hanazawa, Eri Kitamura, Marei Uchida, and Ayane Sakura. Of these, the one to watch out for is Takako Tanaka, who is ranked 9th. This is probably her first starring role.

Although she was outside the top 10 in the previous announcement, her vote count increased dramatically toward the end of the season, and she was ranked ahead of popular voice actors such as Nao Higashiyama, Inori Minase, and Riyo Takahashi, all of whom are in the spotlight right now. Takako Tanaka gave a great performance as Hina in this season's top-ranked comedy anime "Hina Matsuri. This may have contributed to her ranking. Ms. Tanaka will be taking on the role of the anime original character Shosato Sunada from "ISLAND" in the 2018 summer anime. She is one of the voice actors whose future career is sure to be one to keep an eye on.

In this year's poll, the most popular female voice actors were mid-career female voice actors with a career spanning nearly 10 years or even longer. As we approach the end of this season's anime, why not pay attention to their performances?
