This project got off to a dead-heat start witha steady stream of votes from the first day of voting.

The top vote-getter out of 54 cast members this time was Makoto Furukawa, who plays Giltier Brion in "Visual Prison" and Ronald in "Vampire Sucker Dies Quickly". In second place was Jun Fukuyama, who also plays the vampire Dralc in "Vampire Soon to Die," making it a one-two finish for the "Vampire Soon to Die" duo.

The book is more like "Vampire Dies Soon" than "Vampire Dies Soon," in which he turns to dust when startled by a loud noise, turns to ashes when beaten by Ronald, shatters when caught in a door, turns to dust when vavrezed, ...... turns to dust anyway, and dies quickly. In this film, Fukuyama, who has played many fast-talking characters in the past, gives another great performance as the soon-to-be-dead vampire Dralc, this time with his pettiness, cuteness, playfulness, and good-naturedness. Mr. Furukawa plays Ronald, a handsome, athletic and skilled vampire hunter who has come to exterminate Dralc, but whose short temper is a flaw. In fact, the two are the same as in the spring of 2021.

In fact, these two had also been ranked first and second in the 2021 spring and summer anime, with Mr. Fukuyama taking the top spot in both the 2021 spring and summer anime. There were high hopes that Mr. Fukuyama would win the first place again this time and win the triple crown, but this time Mr. Furukawa won the first place.
Vampires Will Die Soon" was also selected in the " What to Watch Next Season? The fact that the two stars of the highly anticipated work came in first and second place side by side can be said to be a result of their excellent performances that did not betray expectations.

And in third place was Koki Uchiyama, who plays the roles of Asahina Tact in "takt op. Destiny" and Lev Reps in "Tsuki to Laika to Vampire Princess. Both characters are "honest" protagonists in a sense, as what they think comes out of their mouths immediately, although in different directions. Tact, who has neither a good mouth nor a good personality, and Lev, who has a strong sense of justice, as well as Reiji Amamiya, who plays the role of "Megaton-class Musashi," are mysterious boys, but they have a side that opens their hearts only to cats, and this season is a cool one in which we can again enjoy Uchiyama's charm.

The fourth-ranked "king ranking" Kage, played by Ayumi Murase, is not a person but a shadowy creature with eyeballs, a survivor of the "Shadow Clan," a group of assassins who were eradicated. Many viewers would love to hear Mr. Murase's gentle and enveloping voice say to Bodge, the main character, "I want to be on your side no matter what happens to me from now on.

In sixth place was Akira Ishida, and in seventh place was Hiroshi Kamiya, two popular voice actors who should no longer be called mid-career but rather veterans, and who are not overshadowed by others.
Ishida plays Hiro in "Kimi to Fit Boxing," an animated work based on a boxing exercise game in which players use the Joy-Con to punch each other like in a rhythm game while receiving direct instruction from an in-game instructor voiced by a popular voice actor. Hiro is an instructor who teaches the main character fit boxing while cheering him on with his dazzling smile. While being an instructor, he is also a member of a popular dance unit, and even has a playful side, naming his cat "Watanabe-san. This work, which offers a glimpse of Hiro's charms that could not be seen only in the game, may have inspired many people to work even harder at fit boxing.
In "Tesla Note," Kamiya-san plays Oliver Thornton, the good right-hand man of Mickey Miller, played by Junichi Suwabe. Oliver is a very good spectacle, and if you haven't seen him yet, you should definitely check him out.

Another regular, Sadayuki Matsuoka, ranked 7th, plays the role of Inosuke Sukidaira in the "Demon Slayer: Infinity Train Arc" TV anime version. The TV anime version, which is interspersed between the movie version and the broadcast of the new series, has many new cuts that were not seen in the movie version, and the large number of fans who look forward to it every week probably contributed to its ranking at No. 7.

Following the regular members, Takuya Sato, who plays Gozu, came in at No. 8 from the BL work "Devote Yourself to the Demon King Iblogia. Gozu, who has been reincarnated into the world of his favorite game, is a dominant man who is madly in love with a cute demon king on the verge of a dark fall. The shocking fact that the tough-looking Gozu is the recipient of the play may have attracted many enthusiastic votes from fans who saw a side of him they had never seen before.

In ninth place, Miyu Irino ranked in with his "Platinum End" character "Kashihashi Tomorrow. Mr. Irino said that he went into the audition with a strong determination, "Only I can play the role of Akira Kikahashi." True to his word, he played the role of tomorrow that only Mr. Irino can play, and he received many votes.

Hajime Sato, who played the role of Amou Shiiba in "Boundary War Machine," came in at 10th place, only one vote behind Irino, who came in at 9th place. He had been receiving a certain number of votes since the beginning of the voting, and remained stable until the end, earning him 10th place. Gen Sato is a young voice actor whose future career is sure to be exciting, as he can handle everything from energetic, cute, and timid types, such as Chrome in "Dr. Stone," Fumiya Tomozaki-kun in "Weak Character Tomozaki-kun," and Tomoyuki Kubota in "Skating Leading Stars.
