Well, I'm not quite as well-versed in Japanese VAs as American ones... more importantly, I don't (yet) speak Japanese, so I don't think I'm fully qualified to judge them in terms of acting ability. My favorite English-language VAs, though...
- Spike Spencer (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Martian Successor Nadesico, Excel Saga, Trauma Center)
- Amanda Winn Lee (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Dead Leaves, Read Or Die, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, Shin Megami Tensei series)
- Richard Epcar (Ghost in the Shell, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, Kingdom Hearts, Xenosaga)
- Carrie Savage (Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Shuffle!, Tales of Legendia)
- Luci Christian (Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Gunslinger Girl, Azumanga Daioh!, Full Metal Panic!, Air)
- Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Ghost in the Shell, Wolf's Rain, Baroque)
- Eric Vale (Dragon Ball Z, Gunslinger Girl, Desert Punk, Romeo + Juliet)
- Allison Keith (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Full Metal Panic!, Excel Saga)
- Laura Bailey (Fullmetal Alchemist, Gunslinger Girl)
- David Hayter (Metal Gear Solid, Gundam 00, Fushigi Yugi, Eternal Darkness)
- Jennifer Hale (Tales of Symphonia, Metal Gear Solid, Metroid Prime)
- Paul Eiding (Metal Gear Solid, StarCraft, Eternal Darkness)
- Greg Eagles (Afro Samurai, Metal Gear Solid, Eternal Darkness)
- Johnny Yong Bosch (Akira, Bleach, Haruhi Suzumiya)
- Scott Menville (Tales of Symphonia, Tekkon Kinkreet, Teen Titans)
- Colleen Clinkenbeard (Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien, Tsubasa, Rebuild of Evangelion, tons of others I just can't think of)
Of the Japanese seiyuu I am familiar with...
- Norio Wakamoto (The Legend of Zelda, Castlevania)
- Kotono Mitsuishi (Neon Genesis Evangelion, Excel Saga)
- Megumi Ogata (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
- Akio Otsuka (Ghost in the Shell, Metal Gear Solid, Rurouni Kenshin)
- Kappei Yamaguchi (Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2, Dead Leaves)
- whoever played The Puppet Master in the original Ghost in the Shell, and got completely fucked over by Production I.G. for GitS 2.0
*takes a deep breath*
...
...and basically anyone who worked on Evangelion, in English or Japanese - EXCEPT FOR KEITH BURGESS. The casting and performances in both versions were absolutely fantastic, EXCEPT FOR KEITH BURGESS.
I'll probably think of more and add them in later.
