What are the best, loudest, screams in anime? Any gender, any language, any emotion.

Just about every character at some point in Higurashi. Blood curdling screams.

The one delivered at the end of episode 18 is worse. Makes me wonder how Ogata's vocal chords handled it...

Masumi Asano in that one episode of Uta Kata. I was sure she'd be unable to speak for the remainder of the series.

That was the one that first came to mind for me too. It chilled me when I first saw it on VHS and it still chills me now to think of it.

Interesting. I just rewatched the series a couple months ago; I think I'll fire it up again to compare.

Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star. Atatatatatatatatatata!!! Enough said. :P
Also, his agonized screaming when he calls out Yuria's name (though hes not the only one to do that sort of thing in this series).

Second Shinji Ikari, and add:
Gaara (Naruto) - "Blood? BLOOD?! IT'S MY BBBBLLLLLOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!". Chilling (especially since we'd already been creeped out by his "conversation" a few moments earlier), in both the sub and dub.
Also, while I don't remember it being that loud, Kamina's scream after his mecha is impaled in Gurren Lagann sent shivers down my spine just for the sheer shock of it all.

+100. That guy was always screaming at the drop of a hat.

Tange Sakura in Voogie's Angel. Her scream sounded so painful it brought tears to my eyes :cry:

Anita King (ROD) - I can't remember exactly which episode but there was a really memorable one by her.

Echoing EoE, sub or dub, that scream is absolutely brutal.
The most iconic though has to be "TETSUOOOOOOOOO!!!" coupled with "KANEDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

undoubtedly the most convincing scream belongs to Urumi Kanzaki (G.T.O.) voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi. - When Onizuka scares the poo out of her during that freefall, I practically felt her vocal cords reverberate.

Best?--Hands-down, from the undefeated champion: "LUM-SAAAAAAANNNNN!"
(Can be heard from space, when shouted from rooftops at midnight.) :sd:
Loudest?--I'm going to pick a dark horse here, and say that Tetsuro's "MAETERUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" out of literally a clear blue peaceful offcreen nowhere at the end of "Adieu, Galaxy Express 999" (thanks loads, Rin, that's, like, really artsy... :rolleyes: ), will blow out your speakers every time if you're not prepared ahead...
Which you never are, what with having been led into that false sense of security.

In her concert performance of an upbeat "Zanokokou", Megumi put in powertful Shiji-screams mid-song. The fangirls went wild.

I always though Asuka's (Miyamoto Yuko's) scream in EoE was more chilling.

Last episode. Yeah, I remember that one. :shivers:
I was watching Red Garden episode 2. My mother came into my room and asked what I was watching there was so much screaming.

I can't remember the episode, off hand, but I think it's 3 or 4 . . . Hand Maid May . . .
When May is riding on the cat and he takes a dive off a roof or something, Maria Yamamoto's almost supersonic sceeeeeeeeeeee!!! is far and away the best scream in anime.

I going to put one in for Maryke Hendrikse in the last episode of Black Lagoon. When Rock pulls out the sword of Revys leg.

The ones that came to mind were...
The bloodcurdling scream of the girl near the end of Angel's Egg
When Priss screams out Sylvie's name in Bubblegum Crisis 5

Actually I think it was a few episodes before. She was blaming someone for everything bad that had happened and the person she screamed at walked off dejectedly after all the screaming.

Makoto Ishii as Kazuki in that episode toward the end of Soukyuu no Fafner... if you've seen it, chances are you know what I mean...

Akemi in episode 5 (I think) of Saikano after she gets slapped. Both for the scream (more of a howl, but what a lovely, desolate howl it is) and the informational content (Kind of overreacting, isn't she? She wouldn't make a noise like that unless she were carrying a torch for... OH!). :catgirl:

no, but the screams aren't that memorable because they all sound the same, nor do they sound agonizing enough to mention. I haven't heard an orgasmic scream that makes your body hair stand compared to the traumatic screaming found in non-hentai.

Hm, I'm pretty sure there are some standouts.

Wuss! The Japanese Revy - Megumi Toyoguchi is not so soft :devil:
The screams in Gunbuster always stick with me, although Noriko's are more yells. But Sarah's as she is pinch-crushed to death by a giant bug was as hair raising as seeing what made her scream.
Priss in BGC 5, was probably my first anime scream, powerful episode!

No one can beat that Shinji scene, but another that really stuck with me is FMA's Izumi Curtis, after giving baby Wrath up to the spirits in the Gate (episode 31).
"The truth? It looked like Hell to me......and I gave him to it"
That was chilling. :eek:

Probably one of the best angry screams I've heard was from...well crap I can't remember which one she was but it was either Fan or Lan at the end of Fullmetal Panic: The Second Raid after Gates teased her with the dead body of her sister: "BASTAAAAAAAAAARRD!" and then Gates comes back with: "You make this too easy, bitch!" "Say goodniiiiiiiiight!" English dub, haven't actually listened to the japanese track. Quite the "O_O Holy...shit..." moment for me.

The mother in episode 5 of Planetes. This was on the japanese track. A thief takes Sia, a girl that Hachimaki and the others befriend in the episode, hostage. As Sia's mother witnesses this, like any loving, caring mother would, she panics and lets out a extremely loud, ear-shattering scream. It scared the $#!% out of me. She was a one-time only character too, I can only imagine if she was a regular character...
