Sometimes, but I also look at the story and artwork as well. Seeing my favorite VA in the cast would either motivate me to check out an anime or be a bonus onto an anime that I was already looking forward to. Saying that, I also love to watch anime with new VA's just because you don't know their personalities and types of characters they voice yet, unlike veterans.

I personally like anything that has Tomokazu Sugita or Kana Hanazawa in the mix.

Not really. Although during various series I will have a "Hey, its that voice!" trope moment.

If I know a voice actor/actress is voicing on the anime, I will look into more information on said anime but I usually only do that with dubs [love Vic Mignogna.] But I will not chose a show just on the voice actors alone [I hated the dubbed version of Level E and it has one of my top fave voice actors in it, named above.] So it is one way to find anime to look into more.

Not particularly, but I do tend to enjoy animes that Kazuya Nakai, the voice actor for Roronoa Zoro, Hijikata, and etc., acts for, if that says anything.

Same with me. I randomly pick some anime to watch and have the exact same reaction. ^~^

Usually not. I picked animes based on the story and genre. But I did once, the anime called Btooom! Where Kanata Hongo is the voice actor of the main protagonist.

I can't say I watch an anime because of the seiyuu, but if Hanazawa Kana is in it I consider it a big plus. I guess you could say I have a bit of a fanboy crush on her. I also like Sawashiro Miyuki's voice acting. There are several shows that have both of them, like Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari, Zetsuen no Tempest, Durarara!!, Black Rock Shooter, Deadman Wonderland, and Psycho-Pass. I think that's all of them. . .

With the exception of Deadman Wonderland, those were all great shows, so if I see that both of them are in a new anime I'll probably give it a chance even if the story synopsis doesn't pique my interest. Most of the time I don't check out those details ahead of time anyway though.
