Maybe you'll all think I'm weird but for me a seiyuu who can do an honest to god authentic battle cry or death/pain scream is an absolute pleasure to listen to. Its pretty rare that you get someone who can do more than the stereotypical KYAAAAHH anime damsel in distress thing. As such I thought we'd have a thread where we present some of our favorite examples.
I'll start us out with what is probably the most famous example, Megumi Ogata as Shinji Ikari. youtube.com/watch?v=CokRWP9Ywro
A personal favorite of mine, though certainly less extreme than Ogata's performance, is Hidaka Noriko's war cry as Takaya Noriko in Gunbuster, showcased at several points during the following battle scene: youtube.com/watch?v=l0vCY3I5yxo&t=107s (battle starts around 1:15)
When Guts yells Griffith In the last episode of the old anime show while he's running with his arm ripped off. English dub of course
I really do like shinjis voice actor(both Japanese and english).

Erwin screaming after getting his arm bit or alternatively Eren yelling like crazy one ep later

>I'll start us out with what is probably the most famous example, Megumi Ogata as Shinji Ikari. Not even the best scream in Eva. Asuka dying in EoE is the best one. youtube.com/watch?v=05carXpUuW4 6:25
I agree about Spike Spencer. He doesn't do a bad job himself, though I still think Ogata is a cut above. youtube.com/watch?v=KyRActRVYPw

Its not a scream but I'll never get over how Lust and Roy's VA's from FMAB got married.

It's not weird at all. The anime/VN industry is plagued with extremely fake screams, moans etc. which are simply perpetuated because the audience expects them, so hearing screams that actually sound like screams is exciting and refreshing.
As for examples, there's Meryl's SWEALLOW-SAMAAAAAA from Chaos Dragon, if someone has the webm lying around. And certain VNs, but it's extremely rare.
