Why do characters repeatedly say other characters names?
I'm watching Blood C, and I'm reminded that in anime, dialog can often consist of characters just saying other character's names. In this example, most of Tadayoshi Kisaragi's lines towards Saya are just her name. If I recall, there was a similar…

Are female voice actors cheaper in Japan?
There are some anime which have all female characters, and literally, everyone that is voiced is a girl. When there is a guy, he either has a squeaky voice or is actually a girl too.
