I'd like to determine a few statistics about voice acting:

  1. who are the most prolific anime voice actors during each season;
  2. which shows have employed the most voice talent;
  3. how few/many voice actors it would take to cover most of the shows in a given season.

I've had a play with [VGMdb](https://vgmdb.net) but it didn't seem to be
suited to answering any of these kinds of queries. Is there another more
appropriate resource? It's fine whether the resource is in English or
Japanese.

voice-acting
Is there a freely usable database that details the voice actors starring in each show?


[Usagi Doi](http://www.usagi.org/doi/seiyuu/databases.html) would be a good
starting point. All though they no longer maintain a complete database, they
have several database files publicly available which can be used for this
purpose.

[Myanimelist People](https://myanimelist.net/people.php) could also be used.
All though there is no api/database publicly available to my knowledge.

[Behind the voice actors](https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/voice-actors/)
this site covers more than only anime Seiyuu, and to my knowledge has no
public api/database available.

For the later 2 sites scraping may be a possibility, all though you would have
to take a look at their respective policies.
