by ‘It’s no longer like training’ anime with voice actors staggering.
Have you ever felt that the performances of voice actors who play various roles “look fun” or “envy”? However, behind the scenes, some works make the voice actors feel sorry, such as having a series of unfortunate roles and struggling with little dubbing. This article will introduce three anime that “voice actors become pitiful.” Even on SNS, it has a reputation that “he died in a mess again” and “the amount of talking is amazing.”
‘Mobile Suit Gundam SEED’ Houko Kuwashima
(Cosmic Era) 70 years. ZAFT’s nuclear attack on the “Bloody Valentine” plant triggered a full-scale war between the ZAFT forces and the Earth Allied Forces. In the protracted battle, the satellite Heliopolis of the neutral country Orb develops mobile weapons for the Earth Forces. Upon hearing this, the ZAFT forces began to invade Orb to steal the weapons. Kira Yamato (CV: Soichiro Hoshi), a student at Orb’s industrial college, evacuated a girl named Cagalli Yula Athha (CV: Naomi Shindo), but he failed to escape.
The ZAFT soldier who attacks Kira with a knife is Athrun Zala (CV: Akira Ishida), Kira’s childhood friend. “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” is the first “Gundam” series produced in the 21st century. Dramatic scenarios influenced by taiga dramas and shōjo manga have won the support of many viewers. Houko Kuwashima, who played the role of Frey Allster, the main character Kira’s friend, is in charge of a total of 5 characters, including “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY.”
However, all the characters die in the making. Frey is one of the main characters, but in the final episode, he is attacked by Lau Le Creuset (CV: Toshihiko Seki) and dies. In addition, Mr. Kuwajima was in charge of Natal Badgirul of the Earth Army and Via Hibiki, the birth mother of Kira, but he died.
In the next series, “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED DESTINY,” he is in charge of Stella Loussier, who belongs to the special forces of the Earth Army, and Ray the Barrel (childhood) of the ZAFT army, but both of them die. On SNS, there were even voices saying, “Is it because of Houko Kuwashima…” and “The curse of Houko Kuwashima’s character.!” Kuwashima-san, whose character has a high mortality rate, is sometimes said to be “CV: Houko Kuwashima Death Flag.” She can be considered a role because of her high acting ability, but considering that the death rate of the character in charge is high in other works, I wonder if Mr. Kuwashima’s suicide.
In addition, Frey and Nataru exchanged conversations many times during the work. Although Frey, a girl caught up in the war, and Nataru, a soldier, are two characters with entirely different attributes, Mr. Kuwashima does not divide the scenes and sometimes shoots them as a whole. Also, please pay attention to the splendor of her performance. This work can be seen on “U-NEXT,” “Bandai Channel,” “Amazon Prime Video,” etc.

“The Disastrous Life of Saiki Kusuo” by Hiroshi Kamiya
High school boy Kusuo Saiki (CV: Hiroshi Kamiya) has had supernatural powers since he was little. Kusuo has demonstrated extraordinary talents, such as talking silently at 14 days old and walking in the air at just one month old. Kusuo, who became a high school student, has no anger or sadness thanks to his supernatural powers but instead lives without joy and joy.
Kusuo had accepted such a peaceful life as “not bad,” but one thing made him not friendly. Is it because of the couple’s relationship with their parents, who should have been in love with each other? “Saiki Kusuo’s Ψ Difficulty” is an anime based on the manga of the same name (written by Shuichi Aso/Shueisha).
The original has sold over 6 million copies as of February 2018 and has been made into a live-action movie starring Kento Yamazaki and a novel. Mr. Kamiya, who plays Kusuo, lamented the speed of his lines, saying, “I’m surprised by the completely different speed between the final and the first episode.”
This work has many stories, such as the first, second, final, and the Ψ starting versions. You can already feel the speed of the lines from the first episode of the first season, but when you look at the Ψ start-up, you can see that the rate is accelerating.
The difference is so significant that even Mr. Kamiya said, “It’s like a different anime.” Even though you should be watching at a constant speed, Kusuo’s rate is as if you were watching at 1.5x speed, and Kusuo’s dialogue far surpasses other characters. Mr. Kamiya murmured, “I’m so frustrated that I’m the only one who is having such a hard time,” and Nobunaga Shimazaki, who plays the role of Shun Kaito, laughed, saying, “It seems that Mr. Kamiya is training.”
This work condenses the contents of five serializations for the anime’s first episode. It makes sense that there are a lot of lines, and it’s going to be fast, but Kamiya-san and other voice actors may need help with the viewer’s imagination. Mr. Kamiya says, “This work is like speed learning,” so if you haven’t seen it, please look. This work can be seen on “Netflix,” “Bandai Channel,” “Nico Nico Channel,” etc.
“BLOOD-C” Nana Mizuki
Saya Kisaragi (CV: Nana Mizuki) works as a shrine maiden at Ukishima Shrine in a beautiful rural town. Sayo goes to Sankei Gakuen, a private school, and enjoys school with her friends Yuka Amino (CV: Masumi Asano) and Itsuki Tomofusa (CV: Atsushi Abe). I was living my life. However, when she returns home, Saya is told by her father, Yuiyoshi Kisaragi (CV: Keiji Fujiwara), that she has a “duty.” “Obligation” is to kill the “old thing” that eats people with the sacred sword passed down at Ukishima Shrine…? “BLOOD-C” is produced by animation production company “Production I. G” and the female creative group “CLAMP” are working on the original animation.
This work is known for its high grotesqueness, even though it is well drawn. The story development is also quite shocking, but the voice actors were not informed of the future growth. Mizuki, who plays Sayo, commented, “Every time, I searched for a position based on limited information.”.
In the beginning, this work depicts a harmonious school life, but there is a somewhat disturbing atmosphere, such as the eerie “old things” and Sayo’s sudden change in “Otsuto.” Then, in the middle of the series, people are killed without warning, and a stormy development rushes in. To keep up with the product, Mr. Mizuki said, “Every time I received her script, I tried hard to find my position.”
Mr. Junichi Fujisaki, who was in charge of the script, said that he didn’t tell the voice actors about the future development because ” if I told them, they would have acted like that.” Mizuki’s hardships can be overcome by knowing the sudden actions and each spectacular scene of this work. In addition, the lyrics of the humming song that Saya often sings in the school scene are Mizuki’s ad-lib. In the first episode alone, three songs are humming with ad-lib lyrics. If it was ad-lib every time after that, Mr. Mizuki must have had a hard time.
This work can be seen on “d anime store,” “U-NEXT,” “Netflix,” etc. Even if you admire the work of voice actors, there are anime that make you think, “I don’t want to do this work…”. Please imagine the post-recording scene as you watch the three works that will help the voice actors overcome their hardships. The delivery status is as of the time of article publication.
