Ok so I have reopened the anime feels I thought I had bottled away

No series specifically, just..

Voice actors.

I love voice actors so much.

I don't do it myself, though I do end up imitating characters kind of accidentally sometimes lol. The line just.. comes out?

Anyway, there are great English and Finnish speaking VAs of course (Stephen Merchant, Vic Micnogna, Jon-Jon Geitel, Petrus Kähkönen, Jari Salo to name a few)

But Japanese VAs aka seiyuus?

They hit so different.

Nobuhiko Okamoto's voice is literally perfect and so cool and his range is crazy. He goes from crazy mad characters like BNHA's Bakugo to super sweet and timid like Sengoku from Horimiya. (His confession scene literally destroyed me, DANG was he adorable. Started this whole mess too, btw.)

Jun Fukuyama causes me to swoon every time he opens his mouth, and I might have to watch Assassination Classroom just because these two are in it. This guy also has a crazy range, going from selfish and arrogant rich dudes to normal shy and soff guys <33 (Prince Raj from Akagami no Shirayukihime vs a fairly normal main character Takanashi in Working!!)

Ishikawa Kaito, the voice of my dear little blueberry man aka Kageyama from Haikyuu!!, I love him so much. He does the 'cool guy who is actually a dork' so well. Also the super epic Genos from One Punch Man. Gahh.

Yuki Kaji? Does super calm roles like Kenma from Haikyuu!! but amazing tsundere roles as well like Nishikata from Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san. Love his voice too.

Tetsuya Kakihara? Mamoru Miyano? Miyu Irino? Daisuke Ono? (Silver the Hedgehog's Japanese VA btw, so surreal, he's nothing like the English voice) Yuuichi Nakamura? Tatsuhisa Suzuki? Nobunaga Shimazaki? Saitou Souma? Uchiyama Kouki? Hiro Shimono?

I love the Japanese Sonic cast as well. Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles and Espio specifically, but everyone else is super good too.

I could list these dudes for ages but I gotta go to bed and my leg is falling asleep so I gotta move too so yeh (def not in the bathroom rn)

It has been revealed.

I am an anime nerd.

The weeb bottle has been opened.

We shall suffer together.

Review Proper

I AM TOTALLY BESIDE MYSELF RIGHT NOW.

I KNEW THIS WAS GOING TO BE GOOD BUT-

I DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT’LL BE THE BEST???

I’m not going to talk much about the plot here since everyone knows that it’s amazing so I’ll be jumping straight into the technicalities now. 👌

After Saitou Soma’s seme stint in Kakkou no Yume, I was completely convinced that he just wasn’t cut out to be a seme so I was very apprehensive in listening to this. Had it not be Akaito that he was doing, I might not have picked this up honestly. His Mafuyu just manages to pop out in every role he has done so far whether it be a seme or uke role. 🤷 

But I’m glad that I did.

BECAUSE YO BOY TURNED OUT TO BE A FUCKING G???

He was PERFECT for Hiro’s role. I can’t think of a better seiyuu for him after finishing the CD. I DID NOT HEAR MAFUYU ANYWHERE. I’m suddenly worried about Furukawa Makoto’s Uenoyama ass. Man, when he whispered Keiji-san’s name into his ear-

Wait- let me just shamelessly combine the manga and cd for that part.

JESUS.

I wonder how Nakajima Yoshiki handled that with a straight face. 😂 

So yeah, we’ve got excellent voice work and chemistry - the mattress mambos were so cute and 🔥🔥🔥. Please have a glass of water nearby. 😂 I was really pleasantly surprised with how great this casting turned out. Good on you, Brilliant Prin. 👏

EDIT!!!

I almost forgot to put Eguchi Takuya’s name up in the cast because I’m steadily praying for there to be a CD adaptation for Kanawanu Koi no Musubikata too! And if it becomes a reality then Eguchi Takuya’s going to be the uke ofc!  😭😭 😭 I wonder who’s going to be the seme??? What if they choose Furukawa Makoto??? 😱 Uenoyama getting back at Mafuyu??? 

This was a pretty good adaptation in all fairness. I was literally squealing and convulsing while listening to it - it’s that attention grabbing lol. There are some parts of the manga that they have cut out and other parts which they just added in but, nothing really that changed the story. Reading the manga along with listening to the CD is definitely possible and for all of you new to the CD scene, this’ll be a good learning experience. 👌

I would definitely recommend this to everyone who’s a fan of the series. I hope y’all enjoy it like I did. 😂
