Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote

Two sides of a coin.

This is what this show is, a really drama filled roller coaster, that really play into both sides. Which really explains the message within this show. Someone can have perfect in everything, but still have their own faults, and worries. While one who could be seen as plain, or cold, could have larger aspirations, then one may not realize. Something that'll drive this show forward, and keep it engaging from start to finish.

Story and characters: 7
Opposites attract.

Really, that's the common basis for the story. Even within the first episode, there was a foreshadowing line thrown in there, which perfectly captured it. ... Following two different faces, with the same desire to be a voice actress, that have gone through differences, that really puts them apart. Which for a 12 episodic show, can be enough to carry a show along.

My only worry for it, is if it gets...Too creepy in retrospect. Which might be enough to put people off, but if done right, it'll be a good show for the season. Even if it deserves credit for it's realism, and honesty. If you're looking for a cute happy show, then you might be in te wrong place for that. As there are some heavy truths on this show, that will make it stand out a bit more, then a full on cutesy kind of show.

Art and sound: 8
What I really love about this, as it really can highlight both sides. As if with just a few altercations with appearances, lightning, the works, and anyone can look like a different person. Even on the radio, it can really make it out to be who is true and honest. We hear only what we believe is true, which then through this art style, it's like how the saying goes. 'Actions speak louder than words.' well in this case, lighting, and expressions can tell a lot more. A nice touch in this anime, followed up with a good sound design team to boot.

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote is very heartwrenching, but will do enough to make for one of the good animes of the season. A watch for sure.

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote may appear to be your typical CGDCT shoujo-ai story at first glance, but boy, are you in for a surprise!

This series delves into the lives of two radio voice actors who may seem friendly on air but have a completely different dynamic off air.

It's a revelation that what you see or hear on the media isn't always true. Your idol is human too—they can get mad, feel frustration, and they're not always the all-knowing goddesses we perceive them to be. Their favorite food might not always be strawberry or shortcake, and they don't always get along.

The first two episodes lull ... you into thinking it's just another cute girls doing cute things anime, but then the third episode hits you like a truck with all its conflicts.

For those into steamy yuri fanservice, rejoice! It's there, adding another layer to the narrative. The animation, though cute, cleverly disguises the deeper themes at play.

This isn't just about innocence and wholesomeness; it's a story about the complexities of Japanese entertainment. So if you're into shoujo-ai with a touch of conflict, give it a try—you won't be disappointed."

the seiyuu radio no uraomote manga is one of my favorites of all time. the character dynamics are great, and the art style is fantastic, i love both of these girls so much. and yet, this anime butchers the story so much i don't even know what they intend to adapt.

based on a light novel series, seiyuu radio no uraomote tells the story of two girls who can't stand each other and have to host a radio show together. they grow closer and have to face the many troubles the industry will bring them. if this enemies-to-lovers premise intrigues you in any way then, seriously, ... read the manga instead. the anime manages to cut 3/4 of their sweet, heart-racing moments together while having the "girls love" tag, as well as half the humor too. it's just depressing to watch, their characters become terribly flat and since many of the plot beats are removed, it doesn't make much sense anymore. they wanted to adapt too much of the aforementioned light novels and have in turn sacrificed the quality of the story in favor of the worst pacing possible

that said, these past couple of episodes have been better, so maybe it'll improve...? they've already butchered all of my favorite chapters though so i don't have all that much to look forward to anymore

tl;dr the story is really great but this adaptation is the worst thing i've watched. please read the manga instead.
