One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e

All anime connected with Key, Tactics, and Jun Maeda, only excluding One: Kagayaku Kisetsu e - True Stories, which is a hentai.

This is a part of a series of stacks that are about artistic tendencies in anime (and that border the fine line between sophisticated and pretentious).

This stack is a work in progress.

Key is a Japanese visual novel studio known for making dramatic and plot-oriented titles. It was formed on July 21, 1998, as a brand under the publisher Visual Arts, and is located in Kita, Osaka.

Some of the most popular anime by them are Clannad, Angel Beats and Charlotte.

Artists who have numerous roles in visual novels. (wip; suggestions & corrections are always welcome~)


Loose criteria (so the list doesn't cap out too fast):
* First vocal appearances unless specified (as far as is documented online)
* Likely female artists only (my otome knowledge is limited to maybe FukuJun & KENN lol)
* Likely excluding VAs more active/popular in anime (e.g. Yui Horie, Nagi Yanagi)
* 5+ VN roles unless their only anime roles are VN adapts
* No hanime since it'll hide the stack :')
* No artists already in my utaite/dojin stacks (since it'll be the same entry)
I'll try to drop a mention to artists who don't make it to the list either here or in the entry of another artist.

Choukou Tenshi Escalayer --> Over Beat: Ashita e no Escalation - E-mi (Same as VN OP) https://youtu.be/s3PzpPlfbK8
