Seiyu's Life! is a 13-episode anime series that aired in Japan in the summer of 2015. The show centers around the lives of three young voice actresses trying to make it in the competitive world of anime voice acting. The show is a comedy-drama, mixing humor with more serious moments to create a well-rounded story. The three main characters are Futaba Ichinose (voiced by Futaba Ichinose), Ichigo Moesaki (voiced by Marika Takano), and Rin Kohana (voiced by Yurika Kubo). They are all voice actresses working for the same talent management agency, and the show follows them as they work on various anime projects, attend events, and navigate their personal lives. Futaba is the most experienced of the three, having been in the industry for a few years already. She is the typical "big sister" type, always looking out for the others and sharing her knowledge and experience with them. She also has a secret passion for music, which leads her to form a band with Ichigo and Rin. Ichigo is the energetic and outgoing member of the trio. She is always eager to take on new challenges and will do anything to succeed. Her catchphrase is "ganbare" (do your best), which she uses as a sort of mantra to motivate herself and others. She forms the band with Futaba and Rin as a way to bring more attention to their voice acting careers. Rin is the quiet and reserved member of the group. She is a bit more introverted than the other two and tends to be more focused on her work. Despite her shy demeanor, she has a lot of talent and is respected by her peers. She also has a crush on a fellow voice actor, which adds a bit of romance to the show. The show does a good job of showing the struggles and challenges that voice actors face in their work. They often have to work long hours and deal with difficult directors and tight deadlines. They also have to deal with the pressure of being in the public eye and maintaining a certain image. The show also touches on the issue of typecasting in the industry, where actors are often pigeonholed into certain roles based on their voice or appearance. Despite these challenges, the show has a generally lighthearted and optimistic tone. The characters are all very likable, and it's easy to root for them as they try to achieve their dreams. The humor is often based on the quirks and idiosyncrasies of the characters, as well as their interactions with each other. There are also plenty of references to real-life voice actors and anime series, which adds a fun meta element to the show. One of the most interesting aspects of Seiyu's Life! is the way it combines traditional animation with live-action segments. Throughout the show, there are segments where the voice actresses themselves appear on screen, discussing their experiences and offering insights into the industry. These segments are a nice touch, as they add a bit of behind-the-scenes perspective to the show. Overall, Seiyu's Life! is a charming and entertaining anime series that offers a fun glimpse into the world of voice acting. It's a great show for fans of anime and anyone interested in the workings of the entertainment industry. While it may not be as flashy or action-packed as some other anime shows, its relatable characters and well-crafted humor make it a standout series in its own right.
