Truly, Chika helped Yumiko in this season finale by bringing back her character's confidence. Her presence alone helped shaped herself when she needed the most.

I really do appreciate that in the end, the show stuck with its roots and allowed the pair to be who they are. Chika is her beacon of light and Yumiko should be very thankful to have her. A bit of a predictable plot writing though.

Just two girlfriends helping each other.

Yuuhi, who decided to support Yasumi, openly tells her what had been bothering her about Yasumi's performance. This issue had been troubling Yasumi at this site for a long time. Encouraged by the confident Yuuhi, Yasumionce again realizes how impressive Yuuhi is. Moreover, Yuuhi even accompanies her to the recording session. From Yuuhi and Sugishita, Yasumi, openly learns about the high expectations people have for Yasumi Utatane. While she is still surprised by their words, an unexpected person appears in the studio.

Really loved the scene of Yasumi's performance not just because of it, but I loved the fact they added in the genga boards of the anime they were making. And ofc, not only did Yasumi nail the VA job in the end, but her seiyuu was fucking amazing too. Not to discredit Yuuhi ofc, she nailed it too. From what it seemed, it was one of those that changed depending on how the VAs preformed. Glad we went back to the podcast studio one last time and school. Ever since the whole anime arc thing, we haven't seen either in a minute. And ofc, we needed one last bicker from these two to end the show lols

A rather OK-ish show that I feel just got worse and worse after episode four imo. Animation also kinda drew me out, but I could deal with it.

As a VA-related anime, it left a bad impression by spending too much time on unnecessary off-board battles. I wish they had picked up the pace sooner. And in terms of yuri... yeah there's better this season alone lol.

In the past, it was Sato leading Chika, and now, the roles have been reversed where the former finds herself lagging behind, and she needs all the help she can get this time.

For sure, Chika leading Sato in both skill and emotion (even being Yuri-esque), as well as sound director Sugishita and the VAs involved in the anime project, Sato can't afford to fail her lines, not anymore. And as far as the recording for the latter's finale episode is of concern, Sato did give it her all, and it shows in all of the jealousy of Ono and Mori, plus Chika present in witnessing Sato transform into a different being altogether.

But of course, there's still the High School Radio drama, and plus, Asaka having both Sato and Chika participate in a lovey-dovey Yuri bait-worthy for their special program to answer their fans, it's a big dilemma for either girl, who's so used to bickering against each other, and now having to express their love for each other...it's certainly cringe levels of worthy, but that's what makes them both work.

As a VA-centric show, this is easily passable. Not bad, but not great either.

Yasumi and Yuhi you rocked my world. It’s a shame that this show didn’t get much hype, but it’s up there with the very best of the season for me.

That’s a wrap! After all the retakes and stress, Yasumi finally delivers the performance of her life. Of course admitting to needing Yuhi’s help was the key to unlock her full potential. I love how they gave us the raw performance with the storyboarding as well, just pure emotion from Yasumi’s Shirayuri. I got goosebumps. The director and older actors believed Yasumi could give a 120 point performance and she certainly did that.

Couldn’t end the episode without Yuhi’s patented “there it is, I really hate that about you” 😂 she’s such a tsundere

Even with all the work Yasumi put in with the Shirayuri role, without a doubt the hardest thing she’s had to do is figure out what she likes about Yuhi and praise her on air lmaoo. Asaka’s idea for that segment was brilliant, I’m sure half of their fans ship them by this point so may as well give them what they want.

“There’ll be times when I’m jealous and lash out at you” yea, we know Yuhi. That’s why we love you lmao. Eternal rivals is the perfect sort of confession between these two. Fuck I’m going to miss this show so much. These girls were amazing and I learnt a lot about what it really means to be a seiyuu from this. It’ll be missed.

Since episode 1 I was hoping they would do a scene with them just voice acting and it delievered
Better than my expectations even... no BGM, no Sound Effects, using pre-colored key animation frames and purely voicing, this was music to my ears.

What a fantastic finale!
I got a bit emotional during the voice-acting scene, I'm sure the viewers will love the episode when it airs.

Overall, it was a solid show, I have no major complains.
It's not one of the best anime I've ever watched, but I was neither expecting it to be nor do I regret watching it.

I enjoyed this show through the season. The last episode pushed it into the "very good" category for me. I enjoyed the characters. their progression, and their interactions immensely. I feel like the MAL score is lower because it initially had the "girls love" tag, and the two mains did not develop that kind of relationship. I was very satisfied with them becoming good friends and rivals. I don't know if enough source material or content exists to warrant a second season. I will watch if it happens, though.

Well, it was a pretty nice show with a somewhat satisfying ending. Really don't mind the slow burn, it's interesting to see how their relationship gradually develops, and how they grow professionally too. I'll happily watch a sequel if there is one. My only gripe is with the ridiculous plot about the bet they took with Yuuhi's mother, if not for this, I would have rated it higher.

The key to having a good rivalry on screen is to use the homoromantic tension you have with your rival.

I liked this show. It had gay people in it, but the main two gays probably aren't in love with each other. That's fine though, gay people can exist and not be in love, like me!

I know feasibly the rest of the show could not be like this but having both recording footage alongside the animated story and the radio show as a backdrop for the relationships for this climactic moment really served. I wish we got to see more of this content throughout the anime. It had a quite a few problems overall but this was a good episode to end it on.

Utatane really stole the show at the end of the season, I don't know if there will be a new season nor do I know if there is material to adapt, but man this anime was cool with several twists and turns and also with very serious issues being dealt with. And Utatane was incredible in the final episode of Phantom

Random episode thoughts:

- Yuuhi definitely had a point. The number of years being part of the industry shouldn't weigh you down too heavily that it negatively impacts your performance.

- Yasumi: "Having someone to act with is always better than going it alone." This is arguably a key advantage why a seiyuu in Japan gives a better performance than your typical Western anime voice actor.

- The retake scene with Yasumi was so meta. All that talk about removing her limitations, and reaching to her rival's level.... It's not really about Phantom anymore, but Yasumi's actual struggle. And having Yasumi channel her feelings about her experience into the scene was apparently the magic sauce needed to get the take that everyone was looking for. Kudos to Miku Ito of course for pulling it off.

- With such a performance, Yasumi won the respect of her older peers and that of the voice director. Thank goodness.

- Yasumi: "Talk about obvious yuri bait." And that's how it starts, folks. 😋

- With Yuuhi drawing a blank on saying something nice about Yasumi, she nonchalantly admits what she believes are Yasumi's "two biggest assets" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

- Yeah, Yuuhi couldn't resist spouting out that she's jealous of Yasumi's size during the recording session. Clearly Yuuhi is still thirsting for Yasumi's amazing rack. At this rate I'm surprised Yuuhi hasn't demanded another bathtub fondling session.

- With all the meta aspects of the show, I'm not surprised the episode had to end with "That's a wrap!"

------------------------------

Overall series impressions:

Aw man. Can't believe it's over. If there's one show I can say was my "comfort food" of Spring 2024, it would be The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio.

I enjoyed the most Yuuhi and Yasumi's chemistry in the series. And I think it's that chemistry that might have proven a hindrance to Episodes 8-11, as the amount of Yuuhi and Yasumi moments was reduced as the series shifted gears to showcase voice acting for Phantom.

If I had to point out one shortcoming, it would be several instances of "telling not showing", where the series had to resort to montages and Yasumi's monologue to convey certain aspects that, if they were better depicted, might have enhanced the anime.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio might not be as "serious" as Oshi no Ko in showcasing problems of the industry. Admittedly it is not an in-depth exploration of a life of a Japanese seyuu in the vein of Shirobako... but I definitely enjoyed it for what it is. It's a diamond in the rough. Could it have been much more than what we got? Absolutely. I'm definitely going to miss looking forward to the next weekly episode.

Please let there be a season two....

This was such a god dam incredible show, there’s so many things I loved about this show. The fact that this is my 4th favourite show this season and I’m giving it a 10 shows how incredible the April season has been for me.

Chika became one of my favourite characters ever and I absolutely love her to death. Her dynamic with Yumiko is so funny this episode was so cool and hilarious at the same time.

Yumiko’s acting gave me god dam chills when watching her act. The fact they had no ost or any background noises in her retake scene was incredible it added a lot of realism to that scene.

I also love the parallel with what was happening in the anime they were recording for how the girl Yumiko was playing was trying to surpass and be acknowledged by the other. Just like there irl rivalry.

Genuinely such an incredible show with great animation. Idk why I saw people complaining about the animation it was great. Maybe it was the art style people disliked instead idk it took me a little bit to get used to Tbf.

I’m like 90% sure this will never get a second season so I’ll be picking the source material up.

One detail which was pointed out recently by someone was that the gl tag was removed from this show. Ngl I forgot this show was even a gl to begin with. I was way too focused on the rivalry and acting I completely forgot about that.

The source material has that tag though so I’m guessing some form of romantic relationship may develop in the future.

Incredible show 10/10

I still love that Yumiko calls Chika onee-Chan it’s so wholesome.

GG! This last episode was quite the treat. Really loved the visceral voice acting scenes with no music behind them. Made for a very impactful performance on their last episode.

I'd maybe consider re-watching this season in a few years to revisit the characters. I enjoyed most of them quite a bit. Asaka and Wakana were absolutely adorable start to finish, and I wish them the best.

A quick 12 episodes, it was a nice show to catch on Wednesdays. Glad I watched it.

This was a nice anime, I always love a gyaru character especially here where she's the MC. The drama was over the top sometimes but still enjoyable. The "Phantom" anime they are acting in seems like something I'd watch ngl. Also I thought this had a girl's love tag but I guess not, I didn't really get that vibe

Good last episode.

It was interesting to see how anime is created and record voice acting. Yasumi's voice acting was good and even gave goosebumps. I'd probably watch the anime they were making if it existed.
And in the end of episode there was a yuri-special talk about what girls love in each other. It turned out pretty dangerous lol

About anime in general:
Not bad. I liked the visual style, the plot about the difficulties of a seiyuu and idol career and, of course, the main characters.
The interaction between them is the main spice of this anime.
Also there is some good music.

Now about the disadvantages:

Most of the secondary characters are not very interesting and poorly developed; it’s an anime of the two main characters (although i liked Yasumi’s friend Wakana, they have such cool gyaru interactions its strange that Yuuhi is not jealous).

The plot sometimes becomes a little boring, since the action is too focused on one thing, there is a very lack of distractions like going for pancakes or some kind of everyday walks (there is such a thing, but its not enough in my opinion) - this could better reveal the relationship between the two heroines not only from a professional seiyuu point of view.

Yasumi's gyaru style is perfect, but Yuuhi in everyday-mode looks too boring and antisocial, i think they tried to show her as a shy loner, but it turned out like Tomoko from Watamote. Like, its not kawaii, you know. She looks really cute in idol-mode, and i'd like to see something like that in her everyday-mode.

The anime have interesting visuals, but the action takes place only indoors - i would like more open locations and panoramas like, for example, the night city in pink and blue in the ending.

But its a really nice anime.

even this season or series finale wasn't as overdramatic as i was afraid of, the big expected event was entirely faced in the first half and the second was more of a return to slice-of-life and similar not necessarily teasing a second season.


Seeing that Phantom key animation in a show that habitually looks like How To Draw Manga 101 was without a doubt the funniest thing this series did the entire season. Bafflingly and hilariously incongruous.


noticed this too, but it was still interesting to watch especially considering the raw drawings (reminded me a lot of Full Metal Panic) and the lack of soundtrack.

Yuri bait or not, this show has a lot of subtext and I could get behind a concept like that if it's done properly. I really love Yumiko as a character and wouldn't mind seeing a season 2, and who knows, the romance could develop more if the author wants it to head in that direction

It was nice to see Yasumi did so well on her performance

Damn I was hoping after that little light shin kick that Yasumi would take off a shoe and gently rub her foot up Yuhi's leg xD

Little side note. I think a lot of the time these days seiyuus dont lip sync to the animation, it became more common for the animation to sync to the audio after to give them more flex room on acting. Though likely both methods are used in combination.

The series was ok, a solid 7 but I really liked the first half of the last episode. I sort of wish that the voice acting to the storyboards stuff was done more, because I was probably more invested in that rival death scene than the finales of some recent actually real mecha shows.

In fact, maybe I would've liked it more if they just scrapped this series and made Illusionary Mecha Soldier Phantom instead.

And there was the final radio show. They straight up went for yuri bait lol.

Before we get into the last (sadly) hit of anata no soyuu tokoro hontouni kirai and passive-aggressive compliments I just wanna say it warms my heart that portions of episode 11 were cited to countersignal dub simps.

Maybe extrovert gyaru was the anemic introvert all along except only in the presence of older ladies and no anemia because of a carnivore diet. All it takes is anemic introvert wanting to be "pierced" by extrovert gyaru's "acting" to raise her body temperature which is necessary to get into the role! A new level of method acting. "And this time don't forget the pickles," reminds introvert's perfectionist overachiever dad as he is worried about extrovert's acting energy output. Worries averted as the heat becomes too much even for the older ladies to handle; uhh, I hope their rustling doesn't get picked up by the mike. I always thought everyone got their own booth. Anyway, extrovert is worried about a retake not realizing that everyone has been knocked out by the overwhelming oceanic flow of the full release of her acting energy!! Bro who wanted 120 was not ready for 1000. The animation doesn't exactly fit but we'll fix it for the bluray release as usual! Wait, a 2-cour mecha!? In this economy!??

I'm glad we got to see workaholic' baggy eyes one more time before the end. LIsten up, gyaru and anemia! It's the last episode so I need you two to glaze each other as much as possible so the shippers have something to work with! Normie friend getting all gal pal with extrovert triggers introvert's ntr alarm, time for a "walk home together" request. Wait a minute, the doxing arc's resolution with mom was off-screen this whole time!? All the nerds going "ackchyually the I'm just talking to myself should be a dq" after that episode aged poorly as introvert and her mom did have a heated legal debate over the course of one evening wherein the the former screamed like a banshee!

I don't know what the deal with incognito concert girl who hangs out with well-endowed tsundere pro (also a master of disguise!) was. Did we get her name? I assume workaholic doesn't script the "reactions to letters" portion. Don't say the line- I admire the big ol' tities of extrovert gyaru! Gahh, you'll pay for this anemic introvert, my fated adversary, I'm going to furrow my brow and shake my fist! Mentor bishoujo idol is awe-struck by their love.

To my understanding most of the novels are untranslated but I hope the anime inspires someone to change that so we can reach the stage where (does the tag count as a spoiler in a slow burn?) the "bait" lures out a "bathtub-get-togethers suddenly become more than just awkward" fish. I don't know where I was going with that one.

the voice acting must've been really complicated to pull off, playing a character who plays a character badly well is a nighmare to even think about

and the fact that the manga's tagged as girls love and they think this is yuri baiting is kinda ironic, they have no idea wht awaits them lol

That was a good show, Yumiko struggles, hitting a wall and not knowing how to progress further and then asking Chika for help to deliver a fantastic performance, the the last arc was the best imo and showed us something very relatable in the real world. Least favorite was when the mother of Chika meddled in and wanted her stop acting. Second season please.

"We don´t want to put you under pressure" and then people (specially the Megane-Bot man) remembering her all the time how important is her role and blablabla and the pressure and all this drama about this Phantom anime dragged out for about 5 episodes... oh god...

I was enjoying this anime (7/10), but unfortunately I started waving from bothered to bored in the 2nd half. They dragged it way too much. So now I feel like rating this 6/10 =/

However, in general, better than the average boring and overrated melodramatic shows of the sort. And I didn´t dropped xD which is already something when it comes shows like these ones (VA... Idols...).

Unless in the main source there is more than meet the eyes, I wouldn´t say this is yuri in its true form if you know what I mean. This felt more like a yuri fanservice/bait - at least the fanservice/bait by themselves were better than many other yuri baits out there such as (Euphonium and Lycoris, which backstabs you with some het/straight scenes all of sudden).
