I thought this was only gonna be a short anime, but it's still okay as a full 25-minute per episode.

I loved this. It had a sort of "Lucky Star" vibe, yet it was actually a bit more entertaining. And the idea is so fresh *^*!

I'm torn. I want to know more about seiyuu (why not just translate it to "voice actor"?) work but the first episode felt like a half-baked Shirobako episode. Characters are not natural but more "archetypy" and obviously moe (high school girl and kawaii ichigo girl, come on), segments with the talking puppet also lack in narrative flow. It feels like someone at Gonzo watched Shirobako, then realized it sold and decided that's the way to revive the studio. Throw in some Evangelion and huzzah, we're ready to get those BDs selling. It's not bad, but I think I'll also wait for more episodes to come out and read more reviews about this one before deciding to hop into story.

This was a god first episode. It was fun to watch and both the OP and ED are awesome. Can´t wait to see more of it.

Obviously inspired by Shirobako... but oh gawd they tried way too hard to make the characters moe.. chibi, klutzy, and all that cutesy crap.
Not so much cute as it was annoying. And semi-forced dramatic scenes...

It does cover some aspects of being a seiyuu that I like (greetings, seating, variety of people), but it makes me kinda cringe... We'll see where this goes.

Zankoku na Tenshi was a nice surprise. Best part of the episode imo. XD

It was alright, but I'm not continuing.
The characters are too "fluffy" for me and uninteresting. I started skimming around the 7 minute mark.
One thing I really liked though was that Masako Nozawa played herself. That was a nice touch.

I want a Ruka Suirenji


and for those who does not know this was a manga created by the voice actress of Risa Asakaze of Hayate no Gotoku and Hata Kenjiro the mangaka of Hayate no Gotoku before Shirobako was out.

I hate MC girl btw. Her character is annoying and her character design is awful. It's probably intentional to fit her rookie archetype, but I hate it.

Better than I expected! It's pretty fun learning about seiyuus.

I don't have much of a problem with the girls being a bit moe.

Loved that ed...slipped in one of my favourite anime songs of all time <3

I'm not sure why it has such a low score from this first episode. It was fun, interesting and although it resembles Shirobako a lot, it focus on voice acting and I'm sure a lot of us are interested in that particular side of anime. Ichigo is such a cuttie and Futaba's senpai is just gorgeous.

It was quite nice and enjoyable. I hope it'll stay light-hearted.

I'm also fairly sure we'll have a different extract of a famous anime song for each ED. This week was Evangelion, what's next? :3

'just get over yourself already' was all I could think halfway through about futaba, she really was annoying...I kinda agree with that collegue of her if you can't get one line right (let alone one single word before that) you shouldn't be doing the job....
The doll does explain a lot about how the seiyuu work goes though, yes (like the Shirobako bear & goth loli doll did), but I wish she wouldn't have spend pretty much half the episode greeting people...

Goku's seiyuu was a pleasant suprise though, I quite liked that :D I love that old lady voicing the strongest in the universe xD

The ED with evangelion zankoku na tenshi remix was awesome.

Definitely loved that Evangelion shout out. I wasn't going to watch this series but the first episode was much better than I thought. I like that the other seiyu aren't all nice or all mean but have different personalities.

This is riding a bit too much on Shirobako's success. I mean, a doll... just like in that anime. And it monologues... Wish it could be more original in that aspect.

Apart from this, I pretty much loved it. It got such a good, realistic atmosphere. I am in. I am definitely in. Ichigo is waifu-material btw, so cute.

The ED is very different, so many different genres. Love it. The OP is very nice, too.

This show will be good, I found some similarities with Shirobako. For example at the episode 23 of Shirobako when Zuka came in the "studio" to introduce herself before the audition, the same thing happened here but in the other side.
I will love this show, nice first episode.

An okay episode.

That guy is an ass but he got a point. But don't let it get to you and don't give up!
It doesn't matter if this anime is following Shirobako's footsteps, in fact I like there's another anime that's about the anime indusry in a less serious tone.

This is the Shirobako of the VAs. But more centered to VAs.
did I just hear Goku's voice from Nozawa?

Pretty decent and watchable. I like the fact it isn't about a bunch of girls going to school and their everyday life or something similar that's already seen a bazillion times before. Anime about lives of voice actors is, if nothing, refreshing and a nice change from many unoriginal slice of life premises.

The MC is also likable, as well as Ichigo and that little girl. This has some potential.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

It was a nice start although the excess of comedy the used regarding Futaba's nervousness felt a bit annoying for moments. But that aside, I really enjoyed it.

The extra information about how things in a recording studio works was also nice.

And the ED with them singing Evangelion's OP was unexpected but great nevertheless :D I hope they sing a different song each time an episode ends.

Too much moe for me. However, after seeing a few VA radio shows, I can see why it's so fluffy.

The ED song is actually about the three of them doing a VA radio show. Apparently, in these radio shows the VA's take requests to sing songs, and that's how the Evangelion theme ends up in the ED! :

"Let's read our letters!
'Hello to everyone in Earphones!
...
"Okay! We have a request! Oh, this one's a well-known song.
From Neon Genesis Evangelion, A Cruel Angel's Thesis!"

"OK, let's keep going!"

The episode did not convince me at all even though there was a considerable effort on the part of the narrative to make people laugh with funny moments and situations, but they were not entirely sufficient; maybe it's my fault that he wasn't in the mood, or it was the character designs I didn't like at all, but the element that convinced me to continue it was the ending, perhaps because during it the protagonists sang a piece of the opening by EVA, fantastic!

Just watched this today and I like that they included that Seiyuus have to actually choose clothes that do not make a lot of noise since the mic picks up on it.

Nice reality touch there. Actually, a lot of this episode is quite true int he industry. I wonder why the score is so low... They even made some of the characters look like their seiyuu...

As much I like Rie Takahashi's voice normally, the energetic nature of her character made this episode a real struggle for me to make my way through. I just about managed it, but this is as far as I'll be going with it as I can't bring myself to stomach 13 episodes of flustered Rie Takahashi obsessing over being respectful to everyone and panicking every 30 seconds.
