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.
