posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Aniplus-Asia announced on Tuesday that it will air a simulcast of The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio, television anime of writer Kō Nigatsu and illustrator Sabamizore's Seiyū Radio no Ura Omote light novel series. The simulcast will premiere on April 10 at 9:30 p.m. GMT +8. Aniplus-Asia is streaming an English-subtitled trailer for the anime.
The anime stars:
- Miku Itō as Yasumi Utatane/Yumiko Satō
- Moe Toyota as Yūhi Yūgure/Chika Watanabe
- Ikumi Hasegawa as Otome Sakuranamiki
- Nao Tōyama as Yubisaki Mekuru
Hideki Tachibana (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, Chaos Dragon) is directing the anime at CONNECT, and Shoko Takimoto (ORESUKI: Are you the only one who loves me?, Chaos Dragon, Death March to The Parallel World Rhapsody) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. Keiichirō Ōchi (The Quintessential Quintuplets, Girlfriend, Girlfriend) is supervising the series scripts. Keiichi Hirokawa (MONACA) and Kuniyuki Takahashi (MONACA) are composing the music. Miku Itō performs the anime's opening theme song "Now On Air." Itō and Moe Toyota will perform the anime's ending theme song "Stand By You!"
The story follows Yūhi and Yasumi, who are both voice actresses who attend the same high school and are in the same class. They host a radio program together. However, Yasumi is really Yumiko the gyaru (gal) in real life, while Yūhi is actually Chika the quiet girl. They are diametrically opposed in appearance and personality, and they get into fights when they are not on air.
Nogatsu and Sabamizore launched the ongoing novel series in February 2020. Umemi Makimoto launched a manga adaptation in Kadokawa's Dengeki Maoh magazine in March 2020, and ended it in July 2021. The third and final compiled book volume shipped in September 2021.
