The TV anime "Seiyu radio no ura omote" has released its second preview video, showcasing the lively and conflict-filled world of voice actors through its characters. The anime, set to air on April 10, follows the encounter of two very different classmates—Yumiko Sato, a genuine girl who plays Yasumi, and Chika Watanabe, a reserved and modest girl who plays Yūgure Yūhi—as they navigate the challenges of voice acting while co-hosting a radio show. Despite their contrasting personalities and appearances, they grapple with their professional ambitions and personal growth.
The video offers a glimpse into the characters' journey in the voice-acting industry, highlighting the dynamic interactions and internal conflicts they face. Alongside the video, comments from the voice actors of the main roles were released: Ikumi Hasegawa, the voice of Otome Sakuranamiki, a sort of mentor to Yasumi, and Nao Toyama, who plays Saku Mekuru, a senior voice actor at Yūhi's agency. Hasegawa expressed fascination with how deeply the story delves into the world of voice acting, finding it both challenging and captivating, while Toyama described her character Mekuru as thoroughly professional, hinting at the intense dialogue scenes viewers can expect.
The series is based on a novel by Fumikō Fumi, which won the Grand Prix at the 26th Dengeki Novel Awards and ranked first in the Light Novel category of "Reading Meter of the Year 2020." The story revolves around the double lives of Yasumi and Yūhi, who are classmates but display contrasting personalities on and off their radio show.
