As anime fans, many of us have imitated some of our favorite characters, thinking we could voice them. Although in reality, that goal is too far for most of us, we might be able to live in that alternate world through the upcoming CUE! anime.
The series is based on a smartphone simulation game where the player has to train and manage voice actors. Although the anime adaptation doesn’t quite go that route, it still gives us a glimpse into the lives of upcoming voice actors.
The official website for the CUE! anime has released a new promotional video for the upcoming series. The anime will premiere in January 2022.
Haruna Mutsuishi, the main character, enters AIRBLUE Studios, in the PV, where she is about to make her debut as a voice actress. We also get our first look at the rest of the main cast as the studio’s head explains how a voice actor should perform.
