| Shit I just kept laughing throughout the audition meeting XD I wonder if it was that messy in real life too.. honestly you always learn something new watching this anime |
 |
| I really thought Shizuka-san was going to get the role, too bad but i think she will end up in that anime somehow. New characters will be coming it seems. 8/10 |
 |
| It broke my heart when I saw that Zuka-chan didn't get the role. I really want her to become more relevant in the series sooner than later, that scene in the store she works in has me rooting for her 100x more than I was already. Seeing her left out is heartbreaking, let her have a chance in the spotlight dammit. T_T |
Will I fall in love someday? I wonder? |
MoeGod said: Having seen similar things, it can be if the wrong people are involved, but not quite that crazy. Still, it's not uncommon for those involved in selecting to focus heavily on less important aspects, including advocating candidates based solely on having personal connections with the agency that employs them.Shit I just kept laughing throughout the audition meeting XD I wonder if it was that messy in real life too.. honestly you always learn something new watching this anime |
| As annoying and pushy as Daisuke Hiraoka is, he still doesn't hold a candle to Tarou in my books. The new guy has been in the industry for 5 years and has amassed enough experience to warrant his arrogance. Tarou on the other hand still does nothing but shirk responsibilities and make messes for others to clean up. Considering destructive/constructive tendencies, Tarou is still the shitz in that department for me. God I nearly teared up for Shizuka when they broke the bad news to her that at least 3 of the four others (not sure about CG girl) are working on the project whilst she's being left out. I tend to agree with the general opinion that something will happen to first choice "Christine" (considering she's waiting on two other offers) and she'll end up getting the part. What will make her selection all the more sweeter is that unlike Midori, who was kinda pre-tested by her working as Diesel-san on Exodus, Zuka would be able to completely say that her (coming) success was all down to her own hard work and not any connections. In fact I have to commend Director-san for once for having a good ear for new talent. Oh, that voice actress selection meeting... took 14+ hours and had soo much politiking that it made me sick. At first I was kinda sold on the guy in the middle being professional due to wanting an actress who can sing properly, as opposed to left-pervert and right-fame-obsessed-idiot, but when he started busting out actresses that were affiliated with his own company, all respect just got thrown out the window at that point. That recommended outsourcing studio seems a bit shady though. Not sure if its the best idea to go with them... |

| damn i really thought she was gonna get the role in fact i thought she was going to be playing 2 characters! so close, :( guess to early to be thinking all of them working on the same project will happen. |
 |
| The aerial girls in this anime is that refers to The fleet girls 'Kancolle' ? |

| Keep fighting Zuka. We all rooting for you. I'll send Miyamori two talking doll to annoy Itou Suzuka so that she will not get the role. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Shizukaaaaa ;u; What did the best girl do to deserve all this? That new character intrigued me a bit... Will we ever see Ochiai again? |

| Hell yeah, Shizuka got noticed! So happy for her! God, those loud people were really annoying. I mean, just go with majority. Glad someone levelheaded was sitting there. God, I feel sorry for these people. Please go with Sakaki... Ah man... Well at least she got conidered. On the other hand, I am happy for Imai. "Please call me Diesel." We all want to be called Diesel, trust me. |
 |
| A 14 hour meeting about voice acting must been stressful, especially dealing with the three stooges on the left. -_- lol Another good and informative episode. Shame that Shizuka didn't get either role for the anime. Hearing that Desk-Chan and Diesel-San (love the nicknames XD) are working on the series must've been a bitter pill for Shizuka to swallow. I hope she gets a minor character role in the series at the very least. =) I'm thinking choosing studio Taitanic to help might not be a good idea, looking at how the insides looks run down and in desperate need of cleaning. I have a feeling that the project might hit a few roadblocks in the future. =/ |
| Well as a newcomer it's good that Shizuka got noticed. Unfortunately, she lost out to experience, but that's just how it is. Once she gets her debut it'll be a bit easier for her. It's great that she's practicing with musicals to gain that speaking confidence. :) Not sure if Taitanic will be reliable. And the new guy is shady. 4 companies in 5 years... that's not necessarily (at all) a good thing, is it? |
| I have a bad feeling about this. Whatever happens, you can do it, Myamori! |
| Oh god some voices during the audition sounded so irritating... Aaaw I'm sad Shizuka didn't get the role :( I thought she would... Anyway Studio Taitanic lol Somehow it's quite a funny name ^^" |
| A pretty strong episode. I couldn't fully enjoy what was definitely a funny scene, because the entire seiyu selection was turned nerve-wrecking by me anticipating Zuka finally getting a role. I think her struggle should resonate with anyone who has had a string of failures in their life and it was really heartbreaking to see her come up short once again. On a side note, the new guy looks intriguing. I wonder what direction they'll take with his character. |
| Funny story, the characters I want to murder with an axe keep multiplying.

In fact I have to commend Director-san for once for having a good ear for new talent. That's a bit unfair though! She got the Exodus research and the first one for Aerial Girls through connections. But she didn't get paid for either one, and yet we're told she did an excellent job. And then her hard work was noticed. So she absolutely got the job due to her own hard work. The fact that she was only able to “audition” due to connections doesn't enter — if we're going that far, Zuka also only auditioned because her agent got word of it (agency probably invited to send a few candidates). Speaking of which — am I the only one thinking Zuka's agent kind of sucks? I mean, clearly she's good, but as far as we know she only did one background noise job. I get the feeling her agent keeps sending her only to regular roles. If she's really good and completely unknown, clearly the way to go would be to flood her with minor character roles, so she can get known by the studios, while at the same time accruing some experience. |
| SHIZUKA I WAS ROOTING FOR YOU !!!!!! You were perfect for Catherine T______T Maybe Itou Shizkua will drop her role and Shizuka will get !!!! Then all the girls will work on the same anime T__T OMG choosing a seiyuu OMG. Man those 3 were only thinking about themselves. Oppai's, dat ass, and selling albums WTF. |
| Lalomartins said: Am I the only one thinking Zuka's agent kind of sucks? Sure sounds pretty obvious now that you mention it! Maybe you should quit your present job and move to Tokyo and become an agent for anime voice actresses! |
| liked the episode... the meeting was so funny, XD ... with those three guys trying to force theirs choice... and the author's agent is also some figure ^^' I hope this "everything is fine" posture of him, don't bring trouble in the future.... I almost can see the author popping up from nowhere and getting upset with the studio, about choices that his agent has authorized ^^' anyway... poor Shizuka... I was thinking that she could get the role this time ç_ç (waiting for some accident with the VA that they chose) |
mangamuscle said: Studio Taitanic, no matter how big your project is, we will sink it in no time! Pretty much seemed like that the moment she walked in, and only got worse once the guy opened his mouth... |
 |
| Those three clients are sure noisy and argumentative. LOL with the client on the left who only thinks of visual prospects of the VA comparing it to a Gravure Idol (always about Oppai and bottoms!). And looks like Sakaki-san is the only one left out of the group that works on the same project. I wonder if Miyamori could persuade Musani in getting also Sakaki-san on the same project with the rest of the main galz. |

Well, she barely missed out this time, but the director has noticed her talent. And this was just the audition for the main girls, she did mention the minor character audition coming up as well, IIRC. There's still a chance. |
| |
| Zuka getting left out. :( |
| I really respect senior seiyuu(s) But give the newbie seiyuu(s) chance too! I mean senior seiyuu(s) once were newbies too!! Yeah! Give the newbies experiences too!! Awww, Zuka :( |
"Signature removed"   |
| Best audition meeting. ''Butts don't talk , you never know!'' :D Nice that Rii will work with Miyamori :) Zuka.. better luck next time ;) |
Tengai said: I was wondering why Miyamori didn't recommend Zuka?? And about this , Miyamori didn't even about Zuka trying in this project. She heard it only in cafe. |
| lol that debate about voice actors is funny as hell, too bad their red hair girl friend did not make it to be a voice actress of the show they are making but im sure some plot twist will come later on |
| Poor Shizuka, she will be the only one left alone... But I have a feeling that one of chosen VA will cancel her job due to unforseen circumstances and Shizuka would get hired. Yet this can happen some time into production when no other viable choices will be free. To me, her Noa voice was a lot better than Catherine though. An okay episode. I felt like that casting talk prolonged a little to much. Hiraoka seems pretty annoying but let's see how he turns out. But it's sure outsourcing to Taitanic animation will be very choice one way or another. Their episodes 5 and 10 could be failures. |
| Episode that partly dispels my doubts about possible déjà vu show yourself horizon previously. Yes, there is the issue of Rii-chan entering the ranks of the MusAni, but the part devoted to the choice of voice actors is so thick realistic that the first point is forgotten in his favor; so overall the episode is as positive criticism. Narratively was engaging and informative, interesting dialogues and new characters have increased my curiosity about the plot; although the new assistant to me is a bit 'obnoxious at first sight. Then with the episode today, are increasingly convinced that the real protagonist is almost Zuka and its tribulations, instead of Miyamori. Although I believe that all this is to increase the pathos before choosing her as a voice actor, voice actor because the official abandon the role for commitments occurred. Do not wait to savor the next episodes. |
 |
| Sad she didn't make it but well it was still a pretty nice episode! |
 |
| Aw man, the audition meeting would have given me a headache. I actually directed something a while back and I was stuck between two actors and had a mini crisis over who to choose. Of course, it wasn't based on their butts or boobs. Shizuka's audition had me thinking she was going to land a part for sure, so close but no go and that left me with a sinking feeling for the rest of the episode. It's good to see the other girls moving up bit by bit though. |
 |
| The scenes at the conference room was comedy at it's finest minutes I haven't had such good and long laughs from a content for a while |
| Ah, i started crying there, and then showing the characters getting teary didn't help |
| That 16 hours long meeting... Being stuck with such self-interested individuals is frustrating, indeed. Poor Shizuka... she was so close. ;_; |
 |
| Jeez those 3 guys were selfish douchebags. Not liking the fact that they still haven't talked with the author especially since the show keeps bringing it to our attention. Definitely not going to end well. |

Well, I came many times to those lol dat argument about VAs... lol @ the guy who's only going after boobs and asses Hiraoka seems like a punk, hope he doesn't bully Aoi or others really hope Shizuka gets a role in that anime somehow... sad to see her being the only one excluded :( |
  |
| Wow manga editors are such idiots, reminds me of the guy in gekkan shoujo. Aw shizuka ): Expecting problems with the author to arise later on. |
