The episode's opener of a Bloom Ball "anime adaptation"...just hearkens me back to Battle Athletess Daiundoukai ReSTART! (which is a terribad show). And that's the focus show of the 16 girls in a voice actress audition for character roles.

I almost forgot to mention this, but all 16 girls are the newly formed idol group AiRBLUE.

It's not easy acting out character lines, even a single mishap can result in NGs for main and support roles, which main roles are hot in competition. This is truly a test to get it right the first time because the original creator, sound engineer and director of the future adaptation are also hearing the voice mix to see which girls fit the characters they're posing. Only a handful are good for the main roles (such as the case with Maika Takatori, and more so for Haruna Mutsuishi) while most of them haven't reached levels worth notable just yet.

The journey to be a Seiyuu is hard, NGL. It takes a lot of effort to stand out from the rest of the pack. But this series has one thing common: boredom.

Where can I watch Bloomball??? We need a dodgeball anime, especially CGDCT dodgeball anime.
In my opinion, Haruna will get a role, maybe together with Maika.

btw, here is the MV of the opening of this 'seiyuu' anime

That opener was hilarious. I want to watch Bloomball! We need a spin-off series. :P

Our cute girls are doing their best to become a great Seiyuu.

Great episode! BLOOMBALL seems pretty fun to be honest. Haruna was asked to voice many character roles-I imagine they are interested in her voice after all that xD. I'm not a fan of Maruyama's very forced chuunibyou personality personally. Doesn't feel like it fits her.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Another average episode.

I think it's weird that they are showing audition scenes to other people who are also auditioning. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's not done in real life VA auditioning.

The direction is pretty solid. I'm actually hyped at this point.
ED song is great.

First auditions sure were nerve-racking for them all, but nice to see them all manage to complete their auditions the best they could

Haruna was super resilient, I'm sure she'll have a good word put forward for her, even if she doesn't get a role in this anime, due to the vocal range and characterisation she pulled off

Hm they sure could do with changing the pacing a little though

Some got better since I last heard them, some don't improve at all.

But man, that OST reminds me of hours of running on auto lol

I think sixteen girls is just a little too much IMO. I want more slice of life stuff, hopefully in later episodes...

Kinda scuffed but still watchable. I think not all of them read the lines. Why skip someone tho? Still gonna finish this anime

Well their first seiyuu audition finally over. Its must be hard and got them nervous for sure. Even the two lively chara can't denied such a rough situations. Then one (or two) of them seems to had more trouble and worrying matter than the rest of them felt. In the end, as a result they sure still need more practices and lessons to complete their va skills. But that experience should be good enough to add to their newly lifes as a seiyuu. But, the first girl (but get auditioned as last) looks like got more chance than the rest. The author even confused to determine whats best to that acting, or for the worst, there's none match her act. Whatever its mean, lets hope the best for their hardwork...

The animation was good and I enjoyed thr episode. Sadly its predictable the mc will most likely get a part in the anime since she was the only one who got to audition for several parts. Kinda hoping I'm wrong just so it seems less of a cliche for the mc to be considered a prodigy.

This episode was really cute and wholesome too. It sure keeps you interested and again I was smiling throughout the duration of the episode.

OP and ED are both really great and fitting for this anime. Visuals and music both are great.

Also I feel like this anime is a bit underrated, I mean it deserves at least a 7 to 7.5 score, both the episodes were quite enjoyable.

Haruna chan is kawai, so are most of the cast of this anime.

Enjoyed this episode a lot. Looking forward to next episode.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

I for one liked this episode. It seems that it was going to be all about voice acting in anime and i got exactly what i expected it to be.

Plus the scene where Haruna voices so many characters is just great.

I think i'm starting to like this anime a bit more. Though i do hope the other cast of characters get also some character development to make things better.

oh that's surprising Haruna was forced to act other roles...i wonder who's that woman from the staff? someone higher than the director? or maybe the Creator already!?!?
5/5.

I'm glad they started their work. BLOOM BALL's main character Hibana was chosen by most of them. And by Haruna by accident, and the manga's writer even wanted to hear more of her in other characters roles.

I'm excited to know who will be chosen. AirBlue has lots of great voices! <3

Love the OP and ED.

Yep, really liking this so far. Pleased to know this project will be 24-episodes long.

Also gotta appreciate the extra effort the studio is putting into the animation department. That Bloomball trailer sure looked nice.

At 4:03 did the assistant said 15 of them? But we have 16 girl right? Or 1 more char will be introduced later? I'm struggling to keep up with all of them 😅

AiRBLUE girls are already doing an audition for a dodgeball anime, it's especially interesting how they really wanted the grey hair one to try that many characters, sure she has some potential but the author wasn't really convinced after all
