Work-based slice-of-life anime has seen a boom in popularity over recent years due to the success of series like Shirobako or Hansaku Iroha. Girlish Number, detailing a rookie seiyuu’s venture into the industry, follows along the same vein. With a heavy dose of cynicism fueling the show’s comedic elements, we see a glimpse into the world of voice acting not touched on by similar shows like Sore Ga Seiyuu (Seiyuu’s Life). This realistic approach and almost polarizing view of the medium goes on to create an experience unlike any other. The fact that Girlish Number’s character roster is lovable and diverse only winds up honing in on that even more.
