me watching kakegurui for the first time: "i recognize yumeko's voice! ill look it up! i already knew that midari, killua, and ray have the same va (Mariya Ise) and kirari and kurapika also have the same va (Miyuki Sawashiro), so maybe itll make sense!"
Miyuki Sawashiro as Daki was an amazing piece of voice work. I binged the "Entertainment District" arc of "Demon Slayer" earlier this week and I got to the scene where Gyutaro accepts Ume (Daki)'s decision to go to hell with him. The emotion in Sawashiro's voice, crying as Ume while Gyutaro carries her into the flames was like a gut punch.
There are a lot of great voice acting moments in the anime, but that one really sticks out to me. I think I might have cried more during that scene than when Kyoujurou died.
Continued animation of this series is probably going to kill me...I know for certain Infinity Castle is gonna be painful. Great, but painful.
I learned from the freaking credits that best girl, cutest moe Makimura Makoto is voiced by Miyuki freaking Sawashiro aka Fujiko! Who is probably my favourite voice actress for her voice usually being very "step on me" badass and deeper than usual ladies.
Summary: A compilation film containing a recap of the 2019 anime adaptation, a prequel story focusing on Tohru Honda's parents, and an epilogue written specifically for the film.
Beautiful to look at with decent voice acting. However, likely to alienate newcomers, and opening is incredibly rushed.
