Koe de Oshigoto 1-2:
I am going to get so much mileage out of this screengrab.
EmmanuelMunoz told me that I would enjoy this if I enjoyed all the saliva and finger-licking in MGX. I took his recommendation.
As promised, there was saliva. Lots and lots and lots of saliva. Spit
everywhere. And there's a perfectly good reason for this: the OVA is about Kanna, a sixteen-year-old girl who gets roped into the eroge business as a seiyuu by her older sister even though she knows nothing about sex. She uses her own finger (and sometimes other peoples' fingers) to practice.....uhh........certain scenes.
You gotta earn your keep, girl, so we're turnin' you out into the porn industry!
These two episodes were basically an hour of a cute girl saying embarrassing things while thinly-censored pornographic visualizations give life to her words.
And the censorship? Rainbow johnnies.
Rainbow. Johnnies.
All of the visualizations are pretty much uncensored except for this single curious alteration. I was really just expecting an hour of girls saying dirty things into a microphone, but the sheer amount of really generic eroge sex that occurs on screen took me by surprise. None of it was particularly titillating, and while I found that it detracted from the experience for me, I suppose not everyone will find the voice acting to be enough to hold their interest.
Statements like this are a huge warning sign that you're about to watch something pretty fucked up.
I...uhh...really don't have much to say. I have a feeling that Koe de Oshigoto
reeeeeeeeally doesn't reflect the realities of the eroge industry, though I'd be lying if I claimed to actually know anything about it. All of the company's employees seemed too well-adjusted and clean-cut for their line of business, but this is anime, I suppose, and in the eyes of an otaku it's kind of a dream job.
I was fairly amused at the lengths to which Kanna's sister went to ensure that her line delivery was perfect because of how bad English VA is for low-budget Japanese games, even if the comparison between eroge and localized JRPGs isn't really analogous. I imagined similar scenes playing out in the offices of XSEED and NISA and laughed at the absurdity of someone actually giving a shit about the quality of voice work. Maybe eroge VA really is srsbns to Japanese gamers and the companies involved in producing these games.
I can't really offer a resounding recommendation of Koe de Oshigoto to anyone. If you're perv enough (or if you blindly accept recommendations from EmmanuelMunoz) you'll probably watch it on your own eventually anyway.
Mr. Munoz said that he'd accept a recommendation from me in exchange for my watching this, so I've tasked him with watching
Re: Cutie Honey. I'm holding him to this!
Also, if any of this is going to get GAF nuked by Google Ads, let me know or just make necessary edits if you're Hito/duckroll.
