Its not very often that we get an anime about the behind the scenes of anime and Im pretty sure its a rarity that we get an anime about the behind the scenes of eroge games or anime. And Im not sure how much of a demand that this niche needed to be filled either but here we are today with Working with Voice Original Title: Koe de Osigoto The Animation which is probably the least interesting name for anything outside of a title for an instructional video.
The story follows Kanna Aoyagi a girl who is asked to become a voice actress for eroge by her older sister on her sixteenth birthday. Kanna doesnt want to become a voice actress at first but after she thinks about all of the things that her sister did for her when she was growing up she finally agrees figuring that she owes her older sister. While she is still very nervous about doing it as the story progresses she becomes more and more comfortable with going through with it. She is helped out by her coworkers and a classmate who also happens to do work on eroge in his spare time.
There isnt any explicit sex scenes or even softcore sex scenes but the main focus of this series still involves sexual content so youre still probably going to avoid watching this just in case your mother or roommate walks into the room.
Surprisingly Koe de Oshigoto is a pretty decent series for what it is. While the story is simple its enjoyable and is weirdly endearing to some extent. It progresses at a decent pace having little extraneous content and the humor is actually not awful. All of the characters are actually likable to a degree. Its not amazing by any stretch but its worth the 3045 minutes it would take to watch this.
Even the production value is pretty good with the animation and art style being nice to look at. I was surprised at how much I liked this because I had low expectations going in. I just wish it had a little more going on in terms of either comedy or story. It felt a little underwhelming in that regard.
Id say that Koe de Osigoto is worth checking out if the subject matter interests you and you have some free time with nothing else going on Its not going to blow your socks off but is still an enjoyable watch.
