AWanderingSorcererThis week's #SeiyuuSaturday is a special one, as we're doing our first repeat #Seiyuu. Back again is #InoriMinase (b. 1995), who began voice acting in 2010.
We start this edition in 2016 with one of Minase's most popular roles, the demon maid Rem from #rezero. Having deal with familial tragedies in the past, Rem starts off in the gray zone between ally and enemy for Subaru before becoming a devoted companion, willing to do anything to protect those around her. Minase's performance here is just as important as Yuusuke Kobayashi, ranging from sweet and demure to bloodthirsty and fanatical.
In 2017, Minase explored blooming love in the romantic anthology #tsurezurechildren. As Chizuru, Minase explored the life of a girl who wasn't sure that she was worthy of being loved, even as the red string grew closer to her.
In 2019, Minase played a very different blue-haired magic user as Mei in #endro. Obsessed with the Cartardo system, Mei's stoic fanaticism was well played by Minase, used to characters whose lack of affect only enhances the comedy of their deep desires.
2020 saw Minase in a different world as the noblewoman Shia in #kumakumakumabear. Initially a very haughty girl looking down upon Yuna, Shia quickly becomes a close companion, accentuated by Minase's more-tsundere performance.
We end this edition with last year's romcom #LovingYamadaatLv999. Here, Minase voiced the lead Akane, a mess of a college student whose life suddenly changes upon meeting a stoic high school boy. Minase's performance here is one of her best in years, able to mix the neuroticism of Akane's tendencies with the kindness and care that makes the romance work so well.
CT@AWanderingSorcerer Definitely a modern marvel, who I’ve followed eagerly since Rem times.
I am sad no Meteora mention, however. The fun she was having during that Re:Creators “recap” episode was infectious! 😝
@cthellis I covered Meteora the first time I covered Minase.

Attached: 1 image Going to 2017, we have the meta anime #recreators where Minase voiced the RPG sorceress Meteora. Brought from her world to our own, Meteora was a guide to our main characters in their struggle for survival while providing a lot of snark along the way, codifying a central archetype that Minase has played over the years.
