Hello everyone, and welcome back to Seiyuu Guess! Our host for this game is Shizuka, a rookie seiyuu who's still learning the tricks of the trade! She's been provided with a description, image, and clip of a certain character, and it's up to you to help her figure out who voices them.




Like all witches her age, this girl has set forth on a journey to find a new town, where she must live and train her magical powers for a year. She's excited to find a beautiful city by the sea - the perfect place! After getting settled, she starts her own delivery service in order to earn some cash and practice her flying skills. She's helped along the way by some friendly locals, including a warmhearted baker, a boy obsessed with aviation, and a quirky yet encouraging artst. Let's hear the clip...

Listen to the clip here!

"Lift up your head a little. Look beyond the horizon. Don't move. Very good. Painting and magical powers seem to be very similar. Sometimes I can't paint a thing."
"You really mean it? Then what happens?"
"Don't move! Don't look over here."
"Without even thinking about it I used to be able to fly. Now I can't even begin to remember how I ever managed to do it."
"At times like that, you know what I do? Paint. That gets rid of my frustrations."
"But still, if I can't fly..."
"Then I just stop. Take long walks, look at the scenery, doze off at noon. Don't do a single thing. Then, suddenly, you'll be able to fly again."
"Maybe that'll help."
"Trust me. It'll happen. Come on, don't ruin the pose."

...

"When I was your age, I'd already decided to become an artist. I loved painting. I even painted in my sleep. Then one day, for no reason, I became unable to paint. So I painted and painted some more, but none of it was any good. They were copies of paintings I'd seen somewhere before. Just copies of ones I'd seen somewhere. I swore I'd paint my own pictures."
"That must've been hard."
"But after that...it's not much easier now. I think I found what painting means, at least for me. To fly, you don't chant a spell or something, right?"
"Mm-hmm. We fly with our spirit."
"The witch's spirit? Perfect! That's what I'm talking about. The spirit of witches. The spirit of artists. The spirit of bakers! I suppose it must be a power given by God. Sometimes you suffer for it."
"I guess I never gave witchcraft much thought. That talk about discipline and training was so old-fashioned. I was so happy that you came all that way to see me. If I had been alone tonight, I would've been one giant ball of frustration."
"There have been many times I've thought of painting over that painting."
"Why? It's so beautiful."
"You know, when I saw you today, I looked at your sad face and thought, 'I've found it!' I knew I could paint you."
"But that's not fair!"
"All's fair in love and art. Let's go to sleep."
"Okay."

Tell Shizuka the character's name, their seiyuu, and what film they're from for six random cards! If you can also name the seiyuu of the other character that's speaking in the clip, you'll receive an additional 3 cards! Hint: the answer is closer than you might think!
