[Eng Sub] Heaven Burns Red Half Anniversary Party! Reading Drama

[@nanakadog]

This is the Half-Anniversary event of HBR held in July 2022. (Many mobile games often hold Half-Anniversary events in addition to their regular Anniversary events.) By the way, at this point in time, Chapter 4 had not been released yet. This video features a popular segment from the (Half-)Anniversary event-a dramatized reading. It uses a script specially written by Maeda Jun. It really shows how incredible 31A's voice actors were. 2:45 What they are referring to here is the string of four-character idiomatic expressions listed in the video description. It’s nearly impossible to capture their nuance in translation. 3:48 They’re not just saying it’s “terrifying” here; they use a stronger expression roughly meaning “fcking terrifying.” The word “kuso” (“fcking”) is something Otama-san often uses, which is amusing given her cute appearance. 4:10 I believe the mePad updates hadn't begun yet at this point, but it receives occasional updates based on special mission requirements. 5:30 The man who’s always wearing short sleeves is Mr. Kakinuma, the producer of HBR. Later on, he even becomes the CEO of GREE, the parent company of WRIGHT FLYER STUDIO. He’s very popular among the players. Incidentally, the AI known as KETSU (ASS) is also quite popular with players. 9:00 In general, many voice actors don’t want their faces seen while they’re performing, regardless of what they’re saying. There are veteran voice actors who believe they shouldn’t appear in public at all, reflecting the historical view that voice acting was originally a behind-the-scenes job. And many are concerned that having their faces associated with their acting could break the audience's image of the character or make it harder for viewers to stay immersed. Sakura Ayane-well-known from Key productions-is one such person. Meanwhile, Serizawa Yuu, who has been active for over a decade as part of the idol group i☆Ris and regularly appears in public, still takes great pride in her voice acting work, so it seems she too may have some reservations about having her face out there too much.

@nanakadog The last explanation was eye-opening for me. I heard from other places that "Recent years, seiyuu appeared more on the shows", so that's why they use the word "recent years". I just thought that was better because they could become more famous and get paid more. And maybe because I see seiyuu as an actor (kinda like an actor in Hollywood films) not just someone who voiced the character, so I don't have weird feelings when seeing their face associated Thank you as always ゲーム内のシナリオで「最近、クソ言うキャラ多いな」っていじってるのに Fcking 入れ忘れるなんて悔しい😂

柿P(柿沼)の説明についてだけど、「GREE」ではなく「GREE Entertainment」のCEOだよ。

I'm always impressed to watch VA acting exactly like the game

[@grexion2633]

Thank you so much for translating this! I appreciate the work you put into it

[@tomato6765]

man this is peak, their voice range is so large and the way they handle those high pinch voices like day to day talk is pure skill. and they are having fun too.

[@s981318]

You can see the audience laugh vigorously. LOL

[@SMKurama]

Feels nice to finally have more people checking out this game after the global release! Come to JP if you can't wait for more content! Currently we're having fun with Kanade and the others from Angel Beats!

AY YO KETSU WHAT IS YOU DOING

[@yoursonisold8743]

When KETSU self-destructed I knew it had to be a dream. Yukki will never get rid of that thing lol

[@actrouse]

I like how Yuki just immediately thought of Ruka after waking up from that wacky-ahh dream

[@Shadowmiiku]

@@actrouse Ruka did the same in one of the events too. Yes Yuki did wake her, but it does seem like these two always want to share new stuff with each other that they experience seperately. 😊

[@tripleaces659]

I am seriously want to see Teheperinko Yamero scene enacted in real life now 😂

[@Zxaparts]

[@mwx5314]

Legendary va's right there.. thank you very much Vaweeb for the english translations.. love this.. Oy, Tama!!! i miss megumin.. haha.. is there a video of All the 31-A doing a reading like this?

[@Vaweeb]

yeah, it sure existed, you can watch it on JP official channel, readers theater is part of every anniversary live stream. for translation, it'll be the video after the next

[@mwx5314]

@@Vaweeb jp channel has no translations tho.. they dont care about global.. i will just wait on your translations haha.. thanks for all the hard work..

[@ryana5435]

Cuz the dev WFS only runs JP/KR/TW channels, EN channel is ran by Yostar. That’s why WFS doesn’t care about “global”

[@mwx5314]

@@ryana5435 thats not an excuse, in this day and age, thats just plain UNPROFESSIONAL..
