Hina Suguta: It’s been three or 4 years between season one and season two recordings, however whereas there’s a little bit of a spot, we’ve seen one another and labored with one another on completely different press occasions or radio speak exhibits. I used to be actually ready in anticipation for season two and was simply so excited to get again into the sales space once more. Once I lastly did, I don’t suppose something modified. The solely factor that actually shifted was my motivation and keenness to do season two, so the one change is a constructive one —  my very own emotions in the direction of my performing. 

Shoya Ishige: Season one was really the primary time we met, so we have been a bit reserved and type of shy at first. There was actually no banter or conversations till about mid-season. Between the three or 4 yr hole, we’ve gotten to know one another by means of the completely different occasions and promotional occasions that we might do. So, I believe having that hole really helped us really feel extra snug for season two. As soon as we bought into the sales space and began recording for the brand new season, we have been already snug with one another, which I believe performed into the performing as properly.

Suguta-san, you reacted in pleasure to our Anime Trending Awards when Marin received Greatest Woman. Do you suppose Marin has an opportunity of successful Greatest Woman once more, contemplating what’s coming within the second season?

Hina Suguta: Completely sure! I’m wanting ahead to it. Excessive hopes! 

How do you every interpret the connection between Marin and Gojo, and the way has that interpretation affected your efficiency within the recording room?

Hina Suguta: So in season one, Marin’s emotions for Gojo slowly developed, and no actual motion was taken on these emotions. She’s simply observing and shedding herself within the relationship and her emotions forming.

In the meantime, season two is when the crush thrives and explodes, and it’s portrayed extra by means of her actions. Marin’s in full-on crush mode versus in season one which is, “Oh, I believe I like him.” The meter simply retains rising.

Shoya Ishige: From Gojo’s perspective, I believe as you see within the anime and the story growth, it’s primarily Marin’s emotions which might be being portrayed and Gojo’s simply doing his finest day-to-day to maintain up with the chaos. It’s extra of a relationship of respect in the direction of Marin than a crush. I believe that’s the distinction between the 2 and the way it affected the efficiency. 

Do you will have any enjoyable tales from the recording room whereas recording for the second season that you can share with us?

Hina Suguta: In season two, there are much more new characters, interactions, and it was just like the extra the merrier. One fascinating factor is that Marin ought to be the heroine, in everybody’s minds it’s like Gojo-kun turned the heroine. It’s just a little tough to clarify, however throughout recording, the audio director would go, “Hey! Our heroine!” to Ishige-san. Due to that, inside everybody’s minds, Gojo turned the heroine.

Shoya Ishige: For season two, there have been plenty of strains from Suguta-san as Marin, which included plenty of completely different feelings. It actually felt like a rollercoaster trip by means of the completely different strains and dialogue, and she or he was extremely praised by Fujita Akiko, who’s the audio director. She took that very gracefully — I loved seeing her being so humble about it, and it was an fascinating expertise to see that performing unfold. 

Because you two each talked about getting recommendation and reward from the audio director, are you able to present us with any insights about voice performing from the sequence that individuals simply is likely to be aware of, like what’s taking place behind the scenes? What sort of recommendation did you get when recording? Did you need to follow or put together a selected approach earlier than recording?  

Hina Suguta: There are such a lot of strategies and completely different sorts of course that I’ve acquired when recording. However particularly for Marin, she will get actually excited, and when she will get excited, she talks actually quick. When she will get enthusiastic about one thing or has tunnel imaginative and prescient about one thing, all of it falls beneath the umbrella of pleasure. I’ve acquired plenty of course on learn how to add completely different layers and nuance to that very same emotion, and with that recommendation, I’d take that house, follow, and recite these strains again and again so I may mainly document with my eyes closed. 

Shoya Ishige: In season one, Gojo is extraordinarily introverted, so there was plenty of course primarily based on emotional stability, equivalent to how a lot to painting and the way a lot to maintain inside [of him].

Nevertheless, in season two, I believe Gojo has discovered to be a bit extra expressive and cozy along with his feelings. I’ll nonetheless get instructions to, “Tone it all the way down to elementary fifth-grader degree,” one thing very particular from the director to type of keep the pure and harmless a part of Gojo, whereas being extra expressive than season one.
