Fantasista Doll
A new original anime series “Fantasista Doll” began broadcasting on July 6, 2013 on the MBS, TOKYO MX and BS11 TV
stations in Japan. The creative producer for the series is Goro Taniguchi, known for his work as director of “s-CRY-ed,” “Planetes” and “Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.” In this new series, the story surrounds Uzume Uno, a young student and former champion of a trading card game competition. She is entrusted with a special device containing five powerful Fantasista Dolls. The dolls are sentient virtual beings that reside within the cards, which now are controlled by their new master, Uzume. By playing the cards in different combinations, Uzume can equip the “Sistas” with an amazing variety of costumes and weapons.
Interview with voice actress Ayaka Ohashi (Uzume Uno)
TJ: Can you give us a quick background on your character Uzume Uno?
OHASHI: Uzume is a girl in eighth grade. She is extremely normal, bright and very honest. Her sense of justice is a little strong.
TJ: During the voice over sessions, did anything interesting or embarrassing happen?
OHASHI: In one scene, I had to say, “Thank you,” but my stomach made a loud sound as I said the words. My stomach often makes loud sounds!
TJ: What was the process for coming up with a personality for this character?
OHASHI: Because she is a girl with lively reactions and her expression changes quickly, I put the emotion clearly in my mind and act as naturally as possible. tj
