KyoAni has a history of using unknown voice actors that later become superstars, and I think K-ON probably has more of those than any of their other shows do. However, while Yoko Hikasa is amazing for the strength of her voice and the power of her performances, Aki Toyosaki has, IMO, surpassed her. I didn't think too much of her back in her early days of voice acting. She had a bit of an annoying voice, and she often played cutesy characters I didn't really care for. Since then, however, she's shown an incredible range. I often don't even recognize her and am shocked when I check the VAs for the show after. Altair in Re:Creators was another of those examples, and quite possibly her best role yet. She conveys a quiet intelligence throughout the show, infused with a smoldering hatred that lets you know just how contemptuous she is of the creators, and climaxes with some incredible emotional scenes as well. RC had a couple of my very favorite vocal performances of the year, with even many of the minor roles being done in unusual or interesting ways, but Aki Toyosaki's Altair was the best of them. --- http://i.imgur.com/l7xxLh1.jpg PSN/Steam - RoboQuote ; NNID - TazzyMan ...
