Anime rating game

In mid-April, an anime promotion event hosted by Musashino will begin.

At this moment, many audience members took their places in the venue, looking at the curtain on the stage with anticipation.

At this moment, many people were also sitting in front of their televisions in many homes.

"Judging from the schedule, there should only be four Musashino anime series airing this season, so why is the Oreimo production team here too?"

"It's obvious that the two companies are collaborating."

"Wasn't Masamune-kun's crush his distant cousin, Shiina Mashiro (Shirobako's backstory)? How come he's fallen for someone else?"

"No, Adagaki is the official pairing, right? Besides, the script for this anime was written by Masamune-kun, so it's normal for them to promote it together."

"Masamune-kun cheated on his wife."

From her seat at the very front of the room, Hayase Kinue glanced back at the group of otaku chatting and clenched her fists.

After I get home today, we have to have a family meeting.

If Zongjun really did cheat on his wife, he must be seriously criticized.

Although Aiki is quite pretty, Mashiro is already sleeping in the same room with him, and he has talked to Mashiro's mother on the phone more than once about the wedding date. Being a womanizer is absolutely unacceptable!

While I was lost in thought, music suddenly started playing.

The next moment, the curtain rose, and a girl dressed in blue, with light blue hair and a short sword at her waist, walked out holding a microphone.

Behind him, a group of people wearing various monster costumes walked out with great momentum.

"Huh...? Umaru."

Because she had been coming to visit frequently these days, Hayase Kinue was very familiar with her and recognized her at a glance.

At this moment, what amazes people more is her current look.

Although he is taller than Rimuru in the anime, his light blue hair doesn't look dyed at all. Combined with his clothes and outstanding appearance, he does bear a resemblance to Rimuru.

"Hello everyone, I am Umaru Doma, the voice actor for Rimuru, the protagonist of the anime 'That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime'."

"Many people probably know me from the show 'Himouto! Umaru-chan' that aired last October."

"However, today I am Rimuru."

"Of course, I don't have the superpower to transform, nor can I transform into a slime. I can only appear before everyone in Rimuru's humanoid form..."

After a brief introduction, Umaru started singing the anime's opening theme.

Meanwhile, on the screen behind them, an animated clip from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime began to play.

Unlike the opening sequence, this video was edited by Musashino staff using materials provided by Umaru herself.

Because the results were unexpectedly good, proposals arose within Musashino to change the opening theme and have Umaru take charge of the production guidance for the opening theme.

However, since Umaru is a high school sophomore and needs to continue her studies, and as a part-time employee, her working hours are limited, the proposal has to be put on hold for the time being.

"Thank you everyone! See you in an hour! I'll be the last group to change into a new outfit and come back on stage then."

Back in the backstage dressing room, standing in front of the vanity mirror, Doma Umaru played with her light blue hair, marveling at it repeatedly.

"Wow, that's amazing! You can't see any trace of dyeing at all; it looks like this color was born this way."

"It's a pity I'm not the voice actress for Konosuba, otherwise I could cosplay Aqua once. Her character song is pretty good too."

At that moment, Masamune's voice sounded behind her:

"If you need to cosplay other characters, feel free to contact me anytime."

"Mr. Masamune."

Doma turned around and said excitedly:

"Your superpower is amazing! You can even change other people's hair color."

"It didn't work at first."

Masamune smiled and explained:

"When I first got this superpower, I could only change the color of my hair all over my body. I don't do cosplay, so it was completely useless."

"But after continuous training, my range of abilities and duration of action gradually improved until a few days ago when I was able to apply them to other people."

"Hmm... So superpowers can be trained and evolved. In that case, with proper training, my glowing ability can also become even more powerful."

Doma Umaru nodded repeatedly, then suddenly realized what he was doing, blushed, and asked in a voice barely above a whisper:

“Mr. Masamune, not only my hair, but my eyebrows have also turned a light blue color.”

"Then...the rest of my body...cough...! I didn't say anything, forget about it quickly."

Masamune chuckled, "Didn't you bring this up yourself?"

However, it is indeed a bit awkward to start a discussion on this topic.

“I tried using Tomoyo’s hair before. Each time I helped someone change their hair color, it could last for about an hour.”

"When the time is up, I'll help you transform again so that it can stay in place and you won't suddenly change back on stage."

“I see, no wonder it’s an hour apart.” Doma Umaru said thoughtfully.

"I had actually thought about having each group take half an hour and perform three to four acts, but I felt that this wouldn't be very effective for promotion. Each group would have 15 minutes and perform two acts, rotating every hour, which would also help retain the audience."

"That's true. After all, some viewers only like one particular anime, and they leave after watching that anime's performance."

"Yeah. But now that the anime Oreimo has been added, it's become a 75-minute rotation."

"It's okay, it's good to rest a little longer."

Doma Umaru paused for a moment, looked towards the doorway, and hesitantly asked:

"How is Grey? She agreed to have her hair turned blonde, but she was somewhat resistant to it when she went out this morning."

"I didn't ask that. Shall we go take a look together?"

"That's fine, anyway, there's still more than an hour before my next performance."

Because they were in different lounges, Doma Umaru had no idea about Gray's current situation.

Following Masamune to another lounge not far away, I was startled by the scene inside as soon as I entered.

The Tohsaka sisters and Shirou Emiya, dressed in school uniforms, and Illya, dressed in casual clothes, were all dressed the same as they were usually seen.

However, although Ilya is dressed in a more mature style, her temperament is completely different from the Ilya in the animation, giving people the feeling of "a child wearing adult clothes".

Meanwhile, Gray's blonde hair was tied up with a blue ribbon at the back of her head, and her emerald green eyes were staring straight at them. The exquisitely crafted Excalibur in her hand was dragging on the ground because it was too heavy.

Even though she sees Grey every day, her changed hair color and hairstyle still startled Umaru.

That posture was exactly the same as the public's perception of Artoria.

If Saber really existed in real life, she would definitely look like this.

"Grey, you're so beautiful! How about you strike a pose with your sword?"

"can."

Grey gripped her sword, instantly slicing through the air as she swung it forward.

"Wow...! So handsome!" Umaru Doma quickly took a picture.

"Could the historical King Arthur really be Artoria?" Rin Tohsaka murmured to herself.

“Very likely.” Sakura Tohsaka nodded gently.

Soon after, when the promotional team for the anime "Fate/stay night" took the stage, countless cheers erupted in the audience.

Meanwhile, a cosplay craze has swept the internet.

Chapter 300 This is what professionalism is all about.

"like..."

How exactly do you cosplay someone so realistically?

In front of the television, Takimoto Hifumi watched intently as several boys and girls sang on the screen.

She knew perfectly well that Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka were the same people, so she didn't pay too much attention to it.

But Gray is different. As the exclusive voice actress for Saber, whom Musashino specially invited from England because of her similar appearance, it's actually no different from cosplay.

However, the similarity is so striking that it's almost as if Artoria herself has appeared in the world.

'Appearance, hairstyle, hair color, and overall demeanor—these should all be solvable with makeup, right...?'

Out of personal interest, she often does cosplay and frequently attends anime conventions in her spare time.

She had thought about cosplaying Artoria when the manga was released two years ago, but she had to put it on hold because she couldn't buy the costumes online and didn't have time to make them herself.

And now, watching Grey singing on the TV screen, that thought resurfaced in my mind.

At the same time, he silently pondered the relevant details.

'How did you do Grey's hair? It doesn't look like a wig at all.'

'Speaking of which, her hairstyle is exactly the same as Artoria's. So, is it dyed hair?'

'But the dyed blonde hair wasn't bright enough, the color wasn't natural enough, and the luster was poor.'

'Her beautiful blonde hair must be from a special hair dye.'

'Clothing is also crucial. Gray's outfit is exquisitely crafted, and the sword doesn't look like plastic; it's probably made of alloy, and the texture is noticeably different from plastic toys.'

While she was pondering, Grey and the others had already left the stage. Takimoto Fumi subconsciously took out her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then put it down again.

I hesitated for more than a minute before finally sending a text message.

[Grey, where did you get your hair dyed? I want to dye it blonde too (emoticon).]

......

Back in the lounge, after changing into casual clothes, Gray's phone suddenly beeped with a text message notification. She instinctively picked up her phone.

Rifumei?

The head of the character design team at Flying Eagle Leap Games, he and his partner knew each other when they were doing voice acting for the game, but they didn't have much contact.

Grey thought hard for a while before she remembered who she was.
