*Comments are generally posted with an emphasis on the text posted.
・Kirakirakyu is so cute and I love it (40s, female)
・The fact that she is an idiot stands out in the harsh worldview of the work is soothing (male, 30s)
・She has an innocent and pure personality and plays the role of a younger sister, and I think she is the most suitable moe character for Hidaka-san. (Male, 30s)
・It was a good musical piece, but Kurumi formed a band towards the end, so I hope they’ll continue this in season 2. (Female, 20s)
- She is the sister of Sid in the other world where he is reincarnated. She is usually in a bad mood, has a stern expression that makes it look like Sid is always glaring at those around him, and pretends to be unreliable. Although she feels sorry for him, she realizes that Sid is actually hiding his true abilities, and wants those around him to properly acknowledge him.
She’s a very good big sister, but her love for her brother goes too far. She has a crazy personality, and shows obvious hostility towards the heroines who approach her. Hidaka’s downer voice, squeezed to the limit, is a performance that is the very image of Claire, a big sister who is a mass of awe and passion. (Male, 30s)
When the show first started, I watched it without knowing which voice actor would be playing which role, but when Hardgore Alice appeared, I knew right away that it was Hidaka-san because the voice actor playing her character had a distinctive low voice.
When Ako appeared transformed into Alice, I didn’t realize it was Hidaka because her voice was so thin and sad, so faint that it seemed to fade away, unlike any of the girl characters that Hidaka had played up until then, something I had never heard before.
I was simply moved by Ako’s wonderful acting, which conveyed her strong-willed, brave personality and fragility so vividly that it was painful to watch. Hidaka’s range of expressiveness was truly amazing. (Male, 40s)
・Nico appeared as the heroine in episodes 8 to 12 of the anime.
At first, she was introduced as the cute cousin of Saito Tomoko, and captured the hearts of fans of the younger sister attribute around the world, who thought the new heroine was the younger sister type. Later, it was revealed that she was actually the second Red King, Scarlet Rain, and Kozuki Yuniko (nicknamed Nico).
Nico is not a cute younger sister cousin, but the leader of a rival organization and a senior to Accelerator, a cheerful, bright, and slightly foul-mouthed girl in a complicated position where she is younger but mentally older than Accelerator. In battle, she drives her Immobile Fortress and does long-distance sniping with great force.
Her transformation from a cute little sister to a tough guy is the most shocking in the story, and will surely grab your heart and pierce it. Furthermore, she also has a very sensitive girly side, which is very charming.
In the original work, she has more opportunities to interact with the main characters and there is also a scene where she confides how she felt when she first appeared in the anime, making her a very heroine-like character.
I would love to see a sequel to the anime. I’m still waiting for the announcement of the second season.
Now, Nico is actually the first character for voice actress Rina Hidaka to play that involves significant combat, and she later revealed that she had a lot of trouble playing the role.
Nowadays, it’s not uncommon for a female character to play a fighter, but Nico is the character at the origin of this. As a fan, she is a character I definitely want to keep in mind.
If you haven’t seen it yet, please take this opportunity to watch it. I’m sure you’ll notice the charm of Nico and Rina Hidaka. (Male, 20s)
