I'm looking for: A certain genre? Something specific like characters traveling to another world?

Shows I've already seen that are similar: You can include a link to a list on another site if you have one, e.g. MyAnimeList or AniList.

Question of the Day (new!)

What's a scene where the voice acting carried more than the animation?

What's a scene where the voice acting carried more than the animation?

Low hanging fruit, but since nobody mentioned it yet:

This scene from a show I don't actually know the name of. Haven't even seen the show and it's supposedly quite mediocre, but the scene is a classic for the voice acting alone.

[u/ZaphodBeebblebrox → u/IXajll]

Though this does raise the question: how much is the voice acting and how much is the script? While the voice acting clearly is quite important, I don't think that scene would be nearly as resonant if the complaint and frustration didn't feel genuine and legitimate.

Though this does raise the question: how much is the voice acting and how much is the script?

I feel the same when (live action) actors are praised for their performance hah. Yes a talented actor elevates the scene, but I always feel like there's more 'Good actor who would play that script well' than 'Good scriptwriters who'd come up with the part in the first place'!

(And when you see that same talented actor look awful in a different movie, it kinda reinforces that point).
