Yui Horie is a Japanese singer and voice actress. She is sometimes affectionately nicknamed "Hocchan" by her Japanese fans. She hosts a radio show called "Horie Yui no Tenshi no Tamago" and is the founding member of the singing group, Aice5. She is one of a handful of Japanese idol voice actors that rose to prominence in the 2000s, whose popularity today has been attributed to their solid experience and long-term interaction with their fan base, as opposed to the contemporary norms of youth and beauty in the entertainment industry. As a result of her ongoing success, she has performed solo at large music venues, such as the Nippon Budokan in 2009 and the Yoyogi National Gymnasium's First Stadium in 2015, each with capacities of approximately 14,000 and 13,000 respectively. Her official fanclub is the "Black Cat Alliance". Some of her notable roles in anime include Naru Narusegawa in Love Hina, Multi in To Heart, Tohru Honda in Fruits Basket, Ai in Dōbutsu no Mori, Ayu Tsukimiya in Kanon, Yuki Cross in Vampire Knight, Miss Monochrome in Miss Monochrome, Minori Kushieda in Toradora!, Tsubasa Hanekawa in Monogatari, Chie Satonaka in Persona 4, Kōko Kaga in Golden Time, Carla in Fairy Tail and Wiz in KonoSuba.
In a world where humans and sapient robots co-exist, someone or something is targeting the seven most advanced robots, killing them off one by one. Even more disturbingly, the same killer seems to be murdering humans as well. Only a supremely powerful robot could be killing the other robots—but all robots are hardwired to be unable to kill humans, with one very important exception. German robot detective Gesicht, who is so advanced as to be nearly indistinguishable from a normal human, investigates the killings in an effort to learn the secret link between the advanced robots and humans being murdered. This is an especially urgent matter for Gesicht, since he's one of the scheduled murder victims... ║ fancast for if the Pluto anime and its dub had been made twenty years earlier. English & Japanese voice options available, professional VAs only, no celebs, and VAs have to have been active during the early 2000s. For an extra challenge if you want it, don't use the cast from the original series (if they were working at the time) or the 2003 Astro Boy anime.
