Kaguya-sama Love Is War: An Animecore Fan Dub
Project Overview
WHAT IS THIS?
This is going to be a fanmade dub of the anime series, Kaguya-sama: Love Is War. If this does alright we'll do Season 2. We'll be doing our best to capture the feel and the energy of the official series dub.
For those of you unfamiliar with the premise: In the senior high school division of Shuchiin Academy, student council president Miyuki Shirogane and vice president Kaguya Shinomiya appear to be a perfect match. Kaguya is the daughter of a wealthy conglomerate family, and Miyuki is the top student at the school and well known across the prefecture. Although they like each other, they are too proud to confess their love, as they believe whoever does so first would "lose" in their relationship. The story follows their many schemes to make the other one confess or at least show signs of affection.

The Narrator is an incorporeal, omnipresent, and omniscient being who narrates the anime. The Narrator is notably witty and comical, accompanied by a casual, albeit unhinged, way of speaking. He can sometimes be heard stifling his laughter over the ridiculous situations presented, commenting on the story's structure, and making frequent pop culture references. He is very invested in the story, declaring who his favorite characters are, growing ecstatic whenever the romance seems to be progressing, as well as frequently getting annoyed with the characters' decisions. While still commenting on the character's tactics and announcing the verdicts, his style is akin to that of an enthusiastic sports commentator.

The titular character of the series, Kaguya Shinomiya is the vice president of Shuchiin Academy's student council. She is known for her beauty, intelligence, and wealth, her family owning one of the largest business conglomerates in Japan. Due to being born into a high-class family, the manner Kaguya was raised caused her to be prideful, cold, and calculating; but underneath her personality traits, she is really an innocent, kind, and fair-minded teenage girl at heart. Her social status and upbringing also cause her emotional suffering due to loneliness and isolation. Despite her intelligence and resources, she is surprisingly inept at utilizing social media and digital technology (although she excels at older, analog methods of input such as typewriter). She is also quite naïve when it comes to romance and sexuality and had to be taught how to utilize fashion and femininity to her advantage. To make Miyuki confess his love directly or indirectly, she usually plans ahead to tilt the circumstances in her favor. Apart from engaging in student council work, she is in the Archery club.

Miyuki Shirogane is the student council president of Shuchiin Academy. He is famed for being the top student in the school and has also placed second overall in national mock exams, attributed to his studying all the time, hence his messy hair, dark circles around his eyes, and glaring look. Like Kaguya, he is inexperienced with romance and relationships. Miyuki struggles with physical sports involving skills and has a paralyzing fear of bugs, especially cockroaches. Because his father, formerly a factory owner, is unemployed and his mother – who left the family when he was a child – does not support them, he and his younger sister Kei often take part-time jobs. A running gag in the series is how he always imagines Kaguya looking down on him and saying "How cute.", and refrains from confessing his feelings for her for fear of being rejected in such a way. Miyuki also has a passion for stargazing, and dreams of one day becoming a professional astronomer.

Chika Fujiwara is the student council secretary of Shuchiin Academy. Chika has been friends with Kaguya Shinomiya since middle school, however, their closeness isn't obvious to others because of Kaguya's personality. Despite being skilled in languages, singing, and various sports, she's often portrayed as being an airhead who doesn't take academic schoolwork seriously compared to her peers, and whilst she claims to be an expert on reading emotions, the accuracy of said reads tends to be rather hit-or-miss. This lack of social awareness when it comes to Kaguya and Miyuki's relationship fuels many of the conflicts in the two's games of love. Despite this, she does her best to help cheer up her fellow student council members and is usually the first person to offer emotional support.

Yu Ishigami is Shuchiin Academy's student council treasurer and an underclassman to the other members. The second son of a small toy manufacturer, he only attended school because his father forced him to, and was a truant until Miyuki recruited him to be treasurer. He usually keeps to himself and wears headphones while playing video games on his portable game console, however, he is a keen observer of people, noticing things that others do not wish to reveal, but occasionally getting in trouble for pointing out those things. He is afraid Kaguya might kill him because she tends to give him threatening glares and comments.

Ai Hayasaka is Kaguya's personal assistant and childhood friend; her father is Kaguya's godfather, and her mother was Kaguya's wet nurse. The two girls were raised together until the age of two when Kaguya was moved to the Shinomiya main house; on their reunion aged seven, their official master/servant relationship was established. Her family has been serving the Shinomiyas for generations; once prominent and rivaling the Shinomiyas, they were subsequently absorbed into the Shinomiya family in recognition of their fine bloodline. At school, she acts like a popular fashionable girl who wears her skirt short, a loose collar, fancy nails, and accessories, all of which push the dress code. She keeps her association with Kaguya a secret from Miyuki and Chika. When Miyuki visits, she dresses as a maid named Smirka A. Haski who attends an all-girls school and who flirts with Miyuki. When Chika visits, she cross-dresses as the male butler Mr. Haski. Ai is more socially aware than Kaguya, and can be calculative at times, but is also very sensitive as she too longs for a normal high school life and a boyfriend, which results in her teasing Kaguya frequently.
