Plastic Memories (Anime) Fandub

Project Overview

Welcome to the English fandub of Plastic Memories!

- Synopsis -

"After failing his college entrance exams, 18 year-old Tsukasa Mizugaki is offered a position at the renowned SAI Corporation due to his father’s connections. SAI Corporation is known for its production and management of androids that possess human emotions called Giftia.

Tsukasa’s position is in the Terminal Service department where the main job is to recover Giftias that are close to their expiration, a graveyard department in every sense. To make matters worse, Tsukasa is ordered to work with Isla, a female Giftia whose only responsibility has been serving tea to co-workers."

This anime does not have an English dub. As such, actors/actresses will need to be confident in line delivery to match the lip flaps with the English script provided. This is so that the lines will match the timing of mouth movements accordingly.

This will be my directorial/editing debut for a fandubbing series, so I have provided a sample of the intro to episode 1 that I have been editing on my own.

I've added/edited the official music to the appropriate levels, recorded foley sounds from scratch with objects and synths (Some stock sounds for certain things in the future), as well as provided the main character voice.

I do have a background in recording engineering.

Link for the intro so far:

For the voice roles, I've provided the character personality from their wiki page.

Rules for Auditions

I do have a few rules that I want to address as far as auditioning:


  • Mic Quality: I would like to keep things as professional as possible on the audio side since it's where I have the most experience, so I do ask that audio be free of background noise, audio clicks, pops, etc. This is to ensure that the best quality audio is used.


  • Auditioning Layout: If auditioning for a voice role, I would like for you to provide at least 2 takes, no more than 3, of your audition. Also have them in ABAB format (unless the role only has 1 audition line).


  • Scheduling: This will be a long term project and as most people, I have things outside of this project that I do. With that said, I will have deadlines set in place, but I will work with those that are not able to meet the set dates in most instances. We all get busy, and life happens, I get it. But understand you will need to be dedicated until the end regardless.


  • Discord: Please provide your Discord handle in your auditions notes so if you are chosen you can be contacted accordingly.


  • Have Fun: While I do want this to be a serious take on the anime in English, I still want people to have fun. Remember, this is just a way to practice and get better at acting out a character.


With all that, thank you for your interest in this project!

Latest Updates

  • LAST DAY TO AUDITION!

    Hello everyone!

    Less than 24 hours until I shutdown auditions!

    I still have so many to still take in and consider and, while I hate having to put a cut off time, I need to in order to end the auditions phase and continue.

    If there is still a role you would like to audition for but haven’t yet, now is the time to do it.

    • I WILL NOT ACCEPT ANY AUDITIONS AFTER TOMORROW, APRIL 24, 11:59 pm CST (U.S.A., Chicago Time)

    There is still one role with no audition on the page. Chizu Shirohana, the “grandmother” of Nina. She has a small role (more than one line) in the first episode, so I would love to see some auditions for her too.

    Thank you!

  • FINAL WEEK Update

    Hello everyone!

    As you all know, this is the final week of auditions for the project. I am so excited to see that so many people have taken an interest in fandubbing this anime! Never would have thought this many auditions would come about. Thank you all for auditioning!

    With that said, this week I will be doing my best to shortlist the auditions that I think fit each role the most. So, going from 400+ auditions to like 50 - 100? I suppose it depends on how many I shortlist. I've already listened to every (when this UPDATE is posted) audition submitted so far at least once, but still need to thoroughly listen to each one.

    Those that do not make the shortlist will have their auditions dismissed, which I think you will be able to tell by looking at your submissions page. If you get dismissed, know that I am humbled that you auditioned but it just didn't quite make the cut, be that audio technicalities, voice not fitting, or acting ability not quite where I think it should be. I do thank you still for the audition.

    I know many of you have auditioned for several roles. So, for those that did, I may dismiss you for 1 character or more, but you may still be shortlisted for another character you auditioned for. Ultimately, I will most likely message you if you are being considered. I will be working on shortlisting and dismissing up until the deadline. Any auditions placed after the deadline WILL NOT be considered.

    Once the deadline is here, I will begin finalizing the cast.

    (If you made it this far, there are some additional characters NOT listed on the CCC page. Which means I will still consider some of you for those characters!)

    I hate having to cut the list down so much because there are lots of talented people that have auditioned, but that is part of the process. I look forward to hearing all of your auditions more in depth!

    Thank you all again for the interest!

  • Random Update!

    Hi everyone!

    Wasn't sure how many people would be interested in this project, but I'm so excited to see the number of auditions so far!

    I have listened to all of the submitted auditions (as of this update) and do have some voice actors in mind for certain characters, but I will not be casting anyone until the deadline. I may still reach out to some of you in the following days who have already auditioned and give critic and guidance to help improve chances. I believe everyone should have a fair shot.

    With that said, the deadline is now LESS THAN 30 DAYS away.

    If those of you who have auditioned would like to redo any of your current submissions, you are more than welcome to. I encourage you to also audition for some of the other roles as that will possibly give you a better chance at being considered (you may surprise yourself and be better at another voice!).

    Anyway, just wanted to hit everyone with a small update reminder.

    Thanks again for auditioning for the project!

Role assigned to: Riceroni

Character Type: Main


"Isla is a Giftia who was said to be the top Giftia marksman of Terminal Service One. She was previously partnered with Kazuki Kuwanomi. After her partnership with Kazuki was dissolved, she became the partner of Tsukasa Mizugaki.


Isla was introduced as a Giftia showing little to almost no emotion, but her partnership with Tsukasa Mizugaki has led her to develop in this aspect. She is very innocent, and often has difficulty understanding how social situations should work. When it comes to Tsukasa, Isla wishes to make him as happy as she possibly can. She also becomes jealous very easily and wants to be as useful to him as possible before her retrieval date.

Isla cares deeply about the feelings of others. It has been stated that she was the first employee of Terminal Service One to cater to the needs and emotions of her clients. The rest of the staff later followed Isla's example at Kazuki Kuwanomi's request after an incident revolving around one of Kazuki's assignments."

"While at work, Kazuki is a no-nonsense leader who understands the feelings of her employees and co-workers, but she also understands that there is work that needs to be done. She does not care for slackers or those who interrupt the work that Terminal Service is trying to accomplish. In spite of this, Kazuki shows that she also has a very strong devotion to those who are close to her. This example is best seen in her relationship with Isla (Kazuki's former partner) where the love that Kazuki feels for Isla is so strong that she convinced all of the staff at Terminal Service #1 to follow Isla's example of ensuring that each recovery is personalized to the client's needs, even though Isla's methods are inefficient from a financial standpoint. She is intensely defensive of Isla, and wants only the best for her.

Outside of work, Kazuki is seen to be very fond of alcohol, but is completely unable to hold her liquor."

Yasutaka is known to often go drinking at the bar, sometimes alongside Kazuki. Other known traits of his involve being rather flirtatious around female staff members, or even, as Sherry had once claimed, their customers."

I'm looking for someone that has experience with creating scripts. I need someone that has a clean script making layout that is easy to read and navigate. I'm sure most of the official sub lines will work for this project but it may need tweaking here and there. I'm also looking for how the emotional direction is provided in the script for actors. Please provide a sample of your script layout and/or workflow.
