We’ll Take Juri’s Side For 500, Alex.

Introduction

Anime Preview (No Spoilers)
Geno Studio is really trying hard to make a name for itself in the anime world. While Kokkoku was nowhere near a bad anime, it was nowhere near the top as well. Rather, it settled somewhere comfortably around the middle. Juri Yukawa is trying to be the responsible one in her family, but after failing 19 job interviews all in the same day, she has to stay living at home which is less than desirable. In fact, she is the self-proclaimed responsible member of her family. Her father is boring and has been laid-off, her older brother is a shut in, and her sister is trying to turn her mess of a life around after having a child f her own Makoto. In fact, Juri is pushing herself because she wants Makoto to grow up and become a great adult.
When her older brother picks up Makoto one day from preschool, they are both kidnapped and the criminals demand 5 million yen (about 50k USD). At a loss, Juri’s grandfather, who normally spends his days drinking and being retired, shows her a stone. With a drop of his blood, he freezes time and that single moment becomes the moment, or stasis, that they live in. This way, they can get Makoto and her older brother back, and be safe. When they arrive at the scene though, they are not the only ones who can move freely in a world otherwise frozen in time. Suddenly, moment by moment, their actions could potentially have an effect on reality.

Character Bio
Seiyuu Name: Chika Anzai
Juri is, above all else, an extremely responsible adult. Trying to get a job and move out on her own, she pushes herself to try and get that dream job she has always wanted. When those are dashed, the young girl decides to put her nephew, Makoto, ahead of her in hopes that he will become the upstanding member of the family. Juri possesses a strong sense of justice and is willing to go the distance and make the tough calls necessary to survive. This is all put to the test when she and her family enter the stasis.

American by birth; international by choice. I am trying to bring attention to one of my favorite causes; me. I translate by day and write by night. Aspiring polyglot. My dream would be to be the personal translator for Amuro Namie. Other than that, my hobbies include languages, weightlifting, sleeping, karaoke, GOOD coffee and music. When I’m not doing any of the above, I am most likely laughing hysterically at Willam Belli videos or EV farming. I ain’t gunna Rupologize for it neither. Waifu are Shirai Kuroko & Euaerin.
