tourmalineskiesover 5 yearsAnime is the best, and not all anime girls have a voice like that.- effie302almost 6 yearsyeah thats because she is a literal anime girl, and unfortunately every anime girl has this squeaky annoying voice, so your not wrong.

glowinq_stxrsalmost 6 yearsI guess I’m wondering why some people in Roblox don’t like anime and well also in real life I guess?
alonetraveleralmost 6 yearsok it's not childish cuz holograms are not childish and why are people hating on this? they are seeing the future basically! can they not see that? and the point of it is not to make it look human, it's anime! and if you were wondering why her voice it so high, it's how most female Japanese voices sound, like in anime!
