by

Actress Atsumi Tanezaki, who’s known for voicing characters like Frieren from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Spy x Family’s Anya Forger, has decided to scale back on work commitments as she’s been experiencing a drop in health.

Last year, Frieren was one of the most beloved anime series, and it’s now leading the pack on MyAnimeList (MAL), surpassing classics like Full Metal Alchemist, Attack on Titan, and One Piece. This success can largely be attributed to its endearing cast of vibrant characters, heartfelt narrative, and enchanting fantasy atmosphere.

Among the characters, it’s Frieren, the elf mage and leading figure, who garners the most attention, with the talented Japanese voice actress Atsumi Tanezaki lending her voice to the character.

On June 1st, Tanezaki’s agency, Haikyo, announced through a statement that Frieren’s voice actress is focusing on recuperation due to her recent health issues, which take priority at the moment.
