I hope the localizers here are taking notes, since once everyone is back to work, they’re probably going to be working overtime to dub material.

I figure it wouldn't be too hard to go back to recording like normal, since all that's needed is someone to disinfect the booth once the performer is finished, but it's nice to see them taking extra precautions. Using a studio that can hold an orchestra for just a few people is fittingly ridiculous.

I hope Endeavor's voice actor gets an entire room to himself to really get into the screaming at children.

Crossing my fingers and hoping that this means Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater is gonna come back.

I hope it's enough. Especially given all the shouting anime voice work requires (see @ 1:45).  I don't think it will be, unless they're all fortunate enough to not catch it outside the studio.  And disinfecting mics seems like it would be a nightmare.  But I hope they all come through unscathed.

It's all very odd. Somehow they managed to flatten the curve only several days after another outbreak.

Disinfecting mics isn't easy. The usual wipes and sprays will ruin the equipment. Traditionally, you'd have to take it to an expert or the original seller or manufacturer, but now they need to find a more streamlined way to do that.
