Synopsis: Scale Hunters is a grounded fantasy-action story set in a kingdom slowly being consumed by a mysterious, magical forest. In this world, rare crystalline “scales” grant humans temporary magic—fueling a dangerous rush of power, ambition, and greed. Amid the chaos, Mote, a soft-spoken boy allergic to scales, and Thomas, a gifted perfectionist, join a team of hunters risking everything to uncover the truth behind the forest, the fairies who rule it, and the beasts it breeds. Blending emotional realism with cinematic fantasy, Scale Hunters is less about chosen heroes and more about flawed people fighting to define their place in a world reshaped by wonder and fear.
Casting deadline: EOD Oct 10th PST
General Voice Direction: The voice direction for Scale Hunters should reflect the world’s rich cultural blend. Vasagares is now a melting pot, with people from all over the world having settled there during the “scale rush.” As a result, characters may have mixed or softened accents—never fully authentic, but with hints of origins like Scottish, American, or Southeast Asian. Think of a global student who’s lived in multiple countries—their accent carries traces of each place, subtly fused together. Voice actors with natural hybrid accents are encouraged to embrace them. Tonally, this is not a typical shounen anime. The performances should feel grounded and emotionally sincere—closer to seinen or a fantasy film like The Witcher, but with more heart and warmth. While there are action-heavy and comedic moments, the overall delivery should lean into depth, restraint, and realism over exaggerated or overly animated reads.
