Have you been watching Radiant, an anime that has been broadcast on NHK Educational TV since the fall of 2018? This manga was imported from France, and is a classic magical fantasy. The main character, Seto, overcomes many obstacles. You will definitely be thrilled! Here, we will introduce the charm of "Doc" in detail.
What is Doc from Radiant?
Is he just an ordinary old man?

He's a middle-aged man with short, spiky hair and a small moustache under his nose (lol). He's a bit chubby, but he moves quite swiftly and has a wide range of facial expressions, making him a very interesting character. He's the only one of the three, Seto and Meri, who has a sensible way of thinking.
Researcher

Doku, like Meri, also belongs to Artemis Academy. However, unlike Meri, he doesn't study magic and makes a living as a researcher. He generally avoids anything dangerous, but he's an unfortunate character who somehow gets caught up in it.
【Radiant】Is Doc fun just to watch?
What's fun about Doc

Doc first appeared in the anime in episode 4. He landed on "Pompo Hills" under the pretext of retrieving Nemesis, which Seto had defeated. As you can see from the image above, his gestures and movements are quite exaggerated. That's what makes Doc so fun.
His emotions are amazing

His emotions change every second. It's fun to watch, and his chaotic behavior is Doc's normal behavior (lol). Doc, who is being pushed around by Seto and Meri, feels the most human.

I don't know if it's a pig or a rabbit, but this is Doc's ship. The two things stretching out from the bottom act as hands, and he moved around while holding the Nemesis that Seto defeated. He flies around using two large jets. Doesn't it look a bit like Doc? (lol)
Radiant: Doc's Daily Life
Love

Doc visits the cafe run by Miss Melba at Artemis Academy for breakfast as a daily routine. Of course, it's not for the coffee, but to see his beloved Miss Melba. He pretends to be cool, but deep down it's a festival (laughs)

This everyday life is destroyed by Seto and Meri, but from this point on, an incident occurs, and it may be Doku's fate to get caught up in it as well. Good luck, Doku!
【Radiant】Who is the voice of Doc?

What did you think? We've introduced the most anticipated show of the season, Radiant: Let's take a look at Doc's charm! He's a bit of a joker in front of Miss Melba, but he's actually a serious researcher. I'm always nervous because I'm being pushed around by Seto and Meri, but that's what makes it worth rooting for (laughs). I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story will develop from now on. Will they go to Radiant together? If you're interested, please check it out.
