Reese is Really Underrated

Earlier this week, we were given the sad news that voice actress Racheal Lillis had past away from cancer; Racheal had some of the best range for a dub actress everything from sassy villains to tomboys, valiant prince like maidens to sweet ditzy android girls, but one role went under the radar was her role as Dr Reese Drake from Dinosaur King.

Dinosaur King felt like a Pokemon clone trying too hard, made even more obvious when the lead is pretty much Ash Ketchum with a Dinosaur (same voice).
Reese in the games was sweet and caring, but her anime counterpart is serious and looks like she's always so done with this shit, game purists may not like it but making this personality change made Reese the best character, she's a great foil for manchild Dr Spike Taylor, she plays off equally well with the kids particularly her little sister Zoe and some of the best one-liners and moments come from Racheal Lillis delivering her best performance.
Dinosaur King could've been insufferable but Reese gives us the perfect audience surrogate straight woman and we have Racheal Lillis to thank for bringing her A game to an anime that didn't deserve it.
