About Luci
Luci Christian is an American voice actress and ADR script writer from Hamilton, Texas, active in anime dubbing since 1999.

Critical Reception
The decision to have Christian voice both Nagisa and Ushio is frequently praised by dub fans as inspired casting. Her English performance as Ushio carries exactly the right mixture of childlike innocence and unspoken sorrow — and the emotional payoff of hearing Nagisa’s voice come out of her daughter is noted by many as one of the dub’s most effective choices. The arc is considered one of the most powerful in all of dubbed anime.
