Cast Comments:
Junya Enoki (Yuwa Kazahaya):
'Yuwa seems gentle and not particularly strong at first glance, but he has incredible grit inside, making him a really satisfying character to play. The battle scenes look like they are going to be incredibly cool, and there are actually so many funny moments that the recording studio erupts in laughter. Please look forward to it!'
Tasuku Hatanaka (Jin Tatsuoka):
'I am Tasuku Hatanaka, playing Jin Tatsuoka. First of all, the passion behind this production is incredible... Recording real human movements from motion capture actors, then recreating them as animation. Just thinking about the effort involved is staggering... It really tightened my resolve! Playing such an extremely cool role like Jin is almost a first for me, and while it was a process of trial and error, thinking about his humanity and what lies beneath was such an enjoyable experience. I am truly excited to see what this series becomes! Please watch ELECEED!'
Setsuji Sato (Dr. Delain):
'I am Setsuji Sato, playing Dr. Delain! The production process for this work is amazing! First, motion capture performers act it out, which becomes CG, then we voice actors perform to match the CG, and finally the animators draw and finish the art based on all of that...! It is such a luxuriously crafted production! And the voice cast led by Enoki-san is the best! Everyone is fantastic! I work a lot with Hatanaka-san, and he kindly ignores my chaotic acting (laughs). Because it makes him laugh (laughs). There are so many unique cast members! We record as a friendly team. But after saying all this, what I really want to say is: the cat voice is adorable!'
Director Hiroshi Nishikori:
'This work features many characters from various positions, and I really love how they all get involved in a clumsy, down-to-earth way. As we carefully follow their full-throttle clashes through animation, I can genuinely feel the production coming alive as movement and voices are added, which is very exciting. This is a work that can be enjoyed from any character is perspective, so please support ELECEED!'
