Anyway, the action battle scene is a masterpiece!! It's getting hotter for machines and people. Where do people, souls come from? It would be great if everyone could raise that question. [Kito Akari] (1) Share your thoughts and impressions about Alma Although Alma is an android that doesn't express emotions, it changes little by little as it is interacting with Minami and Akira by working together. It was difficult but fan to express the changes delicately, so I hope all the viewers can feel it.

Yamamura Hibiku (as Claudia Braford) When I had the opportunity to play the role in the audition, I felt how strong and yet so fragile was my character... it made me want to be close to her. I am so happy that they chose me for the part. Every time I joined the dub session, I moved to tears for every word and dramatic scene by the pure and brave war maidens and the warm and majestic warriors. I hope that you will be able to see their bravery. Hieda Nene (as Muguruma Miyako) I'm Hieda Nene, who will be playing the role of Muguruma Miyako! I'm so happy and honored to voice such a cheerful and strong character, who is shiny like the sun and able to be close to the hearts of people. This work will be enjoyable for many different perspectives, such as the powerful aerial combat with the cool aircraft, the cuteness of the Valkyrie, and the human drama. I hope you'll join me in watching Miyako and her friends! M.A.O. (as Komagome Azuzu) I'm M.A.O., who will be playing the role of Komagome Azuzu. It's a very unique piece of work with an epic world and characterization of the characters, and also the start of the recording session was very fun! I hope you'll enjoy watching the war of the maidens while they struggle to protect the people and things they love. Thank you for your continued support! Kikuchi Sayaka (as Torai Sonoka) It was the first role I auditioned for, and I was so happy and surprised when I got the role. My character Sonoaka is not only cute, but she also has a great sense of control in battle and is a cool figure. I will do my best to be on top of your expectations, so I hope you will look forward to seeing this film. Director: Tokuda Hirotaka I'm Tokuda Hirotaka from Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. This is my first time as a director, and I'm having a great time making this film while going against the grain and getting help from some great people. I hope to deliver an exciting and romantic flight experience for everyone. Please look forward to "Warlords of Sigrdrifa"! Character Designer: Yokota Takumi I was born in Chiba, so I'm happy to be able to get involved in anime from my home prefecture. There is so much maniacal attention to details in this anime, which mixes the figure of beautiful girls with military stuff, that every time I watch it, I find something new. Since I've learned a lot, I feel like I can fly an airplane now. Music: Komori Shigeo Attractive characters, interesting storyline, thrilling aerial battles, the appeal of this anime is endless. I just looked at the script and the setting material (laugh). Expectations are high, but at the same time, it's been hard due to the corona situation. I had some hard times for the music production, but I think the difficulties of the rest of the crew were even greater than you can imagine. I believe that the many struggles we had during the production will add a special charm to this work. It's probably going to be awesome! Please keep high your expectations. Music: Hyakkyoku Hajime I'm Hyakkyoku, who has agreed to collaborate with Komori-san on the music for this show! This is the second time I've co-worked on a production, but this time I had great fun working in the same office with my good friend Komori-san. The first thing we did was to make a plan on how we would divide up all the songs on the music menu we received, and how we would divide it up between the two of us. It was easily decided without any particular discussion. In this way, the music was created by two different personalities creating two different views. When we were dubbing the strings in the studio, I finished recording my own song while Komori-san just started his song. I learned a lot from this experience because our approaches were so different that doing the work separately was a good idea in terms of results. I was so excited! I hope you will enjoy the two sides of the deep and magnificent world of this work and the music. I myself am looking forward to the release, and I can't wait for the time to enjoy it with you all!

The TV anime "Talentless Nana" will be broadcast from October. <Comments are as below> Ookubo Rumi as Hiiragi Nana I'm Ookubo Rumi and I'll be playing Hiiragi Nana. From the moment I read the original work at the audition, I was hooked by the story, and I was so glad to get the role of Nana. The isolated training school, the children with mystical abilities, the mysterious "Enemies of Humanity", etc. I want to stand by Nana and portray her fighting against the "Enemies of Humanity" and growing up. I'm nervous since this is the lead role, but I'm also fired up! I hope you will enjoy the TV anime "Talentless Nana". Shimono Hiro as Nakajima Nanao I'm Shimono Hiro and I'll be playing Nakjima Nanao. I love this type of story, and I hope you will enjoy what the shy, reclusive Nanao brings to the table! Nakamura Yuuichi as Onodera Kyouya I read the original work for the first time when I auditioned, and I was surprised by the unpredictable development of the story and was fascinated by the charms of the characters. It's hard to get rid of the unfriendly image of Kyouya, but he is actually quite reasonable. I want to well balance the two sides of him. Takanashi Yasuharu (Team-MAX) I'm Takanashi and I'll be in charge of the music on "Talentless Nana". When I was given the offer, I read the 1st volume and I was surprised by the development of the story!! It goes beyond my speculations and though the illustrations are cute, the plot twist is amazing!! I was drawn into the world of "Talentless Nana" before I knew it, and was absorbed in reading it. Music-wise, it's been a long time since I last composed suspenseful music. I was excited to take on the various new challenges. When the unexpected happens, when somebody's identity is revealed, subtle psychological descriptions, etc.! I'm sure this is going to be a great piece of work. Please look forward to the show. Tomita Miyu as the opening theme artist I'm Tomita Miyu and I'll be singing the opening theme song of "Talentless Nana". The other day, I was shown the opening video with powerful images linked to the song, and I'm already looking forward to the broadcast! The song is a serious, edgy, dark song to match the story. I put my soul into the song and gave it my all to sing it. I hope you will enjoy the theme song "Broken Sky" along with the anime. Fujikawa Chiai as the ending theme artist I'm Fujikawa Chiai and I'll be singing the ending theme song of "Talentless Nana". It feels good to get outwitted no matter how much you keep your eyes open for plot twists! The story goes beyond my imagination, and I was deceived right from the beginning. This was my first experience to face a protagonist with this mixed feeling of being tricked and bewildered. I should've hated her, but I somehow found myself sympathizing with her. Before I knew it I was completely drawn into the story. I wrote this song called "Bakemono to Yobarete" (Being called a monster) while looking forward to the development of the story. The song is about the conflict of those with supernatural abilities and those with none. What will the conflict bring about? I've struggled to get this song finished, and I hope it will reach the hearts of the fans. (C)Looseboy, Furuya Iori / SQUARE ENIX, "Talentless Nana" Production Committee
