The movie “Survive!” is scheduled to be released in Jul. 31, 2020 at the same time as “Ganbareiwa!! Robocon: Urara~! Koi Suru Shiru-Nashi Tantanmen!! no Maki”.

Takenaka Naoto (as the laboratory's head) Commentary
I really like voicing anime characters, so I was happy when I was offered the role. It was a pretty intense role, but it was fun, and the character design was also charming.
The human internal body is a beautiful universe, so it can be an amazing feeling for a person to be inside another person. If I think about it, I get excited to see how this extraordinary universe will look like in the film.
