Hanamori Yumiri’s Comments
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
This is a nostalgic world with a mixture of changes and static elements, such as the adult Albus, non-existenced Thirteen, and the usual Mercenary. I am sure that these who like “Grimoire of Zero” will like this work as well.
Q2. What is your impression of your character as well as enthusiasm toward voicing her?
I can’t believe the day that I am able to voice Zero (Mysterious Witch) has come again. I’m so glad.
Please do look forward to the appearance of Zero and Mercenary after they had finished one of their big journeys!
Yano Masaaki’s Comments
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
I was full of joy, thinking, “I want to go there! I want to be there!! To the world where magic and beastmen exist!!!” I couldn’t catch up with my feeling when looking at this work that is overflowing with my favorite elements.
I’m excited about the story developments as well as how the bonds between the characters grown deeper.
Personally, I like the beastmen, so they are the best!
Q2. What is your impression of your character as well as enthusiasm toward voicing him?
My first impression was, “He is so fluffy!” (Haha)
However, all of his speech and actions are filled with his various experience, so I hope I am able to express it well.
In order to contribute to this work as well as have everyone to enjoy this, I will do my best earnestly to express Mercenary in my own way.
Mizunaka Masaaki’s Comments
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
In this story that has “Magic” as the keyword, the actions of the various characters while facing a dilemma had drawn me into the story.
The interaction between Saybil, Loux sensei, Holt, and Kudo, got me excited as well as made me want to protect them. I am looking forward to the anime as I am finally able to see their actions and magic casting!
Q2. What is your impression of your character as well as enthusiasm toward voicing him?
Priest is a calm and smart character, and I can feel his allure from his straightforwardness in his speech as well as his bottomless mysterious atmosphere. This makes me feel quite honored to be able to voice Priest.
I will do my best to draw out his utmost allure as well as to have everyone enjoy “The Dawn of the Witch”! So, please do look forward to it!
