The official website for the TV anime adaptation of Takeshi Obata and Tsugumi Ohba's Platinum End manga has announced four new cast members.
While it is a fantasy, the inner lives of the characters and what is happening in their lives are very real. What is life? What is death? Just when you want to look away, you are confronted with the question, "What would you do? That's what confronts me, and I can't take my eyes off them. I'm the only one who can play Mirai Kakehashi. I went to the audition believing that strongly. I went into the audition with a strong belief that only I could do it.
I am pleased to announce that I will be taking charge of the CV of Nasse, a special class angel. From the moment I heard about the audition, I thought "I definitely want to play this role...! So I'm honestly very happy to be able to voice her. "Life and death" for humans and angels. What is true "happiness"? I was naturally drawn into the story, thinking that while it is a fantastical world, it could possibly happen to someone close to me. I would like to enjoy myself as I post-record the story, staying close to the world view and the characters.
M・A・O as Saki Hanakago
