Hi! How did you watch the special event? Were there new announcements there? Maybe spoilers? What did the voice actors say in their interviews?
I watched it as a live stream. Nah, not really. Except for the opening and a short preview of ep 1 (a minute long lol), from which we’ve learned that Akane is imprisoned.
As for the seiyuu… They were asked like two-three questions each and that’s all. I’ll try to summerise some points for you as much as I can remember.
Nakamura Yuuichi confessed it took him like five times to be able to say “kei-mihairu-igunatofu” correctly. Now he’s able to do it smoothly though, but it was hard to pronounce at first. Not only for him, he noted, but for others as well. He was relieved he wasn’t the only one.
When asked about the relationship between the two main characters as partners, Nakamura replied he liked the contrast between their opposite personalities. Arata’s quick to take action but Kei remonstrates with him when needed, prevents him from doing whatever he’ll be doing in S3. Arata’s special ability comes with certain responsibilities and risks, and Kei also plays a part in helping to deal with these risks. Also, Kei can observe things from the perspective of an immigrant, which he is.
Kaji Yuuki shared his first impression of Shindou Arata. When he first saw Arata’s character design, he felt like he could instantly hear the character speak with his voice. This encounter really got him excited.
Hidaka-san noted their likeness in appearance, to which Kaji agreed saying that, yeah, some of his colleagues from the cast told him the same thing. He admitted they both had a somewhat round-shaped face, a “tanuki face”.
What Kaji liked the most about his voice acting experience as Shindou Arata is playing an Inspector character, more specifically—giving orders, activating the Dominator… and hearing Hidaka-san’s voice whenever Arata was holding his Dominator. The moment he said it I was like “how sweet” and “I feel you dude” even though I’ll never get the chance to voice an Inspector character lol.
Even though it might be not the best time to mention this, he said, but at the beginning, there’s a scene that he finds very impactful.
Also, they announced the results of the top 5 PP episodes/projects poll and it looks like this if I remember the order correctly, that is:
Gekijouban PP (the movie)
