Cast Comments

Sho Komura, voice of Chrono
“I am Sho Komura, and I will be playing Chrono. When I read the original manga, I was deeply moved by Chrono’s refusal to give up. I will do my best to deliver that emotion to as many people as possible.”

Koki Uchiyama, voice of Shirai
“I felt that the original work is something both children and adults can enjoy. I hope the anime adaptation will help it reach an even wider range of generations. I also sensed homages to various science fiction films, so I hope movie fans will enjoy it as well.”

Kohei Amasaki, voice of Akaba
“My name is Kohei Amasaki, and I will be appearing as Akaba. When I was given the opportunity to audition, I thought, ‘I absolutely want to be the voice actor for Akaba,’ so I am truly happy. I will put my heart and soul into portraying him with great care. Thank you.”

Reina Ueda, voice of Lemon
“The PV we recorded ahead of the main series was incredibly stylish. I am excited because I feel this will be a production site filled with passion and ideas. I will give it my all so that everyone can enjoy the anime as well.”
