"I was excited to take on this challenge, feeling pressure in a good way, because this is a work that has many fans," she said. "Kadode has a little common with myself, and as I played Kadode, I was able to feel the love of time and conversation with the people closest and most important to me in the whirlpool of a world that is undergoing a major change." Meanwhile, Ouran Nakagawa, a high school girl who has been best friends with Kadode since elementary school and is a war game geek who routinely has trouble sleeping, is played by singer ano , who is extremely popular among the younger generation. This is her first anime character role. "Ontan is a lovable character, full of cuteness, but I couldn't help but love her true expressions and emotions that she occasionally shows," she said. "This is the first time for me to act as a voice actor, but Asano-sensei told me, 'ano-chan can play Ontan just as you are,' so I tried to give my all to Ontan." The anime will release as a two-part theatrical film in spring 2024. It has also been confirmed that the first part will open in Japanese theaters on March 22, 2024, then the second part will follow on April 19, 2024.
