Why did you choose comedian Jun Tamura to voice Hiruma?
I: The animation studio is in charge of casting, but they did ask our opinions. We thought that Mr. Tamura is a perfect fit, both his voice and his style. M: I agree with what Inagaki-sensei said; furthermore, it would be great if Hiruma could have a devil-like appearance (laugh). Q: Please say a few words to the survivors of the flood to cheer them up. I: It is difficult to say something easily after witnessing such a terrible natural disaster. There are many typhoons and earthquakes in Japan as well so I more or less understand the depressing feel. I hope all survivors can be back to their normal lives as soon as possible. M: I haven’t been following news lately so I’m not very familiar with the detailed extent of the disaster. However my parents live in Kyushu and have experienced severe natural disasters as well. I also hope people can get well soon. Fans and cosplayers posed for pictures with Inagaki-sensei and Murata-sensei at the end of the press conference.
