Mikako Komatsu

Q1. Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
After all, the resolution of otaku is extremely high…!
There are many different fields and genres when it comes to otaku, but the amount of information you can get into is amazing. Personally, I was really excited when I found out the meaning of the title “Witch Watch”! !

Q2. Could you tell us about your enthusiasm for playing the role of Yuri Makuwa?
Once Makuwa-sensei starts talking (in his mind), he can’t stop, so he’s babbling.
Anyway, I thought that the key to success was excitement, voice, and ability to talk.
The voice in my heart and the voice on the outside switch at a very good tempo, so it’s perfect.
My interactions with Mr. Ureshino are very smooth.

Rie Takahashi

Q1. Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
Although it was a pleasant conversation, something seemed off. But sometimes I realized that I looked really cool and my heart felt warm. Characters who are funny, endearing, and full-fledged. It’s hard to express in words, but I feel like it’s a work full of charm in every frame, like “everything about Shinohara-sensei!”

Q2. Could you tell us about your enthusiasm for playing Minami Kara?
I grew up laughing at Shinohara-sensei’s works a lot, so I’m very honored to be able to play such a fun role as Kara-chan!
During the dubbing, I try my best to follow the director’s entertaining directions every time. Even in the original, Kara-chan is bright and cheerful, but by moving and talking, I want her to become even more intense and liven up the life around Nico!

Yoshimi Ohara

Q1. Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
The charm of this work is that there are no decent people! I think so (lol)
The original work is so great that the dubbing is so lively that I laugh out loud every time. Not only the main characters, but also the names and personalities of each character have their own characteristics, so you can feel the teacher’s love, and viewers will feel happy♪

Q2. Could you please tell us your enthusiasm for playing Kugumi Ureshino?
At first glance, she seemed like a quiet and gentle girl…but there was something about her that wasn’t so gentle, and I was looking forward to playing her, but I was also very nervous (lol).When I played her, I felt like a real human being for the first time in a while, and I felt even more affectionate. It’s springing up. What will happen on air? I’m really looking forward to it♪

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka

Q1. Could you tell us about the appeal of this work?
It’s a real talent that there isn’t a single boring character (lol)
It was really interesting to dig into each person individually, and for the first time in a long time, I laughed out loud at home and it filled my heart with joy. Not only are there gags, but there are also subtle depictions of romance, and the pace is very good.

Q2. Could you tell us about your enthusiasm for playing Tenryu Kiyomiya?
It’s a role that can be played naturally, so I wonder if this is normal even if the chairman is a strange person? This is normal for student councils in this world…! I tried to make it feel normal.
But I’m a person who has been through a lot of hardships… so please everyone please take care of me.
