Comment from Ikue Otani (Neji)
-How do you feel about playing the character and what are the highlights of the work?
I think that people can only move forward by accepting the bad things they want to forget.... The questions posed are so deep, and Neji's pure honesty made me think about so many things, such as the fact that there is such a world where it is not easy to say what is right and what is wrong.
-Message to the audience
Neji, who is not in human form, looks like a monster at first glance, but his heart is very pure. He accepts his situation without being cynical, and I felt as if there is something in him that we have lost today, which made me feel very warm. I hope something will be left in everyone's heart.

I participated in the recording of episode 6, but I was surprised at the high quality of the movie when I saw it on the official website. I am very honored to have been able to participate in the production.

-How do you feel about playing the character and what are the highlights of the work?
Episode 6, which I played in, was a complete episode, so I was able to genuinely enjoy it even in the middle of the episode. It was a story filled with the lesson that it is people who are really scary. Martin, the character I played, is more frightening when he loses his temper because he usually wears the skin of an ordinary person. I was conscious of that difference in atmosphere.
-Message to the audience
You will be overwhelmed by the individuality, power, and presence of the work, as well as the performances of the veteran actors. This is the charm of anime! I too was numb during the postrecording sessions. It is a wonderful work. Please watch it.

-How did you feel playing the character and what are the highlights of the work?
In a word, it was a mysterious role. In a good sense, he is an elusive character. The sense of speed during battles was unbelievable! When I finished playing the role, the word "mimicry" came to mind. I regret to say that I am not going to be able to play any more roles after this episode.
-Message to the audience
For fans of the original work, I think this anime adaptation is very enjoyable in every way, from the deep care taken by the studio producers to the quality of the finished images and the character voices.
