Shizuka Ishigami and other cast members talked♪ Yukiyo Fujii's bombshell made Katsuyuki Konishi break down, and the "Mahoujin Guruguru" advance screening was full of laughter!

On Saturday, June 17, 2017, an advance screening of the TV anime "Mahoujin Guruguru," which will begin airing in July, was held at the Marunouchi Piccadilly. In addition to the screening of episodes 1 and 2, there were talks by the cast and announcements of new information, making the event a very exciting one for the many fans in attendance.

The first and second episodes were filled with the excitement and fun gags that are typical of "GuruGuru," and the audience laughed throughout the event. As the anticipation for the third and subsequent episodes grew, the host, Ken Washizaki, led the audience to the stage to see the actors Shizuka Ishigami (Nike), Yoshimi Ohara (Kukuri), Katsuyuki Konishi (Kita Kita Kita Oyaji), Ha Ochi (Juju), and Yukiyo Fujii (Toma). Ms. Ishigami and Ms. Fujii showed their love for the work by wearing costumes inspired by the Nike and Toma they play, Ms. Daichi and Ms. Konishi hung mascots of Gipple, the wind fairy, and Ms. Obara made her own nail polish to Guruguru specifications.

In the opening talk, the cast members gave their impressions of the fast-paced first and second episodes, including some behind-the-scenes stories. Mr. Ishigami, who is particularly attached to this work, spoke passionately, "There are parts that were inevitably cut out, but all the important parts were picked up and made! He spoke enthusiastically.

Next, as the latest information, a special program to be aired just before the broadcast was announced, and the audience was excited. When it was revealed that the special program would feature Ishigami, Obara, and Konishi challenging giant dominoes to pray for the success of the production, Konishi revealed a behind-the-scenes story, saying, "Actually, I spent six hours making dominoes without knowing anything about it," drawing laughter.

On this stage, it was also announced that from July 10 (Mon.), "Gurunavi! which will be hosted by Ms. Ishigami and Ms. Obara on Onsen from July 10 (July 10). In order to explain the program's corners, the cast members decided to actually demonstrate.

First, the cast members were asked to submit episodes in which they experienced what it would be like to be a character in an RPG. I am a wizard! Mr. Daichi took the initiative in raising his hand in the corner titled "I am the hero! He told a heroic episode in which he saved a woman from falling down the stairs. This was followed by various episodes from the other performers, but the episode from Ms. Fujii, in which she said that she used to be able to see the colors of face-down playing cards (*she is not able to do so now), had a particularly strong impact, surprising not only the audience but also her co-hosts.

Ms. Fujii also shared an episode about Ms. Obara. When Ms. Fujii told the story of Ms. Obara's skirt being ripped when she came to the recording session, Ms. Obara cheerfully replied, "It got caught in someone else's bicycle chain and ripped, but I couldn't be late, so I just went along.

Next was the "Magical Circle! corner, where listeners were asked to show off their special skills and talents. The men finally lost their energy when Mr. Fujii showed off his bizarre skill (?), "delusion". The audience was then reminded of this and moved on to the last corner, "Monstar appears," in which participants were asked to submit episodes in which they met interesting or unusual people.

The talk corner, which was filled with as much laughter as the work itself, flew by, and the event came to an end with a round of applause as the performers expressed their enthusiasm for "Mahoujin Guruguru.
