＜Comment by Wataru Hatano

--It has been about two years since the audio drama in which you played the character for the first time, and this is your first anime adaptation. What was your impression of the work at that time?

The audio drama was like an extra episode, so I had the impression that it was fast-paced and comical!
It was full of each character's personality.

--What is your enthusiasm for the anime?

There are serious parts in the story, so I will do my best to express the gap between the serious and funny scenes!

--Please give a message to the fans who are going to be exposed to "Killing Bites" about the highlights of the show.

The powerful action scenes that only anime can deliver.
Please enjoy the strong personalities of the characters!
Please also pay attention to Nomoto, who has a tendency to get swept away.

Hitomi Uzaki / Rater (CV: Amemiya Ten)
A new brute who possesses the power of a small mammal called a rattel. With her amazing defensive abilities and fearless aggressiveness, she is more than a match for superior fighters. His special move is the "Slash," a counter attack in which he slashes with his sharp claws.
Normally, she lives her life as a high school girl, but she is just as winsome and arrogant as she was when she was in beast form. In front of Shido, whom she is fascinated with sweet things, she changes into a leopard.

＜ Amemiya Ten's comment＞

-- It's been about two years since the audio drama in which you played the character for the first time, and this is your first anime adaptation. What was your impression of the work at that time?

The audio drama at that time was an everyday story that had little to do with the main story, and at the time I had a stronger impression of the gag than I do now.
But as for Hitomi, she is Hitomi no matter where she is or what she does, so my impression of her is not so different from the impression I have now, which is that she is out of the ordinary and has a gap.

--What is your enthusiasm for the anime?

I am happy to be able to play Hitomi in the anime as well.
I am looking forward to the battles that make the most of the unique characteristics and personalities of the animals in "Killing Bites," and I hope to play Hitomi's cool and gappy parts well!

--Please give a message to the fans of "Killing Bites" about the highlights of the game.

I was surprised that this animal had such characteristics!　The battles using these characteristics are very interesting and will be a highlight of the anime as well!
The number of beasts and humans that increase with each episode is very unique, so I think you will be thrilled and thrilled every time you watch. I hope you will watch it!

Elsa Nakanishi / Cheetah (CV: Marei Uchida)
Elsa is a beast fighter who possesses the power of a "cheetah. She is the fastest hunter on earth, using her super-speed "cheetah run" to run across the land and kill her prey in an instant.
He and Hitomi are good rivals. Her brother is Tiga, a powerful beast fighter, and the respect she has for him is to the point of a black love.

<UCHIDA Marei's comment

--It's been about two years since the audio drama in which you played the character for the first time. What was your impression of the work at that time?

Already two years ago...! I am surprised. I am more than happy to be able to work with the cast members from that time again!

--What is your enthusiasm for the anime?

The audio drama was an extra episode, so now that I am once again participating in Killing Bites, it is finally time to get down to business!　I'm really looking forward to the recording.

--Please give a message to the fans of "Killing Bites" about the highlights of the show.

It is cool to see the characters transform into beasts during the battle scenes. Some of the characters transform in surprising ways! Erza is a cheetah, which is cute because it is a fierce feline beast. Please take a look!

Ui Inaba / Rabbit (CV: Sumire Uesaka)
Hatsu Inaba is a beast fighter who possesses the power of a "Rabbit. She is a beast fighter who possesses the power of a "rabbi." She lacks arm strength and has no fangs or claws, and has no fighting ability. On the other hand, he is highly skilled as an agent, using his long ears to spot enemies, his "datto" escape technique, and his ability to dig loopholes.
Perhaps because of his nature as a weak animal, he has a timid and whiny personality. While digging holes, she gets so excited that she almost forgets her purpose.

＜This is the first anime adaptation in about two years since the audio drama in which you played the character for the first time. What was your impression of the work at that time?

It was a very exciting work! I had the impression that it was a very exciting work.
I like works with an atmosphere like a coliseum behind the scenes of society,
I enjoyed playing the role.

--I was very excited to play the role of Hatsu-chan, who has not played a character in 2 years.

Hatsu-chan is a character who is always on the run, but there are scenes in which she uses her quick wits to get out of a pinch at the critical moment, so I want to express the charm of Hatsu-chan, who is a hard worker in her own weak way.

--Please give a message to the fans of "Killing Bites" about the highlights of the show.

It is a battle without mercy, where the thoughts of the humans and the will of the brutes collide.
Please be sure to watch out for the flashy and flamboyant battles!

Killing Bites" will begin airing in January 2018 on MBS and other Anime-ism channels. Other cast members and detailed broadcast schedule will be announced on the official website, so please look forward to more information!
