The official report from the "Episode 1 Advance Screening Event" held at Space FS Shiodome on March 31st (Sat) has just arrived.

The official report of the "Episode 1 Advance Screening Event" held at Space FS Shiodome on Saturday, March 31st is as follows.

On March 31, an event was held at Space FS Shiodome for an advance screening of the first episode of the TV anime, which will start airing on April 3. The event was attended by voice actors Yu Serizawa and Teppei Kaminishi, who both star in the series.

When asked what she thought of the first episode, Serizawa, who plays Igarashi Iroha, the most beautiful girl in the school, said, "I cried,
I cried. When I saw the completed video with the anime, OP and ED, it was the first time in my career as a voice actress that my name was at the top of the list, so I was very moved and happy to have met Iroha-chan.

Kaminishi, who plays the role of Hikaru Tsutsui, the school's number one otaku who loves two-dimensional things, will be making his first starring appearance in an anime and his first regular role,
I've only been a voice actor for a year, so I was more moved by the fact that my voice could be heard throughout the entire anime than by the fact that my name was in the credits," he said.

When asked about what he was conscious of in acting and what the director said to him that stayed with him,

Serizawa: "I was conscious of not being conscious. Ikiha-chan is a strong girl who is able to act out her thoughts, so I tried to act out what I felt on the spot in a way that matched the role as much as possible.

Uenishi: "I'm the type of person who makes up a role in advance, but in the test, the sound director told me that Tsutsutsu (a nickname for Hikaru Tsutsui) talks quietly and doesn't open up to others, so I wanted him to put up more of a wall!　The sound director told me to build more of a wall.
The sound director told me that he wanted me to put up more of a wall.

The conversation turned to the recording studio,

Serizawa: "The postrecording has now reached the 6th episode and the main cast is all here!　Shota Aoi, Minami Tsuda, Takuatsu Terashima, and Rena Ueda are all working on it. But the other day, Kaminishi-kun asked me to do something for him," he said, starting the conversation,

Uenishi said, "Since I am the main actor, I and Mr. Serizawa are always in the center, but in the episode we recorded the other day (episode 6), I was talking with Ito-kun, played by Shota Aoi, so I asked Mr. Serizawa to close the distance between us in reality, and he gave that place to Aoi.

Serizawa: "I gave it to him (laugh).
Uenishi: "I didn't neglect Iroha (Serizawa's role)!
and Uenishi's excuses to Serizawa were very much in line with her role.

What do you think of the upcoming highlights and the characters you are interested in?

Uenishi: "Iroha is a character who doesn't show much emotion, but as the story progresses, she gradually shows more and more emotion, so I want to pay attention to that change. The character I am interested in is Sumie Ayato, played by Rena Ueda. She is an otaku just like Tsutsu Tsutsu, so we have a lot in common. She is not good at communicating, but works hard at what she loves. They hit it off.... I can't tell you what happens next, so please look forward to their appearance!

Serizawa: "At first, Iroha is swinging around Tsutsun, but things gradually turn around and Iroha starts to be swung around, and they influence each other in a good way and change, so I hope you will be squeamish about that development and look forward to it. I hope you will get excited about it and look forward to it. She is very cute. She also plays the same role in the live-action movie (the only cast member in common), so it's like she is connecting the anime and the movie, which makes me very happy.
I am very happy.


At the end of the event, I would like to leave a message for everyone,

Uenishi: "I think there are many people who are going to start a new life and a new environment from now on. I hope that this work will give you a little boost of courage.

Serizawa: "For me, this will be an important work that I will never forget, and I hope it will be an important work for you as well. The recording continues, but I will do my best to play the role of Iroha, so please give me your best. Thank you very much for your time today.
They each concluded their remarks with the following words.

Synopsis of the first episode (titles omitted)
Tsutsui Hikaru, an otaku high school senior, is late for the first time in his high school life. Igarashi Iroha, who is also late, is a 3-dimensional girl who is rumored to be flamboyant and has a bad taste in men, which Tsutsui is not fond of. As punishment for their tardiness, the two decide to clean the pool during their lunch break. While Shikoha is as impressive as the rumors say, it is Shikoha who rescues Tsutsui and his otaku friend Ito, who were being teased by a girl from their junior high school class on Sunday. Tsutsui thinks that Shikoha may actually be a good guy, as she speaks without prejudice even with Ito, whom she has never met before. Then, Tsutsui sees Ikiha being tangled up with two boys at school. He jumps on the karate club member who tries to force Ikiha to go with him, and the two boys beat him up. The next day, Tsutsui comes to the classroom with a bruised face and Iroha confesses to him, "Go out with me...
