Voice Actors' Comments
Minami Takayama (Hao)
I can't believe that a Western film and an anime, two works with completely different approaches to spirits, have collaborated in such a way!
Both works are stories of spirits and people who have come back to life over the course of several decades. Please enjoy the commotion and activities of these unique spirits.

▼ Park Yu-mi (playing Ren Michi)
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard about the collaboration between "SHAMANKING" and "Ghostbusters: Afterlife"...
I see the "ghost" connection! That makes sense (laughs). But the spiritual power of the Ghostbusters is remarkable...
I'm tempted to make them my own....

Yoko Hikasa (played by Ip Asakura)
SHAMANKING" was revived after 20 years, and I felt that "Ghostbusters: After Life" is the same, and the keyword is to take over the soul and revive it. A mysterious connection between spirit and spirit, soul and soul.
I am very happy to have realized this collaboration that will please the fans who have supported me for a long time and everyone who has been waiting for it! I hope you enjoy these two works that have come together in the same year, 2022.

Megumi Hayashibara (Anna Osoreyama)
Ghostbusters: After Life" and "SHAMANKING" collaborated?
Things that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago are happening all over the place in the age of 2025. Huh? Marshmallow man possessed and merged with marshmallow man?
Of course not.... So? What in the world am I supposed to do? the proprietress said with 1080 in her hand.
"Is it a little bit small, Goth? Opacho asks.

Inuko Inuyama (Oyamada Manta)
I never thought I would collaborate with "Ghostbusters: After Life"! I am honored! The little marshmallow man is cute!

Katsuyuki Konishi (Amidamaru)
Collaboration with "Ghostbusters: After Life" and "SHAMAN KING"!
I used to watch the "Ghostbusters" series of movies, so I'm looking forward to seeing how the collaboration with "SHAMAN KING" will develop! I hope you are all looking forward to it as well!
And please go see "Ghostbusters: Afterlife"!

Phoebe (McKenna Grace) moves to a country town with her mother and brother.
The town has been experiencing frequent earthquakes of unknown origin for the past 30 years.
When Phoebe begins to live in the old mansion left by her grandfather, she notices a strange contraption on the living room floor.
She also finds a lot of high-tech equipment that she has never seen before in her grandfather's basement laboratory.
Phoebe learns that her grandfather was once a member of the Ghostbusters, who saved New York City from being overrun by ghosts, but she accidentally opens a device called a "ghost trap" that she finds under the floor.
This triggers the release of an eerie green light, and more strange things begin to happen in the city...
