Rick Gladiator (CV. Takuya Sato)

He is a new adventurer who decided to leave his job as a guild clerk at the age of 30 and become an adventurer.
After two years of "something terrifying beyond hellish training" from the senior members of the "Orichalcone Fist", a party considered the strongest on the continent, he grows up to be a young adventurer. The days of repeated death and resuscitation are deeply traumatic for him.

Takuya Sato's comment
Q1: What is your impression of this film?
It is an energetic work that pushes people to take a step toward tomorrow, breaking down stereotypes of age, gender, and status in pursuit of one's dreams!
The focus is on a man who strives, strives, strives to the death, and after all that he has achieved a tremendous amount of self power, but the stories of the characters surrounding him are also fascinating, and even as I write this, I can't wait to read more.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about playing him?
She is a clumsy Alaska teenager. However, she is kind, and her eyes are as bright and straightforward as a boy's.
I feel a lot of sympathy and respect for him as he is in the middle of pursuing his childhood dream.
Like Rick, he has a group of friends who are too good for him!
People say "old man, old man," but I am almost a year older than Rick.
I will do my best to not let myself be swept away! Please give me your best wishes!

Leannette Erfeldt (CV. Saori Ogasawara)

A legendary half-dark elf, nicknamed "Dansai Kenki" (断裁剣姫), who once won a legendary 9999 consecutive victories in the underground arena. She is now dressed in a maid's uniform and takes care of the household chores of "Orichalcone Fist".
She meets Rick because of a certain incident and invites him to her party.

Saori Ohsawa's comment
Q1. Impression of this work
A story about an equal-aged man who becomes the strongest with 100% effort!
I think the "100% effort" is the key...!
I have lived for a good number of years, but seeing the main character Rick's effort.... I've been living for a good number of years, but when I see how hard my hero, Rick, works, I get a strange feeling that I can push myself to do even better.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and how do you feel about playing him?
Leannette is basically a cool and unassuming beauty.
When she and Rick are together, I wonder if there is a good balance between the expressive Rick and the expressionless Leanette....
It is difficult for even me to understand her feelings as I play her. I will do my best!

Bronston Ash Orc (CV. Kenta Miyake)

He is a rare Orc who became an adventurer and is nicknamed the "Wise One.
He leads the current "Orichalcone Fist" and Rick looks up to him as his mentor.
Despite his huge physique, he excels at healing and other supportive magic, and can even resuscitate the dead as soon as they are dead.

Comment from Kenta Miyake
Q1. What is your impression of this work?
If you feel like an old man, you must have dreamed about it at least once. I think you can be a brave man even now. ......
In fact, I, Kenta Miyake, who has a strong sense of middle-aged self, often have such dreams in my head.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you are going to play and how do you feel about playing him?
The character I am voicing, Broxton, is a giant Orc who has mastered the ultimate in ablative warfare.
He is very knowledgeable and is the biggest and the most famous person in the strongest party.
But the beliefs and ideas he reveals as he trains our hero Rick to death are beyond the comprehension of mortals.
He is truly one of our strongest members.

Midget Eldwarf (CV. Toshiyuki Toyonaga)

Half Dwarf, half Elf. She looks young at a glance, but her actual age is over 50.
He has been developing weapons that cannot be made by the technology of this world for himself, and is rumored by others to be able to manipulate technology 1000 years in advance, earning him the nickname "Millennium Workshop. He is known as the "millennium engineer." He loves women like no other.

Comment by Toshiyuki Toyonaga
Impression of this work
It is a work with a strong first impression of a setting without using the concept that an old man tries too hard and becomes too strong as a result.
I felt that the fact that the main character, Rick, is a young natural is also a point to be loved.

Q2: What is your impression of the character and your enthusiasm for playing him?
I am a pure Tokyo boy. I asked the director why he decided on a Kansai dialect Midget, which is purely Tokyo. He answered, "Because Kansai dialect does not exist in a fantasy world, I wanted a "Kansai dialect".
However, because of his Kansai dialect, we have worked hard to include many elements such as his aloofness and his great liking for people from the family that he lives with!

Alice Slate Dracul (CV. Misaki Hisano)

Aislate Drakul is a pure-bred vampire sister. Known as the "Devastation Witch Child", she is the most powerful and gifted attack magician on the continent.
Rick has been killed many times in training by her, who innocently plays with her by unleashing her powerful offensive magic that can gouge holes and the earth.
He is a huge meals.

Misaki Kuno Comment
Q1. Impression of the film
I thought the way the main character, Rick, was pushed around by his overly powerful party members was really a White character! It makes you want to root for him!
I also felt that the characters in the film are all unique and not only strong, but are also well drawn.

Q2: What is your impression of the character you play and your enthusiasm for the role?
The woman I play, Alice Slate, is a very cute looking woman, but in fact she is the strongest attack magician and a vampire! I hope I can express this gap between the two.
I hope I can express that gap. Also, I'm a very full-fed character, so I'll do my best to improvise during the eating scenes (laugh)!
I hope you can look forward to my interactions with Rick, which are always very funny!

Comments from the author have also arrived!

In celebration of the anime adaptation, congratulatory comments from the original author, Kishi Kiraku, character designer, Tea, and manga author, Ken Ogino, were also released.

Original story: Kiraku Kishi
I am filled with emotion.
I've wanted to make an anime version of my dream ever since I wrote my first novel as a high school student.
The fact that I was able to fulfill this dream a step ahead of the main character, Rick, is due to Tea's friendly character design and Ogino-san's superb drawing that grabs the hearts of the audience.
I think Kishi was very fortunate to have such great people in his life, just like Rick met the people at Orihalcon Fist. Thanks.
Recently I have been going to karaoke with my friends to strengthen my vocal cords.
I'm preparing to sing the OP and ED of my own work in the best condition. ...... Oh, I can't wait.

Character Design: Tea
A new male adventurer is trained to death by the strongest party and becomes invincible. Animation! Congratulations!
I am already thrilled that a work that I have been involved with, even if only a little, is being made into an anime.
Both the original work and the comic book version are really enjoyable, so as a viewer, I'm really looking forward to seeing Rick, Bronston and the other characters from Orihalcon Fist and many others moving and talking on the screen.
I hope that this will be a good opportunity for many more people to get to know the "New Male Adventurers"!

Manga: Ken Ogino
Congratulations on the TV anime adaptation!
I am a manga artist who has not created any story or character design, but I am as happy as if it were my own!
A few years ago, I was working as an assistant to a manga artist when my manga series in another magazine ended after a short period of time because it was not doing well.
I was able to work on such a wonderful work that it was made into an anime, and now I am able to make a living as a manga artist. This is the work that changed my life for the better.
How can a work that can change the lives of people for the better not be a White? I am sure that everyone who has not read the original novel or manga will enjoy this anime!
I am a big fan of movies, so when I adapt the original novel into manga, I draw it as if I were a movie director who hasn't written the screenplay.
What kind of pictures to draw, what kind of direction to use, how to distribute the pages, how to divide the frames, what parts to cut and what parts to expand... I am sure that the animation process will be similar.
I can't wait to see how this wonderful work will turn into an anime!

I can't wait to see how this wonderful work will turn into an anime!
