LAIDBACKERS", the "last theatrical original anime in the Heisei era", started its two-week limited theatrical run on April 5 (Fri.). On April 6 (Sat.), the second day of its release, a total of five members of the "Isekai Tensei" cast, including Rina Hidaka (Harami Mino), Himika Akaneya (Mai Maisaka), Yuha Daichi (Kusanagi K), Yumi Uchiyama (Arnelia), and Maria Naganawa (Ran), gathered for a stage greeting. In addition, director Hiroyuki Hashimoto will also be present. In addition, director Hiroyuki Hashimoto also took the stage. Here is a report on the event held at Shinjuku Piccadilly in Tokyo.

After the screening of the film, all the speakers appeared in front of the audience to thunderous applause. When the director asked for a few words at ......, Hashimoto lightly blurted out, "I am Hiroyuki Hashimoto, who plays Kizuna Eye. Director Hashimoto had also said "I'm Hiika Akaneya" at the completion announcement preview, and the audience laughed at his standard greeting. Hidaka, Akaneya, Daichi, and Uchiyama then greeted the audience at a good tempo, and Naganawa, whose turn came last, said in her unique innocent voice and slow tone, "What do you all say ...... now that you have finished watching it?　A hokey state ......?　I hope you enjoy it now! The audience gave him a warm round of applause. The cast members and the director, who were watching over Naganawa as he tried his best to speak, looked like guardians, and the venue was filled with a warm and friendly atmosphere.

The Shinjuku Piccadilly theater was the second venue for the stage greeting, but this was the first time for a post-screening greeting. This meant that the talk was spoiler-free, but Director Hashimoto said, "There are not many things that should not be spoiled. The cast members were puzzled by his shocking words, "What in the world have we been hiding? The cast members were puzzled, but the fun of "LAIDBACKERS" is that you can enjoy watching it regardless of whether or not there are any spoilers. The scene in the film in which "Harami and his friends went to the Gozan Okuribi (Bonfire on Mount Gozan), but could not see it because of rain" was based on a real experience of heavy rain when Hashimoto and his team actually went to Kyoto to cover the event. The cast members were very excited to hear the director's personal feelings about the scene, saying, "It was frustrating that we were the only ones who didn't get to see it, so we decided to make sure the characters didn't get to see it either. The cast members could not hide their surprise. The cast members could not hide their surprise.

The cast members seemed to be surprised, saying, "That's not possible! The question was "What do you like about each other's characters? When Naganawa answered that Harami "actually has a bigger capacity than anyone else," Hidaka responded with a big smile, "I'm surprised you noticed that! As for K, everyone (except Daichi himself) seemed to share the opinion that K is actually a nerd just like Daichi himself, but Akaneya quickly followed up by saying, "I really felt K's kindness when I played Mai. Daichi responded, "Mai has a great gap!　I think she adapts to this world better than anyone else and is very dexterous. Everyone praised Ran's character, saying "She's so cute! Everyone praised Ran, saying, "She's so cute! Everyone seemed to be in love with Ran, who was so cute that it was hard to believe that she was a demon king. The last one was Arnelia from ...... or is it a dog? Arnelia, the "dog. The director treated her roughly, saying, "But she's a dog, isn't she? The director's comment, "I can feel the love for Arnelia in the smallest details," (Hidaka) is a testament to his love for the character.

Some of the tweets that were sent to the "LAIDBACKERS" support team recruiting campaign on Twitter included, "Arnelia was always glowing.　Is there actually a great backstory? The question was posed to Director Hashimoto: "The day has finally come for the film to be shown to the public. The cast members were surprised to hear that there was actually nothing to it. The theory that Arnelia was glowing as a remnant of her blonde hair when she was in human form was born from a drawing by Jiro Suzuki, the original designer of the character, which led to the idea that she was glowing all the time by the filming staff. The cast members were impressed by the unexpected revelation of this behind-the-scenes story, saying "Wow! The cast members were impressed by this unexpected behind-the-scenes story. So it turns out that Arnelia's glowing is neither a special ability nor anything else.

The fun-filled talk about everything from behind-the-scenes production to love for the characters came to an end in a blink of an eye. The session ended with a message overflowing with love for the work.
Hashimoto: ""LAIDBACKERS" has only just begun in my opinion, so please continue to support us so that it will lead us to the next stage!
Naganawa: "This is a work that will be created by all of you, so if you found it interesting today, please let your imagination run wild (laugh) and I hope we can create it together from now on.
Uchiyama: "I hope that everyone can see it in the theater and receive the behind-the-scenes stories, and I hope we can make it more exciting with your help.
Daichi: "We were able to create such an enjoyable work with such fun members. I don't know what will happen depending on your support, so please continue to support us.
Akaneya: "I think it's such a dense work that it's a waste that it's only for two weeks. I would like to expand it even further from here.
Hidaka: "The atmosphere at the site is really like a family, and everyone is a part of that family. I would like to make it more and more exciting with your help, so I would be happy if you could watch it over and over again and spread the word, even though it will only be for a short period of two weeks.

LAIDBACKERS will be on view through Thursday, April 18. In addition to the collaboration with "Shichirin Yakiniku Yasuyasu," a collaboration with Sanno Harami, the "Elemental Story" puzzle-erasing game, and the "Obakeya" store at Shibuya Marui, the film can be enjoyed in a variety of places outside of the theater. We hope you will continue to support "LAIDBACKERS"!
