Comment from Latina (CV: Kanon Takao) on the OP theme "I'm with you

I am pleased to announce that I will be in charge of the OP theme for the anime.
I love the world of the original work drawn by Ms. CHIROLU, and I have played the role of Latina with great care, but I am also very happy to be in charge of the OP as well.
During the recording, I sang the song as Latina, thinking of Dale. I hope that I was able to bring to life the voice and life of Latina that the fans of the original work envisioned in my songs.
I am thrilled that everyone will be able to hear the song, and I hope you will look forward to the anime broadcast and the OP theme as well!

Cast comments】 ※Titles omitted

Kenneth (CV: Takeshi Koyama)

He is the owner of "Dancing Tiger Cat Pavilion," a bar and inn where adventurers gather. He is a former adventurer and has known Dale since their working days together.

Comment from Takeshi Koyama (Kenneth)

This work is a work in which you can enjoy Kanade-chan's simply adorable performance and Nobu Okamoto's playful and silly performance.
I play the role of Kenneth, who, unlike his character inside, is a fresh and nice boy.
And the fact that his wife is played by Ms. Numakura is a real bonus.
I am honored to be involved in this wonderful work.

Rita (CV: Aimi Numakura)

Kenneth's wife. She and her husband run the "Dancing Tiger Cat Restaurant. She deals with rough adventurers and provides information from the "Green God's Message Board," which is in charge of information.

Comment from Aimi Numakura (Rita)

At first, the director said, "As long as Latina is cute! (laugh), so I have a strong impression of that. (That was my strong impression.) In fact, Latina is really, really cute!
Rita is one of those who are struck by her presence. I would like to watch Latina's growth together with her.

Chloe (CV: Yuki Kuwahara)

Latina's friend. She is a handsome girl who is the leader of the children.

Comment from Yuki Kuwabara (who plays Chloe)

This work is full of kindness and love. I have never raised a child, and I have no siblings, so I am not familiar with the way small children grow up, but watching Latina awakens in me a motherhood that I should not have had...! Chloe, who I will be playing, is a kind and vivacious girl with a strong sense of justice.
Dale's love and friendship with Chloe is one of the highlights of the show!
I hope you will warmly watch over Chloe and her friends as they slowly grow up.

Sylvia (CV: Marika Takano)

Latina's friend. She has a refreshing personality and is a little more mature than her age.

Comment from Marika Takano (Sylvia)

I enjoy the passage of time like my daughter. It was the first time for me to encounter a work in which I enjoyed the passage of time like "Our Musume.
I am always moved by the moments when I feel the characters' growth as if it were my own.
Sylvia, who Takano will be playing, is a girl with a strong sense of justice and curiosity who is naturally able to broaden her own horizons. I will play the role of this charming girl whom I myself admire.
Please look forward to her performance!

Rudy (CV: Mutsushin Tamura)

Latina's friend. He is a rather large boy for his age and is interested in Latina. ......?

■Mutsushin Tamura (who plays Rudy) comment

Latina is very cute! Not only cute, but very smart and nice! I can see why everyone is so smitten with her. Rudy is also crazy about Latina, but he is also cute when he is not honest. Enjoy their flirting and trying to win her over!

Marcel (CV: Yuki Hirose)

Latina's friend. He is a chubby little boy with a calm personality.

Comment from Yuki Hirose (who plays Marcel)

A healing fantasy that watches a young girl grow up! Latina is just adorable...! I really like the peaceful and gentle worldview of "Latina is just adorable. When Latina develops adult-like feelings, it should be a joyous occasion, but it also makes me feel lonely.
Marcel is a very gentle and soft boy, so I am trying to play him in a way that I can convey his charm as much as possible. This is my first time playing a boy, so I am very happy. I will give it my all!

Antony (CV: Fukuhara Katumi)

Latina's friend.
He is a slender, smart boy who can study well.

Comment from Katsumi Fukuhara (who plays Antony)

I think Latina is very cute! The way she grows up with the support of Dale and the people around her is also impressive, and I think it is a very heartwarming film!
The character I play, Antony, is 8 years old when he appears in the film and is a very smart boy. I try to keep my acting and voice quality as close to his age as possible. I hope you will pay attention to the dialogue with Rudy and the other characters!
