It has been announced that Goto Yumiko and Domon Jin will appear as voice actors in the TV anime "CITY THE ANIMATION," based on the manga "CITY" by Arawi Keiichi, who is known for "Nichijou" and other works. Goto will play Tanabe Sumirekomi, and Domon will play Hodaka. The series is produced by Kyoto Animation, just like "Nichijou," and this will be the first time the company has worked on a new anime series, excluding sequels, in about six years.
Goto commented, "Even at first you might think it's an incredible place, before you know it you start to feel fond of it, and eventually you'll even want to live there - this town where everyone is energetic, quirky and kind, of all ages and genders, is intensely addictive. The recording site was stimulating, with each cast member coming up with something to match the unique personalities of the residents and the amazing animation, and we were laughing all the time - it was the ultimate 'CITY'! So please rest assured and wait for the broadcast! This was Goto Yumiko as Tanabe Sumire Sakurakomi, the innocent and innocent person of power."
Domon said, "I am very honored to be able to participate in another work by Arai Keiichi, following 'Nichijou'. My name is Domon Jin, and I will be playing Hodaka this time. As was the case with 'Nichijou', 'CITY THE ANIMATION' also has a plethora of characters. We voice actors also play multiple roles. There is a huge traffic jam in front of the microphone. For everyone who is looking forward to it, make sure to do your homework so you don't get overwhelmed by the number of characters."
"CITY" is a manga that was serialized in "Morning" (Kodansha) from 2016 to 2021. It depicts the lives of some slightly unusual people living in an ordinary "CITY", including penniless college student Nagumo Mitori, Nikura, and Izumi Wako.
The anime will be directed by Ishidate Taichi, known for "Beyond the Boundary" and "Violet Evergarden," and produced by Kyoto Animation, the studio behind the "Nichijou" TV anime. Mikako Komatsu will play the protagonist Nagumo Mitori, Aki Toyosaki play the protagonist's friend Nikura, and Ishikawa Yui will play Izumi Wako, the most mysterious character in the series. It will begin airing on ABC TV, TOKYO MX, and other channels from July 6.
