Additional cast announcement for Eternal Yugure

Additional cast members for the original TV anime "Eternal Yugure," produced by PAWORKS, the animation production company behind "true tears" and "SHIROBAKO," have been announced, with Miyuki Sawashiro, Tomori Kusunoki, Toshiyuki Morikawa, and Yohei Azakami joining the cast. The story is a full-scale love story set in the future, with Sawashiro playing Yoyyami, an android and one of the commanders of the OWEL special forces, Kusunoki playing Hakubo, another commander, Morikawa playing Oboro, who runs a wholesale store, and Azagami playing Yokurata, a former OWEL employee.

Sawashiro commented, "I was looking forward to recording to see how I would be able to participate in the world 200 years in the future. We will all tackle these questions: Who am I? What are you? What is love...? Please join us in the race!"

Kusunoki said, "As this is an original work, I read the script with excitement and nervousness. With the help of careful direction, I was able to imagine the world view woven together by the detailed settings and act. I think the charm of original works is that no matter how much you research, you never know what will happen next. I hope that many people will enjoy it."

Morikawa said, "He's a cheerful character who is elusive, friendly, a little mysterious, but very charming. I will do my best to ensure that you can enjoy Oboro's lovable character along with the world view of the work. Please look forward to it!"

Asagami commented, "I was happy to hear that I would be appearing in a PAWORKS production again after such a long time! It's a PA original production, and it's set 200 years in the future. It's a love story with an android that begins in an exciting world of future x devastation... I can't help but be excited about this, both as an actor and as a fan! I hope you'll enjoy the story until the very end, with your heart racing every week as the story unfolds!"
