It has been announced that voice actors Ayaka Kobari, Maki Kawase Taito Ban Kawase, Ami Koshimizu , Toru Inada, and Tetsu Inada."
Kobari, who plays Idie, a curious girl who discovers the main character, Himegami Akira, waking up in the world of the future, commented, "It was a lot of fun playing the carefree Idie, who expresses her emotions with all her might, and it really energized me. I hope that I can convey that innocent energy to everyone who watches the film! Also, I feel that 'Elsie,' which Idie also talked about in the promotional video, is a major theme of this film, making us think about how we connect with people. I, too, am looking forward to the start of this journey in a world 200 years in the future!"
Saka, who plays Kalkram, a male heir apparent to the Lontano family, a mafia that controls the town of Aomori, said, "This work is set in a world 200 years in the future, where a very different form of love exists than in modern times. While the main character Akira shows us the straightforward and pure form of love that is typical of a high school student, Kalkram, whom I play, is a character who shows us a form of adult love that is intertwined with various circumstances and feelings. Please look forward to this unprecedented love story woven by a cast of unique characters!"
Koshimizu, who plays Fides, Kalkram's real sister and another candidate to inherit the Lontano family, said, "The world view that is different from the modern one, woven together by a special system, is very interesting. If I were to wake up in the future 200 years from now...I would definitely panic (laughs). Fides, whom I played, is a strong and dignified person, but she also has a lot on her mind and a delicate side, so it was a role that was worth playing! I myself am looking forward to it airing!!"
Kawase, who plays Haniyama, a female employee of OWEL, the unification organization that manages the country, said, "Because it is an original work, I wondered what kind of person Haniyama is and what she is thinking. However, I was directed to pay attention to the 'distance of the heart' in the dialogue, and I remember grasping the 'love' contained in the words she spoke to that person while acting. I hope you will look forward to the 'love' of Haniyama and the others!"
Shiraishi, who plays Ajisai, the proprietress of the hot spring resort Kizunoyu and Haniyama's "Sierra," commented, "This work depicts many different forms of love, and Ajisai is also a strong woman who has someone she truly loves. I did my best to express what it means to "love" as Ajisai so that you can fully understand the meaning of meeting Ajisai and the others on her journey to find Towasa. As this is an original work, I hope you will enjoy the excitement of not being able to predict what will happen in each episode, and the different forms of love that each one depicts."
Inada, who plays Vale, an OWEL employee who is ordered to move to Omiya, said, "When I was decided to appear in this anime, the first thing I did was search for the title. Nothing came up. Of course, it's an original work. It seems realistic, but the values and ethics are slightly different. These slight differences, which don't make it completely different, made it interesting to act. I don't know any of the episodes other than the one I appear in, so I'm looking forward to watching it air."
Sato, who plays Caster, also plays Vale's "Sierra," who is good at sewing and painting, commented, "I want to accept it, but I can't give in, and I feel conflicted because they are family and I love them. It was a heart-wrenching recording. I wonder what the form and state of love is for everyone else living in the world 200 years from now. As a viewer, I would like to share my feelings with everyone after watching it."
"Eternal Yugure" is a full-fledged love story set in a future world where AI technology has advanced. The protagonist, Himegami Akira, who has pledged his love to his beloved, Ou Maki Towasa, wakes up from years of cold sleep to find a city devastated by war.
