It has been announced that Yukari Tamura, Junichi Toki, Shunichi Toki will be voicing characters in the TV anime " A Tale of the Secret Saint, " based on the popular novel by Touya that originated on the novel submission site "Daiki Yamashita Miyuri Shimabukuro." The first key visual featuring the main character, Fia, and others has also been released.
Tamura, who plays Clarissa Abernesi, the commander of the Fifth Knight Order, commented, "Clarissa is a wonderful character who has both the sharp, commanding side befitting a knight commander and a girlish side. She doesn't appear in many scenes, but I was happy to be able to play her. I hope her cuteness comes across!"
Toki, who plays Enoch, the commander of the Third Magic Knights, said, "I played the role because I felt that his talkativeness about magic resonated with me, as I tend to talk at length about things I'm passionate about. Please look forward to seeing what kind of adventures the main character, Fia, will have. Thank you!!"
第一騎士団所属の騎士のファビアン・ワイナーを演じる山下さんは「この度、『A Tale of the Secret Saint』にて主人公フィーアの同期であるファビアンの声を担当させていただくことになりました。彼はとにかく良い人!という印象です！ ひたすらに真っすぐ、善意のみで構築されています！ 良い人過ぎて怪しく見えないように気をつけて演じてます！笑 フィーアを支えていく一人としての発展途上の彼の成長も見守って下さいませ」と呼びかけている。
Shimabukuro, who plays the gentle saint Charlotte, commented, "While playing Charlotte, who is brave and still lacks self-confidence, I often felt like, 'I want to protect her! I want to hug her!' I acted with the hope that Charlotte's purity and loneliness would be conveyed to everyone watching. I would be happy if you would watch along with us to see what kind of changes occur in Charlotte's heart through her encounter with Fia."
The story follows Fia Rude, a girl who aspires to become a knight despite being told she has no talent for swordsmanship, as she remembers her past life as a great saint with extraordinary, overpowered abilities. The series has sold over 4 million copies in total. The anime is directed by Tomoe Makino and produced by FelixFilm.
