The comments from each cast member are as follows:
◇ Yusuke Kobayashi, who plays the role of Chojo Jun
I'll be voicing Chojo Jun! He's a scumbag! But he can be cool sometimes! But he's still a scumbag!! I'm portraying that contrast in his personality so clearly it might give you heartburn! This is a comedy that the entire cast is working hard on, and I hope you enjoy it!
◇Aonori Misa, who plays the role of Naoki Ippongi
Nao-chan is not only cute, but she's also a girl with a strong, almost "physically" powerful charm. I feel her characteristic warmth in how she notices Meguru's clumsy kindness. During the recording, the fast-paced dialogue was really fun, and I put all my effort into my comedic retorts so as not to be left behind. I hope you laugh a lot and enjoy watching it!
◇ Maria Naganawa, who plays the role of Robo-kun
I love Robo's sparkling eyes, his tiny mouth and cute cheeks, his gentle demeanor and ability to do his job well, and the fact that he looks down on humans. I'll do my best to share Robo's charm with everyone, sometimes as a car, sometimes as a claw machine, and sometimes as that character at a family restaurant! Thank you for your support.
◇Daisuke Ono, who plays the role of Daisuke Ono
A fantastic voice recording session filled with smiles. Gag manga is always fun. I'm playing Inukai with coolness, passion, and intense emotion. Stay tuned!
◇Toshiya Miyata, who plays the role of Hajime Enain
I will be playing the role of Hajime Enain. I'm having a lot of fun doing the voice recording, even though I'm trying to hold back my laughter. This is a show that will definitely make you laugh! Please look forward to "Super Tour! Super Senior"!
◇Nobuaki Kanemitsu, who plays the role of Mr. Hoss
Is everyone drinking? I'm sober! This is Kanemitsu Nobuaki, playing the role of Hossaka Chihiro, also known as Hoss-san. Hoss-san is a pretty free-spirited old man, but I'm not going to be outdone and will be playing him just as freely! Please enjoy the fusion of "Hoss-san" and "Kanemitsu," two old men! Hiccup♪
◇Kanna Nakamura as Riri Senri
This is Kanna Nakamura, playing the role of Riri Senri. Riri is a prim and proper girl who loves cats, but she also has a surprising side...? The voice recording sessions are a fun environment where everyone is eager to laugh! More and more eccentric characters will appear. The inn, Kabukicho, is full of weird people. Riri is the normal one. There are lots of parts that will make you laugh out loud, so I hope you'll watch it soon! I'm looking forward to the finished product too!
◇ Assistant Banpei, played by Kazuki Ura
Hello everyone living in the Reiwa era! I'm voice actress Kazuki Ura. To be able to work on a project by Numa Shun, a writer I admired during my student days...! I'm so happy! The character I'll be playing this time, Ban Heisuke, is a middle school student with a strong personality that goes against the times. I worked hard to portray his straightforwardness and honesty about his desires, sweating as I went along. I hope you'll enjoy his soulful roar in the anime! Please look forward to the broadcast!
