Rumiko Takahashi has commented: "Happy New Year. In the year of the Tiger, "Urusei Yatsura" will be animated again. The character designer is Naoyuki Asano from "Osomatsu-san". I love "Osomatsu-san" and watched it without fail, so I'm very happy. Forty years ago, "Urusei Yatsura" was also a work that was blessed to be played by the best voice actors, including Toshio Furukawa and Fumi Hirano. This time too, Hiroshi Kamiya, Sumire Uesaka of Lamb, all the other characters, and the voice actors of the leading role are surprised at the luxury. Please look forward to it, viewers. The scenario is also interesting, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how Directors Takahashi and Kimura will visualize it. I think it will be a work that both fans of the past and those who do not know "Urusei Yatsura" can enjoy, so please take a look."
Additionally, Toshio Furukawa and Fumi Hirano have answered questions and welcomed the new cast members:
Q1. What do "Urusei Yatsura" mean to Mr. Furukawa? I think it's an anime that has expanded the range of defense from the previous anime, for example, the second character like the main character of a giant robot, to the third character like a hit. I think that encountering such epoch-making works has an important meaning in continuing to work as an active player for the rest of my life.
Q2 To Mr. Hiroshi Kamiya, who newly plays Ataru Moroboshi , I think that there are as many acting theories as there are professional voice actors. The acting theory in this case refers to "creating a role = acting plan", but it is interesting that each person is different, and of course, I am looking forward to Kamiya-san's unique hit. Before that, everyone will admit that Kamiya-san has already established his acting theory so well that he doesn't need any advice or ale from others.
Q1. What do "Urusei Yatsura" mean to Mr. Hirano? The anime "Urusei Yatsura" is my debut as a voice actor. And Lum-chan is an ideal female image for me as well as fans. It is an irreplaceable work even after 40 years have passed since the broadcast started. When I think about it now, despite the debut work, it was the highest-class staff and the veteran co-stars who generously showed off their advanced skills as voice actors who were able to record without stress or anxiety. I am deeply grateful that this is because he naturally raised me like this. From some time ago, the staff at the workplace started to say, "I want to tell me that I'm working together like this now." I am very honored and proud. Perhaps Toshio Furukawa, who plays the role of Darling, has the same experience. It is also our pride that the original author, Rumiko Takahashi, continues to produce hits and continue to play an active role on the front lines.
Q2. Welcome to Sumire Uesaka, who will play Lum, to Rumic World, our beloved Rumiko Takahashi! The new Reiwa Lum-chan was born in the year of the Tiger = Tiger! What do you say you should do other than expect this! By all means, please take good care of the darling's father and mother on the earth and have an outstanding performance! I'm looking forward to it too!!!
