The TV animation "School Island", which is a girl-themed zombie, is based on a manga that is being serialized on the Hobunsha "MangaTimeKiraraForward", and has begun to air. On the official website, it was announced that Kei Mirose, Yamaya Ozawa, and M.A. O, Takahashi Lee, Chino Ai and Eimiri Kato, the official interview of the 6 leading voice actors. Let's take a look at what they think about their respective roles.

- First of all, please tell us a little bit about the roles you play.

Yuki Shogun / Kei Minase (below, Minase): Yuki is a cheerful and lively girl, but she's not exactly "energetic", and at the same time, she has a soft place that makes everyone smile together.

Mebi Suzawa Kumo/Ozawa Ya Li (below, Ozawa): Kumo-chan is also a girl full of vitality and boyishness. I always like to use a shovel - like this, as if I was my comrade-in-arms, I resist on my shoulder. Although it looks strong, there is also something very girly...... It's a very cute girl.

Wakasa Yuri / M· A· O (below, M·A· O): Yuri is very gentle, and she is also very good at housework, and she will take action only after giving full consideration to the things around her - how to put it, like a mother.

Miki Naoki / Takahashi Li Yi (below, Takahashi): Mijun is a junior of the school life department.,Unconsciously supporting the seniors.,There's a potential "sense of junior".,It's a calm girl who quietly supports the seniors.。

Sakura Ci / Chino Ai (below, Chino): Sister Ci is a consultant teacher in the school life department. I'm always trying to be a good teacher, but occasionally I'm just busy in vain (laughs). I want to create a gentle teacher who is very cute and considerate of students.

- I see. Taro Maru played by Nakato......

Taro Maru/Eimiri Kato (below, Kato): Yes. It's a dog! (laughs) is a cute puppy that should be a healing system.

Takahashi: It's a very dexterous dog. The mind is also very smart.

Kato: You're also very good at communicating.

Chino: It's rare to see a dog that understands emotions and sorrows.

── Is there anything you particularly wanted to pay attention to when playing your respective roles?

Mizuse: Yuki is a child full of vitality, but by no means a "noisy child". So even when you're noisy, be careful to use a soft voice. In Episode 1, there are a lot of scenes where patterns are used to express Xiàn's laughter, and in such scenes, the emotions will be even more elevated, so that the soft parts of Yuki's character will sound sharp. In fact, there are many dominant parts of the picture, so you should pay extra attention not to increase the volume.

──Yuki's behavior is very cute.

Mizuse: For example, when you record a meal scene, the sound of eating is directly heard in other works. But in "School Island",If the script says "はむはむ" or "もぐもぐ" (onomatopoeia for eating),I'll pronounce it like that.。 In the case of laughter, although the script says "hehe", Yuki is originally a child who laughs "hehe" like that....... Like "Hiragana Sense" (laughs), I take great care to keep the soft and gentle part of my voice.

Ozawa: Kumo-chan is a girl with a slightly tough tone, but I don't want to play it too much. And if you are influenced by the cute style of painting and act cutely, you lose the feeling of reliability. Cute and reliable - I've been struggling to strike a balance between the two. At the moment, I don't have a clear definition of what it feels like for walnut sauce to be "like this", so I'm doing my best to interpret it.

──M· A· Sister Li played by O is the minister of the school life department.,It's also a pillar like a zài.。

M·A· O: Yuri is a minister, and he is very calm while caring about everyone. I want to act with affinity, and it is a feeling that can accommodate everyone. In addition, Yuri and Kumo-chan are very serious when they discuss the activities of the life department, and they are very bright when they come into contact with Yuki-chan. I wish I could interpret different feelings depending on who I'm talking to.

Takahashi: Mi-kun...... The word "tsundere" is more apt.

- Yes, yes (laughs).

Takahashi: When I played Mi-kun, I realized that sometimes even the "proud" part of her "tsundere" is actually the embodiment of "coquettishness". Don't refuse, it's not bad to have an inclusive tsundere. Speaking of "pride", it will give people a feeling that it is not easy to get close to...... But Mijun is "a knee-jerk reaction when she is shy, who didn't even notice it." It would be nice if I could express this feeling in the contact between Mijun and the seniors.

- Sister Ci played by Chino is the only adult character among the characters on the stage.

Chino: But I don't feel very mature (laughs). Because the nickname is "Sister Ci", it's a friend, or the feeling of being followed like a sister. Therefore, I don't want to make people feel that this character is too "annoying". It's usually a friend's feeling, but it's also strict where it should be, and I want to play this in a relaxed way. But it's not so much harshness as thoughtfulness, which can also be seen in her expression.

Kato: As I mentioned earlier, Taro Maru is very good at communicating with everyone. So, I aimed for the middle line between humans and dogs. Although I don't have the same feelings as humans, and I can't speak, I always feel that the atmosphere is connected with everyone. That's how I understand Taro Maru's cry.

──Depending on the scene, there is also a place where Taro Maru guides the camera.

Kato: That's right. If it is a scene with a slight sense of urgency, this feeling will be expressed through the cry of Guòtaro Maru. If it's a mild scene, it will make a slightly cute sound. While thinking about the state of the puppy that you know, she performed.

──The title is "School Island",So have you ever lived in the school?

Takahashi: I haven't, but I lived in kindergarten when I was still in kindergarten. Isn't there a boarding club in the kindergarten?

Ozawa: I think there is a childcare system.

Chino: But I didn't hear much about it in junior high school and high school. It's only before the school festival.,It's okay to stay longer.。

INTERVIEWER What would you like to do if you were allowed to stay?

Kato: I still want to test my guts! Want to test your guts?

Chino: Hmm...... (Everyone laughs) I want to play, but it's absolutely scary! (laughs)

M·A· O: It's scary to test your courage at school......

Ozawa: Absolutely not! School really doesn't work (laughs).

Takahashi: The music room decorated with portraits or something, it's pretty scary. Portrait painting is something that depicts people at the same time, and there is a soul in the painting......

Ozawa: (panicked) That's copying! No soul will go in!

- Ozawa really can't deal with ghosts.

Ozawa: No...... I'll be home right away. Absolutely no overnight stay! (laughs)

Chino: If you had to stay overnight, what kind of classroom would you choose?

Ozawa: (Immediately answers) Health room!

- That's exactly what happened (laughs).

Ozawa: If you get under the covers, you won't be ...... terrible things

Kato: I don't understand~ Maybe I'll be pulled under the covers by the brush (laughs).

Ozawa: Oh, no, let me die......

Takahashi: Give up so quickly! (laughs)

Ozawa: The other classrooms don't have quilts...... Ah, but what about the unexpected safety of ordinary classrooms.

Chino: Use curtains as quilts or something (laughs).

Takahashi: There's also a staff room where I haven't heard any horror legends~

Ozawa: ...... Ah, indeed! The staff room has a sense of life. There are a lot of mugs and stuff like that.

Chino: I feel a little at ease at school.

M·A· O: How's the pantry?

Takahashi: Ah, the pantry! But don't you often hear that (ghosts) come out of places where there is water?

Ozawa: Well, really...... (The audience laughs). Then I choose the room on the first floor that is furthest from the toilet.

Kato: What if I want to go to the toilet?

Ozawa: Don't go to the toilet!

Kato: Not going?! (All laughs)

- Are you scared of the haunted house? Ozawa doesn't seem to be able to do it at all (laughs).

Ozawa: I'm scared. Completely unable to control the body.

Takahashi: I'm scared, but I like it.

Mizuse: I don't have a sense of horror...... It's more about being scared of spending money. (laughs).

Chino: That's a mature idea (laughs). M·A· How about O-chan?

M·A· O: I'm definitely a good customer. Running while shouting. (laughs).

Chino: The customer who responded the most.

Kato: I'm the same. Although I felt terrible, I still went, and then I was so frightened that I ran away. (laughs).

──What about Chino? How do you feel?

Chino: I guess I'm also biased towards the Eri-chan faction......

Ozawa: (with a sigh of relief) Great!

Chino: I can't control my body, and I can't stop talking. "Who's there! Hello! That's (laughs). Anyway, if you feel like you're going to hear a ghost, you shout.

-- What are the types of intimidation?

Chino: So I don't go in unless I have to, but if I enter a haunted house, I start talking to them and try to have friendly contact (laughs).

Ozawa: If you have a clear personality, you can't be a ghost!

-- The topic has been skewed for 108,000 miles (laughs), so at the end, please tell us about the key points of "I want to see it here".

Kato: Personally, I would like you to pay attention to Taro Maru. It is a heartfelt performance that is not lost to the girls, so please be sure to pay attention to Taro Maru, who appears from time to time!

Chino: "School Island" is a work that I want to watch many times. If you watch it repeatedly, there will definitely be a lot of places like "Ah, yes, yes". …… There is a feeling of meaning (laugh).

Takahashi: The girls are really cute, so please enjoy watching them communicate!

Kato: Sure enough, dialogue is very important.

Takahashi: Yes. I hope that you can see the relationship between the characters from the dialogue.

M·A· O: The Friends Quad is full of vitality in the school life department, and when you see them, if the audience thinks "it's so cute", "Come on!" "I'm so happy.

Ozawa:There are very few members in the school life department, but everyone supports each other and conducts club activities to find "happiness". Although there are many painful things to experience while alive, it is very important to feel "happy things". I think that's what animation is all about.

Mizuse: Of course, the characters are cute, but from my point of view, "What would you do in this scene?" "It's even more interesting if you watch it while thinking about it. It's not just about watching Yuki's daily life.,To enter the world view of "School Island" to feel your own thoughts.。 In addition, when you watch it, you may be surprised, "cute", or a little sad. If I watch it with such an intuitive feeling, I will be really happy.
