Anime “I'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire!” Dubbing Behind-the-Scenes! Ayana Taketatsu Talks About the “Honey Trap” Scene with Liam: “I Had So Much Fun Recording It!”

Furthermore, when introducing Christiana (Tia), the first princess of the Sacred Lieb Kingdom and a knight who personally protects her kingdom, Mikako Komatsu revealed a “casting secret.” She began, “The casting around Tia was done with a specific intention!” and continued, “When we opened the lid, we realized that the voice actors were actually ones who had played a family together in another title. When I asked about it, the official staff knowingly grinned and said, ‘It was on purpose.’” Upon hearing this, Ueda and Taketatsu expressed their surprise, saying, “Really?!”

Although in the anime, Tia’s family was shown tragically destroyed by space pirates led by Goaz, Komatsu noted that in the other project, they were a warm and close-knit family. Reina Ueda and Ayana Taketatsu reflected, “So the production staff had some fun with casting! I’d love to compare the two versions,” and spoke fondly about the creative playfulness.

Additionally, the program included a variety corner themed after the series. In the segment “Viewers’ Poll! Which Amagi Do You Like Best?” the top three Amagi cuts showing various expressions in the ending sequence—as chosen by viewers—were revealed, showing the cast’s preferences. In “Expressing the Charm of the Anime Through Senryu Poetry: Star Intergalactic Empire,” the cast’s creative talent shone through, filling the studio with laughter at their poetic creations.

A video message from Natsuki Hanae, who plays Liam Sera Banfield, also arrived during the program. He spoke about his favorite character, highlighting “the charm in their expressive performances.” The entire event was filled with lively and friendly talk.
