Yui Ishikawa & Kaede Hondo Describe "The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold To Another Kingdom" in a Single Kanji: "Love Wins!" [Overlap Bunko Special Program Report]

■New "Food-Terror" Anime "Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!"—Pay Attention to the Sound of Cooking?!

Next, in the segment for the new "another world gourmet drama fantasy" anime "Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant!," Shunsuke Takeuchi (Dennis), Marika Tachibana (Atelier), Sayumi Suzushiro (Henrietta), and Mariya Ise (Vivia) appeared.

The story follows Dennis, who is expelled from a top-notch adventurer party and fulfills his dream of opening a restaurant, offering warm meals to outcast adventurers—a narrative brimming with kindness. Also a topic of conversation as a "food-terror anime," the set reportedly had an equally heartwarming atmosphere. Tachibana, for whom this was her first regular TV anime role, commented, "I was very nervous, but everyone was really kind, so I was able to approach the recording with peace of mind!"

Ise reflected, "Even though she said she was nervous, when Tachibana stood in front of the mic, she performed sincerely and professionally as Atelier. I found her attitude wonderful. Shunsuke Takeuchi, who was seated next to her, supported her just like Dennis would, and it was nice seeing how everyone looked out for each other—it echoed the dynamics of the characters."

The four then shared the charm of the story, each highlighting memorable scenes they selected. They enthusiastically discussed the unique appeal of this anime set in a fantasy world’s restaurant—not only the visuals but also the "sounds" of the food which seemed like you could almost smell them through the TV, and the lively exchanges between characters.
