2nd Page Cast's Character Love Explodes! Anime 'Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None' - Manaka Iwami Reveals What Orun and Takeo Ōtsuka Have in Common | ANIME NEWS

In the character talk that followed, the discussion centered on the protagonist Orun. As Ōtsuka spoke about Orun's strength to move forward even after being expelled, Taichi cut in with "Orun has so many lines!" and the studio was filled with laughter. Ōtsuka also nodded, saying "No matter how many times I turned the script pages, it kept saying Orun (lol)," while reflecting on the recording, "It was certainly tough, but with direction guidance, I was able to carefully build it up each time."

Iwami also touched on the reason why Orun's power was misunderstood as "jack-of-all-trades," commenting, "Maybe his ability was hard to recognize because he provided support smoothly without showing off his power arrogantly," and "But such subtlety is also part of Orun's appeal." Furthermore, regarding Ōtsuka, she said, "Ōtsuka-san has really good articulation! But he doesn't show off like 'I'm amazing, right?' He doesn't show off that he didn't stumble over words, which I think is a common point with Orun (lol)." Ōtsuka immediately retorted, "It would be annoying if I did (with a smug face) 'How was that?' after recording finished!" inducing laughter.

The cast's "love" also exploded for Sophia, Logan, and Caroline. Taichi passionately spoke about Sophia, saying "I want to protect her, but she has real ability and reliable aspects too, which is her appeal. Ahh~ she's really my type," and Tachibana also spoke with a smile about Logan, saying "Both the cheeky feeling at first and the feeling of following Orun-san afterwards, such a lovable shota! Makes me want to take care of him." Ōtsuka expressed about Caroline, "She still holds the most mystery. A character I'm curious about in the future," calling for attention.

Furthermore, the topic moved to the recording site. When Ōtsuka looked back saying "It was lively," Tachibana immediately retorted, "Really!? Ōtsuka-san doesn't talk at all!" After that, while Ōtsuka said "I basically don't talk at any recording site!" he revealed that at this site he often talked with Saori Ōnishi and Yoshiki Nakajima, who were seated next to him. Taichi also agreed, "Saorin (Ōnishi) has amazing communication skills and talked to everyone." Everyone spoke in unison about the presence of the "mood maker," creating a scene that conveyed the harmonious atmosphere of the site.

Within the program, the latest PV of the work was also unveiled for the first time. The PV showed a development where further difficulties approach Orun, who joined <<Night Sky's Silver Rabbit>>, and the figure of the mysterious woman Shion (CV: Akane Fujita) also appeared. In this PV, Shion's character voice was revealed for the first time.

After that, when Ōtsuka vaguely said "I can't say yet~" about future highlights, the studio erupted in laughter. While prefacing that he could only say what was allowed, he spoke with implications, "It looked a bit like a pinch situation."

Also, Taichi said, "Things are getting incredible... really incredible," and Iwami also appealed with full force while being vague, saying "It's incredible, right. Various other characters appear too, so pay attention to others besides Shion-san." Meanwhile, Tachibana revealed her true feelings about the new heroine's appearance, saying "From my perspective, she suddenly appears and acts like the main wife... it's a bit irritating!" inducing laughter.

In the special project "All-Rounder Challenge," they challenged five events: bean transfer, kendama, bottle flip, tongue twisters, and RC car parking, deciding "all-rounder," "jack-of-all-trades," or "hopeless" based on total time.

Among them, what everyone struggled with most was RC car parking. The studio was engulfed in laughter as everyone forcibly completed parking without caring about bumping into the frame. Furthermore, Ōtsuka also showed his clumsy side with bean transfer, bottle flip, and RC car operation. It became a chaotic time attack where each cast member's unexpected weaknesses emerged.

At the program's ending, there was a flow to conclude with "skillfully doing kendama" as a prayer for further hits for the anime. Everyone screamed "Why~!" and "This is the first time for such an ending!" at the pressured ending, and the program closed with a lively atmosphere until the very end.
