■Comments from Cast

<Full Comment from Hibiku Yamamura, playing Agott>
After reading the original work, I cried over and over again, and absolutely, truly absolutely wanted to play this character. I approach each recording session savoring the happiness. During recording, every detail down to the subtle breathing is carefully directed, and it feels pleasant to be moving forward step by step together with all my co-stars.
It's a wonderful work where the charm of the original work jumps right out and sparkles brilliantly. I will also devote my heart to her and give my all so that I can deliver lots of sparkle as the voice of Agott.

I'm Kurumi Haruki, playing Tetia.
When I was cast in the role, I was so surprised I forgot to breathe, and tears of joy wouldn't stop flowing.
I received so much energy from her hardworking, kind, and loving character, and approached the recording with all my strength.
It's a delicate and beautiful animation that is truly magical.
With feelings of "thank you" to Shirahama-sensei, everyone who has been involved in and supported the work, and all the fans of the work, to everyone.
Thank you for your support!

From the time I read the original work during the audition, I was strongly drawn to the worldview of the work and the charm of the characters, so I'm truly happy to be able to play Richeh.
I absolutely love Richeh's kindness and inner strength within her quiet demeanor.
I will perform with all my heart so that we can deliver a wonderful work to everyone. Please look forward to the broadcast!

<Full Comment from Yūichi Nakamura, playing Olruggio>
I'm Yūichi Nakamura, playing the role of Olruggio.
I still remember well how, when I saw the original work during the audition, I strongly felt "I want to play a human being living in this world."
Before the main recording began, the anime's teaser video was released, and I was able to imagine the worldview of the work more concretely.
I'm very much looking forward to seeing what kind of transformation will occur when the original work's delicate illustrations move as animation and sound is added to it.
I hope that all of you will also experience the worldview that possesses both the gentleness this work has and the severity that can be felt simultaneously.
Please wait just a little longer until the broadcast.

I hope you'll look forward to the broadcast starting in April. Thank you for your support♪

When I received the offer and read the original work, they are just so mysterious! Mysterious! Too mysterious of an existence (lol)!!
So right now, it's like I'm just beginning to walk through the story together with Iguin, bit by bit from the information that's gradually spilling out...but it's a very fresh and interesting sensation!
I hope you'll travel through the world of "Witch Hat Atelier" with your heart moved alongside many attractive characters!

＜Full Comment from Eve＞
It is a great honor to be able to become part of the wonderful story that is "Witch Hat Atelier." I believe that magic is not a special power at all, but something that dwells in the hands of all people who continue to draw their wishes. Through "resonance" with others, even nights spent lost alone, and even past regrets and mistakes become lines that weave the future and connect. I also had suis-san sing, as if wishing for the same dawn from opposite places. I hope this song becomes an anthem that reaches all people trying to draw their own light through the magic called music.

I love how the girls in the work find new magic of hope by resonating and harmonizing with each other. Eve-san's composition overflows with the beauty of magic woven with kindness, and from the moment I first heard it, I thought "I want to experience this as the opening of 'Witch Hat Atelier'!" I also thought I wanted to bring warmth and strength in my hands and go to resonate with it. And if this song, which is an anthem, can bring some hope to everyone's daily lives...that would be magical and wonderful. Please look forward to it!

＜Full Comment from　Nakamura Hak＞
When I received this offer, there was pure surprise and, to be honest, some anxiety as well. However, after reading "Witch Hat Atelier," I was very moved, and I think I was able to turn those emotions directly into a song. When I encountered the work, the first thing that jumped into me was the word "despair." I connected sounds and words with all my might, thinking of the characters who wipe away tears and reach out their hands even in despair, and the bright days of all people living now. It is a great honor to have been able to participate in such a work.
