Eight new cast members for the movie have just been revealed and they were given visuals that compare them with their source material:
Kaede Manyuda (Played by Taishi Nakagawa):
Sayaka Igarashi (Played by Yurika Nakamura):
Runa Yomotsuki (Played by Natsume Mito):
Itsuki Sumeragi (Played by Ruka Matsuda):
Yuriko Nishinotoin (Played by Natsumi Okamoto):
Nanami Tubomi (Played by Kiyo Matsumoto):
Midari Ikishima (Played by Miki Yanagi):
Jun Kiwatari (Played by Yuma Yamoto):
An interesting observation on the casting: They actually made genuinely sharp casting choices when it comes to characters’ appearances. It’s important to note because Hollywood can’t go through one anime adaptation without whitewashing, let alone finding actors who look the part. But here we can see it’s definitely possible to find actors that actually look like the characters they are supposed to play. I just thought it was worth noticing.
