Key's 1st Crossover TV Anime KAGINADO Announces Its Premiere Date of October 12

 

 

KAGINADO is Key's first crossover anime project featuring the main characters from its popular game/anime series, such as Kanon, AIR, CLANNAD, Little Busters!, and Rewrite. The TV anime's official website has opened to announce its premiere date of October 12, 2021, and main voice cast members.

 

While most of the voice cast memres will be reprising their characters from the games and anime, Misuzu Kamio from AIR will be newly voiced by Asami Sanada, because the character's original cast Tomoko Kawakami passed away in 2011.

 

Sanada says, "When I was asked to join an audition, I remembered Kawakami-san from our time together on the radio and in anime. I admired the way she could play any role with ease and cheerfully pull us together! I felt the work and the role were able to reach the hearts of the viewers because she was such a wonderful person. I got goosebumps when I was informed that I had been chosen for the role, and even as I write this comment, I feel again the size of the role and the responsibility. I will once again firmly hold on to what I felt I wanted to cherish, and I will firmly carry on Misuzu that Kawakami-san carefully spun!"

 

 

"KAGINADO" story introduction:

 

 

The Private Kaginado Academy. This is a demon-infested place where the legendary warriors of the world have gathered..., or rather, an utopia where they have squeezed out more tears than the total amount of water in Lake Biwa (estimated) from Key fans around the world for over 20 years. The goal of the Kirahoshi, who couldn't get enough of the fans' tear glands and have finally broken down the walls of the world and gathered together, is to enjoy a new school life in a new world. Free, joyful, and happy in every way. A dreamlike story begins.
