• Yuichi Nakamura (voice of Andy): What does this 1-hour special that has been announced have in store for us? I think the way the story is presented will change compared to a 30-minute piece, so I'm excited to see what kind of visuals they show us... I can't wait to see! I look forward to the day when we can all say together, 'It's great, it's amazing!'!
• Moe Kahara (voiced by Fuuko Izumo): Until just before I thought of this comment, the content of this big announcement was a secret even to me… Honestly, I was expecting a lot, so I'm incredibly happy!! I'm really excited to be able to see 'Undead Unluck' again in anime and to be able to play Fūko-chan again. As a fan of the original manga and as a voice actress, I'm looking forward to it. I'll continue to do my best to not fall behind Fūko-chan and the others, who have become even stronger after the Autumn Arc!
