posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The staff for the television anime of writer Nazuna Miki and artist Tsukasa Araki's So What's Wrong with Getting Reborn as a Goblin? (Tensei Goblin dakedo Shitsumon Aru?) manga announced three more cast members and the theme song artists on Wednesday. Music artist Sou is performing the anime's opening theme song, and four-piece band AHUB is performing the ending theme song.
The newly announced cast members are:
Natsuki Hanae as Albert, the third prince of the human empire, who used his skill "Eighth Time's the Charm" to corner the Demon King
Hiro Shimono as Izuiizu (character name romanization not confirmed), a small dragon that crash-landed in the Goblin Forest
Yukari Tamura as Tenchi Kaibyaku (literally, Creation of Heaven and Earth), a being with unknown identity, who harms goblins and humans it encounters without hesitation
Yen Press publishes the manga in English and describes the story:
Office worker Akira Yagami's altruistic nature usually gets him the short end of the stick. When he dies after saving a kid from oncoming traffic...he reincarnates in another world as a goblin?! Normally, goblins only live for seven days, but Akira's newfound powers let him defy the species' normal life span...and are the key to his path to becoming the strongest goblin ever!
The anime stars:
- Kikunosuke Toya as Akira
- Yōko Hikasa as Karen
- Azusa Tachibana as Chloe
- Banjō Ginga as Simon
- Sayumi Suzushiro as Eirene
