The following comments have been received from Mr. Takano.

――The feeling when the role was decided, the impression when reading the script

I was instantly fascinated by the appearance of only one human being living with a robot.
On the day of the first dubbing, I was called as a temporary recording for making a video. There was no timing like the so-called 'I was accepted in this role', so I thought that it might be a work played by a different person someday. It was decided to use it as it is, and above all, I was glad that everyone who made the work was pleased.



--Message to domestic and foreign fans

Although it is a science fiction work, it is full of feelings that cannot be compared in scientific terms.
There may be such a world in the not too distant future. In such a case, what should a 'person' really be? What did you really want to cherish for yourself? It is a work that gives us a chance to think again.
I want you to see it because it is someone's 'important'. Please enjoy!

Comments from Kenjiro Tsuda, the role of Ryu, are as follows.

I have already been involved in various things in 'The Way of the Househusband', and I am very happy to be able to participate in animation. This cartoon is really interesting. I will do my best to convey this fun in anime. Please definitely watch it. Thank you very much. The anime version of 'The Way of the Househusband', if you lick it, you'll be crazy!




In addition, we have received comments from Director Chiaki Kon.

――How did you feel when you received the director's offer for this work?
Gap Moe! I've been waiting! Thank you!

――What kind of character do you think the main character, Ryu, is?
Pure and cute. You can make cute lunch boxes for your bride, collect points at the supermarket, and say, 'Is it really a legendary yakuza ?! ?? The husband is so good that he doubts! But I like the occasional 'plain violence' ♡

――Please give a message to the fans who are looking forward to the work.
I hope it will be a work that will make the viewer feel at home.
