Headline news for December 5, 2024



In conjunction with the release of the latest volume 6 of the web comic ' The Lady Protected by the Gorilla God is Loved by the Royal Knights ' today, Thursday, December 5, 2024, the teaser visuals, main cast, main staff, and broadcast start date from April 2025 for the anime version have been announced.



Comments from the cast are as follows.

Kanna Nakamura (role of Sophia Leelah):
I'm Nakamura Kanna, and I'll be playing the role of Sophia.
When I first came across this work, I wondered what kind of girl a young lady with the blessing of the gorilla god is.
She is a shy, innocent and hardworking girl.
Gorillas are not only strong, but also kind-hearted animals.
Although there are some tough scenes thanks to Kagome, it's a heartwarming romantic comedy!
The atmosphere on set was very friendly and I had a lot of fun acting. Please look forward to the broadcast!

Louis Scarrel's voice actor, Takeo Otsuka:
Including Louis, who I voice, many unique characters and various blessings appear in the story, making it a lively one.
Be sure to keep an eye on how the main character, Sophia, will perform her duties under the 'protection of the Gorilla God.'
I'm sure that anyone who experiences this work will feel relaxed, their heart fluttering, their heart racing, and maybe even fall in love with gorillas.
Please look forward to the anime broadcast!

Reiji Kawashima (Isaac Shean):
I remember the voice acting industry was in an uproar, saying, 'A gorilla has come!?' (laughs)
As for the highlights, what on earth will happen if you receive the protection of the gorilla god?
And it's about a woman?! And it's a romantic comedy?! It's a very catchy story, and the highlight is the movie.
Is the character Isaac in charge of love? Or the comedy?
Please look forward to 'Gori Romantic Comedy.'

Takuma Nagatsuka (Eddie Ferres):
Eddie was a character that I could easily get into and naturally fit into, so I was very happy to be entrusted with the role. Among the crazy, fun characters, he is a very important cool character.
While comparing the character to the original work, I tried my best to portray him in a way that would bring out his charm.
thank you!

In addition, there is also a campaign in which 5 people who follow the official X account and repost the following post by 11:59 p.m. on December 19, 2024 will be randomly selected to receive a special 500 yen QUO card featuring the teaser visual.
