by It has been announced that the new TV anime “Shinkalion Change the World” from the “Shinkalion” anime series, in which Shinkansen trains transform into robots, will be broadcast on TV Tokyo in April.
The main cast was also announced, and it was revealed that voice actors Yosai Ishibashi, Kensho Ono, and Kamiba Tsuchiya will play the three second-year middle school boys who will become the main characters. Mr. Ishibashi will play Taisei Taisei, the main character who loves trains; Mr. Ono will play Akane Folden, the second son of an elite sports family, and Mr. Tsuchiya will play Ryota Kuzuryu, a mood maker who belongs to the railway club.
New “Shinkalion”! The main character is a middle school student, his partner is a childhood friend, and all new characters are released simultaneously. In the new work, Taisei Taisei and other drivers will operate the Shinkalion developed by the Super Evolutionary Railway Development Organization, commonly known as ERDA. They will fight against the unknown enemy, Unknown, who appears in various parts of Japan.
The cast of characters supporting Taisei and others has also been announced, with Hana Shugai as the navigator AI Vina, Kaede Hondo as Mai Ome, a second-year junior high school manager who is the manager of the railway department, and Chikahiro Kobayashi as the Shinkalion driver and dispatcher. It has been revealed that Kadomichi Takanawa and Eri Kitamura, who will be in charge, will play Taisei Ina, Taisei’s missing sister.
Mr. Ishibashi, who will play Taisei Taisei, said, “When I was a child, I really loved trains and Shinkansen trains, and I often went to Ueno Station and Tokyo Station to see Shinkansen trains and rare limited express trains with my mother. That’s why I decided to play Taisei this time. When I heard that, I was happy from the bottom of my heart! Taisei-kun is shy and can be easily pushed, but he is a severe and kind-hearted boy.
What are some ways for him to become an extraordinary person who can protect something? I wonder if it will grow into something… It will be a work that many people can enjoy, not only those who like Shinkansen but also those who have not had much opportunity to experience it until now.
Look forward to it!” he commented.
Mr. Ono, who plays Folden Akane, said, “I’m very honored to be able to appear in the new Shinkalion series. I want to do my best to show them (lol). This work is a story of Taisei and his friends growing into adults who can protect others through Shinkalion. I want to grow together with them. I appreciate your support!”
