“ATRI -My Dear Moments-” Episode 12: Haruno Anzu (voice of Nanami Ririka) | “Taking everything into account, I thought it was very youthful”The TV anime adaptation of “ATRI-My Dear Moments-“, the first title of Aniplex’s novel game brand “ANIPLEX.EXE”, has been airing since July 2024!

Animate Times interviewed the main cast members in conjunction with the broadcast. In the 12th interview, we continue from the previous one with Haruno Anzu, who plays Nanami Ririka!

There are only two episodes left in the story. As the conclusion is near, we asked Haruno-san to talk about her impressions of the recently aired 11th episode, as well as what she likes about each of the characters, Natsuo and Atori.

As this story comes to a close, the end of summer in real life is also approaching, but we hope that this will be an opportunity for people to learn more about this summer’s story.

–Looking back on the most recently aired episode, Episode 11, what do you think?

Haruno Anzu (Haruno), voice of Nanami Ririka: Natsuo decided to go back to the mainland, but I felt lonely, like a close friend from the neighborhood suddenly decided to move away. But it was Ririka who made him decide to go back, and I’m proud that Ririka became Natsuo’s driving force. But I was lonely, so I waved my hand and said, “I’m still here!”

Also, when Ririka says to Natsuo, “I don’t want you to just disappear without asking me,” Ryuji says, “The farewell party is going to be a big one, so prepare yourself.” Natsuo tries to say that it’s fine, but Yoko says, “No. This isn’t just for Natsuo, it’s for everyone.”

Yoko’s character design is cute and gyaru-like, and she talks a lot in the anime and gets involved in the story. I think it’s only because of the charm of the boy Natsuo that Ryuji, Yoko, and everyone else can be like, “Hey, hey!” I think they’ve become able to have a relationship where they can exchange light-hearted banter that you wouldn’t imagine from the beginning.

Atoli is feeling lonely and unwell, but at the same time he is thinking that he has to do his best for Natsuo. The flow of emotions is really delicate. I thought it was very youthful.

— Natsuo and Atori quickly adapted to everyone on the island.

春野：多分夏生ひとりでは馴染めなくて、それがアトリの力だったというか。凜々花にとって夏生は尊敬する人で、アトリは友達という感じなのですが、アトリを連れている夏生、アトリと一緒にいると柔らかくなる夏生だからこそ、みんなと打ち解けていくのも早くなったというか。段々と空気感が交わっていくような感覚がありました。

元々夏生とアトリがいなかった環境です。ハナちゃん先生もいなくなってしまった。そんな状況から、今ではみんなが一緒にいることが当たり前だけど、それはおそらくアトリのおかげで築くことができた関係で。本当に何か可愛いペットみたいだなと思います。

みんなからすると面倒を見てあげたりする存在だけれど、アトリ自身は自分を高性能だと思っている。そんなコミカルな関係だけど、すごくホッとするような。アトリは困った時に純粋に「ええぇ……!?」って言う反応を見せてくれるから、みんながひとつにまとまる。本当にアトリのおかげなんですよね。
