In addition, a special video and the second teaser visual were released. In addition, additional cast members were announced, including Kana Hanazawa, Yoji Ueda, and Minami Hinata.
The second teaser visual shows Akira and No. 0 holding hands, separated by a pane of glass, despite being in the same room.
With the copy “She’s a manufactured girlfriend,” the film’s mysterious charm is conveyed, as it makes you wonder whether the programmed emotions are real or fake.
The trailer begins with a scene in which classmate Obayashi Kunito tells the protagonist, genius inventor Mizutamari Akira, “You should try getting a girlfriend too. It’ll change the world.” These words prompt Akira to scientifically create a literal artificial girlfriend, “No. 0.”
At first glance, Akira and No. 0 seem to be steadily developing their romance, but the atmosphere changes dramatically in the second half. The 60-second video is filled with a disturbing atmosphere, with screams and shouts of “Something’s wrong!” and “No, No. 0!”, as well as No. 0’s cryptic line, “I wish we could just stand next to each other like normal people…”.
25 years old. A doctoral student at the university where Shoichi is a professor. She lives in a different room in the same apartment building as Akira and often drops by the lab, acting like an older sister to him. She
keeps Shoichi updated on Akira’s situation.
[Comment from Kana Hanazawa]
I had seen Yasuda Gensho’s work on social media and had been curious about what kind of work it would be since the audition, so I was very happy to have been given the opportunity. Eli, whose
voice I provide, is a robot researcher and a caring older sister figure to Akira. She
will be heavily involved in the story, so please look forward to seeing her in action!
And in any case, No. 0 is so cute, so I hope you will enjoy her on the big screen!!
48 years old. Akira’s stepfather, a researcher in artificial intelligence. Akira’s mother, Inaba, and I were classmates at university. Ira was attracted to Akira’s talent when we first met, and after Inaba’s death, Ira took in the orphaned Akira from an orphanage.
[Comment from Ueda Yoji]
This is the first feature film directed by Yasuda Gensho, an up-and-coming anime creator.
Recently, new creators have had the opportunity to take on big challenges in productions, so I am very happy to be on the scene, and I was inspired by it and tried to express it as well as I could. I had a lively exchange
with the cast, who were able to express the complexities of human beings. I hope that you will feel closer to the work and feel it deeply. Please look forward to it.
【日向未南さんのコメント】
水溜明の幼少期を担当させていただきました、日向未南です。
オーディションの話をいただけた時からどうにか自分も関わりたいと思っていたので、役が決まった時はとてもうれしかったです。選んでいただけたからには、明が幼少期に抱えていたものを精一杯表現しなければとプレッシャーも感じていました。
アフレコの際は他のキャストの方々と一緒に演じさせていただきました。
声がつくとより一層キャラクターの心情が鮮明になっていくのがわかり、それを肌で感じられたのが幸せでした。
そして、アフレコの段階から映像がもう本当ものすごくて…ぜひ映画館では五感を全て使って楽しんでいただきたいです。
