If the
surprise resignation of the original voice of your favorite corporate waifu left
you with a bitter taste at the beginning of the year, it's time to turn the
page. The official website for the second season of Magilumiere Magical
Girls Inc. (Kabushiki Gaisha Magilumiere) has just released a
new promotional trailer. This trailer not only confirms that the sequel will
land on Japanese television on July 4, but also lets us hear for
the first time the impeccable work of the new actress who will take the reins
of Hitomi Koshigaya's character.
As many
will remember, the talented Yumiri Hanamori left the role in February after a
mutual agreement with her agency. Now, the production committee has officially
confirmed his replacement for the upcoming summer season, adding new talent to
expand the staff of this peculiar company:
- Mariko Higashiuchi as Hitomi
Koshigaya Who takes on the challenge of playing our veteran
magical girl, promising to keep the corporate strength of the character
intact.
- Sayumi Watabe as Iroha Akasaka Known
in otaku culture for voicing Akira Tachibana in After the Rain,
she became the new signing of the series.
Mariko
Higashiuchi herself shared her enormous excitement to join this world of
magical girls. For her, Hitomi is an incredibly cool person with a heart of
gold, highlighting that behind her typical phrase "Easy victory", there
are countless struggles and failures that she never lets see in the office. His
goal is to transmit all that determination and charm to fans who already adored
the character since the first season.
Hololive
will set pace for corporate closure
But the surprises in the recording booth do not end there. If you're a regular consumer of VTubers content, you'll be happy to know that the ending theme, titled "BooooM!!," will be performed by none other than Houshou Marine, the iconic and daring pirate of the Hololive agency. Their overflowing musical energy fits perfectly with the frenetic and humorous tone of these corporate battles against supernatural disasters.
In a world
where supernatural natural disasters known as "Kaii" are a constant
threat, the work of "Magical Girl" has ceased to be a fairy tale and
has become a highly admired profession, well paid and regulated by large
corporations. The story follows Kana Sakuragi, a recent college student who
suffers from stress trying to find employment. Her life takes a radical turn
when, in the middle of a disastrous job interview, she is caught in the deadly
attack of a Kaii. There she is rescued by Hitomi Koshigaya, a magical girl with
the style of a delinquent who works for the small start-up Magilumiere Magical
Girls Inc. After discovering that Kana possesses an innate talent for magic and
crisis management, the company does not hesitate to recruit her. Now, Kana must
learn to survive in the demanding world of work while fighting monsters
alongside her eccentric office mates.
