- Playing Meari will be Aoi Morikawa! With the announcement, she has been quoted as saying, "After watching the anime, I was a bit worried because Meari has a bountiful range of emotions as well as a great amount of exaggerated facial expressions. I wondered if I could do it. However, when I did it, I exhausted all of my energy to deliver this role, so I am looking forward to what it will look like on the screen. "

You know, now she actually looks the part. Since she mentioned the bit about exaggerated faces, I really want to see her do this role justice.
I guess we will just have to see how she is when it comes out! But I have a question, why isn't her wig blonde?
