Bandai Namco Filmworks has announced two brand-new additions to the voice cast of Mahō no Shimai Lulutto Lilly (Magical Sisters Lulutto Lilly), the magical girl television anime produced in collaboration with Studio Pierrot. The newly revealed characters will make their debut during the series' 15th episode on October 18, bringing fresh faces to the sprawling magical universe.
According to the latest announcements, veteran voice actor Hirofumi Nojima will step into the role of Umezō, a resident of the mystical country Felix Star. Alongside Nojima, Shōgo Yano joins the roster as Tachibana, an actor portraying the headmaster's son within a drama sequence that characters Lilly and Rin are actively shooting. These additions follow a wave of autumn casting updates for the second part of the narrative arc.
