PM2019 99 Press Release
On January 28th, 2021, the official Japanese anime Twitter account
posted the official reveal of the voice actors for Marie and Nezu.
Comments from Yui Ogura, who plays Marie:
The Pocket Monsters video games and anime have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, so I was really happy when I got cast as Marie. I felt that she's not just a cute character, but a very strong-willed and cool girl.
Especially during battles she fights with a lot of passion that really makes her determination shine through. She assaults Satoshi with all she's got in order to express that passion, she said. I got to record this episode together with Nezu's voice actor Mr. Shimono, and during the dubbing he treated me like he really was my big brother. I think the good tone we had might have made its way into our performances, so I really hope you'll look forward to this episode!
マリィ役 小倉唯さんコメント
物心ついたときから『ポケットモンスター』のゲームやアニメが身近にあったので、マリィ役として出演が決まった時はとにかく嬉しかったです。マリィは可愛いだけではなく、すごく芯のあるカッコイイ女の子だと感じました。
特にバトル中は、自分の意志を明確に持って情熱的に戦っていて。その熱さを表現するため、全力でサトシにぶつかっていきました。今回は、ネズ役の下野さんとも一緒に収録することができました。アフレコ中は、本当のお兄ちゃんのようにすごく私のことを気にかけてくださって。そういったやり取りなんかも、お芝居に反映できたんじゃないかなと思うので、今からぜひ放送を楽しみにしていただけたら嬉しいです!
