Ai Kayano and Rie Kugimiya Added to Gacha Girls Corps Anime Cast
According to Anime News Network, two more notable names have been added to the voice cast of the highly anticipated Gacha Girls Corps anime. Ai Kayano will voice a nun, while Rie Kugimiya will voice a vampire. The production is scheduled to begin airing in January 2027.
This news has generated great excitement among fans, especially because the two experienced voice actors are coming together in the same project. Ai Kayano is known for her roles as Shiro in No Game No Life, Inori in Guilty Crown, and Mami Tomoe in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Rie Kugimiya, on the other hand, is one of the most well-known names in the anime world for her performances as Shana in Shakugan no Shana, Taiga Aisaka in Toradora!, and Alphonse Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist. Kayano's calm and warm tone could add a different depth to the nun role, while Kugimiya's energetic and sharp voice could bring a unique depth to the vampire character.
Although story and world details about Gacha Girls Corps are still limited, character types such as a nun and a vampire indicate that the series will be a production filled with fantastical elements. The emphasis on “gacha” in the series' name is interpreted as a sign of a narrative centered on collecting different characters. This makes the project even more appealing, especially for anime viewers who enjoy character diversity and surprise roles.
Details such as the production studio, director, and screenwriter lineup have not yet been officially confirmed. In the coming months, this information is expected to be shared along with character introductions, visuals, and trailers. The production, set to air in January 2027, has already become one of the most talked-about new anime projects of the 2027 winter season.
For fans of Ai Kayano and Rie Kugimiya, Gacha Girls Corps is already a project worth following. As new names are added to the cast and more details about the production emerge, the series' fan base is expected to grow rapidly.
