Kei Ayamine is voiced by Iori Saeki, known as Vanilla in Nekopara and Tsubaki in The Quintessential Quintuplets.

Miki Tamase is voiced by Takako Tanaka, who previously voiced Annette in Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Hina in Hina Matsuri.

Mikoto Yoroi is voiced by Lynn, whom you’ll likely know as Io in Code Vein, Nico in Devil May Cry 5, Azura in Fire Emblem Fates.

We also get the key visual a more videos showcasing a 360 view of three of the mecha of the series, the Type-97 Fubuki, the Type-94 Shiranui, and the Type-00R Takemikazuchi.

If you’re interested in the Muv-Luv franchise in general, during recent events we saw the reveal of the official title of Muv-Luv Resonative (which is the continuation of The Day After), the announcement of Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse, and new gameplay and details for Project Mikhail.

A few months ago, we also heard the much-awaited announcement that Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien (also known as Rumbling Hearts) will finally be released in English.

For additional information, you should definitely read our interview with the series’ creator Kouki Yoshimune and producer Kazutoshi Matsumura, alongside our semi-recent chat with Kitakuou about Project Immortal.
