We have 4 casts from free iwatobi (except fukujun) & 4 casts from magi (except tatsun).
And tsugu meet his childhood friend (nobunaga), his senpai from same agency (tatsun), his comrade from bnha (hosoyan), his enemy from knb (fukujun) & his biggest rival or enemy (mamochan) since they have romantic relationship with many female seiyuu, such as hayamin, hanakana, kayanon, inorin etc and also have fathe and son relation in devils line (aka archnemesis dad)

Oh great. Another random thing for them to be working on that isn't Attack on Titan season 4. This just keeps getting better and better.

I'll never understand sports anime, but I'm happy for those that are into it.
Though the combo of "net anime" and the picture makes me feel like this if gonna be really low budget.
