| Umm, aren't these two the remaining part of the protagonist trio besides the main girl? At least on MAL they are listed as such. |

| Great picks for both roles! Their respective performances in Boogiepop (2019) as Aya and Keiji are what i currently imagine Fern and Stark to sound like. --- @RobertBobert Yes, but as i remember on the anime page there were no information on the voice actors for them before. |

Is it now a trend for ambitious shows with a good plot?Great picks for both roles!

Not sure but probably what "additional cast members" might mean in this case is that they couldn't make both characters public for anime-only audience on the official website until they could show the voice actor information (both VAs seem to be recently picked). On MAL anime page itself, Fern and Stark (the characters themselves) were not listed, there were only Frieren and one more character (Himmel if i'm not mistaken). On manga page, the trio is always listed as main characters. |

Xavion said: Are you saying that this is similar to G-Witch, when Miorine was originally announced as the main cast besides Suletta and only then turned out to be the second protagonist? In that case, there is some irony here involving Kana-chan.RobertBobert said: I did not pay attention to this, I was just confused how they were listed as additional roles.

Didn't fully remember (even though i anticipated G-Witch) but that seems to be the case. |

| Really excited for this, I hope Madhouse delivers :D |

| This should easily be one of the best shows of the Fall season. |

uncleqrow said: Why were Tanezaki Atsumi as Frieren? Isn't she more suited for Fern though? I mean, Frieren is supposed to be the boke, with Fern as her tsukomi. I can't really imagine Tanezaki Atsumi voiced a boke character..... On the other hand, Ichinose Kana as Fern?! I don't hate it, but Fern is supposed to be this calm and mostly expresionless tsukomi character (hence why I think of Tanezaki Atsumi), which was not really Kana-san's specialty. She can change her voice brilliantly, hope she will cope with Frieren! |

| Great cast for Fern and Stark. |

| Love the character design and interesting VA choices |
