Broadcasting Begins! A World Destined for "Conflict." What is the Mechanism of This World That Awaits Them...!? Anime "Villager of Level 999" Exclusively Streaming on DMM TV Starting July 1st (Wed)!

DMM, operated by合同会社DMM.com (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO of PF Company: Yusuke Muranaka, hereinafter DMM), will begin exclusive (excluding some parts) unlimited streaming of the TV anime "Villager of Level 999" on DMM TV, a comprehensive video distribution service, starting July 1st (Wed) at 24:00.

*First episode simultaneously broadcast on terrestrial TV, episodes 2 onwards 1 week ahead of terrestrial TV. *Exclusive streaming by DMM TV and ABEMA TV.

To commemorate the start of broadcasting and exclusive streaming, passionate comments have arrived from Koji Kagami, voiced by Keishi Inomata, and Alice, voiced by Nao Toyama, for the fans eagerly awaiting the broadcast and streaming of this work. Additionally, stills capturing the two after the recent advance screening event have also been released!

Keishi Inomata, who voices the protagonist Koji Kagami, a young man who was once a powerless villager but has reached the "pinnacle of levels" that no one had ever reached before, has also appeared in the anime "Ballpark de Tsukamaete!" and the currently airing anime "Hyō no Shiro" and "Himekishi wa Banzoku no Yome." Inomata commented on the charm of the character Koji, whom he plays: "At first glance, Koji doesn't have many distinguishing features, but he is the strongest person in this story, the only one to reach Level 999. In a typical story, the protagonist experiences various things and grows, but in 'Villager of Level 999,' Koji conveys new values and lessons to other characters, reversing the usual protagonist's role, which I think is one of its charms." Regarding the points of the work that he wants viewers to watch repeatedly, he said: "I definitely want people to rewatch Alice's cute scenes. Alice is a child who knows nothing about human society, so her strong reactions to everything are very cute. And I feel like the animation is putting in extra effort in the scenes where Alice is depicted cutely (lol)." He passionately emphasized Alice's charm, sharing Koji's feelings.

When asked, "If you could have any ability reach the 'pinnacle of levels' that no one had ever reached before, what would it be?" in relation to the story, he commented: "Perhaps the 'language' level pinnacle. There are bilingual and trilingual people, but I don't think there's anyone who can speak all the languages of the world. If you could speak them, you wouldn't have trouble communicating in any country, which would be nice (lol)." Finally, to the fans looking forward to this work, he said: "'Villager of Level 999' is finally broadcasting, and I am very happy that this story will be seen by so many people. The original work has already been completed, so if you are interested after watching the anime, I hope you will read the original work to further understand its appeal. This is the story of Koji and his friends aiming for coexistence between humans and demons. Please look forward to it!"

Nao Toyama, who plays Alice, a demon girl born to oppose humans but who wishes for coexistence with them, has appeared in many popular anime such as "Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru." and "Yuru Camp△," and is currently appearing in the anime "Kanojo, Okarishimasu." Toyama commented on Alice, the character she plays: "Alice is a cute little demon girl, but inwardly she is strong-willed and has a strong belief that 'she wants to create a world where demons and humans can coexist.' She is so earnest that she puts herself last, and her straightforwardness naturally draws people around her. Although Alice is a demon, she is truly an angel." Regarding the points of the work that can be enjoyed repeatedly, she said: "It's the parts where things that make you wonder 'What is this world?' are scattered throughout. There are levels as a matter of course, predetermined roles, and humans and demons are supposed to be in conflict... I think it would be interesting for those who are accustomed to anime and manga to watch while questioning the 'common sense' in this fantasy world, which they might otherwise accept easily."

When asked, "If you could have any ability reach the 'pinnacle of levels' that no one had ever reached before, what would it be?" in relation to the story, she replied: "Entertainment ability! Then I think I'd become better at acting, and I could liven up events anytime, anywhere. If casual small talk becomes interesting, it can brighten the atmosphere of the workplace, and I think I could have fun every day myself. In fact, not just for work, but on my days off, I'm the type who wants to fill everything with entertainment, thinking 'What should I do?' or 'Where should I take my family?' so I like finding fun things. I want to level up more! (lol)" Finally, to the fans eagerly awaiting the broadcast of this work, she said: "I've been looking forward to this summer when the broadcast begins. There are unique characters, and some characters whose cast has not yet been revealed. I hope you will pay close attention to them. Actually, in the original work, quite a grand development unfolds. Alice's impression changes further in the story beyond what is animated this time, so I hope to play her someday... In any case, let's enjoy this first cour together! Thank you!"

In addition, in addition to the comments from the two, a two-shot photo after the recent advance screening event has also been released! Koji and Alice, who aim for coexistence between humans and demons, show a chemistry that mirrors their relationship in the story!

"Villager of Level 999," based on the light novel by Hoshizuki Koneko, is finally receiving its long-awaited anime adaptation. In the world of swords and magic called Earthclear, people have levels and innate roles. In this world, Koji Kagami, who should be a "villager" – the role with the largest population but the weakest power – reaches the pinnacle of Level 999 and defies his predetermined way of life! And Alice, the daughter of the Demon King, the ruler of the demons. The two meet and, together with their companions, aim for coexistence between demons and humans...

What is the mechanism of this world that awaits them in a world destined for "conflict"...!

Anime "Villager of Level 999" begins broadcasting and exclusive streaming on DMM TV on July 1st (Wed) at 24:00!!!

◆Full Cast Comments

・Keishi Inomata, Voice Actor for Koji Kagami

Q. Please tell us about your impression and the charm of the character you played.

At first glance, Koji doesn't have many distinguishing features, but he is the strongest person in this story, the only one to reach Level 999. In a typical story, the protagonist experiences various things and grows, but in "Villager of Level 999," Koji conveys new values and lessons to other characters, reversing the usual protagonist's role, which I think is one of its charms.

Q. Please tell us the points of this work that you want viewers to watch repeatedly.

There are many points I want you to see in the work, but I definitely want people to rewatch Alice's cute scenes. Alice is a child who knows nothing about human society, so her strong reactions to everything are very cute. And I feel like the animation is putting in extra effort in the scenes where Alice is depicted cutely (lol).

Q. If you could have any one ability reach the "pinnacle of levels" that no one had ever reached before, what ability would you choose?

As a voice actor, I'd be happy with the "acting" level pinnacle... but if I had to choose one, it would be the "language" level pinnacle. There are bilingual and trilingual people, but I don't think there's anyone who can speak all the languages of the world. If you could speak them, you wouldn't have trouble communicating in any country, which would be nice (lol).

Q. Finally, please say a word to the fans.

"Villager of Level 999" is finally broadcasting, and I am very happy that this story will be seen by so many people. The original work has already been completed, so if you are interested after watching the anime, I hope you will read the original work to further understand its appeal.
