Trivia[edit]

  • Yuki Hayashi who composed Prelude to Dawn's OST has composed music for various anime series including My Hero Academia, Haikyuu!!, and Beast Tamer, as well as video games and TV series.
  • Yuki Kaida (Doctor) is fluent in English. In fact, she spoke fluent English in her role in Genshiken as Angela Burton.
  • Exusiai is voiced by Muyaruilin aka. Rylyyn (the Chinese CV of Grani and Savage) in the Chinese dub instead of her Chinese CV Shujin Cai. This is because Shujin took a leave from her job between March and July 2022 due to health issues.[1][2]
  • Yu Asakawa (PRTS) is the voice sample for popular vocaloid Megurine Luka. She's also fluent in English as attested in the anime and hosted an anime-related English radio broadcast once.
  • Skullshatterer and Misha's Japanese voice actors, Satsumi Matsuda and Risae Matsuda are actual twin sisters.
  • Originally Wei Yenwu's Chinese voice actor is Hai Fan who also acts as the Chinese dubbing director but a female voice actor came out with evidences of him sexually harassing her via text messages for years. Because of this Hypergryph has decided to stop working with him as a whole both as a voice actor and the Chinese dubbing director.
