Comments From The Main Cast
All 8 main cast members sent in comments for Season 2. Fuka Izumi, the voice of Utena Hiiragi / Magia Baiser, said: "Mahoako is finally back!!! I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. It's already fun. It's been about 2 years since I last played Utena and Baiser in the anime, but she will grow even more (?) in Season 2, so I'll make sure to show that change. I'll do my best to love the magical girls as much as my desires want!"
Koga's full comment opens with "Finally! The time to dive back into the world of Mahoako...!! Is everyone ready?" and mentions scenes and characters that viewers did not get to see in Season 1. Kaori Maeda, the voice of Haruka Hanabishi / Magia Magenta, said Season 2 is going "full speed from Episode 1," adding that she will finally get to perform "that thing" of Magenta's and that her heart is already pounding.
Misaki Ikeda, the voice of Kaoruko Tenkawa / Magia Sulfur, joked that her character's "parents are apparently still hostages" and said the new season feels so "stimulating, cute and full throttle" that she is worried whether it can even air from the start. Mayuko Kazama, the voice of Sayo Mizukami / Magia Azul, said she will play Azul with love so she can show how the character broke out of her shell and grew in Season 1.
Among the cast playing former Lord members, Minami Tsuda, the voice of Nemo Anemo / Rubrum Blume, said the fights in Season 2 look set to be even more intense, with a question mark after "fights." Yuka Aisaka, the voice of Shinju Akoya / Loco Musica, said the strength and madness of every character has been powered up and that the bond between Loco and Rubrum is even deeper. Shiori Sugiura, the voice of Korisu Morino / Nero Alice, said Korisu shows many sides of herself even though she does not speak.
