>Q: How did you feel when you you got cast?Owada: How I felt? It made me very happy. The beautiful... you know, scenery, of Blueberry Academy, this place that's floating in the sea, or should we maybe say submerged in the sea, it's going to appear in the anime exactly the way it's like in the video game, you know. Me getting to enter, or be a part of, that place sounded really fun.
>Q: What were your initial impressions of Cyano, and how did they change after you got to play him?Owada: When I played the game, I thought Principal Cyano came across as a real dandy, though one with a slightly humorous side to him. Now that I've personally played him in the animation though, I've realized that he's not just charming and stylish, but that he genuinely loves the students of Blueberry Academy and has this passionate desire to shape their futures.
>Q: How did you feel about the dubbing sessions? Do you have any behind-the-scenes stories to share?Owada: Coming into such a group of amazing voice actors and acting alongside them made me a little... nervous actually. However, I put a lot of thought into how to, you know, express Principal Cyano's idiosyncrasies as I played him. I gave him an excited voice that's a bit higher than my normal one, so I'm wondering what you'll think of it.
>Q: Finally, do you have something you want to tell to the viewers?Owada: This series will feature new and really wonderful characters, as well as really wonderful Pokémon. Make sure to watch.
