You and I Are Polar Opposites anime has revealed three additional voice cast members on Friday:
- Yuna Taniguchi as Watanabe, a cheerful, upbeat classmate of Suzuki and Tani
- Konatsu Hirabayashi as Sato, a quiet and cool-headed girl, also a classmate of Suzuki and Tani
- Anji Iwata as Yamada, a cheerful, easygoing boy and classmate of Suzuki and Tani
The voice actors also commented on their roles and the series.
Yuna Taniguchi’s comment:
I’m Yuna Taniguchi, and I’ve been given the opportunity to play the role of Watanabe, aka Nabe.
I had a bit of a rough start, as things didn’t come together the way I hoped. But over time, I started to feel Nabe’s energy really sink in. I focused on keeping things bright, happy, and true to her carefree spirit, and now I’m genuinely having so much fun playing her. I hope she comes across as that easygoing friend you wish you had around, and I also hope you’re ready to go nuts over Suzuki and Tani-kun’s love story.
Konatsu Hirabayashi’s comment:
I’m Konatsu Hirabayashi, and I play the role of Sato. This is my first time playing a regular role in an anime, so I was definitely nervous going in. But every time, the warm and welcoming atmosphere at the recording studio gave me the push I needed. Sato is cool and sharp?really intelligent. And those moments when she throws out these spot-on comebacks to Suzuki or Nabe are so crisp and satisfying. Even during recording, I kept thinking, “Wow, I love how that line lands.” She’s effortlessly calm and steady, never wavering. I absolutely adore that about Sato. As for me, I found myself totally swept up in everyone’s story arcs and my heart was constantly fluttering. I had so much fun soaking in the warmth and brightness that’s been so carefully woven into the show. I’d be thrilled if you could join us in feeling all the excitement and heart-pounding moments right up to the very end. Thank you so much for your support!
Anji Iwata’s comment:
I’ve been a fan of this series since the original manga, and I secretly started practicing the role of Yamada, hoping I’d get to play him if it ever got an anime adaptation. At first glance, he might seem a bit carefree and goofy, but deep down, he’s honest, kind, and just a genuinely good guy. As I take on the role, I really want to bring out all the charm that makes Yamada so lovable.
His energetic, lively vibe is something I feel I can draw from my own personality too?so rather than overthinking it, I’m approaching the role without pretense. I hope you enjoy the show!
Lapin Track is animating the series with Takayoshi Nagatomo as director and Teruko Utsumi as the series composition writer and animation producer. The main voice cast consists of Sayumi Suzushiro as Suzuki and Shogo Sakata as Tani. A trailer was released at Anime Expo 2025.
Synopsis:
Suzuki’s a high school girl in love, but the guy she’s fallen for is nothing like her! While she’s cheerful, outgoing, and always trying to fit in, her classmate Yusuke Tani is stoic, quiet, and doesn’t seem to care what people think of him. Will Suzuki be able to overcome her anxieties and ask him out, or will she discover that opposites really don’t attract?
