Ai Fairouz and Junichi Suwabe commented on their roles. Ai Fairouz, who voices Slime, spoke about her character:
This title has extremely unique characters starting with Crimson, but the Slime is one of the strange characters. The story is pretty serious, with Ragna going through a lot of agony and having his precious things taken away. But the Slime brightens up the scene with its non-conforming character. I believe its charm is where he just keeps his own pace, and I tried to express that!
“You stupid hoomans, watch the show or else!” (saying in character)
Suwabe had a similar comment:
Woltekamui is very very strong. He will appear later in the show as an extraordinarily strong enemy that confronts Ragna and his friends. I look forward to see how the fierce battle scenes in the manga will be shown in the anime. Oh, just in case, this “strong enemy” never becomes a comrade. He’s a real bad guy! Please look forward to the anime “Ragna Crimson!”
Besides the two of them, the main cast includes:
SILVER LINK. is animating the Ragna Crimson anime under the direction of Ken Takahashi. Shimpei Aoki is in charge of the character designs, while Deko Akao is writing the scripts. Koji Fujimoto (Sus4 Inc.) and Osamu Sasaki are composing the music. The anime is based on a manga by Daiki Kobayashi.
