The latest updates for the highly anticipated TV anime, "The fish I let go was big, but the fish I caught was too big", have finally dropped, and fans are in for a treat with some fresh casting news. It has been officially confirmed that the veteran voice actor Toru Inada will be joining the series to play the role of Mimi's father. This addition brings even more excitement to the production, as Inada is well-known for his powerful and commanding voice, which fits perfectly for a character of high status.
Plot Overview and Character Dynamics
For those who are just catching up, "The fish I let go was big, but the fish I caught was too big" is a hilarious slapstick love comedy that actually started airing today. The story revolves around Maria, the very spirited and martial-minded daughter of the prestigious Duke Annovazzi family. This family is legendary for their martial arts prowess, and Maria has been raised with that same warrior spirit. Mimi's father, voiced by Inada, is the head of the Annovazzi household and a true master of the family's traditional combat techniques.
Initially, he was training Maria to be the sole heir to the family's martial legacy. However, things took a bit of a funny turn when his son was born.
