In addition, it has been revealed that Erina Nakiri will be getting a new voice actress. Risa Taneda (Rory Mercury from GATE) will not be reprising her role as Erina Nakiri in season 3, due to recovering from health issues related to her throat. Taneda has been on hiatus since September 2016 but has been slowly starting to work again. Instead, Erina will now be voiced by Hisako Kanemoto (Ika Musume from Shinryaku! Ika Musume).
