Along with a wonderful journey into the fanciful realms and charming themes viewers have come to expect of Studio Ghibli and Ponoc, outstanding English voices will feature among the cast featuring Hayley Atwell, LeVar Burton, and Kal Penn. Ponoc also has earlier works under Momose's direction, including Modest Heroes from 2018. Anime News Network claims that until a notable delay, The Imaginary was initially scheduled for a 2022 release.
The English voice cast of The Imaginary consists in the following:
Anime on Netflix keeps going strong, and viewers will receive their most magical look yet from this latest production including former Studio Ghibli personnel. Featuring the same Studio Ghibli-style visuals from other projects, Netflix has unveiled the English dub teaser for the Studio Ponoc production, planned for a July 5, 2024 release date.
Thanks to a Netflix teaser, not only is the July 5 release date of The Imaginary confirmed but also a preview of the film's plot reveals the English voice cast with amazing screen talent. The director's chair is occupied by longtime Ghibli and Ponoc key animator Yoshiyuki Momose as Amanda and her imagined buddy Rudger negotiate a created world threatened by sinister powers.
Rudger is Amanda's imaginary buddy as the trailer rapidly shows, but he is also completely conscious of the surroundings, including other "invisible" creatures that shortly surface. This transports them to a realm of otherworldly creatures and humanoids whose reliance on imagination mimics that of the real world's species needing air to survive. The Imaginary features themes of children finally growing up and forgetting their imaginary companions, same as in other well-known movies like Inside Out. Still, Rudger is not about to let herself go without struggle.

Inspired by Studio Ghibli, who have long employed well-known Hollywood talent including the voices of Christian Bale, Uma Thurman, Cary Elwes, and many more, the custom of bringing on popular movie actors with established vocal presences like Roger Craig Smith carries on.
The Imaginary was postponed to a later release date due to production problems brought on by the worldwide epidemic; it is now available on Netflix streaming on July 5, 2024. Fortunately, this has not stopped the narrative from emerging totally. The idea of imaginary friends as they relate to childhood traverses decades, even in cases like John Krasinski's IF film, being accessible to all audiences in the case of The Imaginary's anime film.
Though reality is an existential threat to the protagonists in The Imaginary, the strong and phantasmagorical collision ideas of imagination set off a visual trip that will be unforgettable in this Netflix anime film. It looks at several subjects, including the reality people build for themselves and how metaphysically real and consoling they might be. When the Imaginary lands on Netflix on July 5, 2024, it will be the newest vibrant anime experience for any age to love.
