Riddle's VA Hanae Natsuki comment from the fanbook:
“In the role of Riddle I had to remain elegant at all times, but with the overblot and all the crying it was very difficult―I had to put in as much emotion as I could, from deep in my heart, into every line.
There was one part where the line was something like the sound “Ugiiiii!!!!”, which was a reference to the original movie, so I used the original recording as a reference. I like screaming, so it was a lot of fun.”
-Twisted Wonderland FanBook vol.1 (2020)
(After checking the dub of the original Alice in Wonderland, I think this might be the "ugiiii!" sound that he means!)

Hurt!Shinpei moments from Summertime Render (contains spoilers!!)
eps 04, 12, 18, 22
The amount of horrors this guy witnesses in each time loop...
gotta say i really loved the scenes from ep 12 and 18
In ep 12 Shinpei witnesses the death of all his friends. Shide - the four-armed Shadow - even crushes Mio's head infront of Shinpei, because he's cruel like that. tells Shinpei to "keep breathing here until tomorrow ends, drowning in despair" because they know his ability of looping time is activated when he experiences death. But! as last resort, Shinpei kills himself by drinking a poison, but it's a s l o w and p a i n f u l death. so he's vomiting blood, writhing in pain, and can barely take a breath, but determined to go back in time to save every one.
The scene from ep 18 was soo intense!!! words cant describe what i felt watching the episode (same goes for the whole anime tbh). SPOILERS! this time, Shinpei and Ushio think they finally managed to kill Shide but they are too late to realize, that this Shide was a clone, and the real one slices Ushio in half. Shinpei screams (facial expressions animation on point) and fires his gun at Shide, but ofc it's useless and Shide impales Shinpei on a tree. I can't be the only one who loved how Shide delivers his lines. when he taunts Shinpei about Ushio's death and tells him "the only loop you'll be in is despair and regret"

Chiaki from yesterday's Twisted Wonderland event at Anime Expo
SO PRECIOUS!!! <3 I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. All three of them (Hanae, Chiaki & Seii-chan) were so cute and endearing when they tried speaking English. They had translators near them but they still wanted to try. Seii-chan was amazing, he insisted on speaking Eng so many times, you could tell he practiced and wanted to do well, and he did <3. He was so cute when he got excited seeing all the cosplayers in the crowd! Chiaki spoke less Eng than the other two, guess he felt more comfortable speaking in his native language, understandable. Also, he did mentioned that he slept for only 2.5 hours so...
When Seii-chan said Ace & Deuce are besties!! <333
At the beginning when Hanae & Chiaki were on one side, hugging, but Seii-chan was on the other side! Seii-chaaaan! You should have been there hugging Chiaki too! ><
Me after finding out that medicine pocket seiyuu (Japanese va) is hanae natsuki (not really interested on like seiyuu fan circle but I like his voice) : RIDDLE-
