New Key Visual and Trailer Reveal Huge Battle
Studio Hibari has recently revealed a new key visual with conflicting Oni and Momotaro agencies. Particularly, the art piece draws attention to the main confrontation between descendants of demons, and descendants of Momotaro.
Also, the third official trailer was released on 21 June at an exclusive Japanese screening. The most recent promotional material is dominated by combat scenes featuring the Momotaro Agency, establishing an action-packed nature of the series.
The first three episodes were previewed at a premiere event hosted to a small group of audiences in Japan. Kazuki Ura, Hiroshi Kamiya, and Koutaro Nishiyama voice actors took part in post-screening talks.
With the fans turning up, they discussed the themes and production of the series. Moreover, THE ORAL CIGARETTES will offer the introductory melody of OVERNIGHT, and BAND-MAID will bring the finale song What is justice?
Increased Voice Cast Produces Life to Characters
Five more voice actors were added to the cast to fill in the major supporting roles:
