OceanVeil Unveils Exciting Anime English Dubs
OceanVeil made waves at Anime Expo with the announcement of two highly anticipated English dubs. Fans can look forward to immersive new experiences for both "Secret Mission ~Sennyū Sо̄sakan wa Zettai ni Makenai!~" and "KAMUI: He's Behind You," bringing more beloved anime to English-speaking audiences. These reveals promise to expand accessibility and enjoyment for viewers worldwide.
Secret Mission Dub Premiere Set for July 25
Get ready for some thrilling undercover action! The English dub for Secret Mission ~Sennyū Sо̄sakan wa Zettai ni Makenai!~, based on Mothica's "Motto Aeide! Sennyū Sо̄sakan wa Sex mo Oshigoto desu" manga, is set to debut on July 25 at 6:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. EDT). This AnimeFesta adaptation, known for its unique blend of suspense and intimate moments, first captivated audiences in Japan in October 2023. Its premium version also streamed on the AnimeFesta website, attracting significant attention.
The series introduces viewers to Riko Ikazuchi, voiced by Mei Misono, and her junior partner Noma, played by Jun Shita. Their mission involves infiltrating a criminal organization's hideout by posing as newlyweds. The premise takes a compelling turn when the lack of "marital noise" makes the culprits suspicious, forcing Riko and Noma into increasingly convincing, and often humiliating, acts of affection to maintain their cover. Despite the personal toll, Riko's unwavering dedication to justice drives her forward. Mei Misono also performs the catchy theme song "Secret Mission Love," adding another layer of depth to her role.
The anime was directed by Saburou Miura, who also handled series composition and storyboard at Rabbit Gate. LAZZ was responsible for character designs, ensuring the visual appeal of the series, and Hisayoshi Hirasawa served as the sound director, creating an immersive auditory experience. For those interested in the source material, Kadokawa's BookWalker website publishes the manga in English under the evocative title "Sex Is Part of Undercover Agents' Job?".
KAMUI: He's Behind You Dub Currently in Production
In another exciting revelation, OceanVeil confirmed that an English dub for KAMUI: He's Behind You, the television anime adaptation of author Eroki and artist Shinko Konoshiro's manga, is currently in production. This announcement builds anticipation for a series that promises a unique blend of supernatural elements and humor, appealing to fans of supernatural comedy.
KAMUI: He's Behind You recently premiered in Japan on Tokyo MX on July 3, with OceanVeil already streaming the original Japanese version globally on Friday. The story centers on Shizuka Mimizuka, a self-proclaimed "ordinary" high school girl with an extraordinary problem: she's a natural magnet for ghosts and malevolent spirits. Her unusual constitution catches the attention of the famous psychic Kamui, who hires her as his official assistant and, quite literally, as live bait for supernatural encounters.
Kamui himself is a fascinating character – a drop-dead gorgeous heartthrob with overwhelming spiritual power, yet he harbors a peculiar, total-degenerate secret: he is only aroused by ghosts and apparitions. His methods for purifying the supernatural are described as "entirely unprecedented, wildly intimate, and incredibly lewd," adding a distinct flavor to the "super" ecchi exorcism comedy. The series explores Shizuka's struggles to achieve a normal school life amidst a continuous parade of bizarre paranormal incidents orchestrated by Kamui's unconventional approach. This comedic tension promises endless entertainment.
The anime is directed by Takumi Tsukumo at Zero-G and ZG-R, with Motoshi Chūjō handling series scripts and Toshinari Yamashita designing the characters, ensuring a cohesive and engaging visual narrative. KOTOKO performs the anime's ending theme song "SAY-BYE!!", providing a memorable closing. The manga, which debuted in March 2020 on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app, has already reached its 12th compiled book volume, indicating its popularity and rich storytelling.
Get Ready for New Dubbed Anime Experiences
OceanVeil's commitment to bringing these diverse and engaging stories to English-speaking audiences is a fantastic development for anime fans. With Secret Mission hitting screens very soon and KAMUI: He's Behind You in the pipeline, there's plenty of exciting dubbed content to look forward to.
