The summer season is getting a dose of bold supernatural comedy and questionable methods. The official website for the animated adaptation of KAMUI: He’s Behind You (or Ushiro no Shomen Kamui-san) has released a new promotional video confirming this quirky anime will debut in July. The trailer gives a preview of “SAY-BYE!!”, the electrifying ending performed by KOTOKO.

Voices for wild exorcisms

A heavy lineup of seiyuus brings to life a psychic with strange methods and the girls around him. The confirmed cast includes:

• Tomokazu Sugita as Kamui.
  Known for Gintoki Sakata in Gintama and Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.
• Riko Aono as Shizuka Mimitsuka.
  An emerging talent set to charm as a student who sees ghosts.
• M.A.O as Oichi.

Director Takumi Tsukumo (Divergence Eve) leads the production under Zero-G and ZG-R, with Deregula from WWWave Corporation handling it. Given Deregula’s reputation, the series will have plenty of fan service, confirmed by a dedicated sound director for the uncensored “full version” (Deregula version), explaining the “unusual” exorcisms.

KAMUI: He’s Behind You synopsis

Shizuka is a seemingly normal high school student with the problematic ability to see ghosts daily. To cope, she becomes an assistant to the famous psychic Kamui. However, she soon discovers that this self-proclaimed exorcist doesn’t use typical sacred seals or boring rituals; instead, he employs unusually physical, ridiculous, and bold purification methods. Thus begins a hilarious and daring daily routine dealing with paranormal phenomena in the strangest ways possible.

Will you give this spicy comedy a chance, or prefer traditional ghost animes this summer?
