The non-credit opening and ending sequences for the second season of the TV anime "Yomi no Tsugai," based on the latest work by Hiromu Arakawa, known for "Fullmetal Alchemist," have been released on YouTube. The series entered its second season with the broadcast on July 4th.
The opening sequence begins with a shot of Yuru's back as he gazes at a large full moon, set to the opening theme "back shot" by Masanori Onda. Yuru and the members of the Tadera family, as well as characters from the Kagemori family including Asa and Gabu-chan, appear one after another, projected like a kaleidoscope. The latter half also features a thrilling action scene with Sayu-sama and Ivan.
The ending features Asa's image, rendered in a style reminiscent of an oil painting, set to the ending theme "Kujaku" by Kei Sugawara. Standing quietly amidst a pile of skeletons, she powerfully thrusts her fist forward, expressing Asa's determination and internal struggles.
"Yomi no Tsugai" is the story of Yuru and Asa, twins born as "night and day separated." It has been serialized in "Monthly Shonen Gangan" (Square Enix) since December 2021, and the comic series has sold over 6 million copies in total.
The TV anime is being produced by Square Enix, Aniplex, and Bones, the same companies that produced the "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime series. Masahiro Ando, known for directing "Sword of the Stranger" and "Blast of Tempest," is directing. It is currently airing on TOKYO MX, BS11, and other channels.
