A voice
cast for the craziest exorcisms
To bring a
psychic to life with such strange methods and the girls around him, the
production committee put together a rather heavy team of seiyuus. The
confirmed lineup for this season includes:
- Tomokazu Sugita as Kamui
The legendary and ever-trouser Gintoki Sakata in Gintama and Kyon in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. - Riko Aono as Shizuka
Mimitsuka
An emerging talent that promises to steal our hearts like the student capable of seeing ghosts. - M.A.O as Oichi
Our dear Pecorine at Princess Connect! Re:Dive and Shion on That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. - Yuka Aisaka as Kyoko
Known in otaku culture for bringing Narberal Gamma to life in Overlord. - Shiori Izawa as Inagawa

The
direction of this madness is in the hands of Takumi Tsukumo (Divergence
Eve veteran) under the Zero-G and ZG-R studios.
And watch out here, because the production is in charge of the Deregula label
of WWWave Corporation. For those who know how the iguana chews in the industry,
you can imagine that the series will have its fair share of fan service,
confirmed by the fact that they will have an exclusive sound director for the
"full version" without censorship (Deregula version), which perfectly
explains what they mean by "unusual" exorcisms.
Synopsis
of KAMUI: He's Behind You
Shizuka is
a seemingly normal high school student, but with the troubled gift of being
able to see ghosts and spirits in her day-to-day life. To try to deal with this
situation, he ends up working as an assistant to the famous psychic Kamui.
However, he soon discovers that this self-proclaimed exorcist does not use the
typical sacred seals or boring rituals to scare away supernatural entities;
instead, it employs unusually physical, ridiculous, and rather risqué
purification methods. Thus begins a hilarious and daring daily routine dealing
with paranormal phenomena in the most bizarre ways possible.
