If you were
just recovering from the overdose of sweetness that the first installment left
us at the beginning of the year, get everything ready because the sequel is
just around the corner. The official website of the animated adaptation
of You and I Are Polar Opposites (known on the Japanese side
as Seihantai na Kimi to Boku) has just released a new promotional
video. This trailer not only lets us see the funny interactions of our
protagonists, but also officially confirms that this second season will arrive
on television on July 5.
And to set
the mood for this romantic comedy, the production committee took advantage of
the trailer to let us listen to a fragment of "Nekojarashi", the
opening theme song performed by the singer 7co (Nanako). As
a curious fact, this artist is making her great professional debut in the music
industry with this catchy song, which was written and composed exclusively for
the franchise.
Knowing
that the summer season always has brutal competition, director Takakazu
Nagatomo and the Lapin Track studio decided not to
hold anything back and brought in heavy reinforcements. Tamami Izawa and Sara
Sakoe join the project as chief animation directors to polish the visual
quality, while Eriko Kimura will take the reins as sound director. With Kocha
Agasawa's acclaimed manga already finished on the successful Shonen
Jump+ platform (and boasting more than 1.8 million copies sold), the
production team has the path completely free to deliver a faithful adaptation
that covers the rest of the story.
