The Spring 2022 anime season is just around the corner, and WIT Studio's original comedy anime Onipan! is ready and raring to go with its newly released main trailer!

 

 

The trailer previews the opening theme song, "Onipapapan! Pan!", by Onipanzu, a newly formed unit made up of the anime's main characters, Tsutsuji (CV: Yume Nozaki), Himawari (CV: Mika Negishi) and Tsuyukusa (CV: Kokona Nonaka).

 

Additional cast members also highlighted include Kaori Maeda (Kuroitsu in Miss KUROITSU from the Monster Development Department) as Momo Momozono, Miyu Tomita (Riko in Made in Abyss) as Noriko Issun and Kikuko Inoue as Kuma (Lust in Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood).


As previously reported, Onipan! is the story of three oni-kids who, through the power of the onipan (a portmanteau of “oni” and “pantsu”) become human to help fix the relationship between humans and oni. The three girls transfer into a normal Tokyo high school to aid in their task and help fix their image by revitalizing the town, sometimes jumping headfirst into school events, and other times … becoming idols!
