Here’s hoping this prison break ends anything other than a mediocre movie with Michael Scofield.
Earlier today, the official Nanbaka anime website updated with a new promotional video. The three-minute teaser introduces the cast, with the show’s opening and closing themes as background tracks.
The site also confirmed the show’s theme songs. Hashiguchikanaderiya hugs The Super Ball, a collaborative effort between Hashiguchikanaderiya and The Super Ball, will perform opening theme song Rin! Rin! Hi! Hi!. The ending theme, Nanbaka Datsugoku Riron♪! (Nanbaka Jailbreak Theory♪!) will be performed by main cast members Yuuto Uemura, Tetsuya Kakihara, Airu Shiozaki, Daiki Kobayashi, and Tomokazu Seki.
