Kusunoki's Garden of Gods anime reveals its third trailer and announces theme songs

Inheriting a property in the middle of nowhere usually involves dealing with costly repairs or accumulated debts. Receiving a rural mansion infested with evil spirits seems like the direct start of a horror movie. However, an effective exorcism can transform a supernatural nightmare into a peaceful retirement home for deities. This Saturday, a new trailer was released for the anime adaptation of the fantasy light novel written by Enju, Kusunoki's Garden of Gods (Kami no Niwatsuki Kusunoki-tei). The producers released a new promotional image and confirmed that the episodes will debut on Japanese television next April 4.

The audiovisual material revealed the musical pieces that will accompany the series. The opening will be titled "Odoroki no Ko". This track marks the official debut of actor Miyu Irino as the lead singer of an anime theme, with composition by Yuki Ozaki, vocalist of Galileo Galilei. For their part, the group JYOCHO will take control of the ending with the song "Utamahi".
