Kill Ao Anime: Theme Songs and Official PV Release Details
The upcoming television anime Kill Ao, which is based on the popular original work by Tadatoshi Fujimaki, has finally revealed its musical line-up. In a very exciting update for K-pop and anime fans alike, it has been confirmed that the opening theme song will be "ATTITUDE" performed by the global girl group aespa. On the other hand, the ending theme will be "KILL SHOT" by the talented boy band RIIZE. This collaboration has created a huge buzz, and many are saying that this is why Kill Blue is the next big hit in the world of action-comedy series.
Deep Dive into the New Promotional Videos
Along with the theme song announcement, the official team has also released individual promotional videos (PVs) for both "ATTITUDE" and "KILL SHOT". The first PV, which features aespa's track, focuses on the strange new life of the main protagonist, Dairou Juzo. Juzo was originally a 39-year-old legendary assassin, but due to some mysterious circumstances, he has been transformed into a junior high school student. In the video, he simply replies, "I'm a normal first-year junior high school student...!" but we can all see that his deadly instincts are still very much there. The video also introduces several students from Tachibana Gakuen Junior High School, including:
- Noren Mitsuoka: A key character who will be part of Juzo's new school journey.
- Chisato Shiraishi: Another classmate who adds to the vibrant school atmosphere.
- Shin Konami: One of the students Juzo interacts with in his younger form.
- Tenma Tendo: A fellow student who brings more energy to the "youth" side of the story.
This particular PV really does a great job of showing the contrast between Juzo’s hidden "killer side" and the youthful school life that is just starting for him. It makes it very clear why Kill Blue is the next big hit as it blends intense action with the daily chaos of middle school.
Action and Intensity in the "KILL SHOT" PV
The second PV, featuring RIIZE’s "KILL SHOT", takes a slightly different tone. It starts with a very determined line from Juzo: "I'm already boarding the ship. I won't lose, no matter what the battle." This video is much more fast-paced and highlights the adult form of Thirteen (Juzo's assassin name). Fans can see several powerful action scenes and unique characters that will play a major role in the series. Both aespa and RIIZE have also shared their comments, expressing how happy they are to be a part of such a unique project.
Broadcast and Production Information
If you are wondering when you can actually watch it, the wait is almost over. The Kill Ao TV anime is scheduled to start its broadcast on TV Tokyo starting from 11:00 p.m. on April 11th. The animation is being produced by the studio CUE, and the role of the protagonist Dairou Juzo will be voiced by the talented Yuko Sanpei. It's going to be really interesting to see how Juzo manages his secret assassin past while dealing with homework and school festivals!
