posted on by Alex Mateo
The staff of the Kamen Rider franchise's Ohiru no Shocker-san (Shocker During the Day) anime announced on Thursday that the anime will have a third season that will start streaming through the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club on August 4. The anime will also air within the Chara@Koe Bu program on Tokyo MX and TV Aichi, as well as within Asahi Broadcasting Aomori's GO!ABA program.
Hiroto Sasaki and LINE LIVE audition winner Miku Aone will perform the new season's theme song "Nakayoshi Shocker-san no Uta."
In addition, Ohiru Shocker-san the Movie will screen on Friday alongside a Kamen Rider Revice/Avataro Sentai Donbrothers film.
The first season debuted streaming through the Toei Tokusatsu Fan Club on January 11, and made its television premiere on January 20. The second season premiered on April 21. Hiroshi Namiki is directing the anime at Kachidoki Studio. Yū Saitō is the anime's audio director, with CHANCE iN credited for Audio Production. Hiroto Sasaki is composing the music. Voice actor Tomokazu Seki is credited for the sound effects.
Study Yu-saku is also penning an Ohiru no Shocker-san manga that launched at the same time as the announcement of the anime on November 11 last year. Both the manga and anime celebrate the franchise's 50th anniversary.
The manga centers on the everyday struggles of the lackeys of Shocker, the villain organization in the original Kamen Rider series. The anime's initial announcement came on November 11 or 11/11 — "Iiii Day," a wordplay on the Shockers' characteristic cry. (The anime's streaming premiere date and time can also be written as "1/11 11:00.")
The anime project accepted auditions for singers for the anime's theme song through the LINE LIVE livestreaming app, as well as voice acting auditions for a Shocker lackey through the voice acting livestreaming app Voice Connect.
