'Hitori no Shita: The Outcast' Season 2 Air Date, Latest News: Sequel Anime to Focus on the Raten Tournament
"Hitori no Shita: The Outcast," the Japanese-dubbed version of a Chinese original animated series, is all set to return with its second season in January, and the performers of the series' opening theme have also been announced.
NomCore, a three-member Japanese symphonic rock unit, will reportedly be performing the song, "Kizudarake no Bokura," which will serve as the opening theme for the upcoming sequel anime. According to Manga.Tokyo, the song fits right in with the series' overall theme of discovering who one is and where one is heading to. NomCore's ability in expressing hard themes through music only adds to the song's effectiveness as the series' opening theme.
NomCore has previously performed the song, "Soredemo Boku wa Ikiteiru," which, in turn, served as the opening theme for the 2017 Fall anime series, "Evil or Live."
