Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie Reveals Opening and Ending Themes: Watch

Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie has finally kicked off its anime, and has released its opening and ending theme sequences with its very first episode! Keigo Maki’s original manga series has been one of the most anticipated new anime releases as part of the Spring 2022 anime schedule, and fans have already been introduced to the titular Shikimori over the course of its very first episode. With the series making major waves with fans despite the Spring schedule being dominated largely with the returns of major franchises, it’s already quite clear that this is one of the new anime that fans will be keeping track of over the next few weeks.

Part of the reason that Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie’s anime has already gotten a hold of fans is not only due to the strength of the titular heroine, but the opening and ending theme sequences that bookmark these episodes as well. The opening theme is titled “Honey Jet Coaster” as performed by Nasuo, and the anime’s ending theme song is titled “Route BLUE,” as performed by Yuki Nakashima. You can check out both of these theme sequences below free of the credits as released by NBCUniversal:
