Super Psychic Policeman Chojo has a second trailer, and it makes the series’ odd-couple energy much easier to see. The new promotional video pairs psychic detective Meguru Chojo with rookie officer Nao Ippongi as they race into another case that does not look remotely ordinary.
The update also confirms the music. M!LK performs the opening theme, “ザッツ！超常” (Zattsu! Chōjō), while Shifuku Poncho performs the ending song, “またあした” (Mata Ashita). The Japanese official site posted the news on September 23 local time; the announcement reached English-language outlets on September 22 in the United States.
Two officers with very different strengths
Chojo can read minds, see far away and use other psychic abilities. He is technically an extraordinary investigator, but his personality makes him a difficult partner. Nao has no supernatural power. What she does have is a judo black belt, tremendous physical strength and the determination to keep up with him. The comic tension comes from putting those two approaches to police work side by side.
The show is based on Shun Numa’s manga. Its original run is complete in eight collected volumes, so the anime is adapting an established comedy rather than waiting for a new manga chapter every week. The setting is the fictional Shinjuku-like district of Chinjuku, where the pair’s cases can veer from mundane trouble into ridiculous psychic action.
Meet the voices and the production team
Yusuke Kobayashi plays Chojo, Riko Aono voices Nao and Maria Naganawa plays Robo-kun. The wider cast includes Daisuke Ono as Yuki Inukai, Toshiya Miyata as Hajime Enain and Kanna Nakamura as Riri Togarizato. Those names may be less familiar than the central duo, but the trailer gives a taste of how crowded and noisy Chojo’s world can become.
Who’s who in Super Psychic Policeman Chojo
Junichi Yamamoto directs at Arvo Animation. Hayashi Mori handles series composition and scripts, while Masakatsu Sasaki designs the characters for animation. The bright key art and quick comic reactions in the trailer suggest a show that relies as much on the cast bouncing off one another as it does on psychic spectacle.
The Japanese television premiere is scheduled for October 6 at 11 p.m. JST on Fuji TV and Kansai TV’s Tuesday anime block. The official site currently lists Japanese broadcast details. An international streaming service and English-language release schedule have not been confirmed there, so viewers outside Japan should wait for a separate distribution announcement.
The new preview is useful because it does more than announce a date. It puts Chojo’s powers, Nao’s blunt energy and the show’s music in one place. For readers deciding whether to watch, the question is simple: does this blend of police case, superhero ability and fast gag comedy sound like your kind of Tuesday night?
