Nothing But Endless Water In This ‘Sonny Boy’ Anime Dub Clip

The summer 2021 original science fiction anime series Sonny Boy is getting distribution through Funimation as we knew previously. While the simulcast has wrapped up, the streaming service is working through the simuldub for the show and that means we’re starting to see some clips for it. The latest one comes from the second episode with some really neat material in terms of animation with how the water moves, and just the clarity of the blues, while also giving us a number of characters to sample with their dubbed versions.

The show has Alexis Tipton as the ADR director working from the scripts by Tyler Walker. The English dub cast includes Derick Snow as Nagara, Tia Ballard as Mizuho, Daman Mills as Asakaze, Luci Christian as Nozomi, Ry McKeand as Hoshi, Siddhartha Minhas as Rajdhani, Patrick Seitz as Cap, David Matranga as Hayato, and Lauren Landa as Machi.

The project comes from director Shingo Natsume, behind properties such as One-Punch Man and ACCA, with Madhouse on board for the animation production. With Natsume writing as well as directing, the series has Norifumi Kugai on board to work on the character designs that were created by Hisashi Eguchi (Perfect Blue, Roujin-Z). Shinichiro Watanabe is on board as the musical advisor for the project.

The Japanese cast includes Aoi Ichikawa as Nagara, Saori Onishi as Nozomi, Aoi Yuuki as Mizuha, Chiaki Kobayashi as Asakaze, Hiroki Gotō as Rajdhani, Ami Naitō as Hoshi, Hana Sato as Pony, Yōji Ueda as Cap, Shōta Yamamoto as Hayato, and Kana Ogino as Shanghai.

The promo includes the theme song from Kazunobu Mineta of Ging Nang Boyz with “Shonen Shojo” for the series.

Plot Concept: The science-fiction ensemble drama centers around 36 boys and girls. On August 16, midway through a seemingly endless summer vacation, middle school third-year student Nagara (center in image above), the mysterious transfer student Nozomi (right), and classmates such as Mizuho (left) and Asakaze, are suddenly transported from their tranquil daily lives to a school adrift in an alternate dimension. They must survive with the super powers that have awakened within them.
