The television anime adaptation of the erotic horror manga KAMUI: He's Behind You (Ushiro no Shōmen Kamui-san) will premiere on July 3 on Tokyo MX, with a later broadcast on BS11 on July 7. The announcement came with a new promotional video and key visual, both of which are NSFW. The trailer is available in a standard version and a "There Be Ghosts" version, which the staff recommends watching with headphones due to lewd audio. The anime will be released in three censorship tiers: a censored version, a less censored version, and an uncensored version. The series is produced by WWWave Corporation's Deregula anime label and animated by studios Zero-G and ZG-R. Takumi Tsukumo directs, with series scripts by Motofumi Nakajō and character designs by Toshinari Yamashita. The cast includes Tomokazu Sugita as Kamui, Riko Aono as Shizuka, M.A.O as Oichi, Yuka Aisaka as Kyōko, and Shiori Izawa as Inagawa. The manga, by Eroki and Shinko Konoshiro, began serialization in March 2020 on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app.
