The Sk8 the Infinity anime project recently announced the release date for its new original video anime (OVA), titled Sk8 the Infinity Extra Part. The OVA will be released on March 19, with a special theatrical premiere on January 24 in 10 theaters across Japan.
The OVA will consist of four episodes titled “Ame to Neko Conbini Ice Soda Aji,” “Maji de Maji ni Nareru Koto,” “Morning Routine,” and “Ganbare Hiromi-chan!” The main staff from the first season, which aired in January 2021, will be returning for the OVA. Hiroko Utsumi will direct the anime at BONES, while Ichirō Ōkouchi will oversee the series scripts, and Michinori Chiba will design the characters.
The original anime follows the story of Reki, a high school student who loves skateboarding, and Langa, a newcomer to Japan from Canada who gets involved in the underground skateboard race known as “S.” The race takes place in an abandoned mine and features unique competitors like dirty racers and AI racers.
The first season of Sk8 the Infinity premiered in January 2021 and received positive reviews. Funimation streamed the anime with English subtitles as well as an English dub. The series has been confirmed for a second season, much to the excitement of fans.
Fans of the series can look forward to the release of the OVA in March and catch an early screening in January for a limited time. Stay tuned for more updates on the Sk8 the Infinity anime project!
