Set for Summer 2019
Warner Bros. Japan is teaming up with developer Level-5 to create an anime film adaptation of theNi no Kunigames. Featuring character designs by Yoshiyuki Momose and a score composed by Joe Hisaishi, the film is set for a summer 2019 release in Japan. The announcement came through a press conference where Level-5 announced that its CEO, Akihiro Hino, would be working as executive producer and scriptwriter for the upcoming film.
Momose should be familiar to fans of Studio Ghibli’s work. He has previously worked as animation director on films such asSpirited AwayandPorco Rosso, as well as bothNi no Kunititles. Composer Hisaishi has also previously worked with Studio Ghibli and on the previousNi no Kunigames. The animation for the film will be produced by OLM, a studio known for anime such asYo-kai Watch,Inazuma Eleven, andPokemon. All things considered, this is shaping up to be an incredibly faithful adaptation for the series.
