It has been announced that "Super Kaguyahime!", the original anime film directed by Seigo Yamashita, who has worked on the opening videos for popular anime such as the first season of "Jujutsu Kaisen" and "Chainsaw Man," will be screened at Shinjuku Wald 9 (Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo) from midnight on February 20th, the first day of theatrical release. In addition to the usual admission benefits, attendees of the earliest screening will receive a "special Chibi Kaguya sticker" to commemorate the screening.
The work is a "musical anime" inspired by the classic "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter." Aya Sakayori, a 17-year-old high school girl who leads an extremely busy life juggling part-time work and studies, meets Kaguya, who appears from inside a gaming utility pole that shines in seven colors.
Studio Colorido, known for "Penguin Highway," teamed up with Studio Chromat, led by director Yamashita, to produce the anime. Music was provided by a stellar cast of Vocaloid producers, including ryo from "supercell," kz from "livetune," 40mP, HoneyWorks, Aqu3ra, and yuigot. It began streaming as a "Netflix movie" on January 22nd. It will be released in theaters for a limited one-week period from February 20th.
