Kyokai no Kanata – I’ll Be Here – Mirai-hen Trailer

Good news for Kyokai no Kanata fans! If you have dried your tears after the finale of the TV anime, take a gander at the trailer for the upcoming movie which will be released on April 25th.

Synopsis

The story of the movie takes place ten years after the TV anime. That original story was about two students with supernatural powers. The first we encountered was Akihito Kanbara (KENN) who is half demon (yomu) and invulnerable to wounds. When he sees Mirai Kuriyama (Risa Taneda) on the school roof and about to attempt what looks like suicide he intervenes. The two get to know each other and Akihito discovers that Mirai is from a cursed line of warriors who are able to manipulate blood. Despite her distaste for him (fuyukai desu), the two grow closer and as this happens, dark forces move in to try and take advantage of Akihito.

We see some of the big guns from Kyoto Animation appear to be working on this project. The director of the movie is Taichi Ishidate, director of the TV anime as well as director on episodes of K-ON! and Hyouka. The screenplay comes from writer Jukki Hanada (Steins;Gate, Nichijou).  Miku Kadowaki, character designer, has worked on many Kyoto Animation titles like Free! Eternal Summer, Hyouka, Nichijou, and Tamako Market. The seiyuu remain the same with KENN reprising his role as Akihito, and Risa Taneda coming back as Mirai.
