Director Shingo Natsume is realizing his first original feature film with ghost (working title). The character concepts are by Natsume Ono, and the character design is handled by Norifumi Kugai. Production is by Madhouse. The film is planned to start in 2027.
Natsume, known for his work on anime series such as One Punch Man, ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept., and The Tatami Time Machine Blues, already gained international attention with his first original TV anime Sonny Boy, including a nomination at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
At the center of the story is the Ghost, which is interpreted as a symbol for unspoken but real emotions. The film depicts the lonely yet brave protagonist Nike, who resists the injustices of the world to protect the starry sky. The plot emphasizes the emotional subtleties in dealing with other people.
Along with the announcement, a first visual was released: Against the backdrop of the starry sky, the enigmatic Nike is seen holding a glass sword. The poster as well as a project presentation will also be showcased at this year's market of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival (MIFA).
