This year's Anime Expo Lite is quickly becoming even bigger than its previous year. Every year, fans convene at the event to celebrate all things anime, manga and Japanese pop culture and opens the door for many new project announcements.
One of the most recent announcements revolves around the upcoming film Child of Kimiari Month. The new film tells the story of a young child delivering offerings to the Gods of Japan in a grand adventure.
Anime Expo Lite will be showing a special look at the film and includes producers Michihiko Suwa and Uko Oshia and writer Toshinari Shinohe. During the panel, the guests will be sharing special insights on the film ahead of its release.
Will you be checking out the panel? We would love to hear your thoughts about the news and the film in the comments below!
This is a story of a 12-year-old girl, Kanna, born as a descendant of the Gods. Her family has a mission to deliver offerings from all over Japan to the Gods’ gathering in Izumo. Although Kanna’s mother was to complete the mission, her passing prompted Kanna to finish the task, hoping she could reunite with her dead mother in the Gods’ land at the end of her journey.
What is Kamiari Month?
Japanese people believe that spirits and gods dwell inside various things. There are gods of the water, wood, and even gods that keep us safe from sickness. Every October, thousands of gods leave their places of residence to gather in the Izumo region to have a conference. As such, October is also called Kamiari month - only in the Izumo region - which means the month with gods, and Kannazuki - in every other region - which means the month without gods.
Child of Kimiari Month will release later this year!
