Love is a powerful thing; from that love, anything can be possible no matter what reality you're on. TOHO's upcoming animated film Kimi wa Kanata is a prime example of that thought.
Kimi wa Kanata tells the story of two childhood friends. For one of them, she harbors deep feelings for the other but has always been afraid to bring them to light. However, following an accident, she finds herself in a strange new world where only the love she has could bring the two back together again.
Yoshinobu Sena has been confirmed as writer and director; he is also credited with the idea for the film. The stunning looking film will also be Sena's first, while the company, Digital Network Animation is producing the film. Recently, a brand new promo for the film was released, narrated by Honoka Matsumoto, which reveals the film's release date.
As of now, no further news has been given, but stay tuned for more updates as they come! Make sure to share your thoughts in the comments, and don't forget to check out the brand new trailer below!
