In case you didn?t know, there?s a Ni no Kuni anime movie in the works, based on the popular video game series. It was announced earlier this year and will not be an adaptation of any of the games specifically, but rather, a new story with a protagonist not seen in the mainline entries. The film will be a collaboration between Level-5, Warner Bros. Japan, and OLM Inc. and will release in Japan on August 23, 2019.
The film will follow a group of high-school friends: the wheelchair-bound Yuu, basketball star Haru, and Haru?s girlfriend Kotona. When Kotona gets attacked, Yuu and Haru try to save her but are transported to the world of Ni no Kuni. If you are familiar with the games, this is a place where an alternate version of each person exists, with a deep and fundamental connection to the real person (this is a core part of the story in the first game). In Ni no Kuni, Princess Asya is Kotona?s parallel self, and Yuu begins to fall for her. But in order to save Kotona?s life, Asya has to die, creating a huge decision for Yuu and Haru.
