A fresh preview for the movie titled “Hanaroku: A New Dawn” (or “Hanarokusho ga Akeru Nichi ni“) has been unveiled! This is a production by Studio Outrigger, which should not be confused with Studio Trigger, known for producing shows such as Gurren Lagann, Delicious in Dungeon, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. On their official website, Studio Outrigger is described as an “IP (Intellectual Property) production & creative management” company.
Previously, this animation studio brought to life the 12-episode “Egumi Legacy” anime series that premiered in 2024 (with each episode lasting 10 minutes). As a result, “Hanaroku” is their inaugural significant production, marking a new milestone for them as they take on the role of producers instead of just animators.
This year, I’ve noticed that the latest trailer suggests the highly anticipated film, helmed by director Yoshitoshi Shinomiya, will be nationwide in Japan. If you haven’t already, be sure to give it a watch!
Based on earlier reports from MyAnimeList, the movie was screened the preceding year during the Annecy Animation Showcase, which took place at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2024.
A New Dawn Main Staff And Plot
The Director Previously Worked with Makoto Shinkai
Prior to his current role, Yoshitoshi Shinomiya had collaborated with Makoto Shinkai. In the movie “Your Name”, he is recognized as the episode director and a key animator. He has also contributed as a background artist in “The Garden of Words” and “Children Who Chase Lost Voices”. Some other anime that he has been involved with are “Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works” and “The Garden of Sinners: Future Gospel”.
It appears that Shinomiya is making his first foray into feature film directing. However, prior to this, he had directed the music video for Chiaki Maruyama’s “Boukentai: Mori no Yuusha,” as well as commercials for a joint campaign between NHK and Advertising Council Japan (the Mottanai specials). He is also currently working on another feature film, which seems to be a personal project called Suisoi no Tora (Fudge Factor).
Additionally, he’s acknowledged as the lead scriptwriter, marking what appears to be his initial venture into this position within commercially produced anime series.
It’s important to note that while Shinomiya is known for working on a Makoto Shinkai movie, they aren’t the only one. In fact, Akiko Majima has been recognized as the Art Director in the film “Your Name“. Besides them, other talented individuals like Utsushita, who worked on “Heavenly Delusion“, served as the character designer, and Shuta Hasumuna were also part of the team.
Apart from Outrigger, there are two more entities contributing to this project – Miyu Production and Asmik Ace. Notably, Asmik Ace is not only a producer but also the distributor.
The narrative centers on Keitaro, a young man who crafts fireworks on his own following his father’s disappearance. Simultaneously, the Obinata Fireworks Shop factory teeters on the brink of seizure. This tale encompasses themes such as adversity, ecology, severe weather events… and the vibrance of youth.
