| this sounds interesting. Im looking forward to this |
| This looks real jolly. I'm very interested. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| This looks interesting. |

| Looks good, I got random ghibli vibes from it but it probably should have tended towards Chizu |

| Looks a bit like a Miyazaki/Hosuda film from the poster. Also studio 4°C catches my attention. While I haven't seen anything from Ayumu Watanabe he seems like a competent director. Satomi Ooshima worries my since she has only done one other anime. Kenichi Konishi looks good considering he's ex-Ghibli. Overall looking forward to this. |
