Ni no Kuni animated movie gets its first trailer
Warner Bros. Japan has released the very first trailer for the upcoming Ni no Kuni film, offering fans a look of what the animation will be like. As mentioned during the announcement of the movie, Studio OLM of Yo-Kai Watch and Inazuma Eleven fame is the team behind the art and animation, and while Studio Ghibli has no involvement with the project, Yoshiyuki Momose, an ex-Studio Ghibli animator, will be directing. Instead of being a direct adaptation of either the first or second games in the series, this will tell a brand new story, penned by franchise writer Akihiro Hino. There are no official English subtitles yet, nor any inclination of if the film will release outside of Japan, but for those in the east, they'll be able to check it out in theaters later this summer.
