The makers of beloved anime series Anohana are reuniting for a brand new film which has just got a release date.
Fureru is the latest project from the Super Peace Busters creative team, who are made up of writer Mari Okada, director Tatsuyuki Nagai and artist Masayoshi Tanaka. The trio first worked together on the Toradora! anime, before moving onto arguably their best-known work – Anohana, an anime series about a group of friends shattered by loss during childhood. It’s a proper tearjerker that you’ll often find listed among the saddest animes you can watch.
They then followed this up with yet another bittersweet anime, 2015’s The Anthem of the Heart, and then their most recent film – Her Blue Sky. The first teaser trailer for Fureru, which was revealed towards the end of last year, mainly used clips from their three previous projects to build hype for what’s next, and potentially set the scene for the type of emotional rollercoaster we’re all in for.
