Ni no Kuni Movie Hits Japanese Theatres this Summer

April 17th, 2019 Annette Polis Anime

Calling all gamers and anime fans! If you haven’t heard by now, Level-5 and Warner Bros Japan are bringing a brand new Ni no Kuni story to movie theatres in Japan this summer.

This new story is focused on three high school friends, the hero Yu (voiced by Kento Yamazaki, L from live-action Death Note), his best friend Haru, and his childhood friend Kotona. The three are involved in an incident after which they suddenly find themselves with the ability to travel back and forth to the Second World. But when Kotona’s life is on the line, the friends must make the “ultimate decision.”

Intrigued? Check out the first official trailer:

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch debuted on the PlayStation 3 as a new JRPG collaboration between Level-5 and Studio Ghibli. Released in North America on January 22, 2013, the story focused on Oliver, a young boy who sets out on an adventure to save his mother. He travels to the Second World and with the help of newfound friends and creatures known as Familiars fight at your side. This was followed by Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom in March of 2018, with a new protagonist and set hundreds of years after the events of Wrath of the White Witch and saw some changes in gameplay compared to the original.

The script for the Ni no Kuni movie will be handled by Akihiro Hino, president and CEO of Level-5 games, who penned both Wrath of the White Witch and Revenant Kingdom.  While Studio Ghibli is no longer has a hand in Ni no Kuni, there are some people associated with the studio who are still involved. Joe Hisaishi will once more compose the score for the movie, and Yoshiyuki Momose (storyboarder for Pom Poko and Only Yesterday) will be directing the film.

While there’s no word yet on an English adaptation of the movie heading to theatres or blu ray just yet, anime fans have seen more limited time releases being shown on our big screens in recent months. We’ve got our fingers crossed that Ni no Kuni finds a handful of theatrical showings here in North America.
