“Sunny,” Michael Arias (Japan, U.S.)

Producer: GKIDS
Language: Japanese
Genre: Drama
Completion: 2029

From “Tekkonkinkreet” director Michael Arias, “Sunny” is a moving narrative set in 1970s Japan. The film takes viewers inside Star Kids, a foster home that’s a sanctuary for children caught in the cracks of society. Told through the eyes of its young inhabitants, Sunny explores the fragile strength of found families and childhood resilience. Though still a few years from completion, the project already signals the return of a masterful voice in anime cinema with a poignant, socially resonant story.

100 METERS | Official Teaser Trailer - In Theatres October 2025

100 METERS
From Kenji Iwaisawa and Rock’n Roll Mountain
In theatres this October
Follow @GKIDSfilms for more updates!

100 METERS follows Togashi, a track star who is born to run. As a kid, he is naturally gifted and wins every 100-meter race without effort. But in sixth grade, he meets Komiya, a transfer student who is full of determination but lacks technique. In teaching him, Togashi gives Komiya a new purpose: to win no matter what. Years pass by, and Togashi and Komiya meet again as rivals on the track and reveal their true selves.

Based on the beloved manga by Uoto, author of “Orb: On the Movements of the Earth”, which also received a recent anime adaptation, the heart-pounding and exhilarating adaptation of 100 Meters was first announced prior to its sold-out Work-in-Progress session at last year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Currently in production at studio Rock’n Roll Mountain, Director Iwaisawa is joined by character designer and executive animation director Keisuke Kojima, and art director Keikankun Yamaguchi. The screenplay is written by Yasuyuki Muto (Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway, Tokyo Revengers), and the score is composed by Hiroaki Tsutsumi (Jujutsu Kaisen, Tokyo Revengers, Dr. Stone). In addition to GKIDS, the project is being produced by Pony Canyon, Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) and Asmik Ace.

The project is helmed by director Kenji Iwaisawa, who quickly rose to prominence after his debut film, the deadpan music comedy ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND. An independent film in production for over seven years, ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND was composed of over 40,000 hand-drawn frames, using the Rotoscoping animation technique, and went on to receive multiple award nominations including Best Independent Animated Feature at the Annie Awards. GKIDS distributed ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND in North America, and 100 Meters marks the second collaboration between GKIDS and Kenji Iwaisawa.

GKIDS Acquires North American Theatrical Rights to “JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie”

GKIDS to Release the Theatrical Feature July 16

driven animation from around the world, announced today it has acquired theatrical distribution rights for North America to JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie. GKIDS will release the film in theaters nationwide in original Japanese and English dubbed versions beginning July 16th.

The theatrical compilation feature returns to the widely beloved “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death” story arc of the globally acclaimed JUJUTSU KAISEN series, which focused on the younger days of fan-favorite characters Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto, who shared a deep bond that was tested by one fateful mission. Featuring newly remixed sound for an immersive theater experience, this high-quality adaptation, which captivated audiences during its original broadcast, reaches new heights—bringing the powerful story back to the big screen.

JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie will be released domestically in Japan on May 30th. Last month, a new trailer was released, previewing the all-new acoustic version of Tatsuya Kitani’s “Where Our Blue Is,” which was previously used as the opening theme song for the television broadcast of the “Hidden Inventory / Premature Death” arc. Tatsuya Kitani’s original opening theme captured the hearts of millions in its original run, with currently over 100 million views of the original opening theme song on YouTube, and over 200 million streams on Spotify alone.

The JUJUTSU KAISEN anime series, produced by Toho animation, animated by the legendary MAPPA studio, and based on the best-selling manga of the same name by Gege Akutami, published in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, first aired in October 2020. It has since become a true global and pop culture phenomenon. The wildly popular series wrapped up its second season in December 2023, and was awarded “Anime of the Year” at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards, among many other prizes. JUJUTSU KAISEN: Hidden Inventory / Premature Death – The Movie is the first new release from the JUJUTSU KAISEN property since the end of the series’ second season, and the first theatrical feature from the franchise since JUJUTSU KAISEN 0 which grossed over $188 million globally. This is the first time GKIDS has distributed a JUJUTSU KAISEN title.

Animated Japanese Flick ‘Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World’ Lands U.S. Release Via Freestyle

EXCLUSIVE: Freestyle Digital Media, the film distribution arm of Byron Allen’s Allen Media Group, has acquired US digital and theatrical rights to Japanese fantasy animation film Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World.

The movie will receive a theatrical release, starting June 6, at select theatres across the U.S. and will also be released in more than 250 theaters across Japan by Nikkatsu Corporation. Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World will later be available to rent on all U.S. digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, through Freestyle Digital Media.

Directed by Isamu Imakake (Nadia: The Secret Of Blue Water), the film follows Ryusuke, a junior high school student living in Tokyo. During his summer vacation, he visits Tokushima and reunites with his teenage cousin, Tomomi. Ryusuke and Tomomi go on an outing to the Anabuki River, where they get swept away by the rushing current. As they sink to the bottom of the river, a dragon appears, rescues them, and takes them to a mysterious old man.

The old man tells Ryusuke and Tomomi that they are already dead, but that he can send them back to life if they explore the spirit world and find their mission in life. Although perplexed by the situation, Ryusuke and Tomomi decide to begin their journey to the spirit world. First, they arrive in a gloomy town that looks like it’s from the 1960s. Soon after, they are assailed by terrible things one after another. They see fear-ridden rogues killing one another and doctors mutilating patients. People get killed and rise again. Ryusuke and Tomomi realize that they are in hell. But their journey doesn’t end there. The adventure beyond this world continues into Shambhala and beyond. Will they be able to find their mission and come back to life?

Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World is based on an original story by Ryuho Okawa, who also serves as Executive Producer. The movie was produced by Japan’s IRH Productions. The featured cast includes Japanese actors Yusuke Kobayashi, Chinatsu Hirose, Shigeru Chiba, Tetsuo Komura, Rica Fukami, and Masumi Asano. The English dubbed version of the film includes voice actors Zach Aguilar, Ren Holly Liu, Rick Zieff, Brook Chalmers, Wendee Lee, and Valerie Arem.

Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire Dragon Heart – Adventures Beyond This World directly with the filmmakers and HS Productions.

SUMMER LOVIN’ ARRIVES ON HIDIVE THIS JULY WITH THE VAMPIRE ROMANCE DRAMA “CALL OF THE NIGHT” SEASON 2

Sneak Peek of Episode 2 plus Q&A Panel Planned for Anime Expo 2025

HOUSTON, TXMay 14, 2025 — AMC Network’s HIDIVE is bringing fans a “summer of love” with today’s announcement that the highly anticipated sequel season Call of the Night Season 2 will stream exclusively on the popular anime streaming service for Summer 2025. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of this beloved supernatural romance drama ever since the end of the series’ first season in September 2022. Based on the award-winning and just completed 200 chapter-long shonen manga title by creator Kotoyama, Call of the Night Season 2 continues the love story between a high school boy (Ko) and a female vampire (Nazuna) first introduced in Season 1, which was instant hit with audiences around the world—and quickly earned the series fan-favorite status. Additionally, as part of today’s news, HIDIVE released the new season’s official English subtitled trailer as well as revealed that a special Call of the Night Season 2 panel will be held on Saturday, July 5 at Anime Expo 2025 and features a sneak peek of Episode 2 (first half of episode) plus post-screening Q&A.

“We’re excited to present the highly anticipated sequel season Call of the Night Season 2 to fans this July as part of our upcoming Summer 2025 simulcast season,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “This stand-out supernatural romance drama with its human/vampire love story has captured the hearts of audiences everywhere and was overnight fan favorite when Season 1 premiered in 2022. Ever since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of Season 2. Well it’s here! And it will not disappoint!”

Ko overcomes his confusion about becoming a vampire and decides to "like" Nazuna, while Nazuna resolves to make Ko "fall in love" with her. Without understanding what "love" even is, the two of them spend their nights together in a frenzy. Meanwhile, Detective Uguisu Anko is closing in with her plot to kill vampires, not just Nazuna. A vampire's weakness is "anything they were attached to when they were human" and so they all try to get rid of this weakness before it's too late. But, Nazuna has no memory of her human life. What is Nazuna's hidden past? Why did Anko start killing vampires? And what is the "secret" that Nazuna and Anko share? For Ko, Nazuna, Anko, a fun "late night" doesn't end here... a new "night" begins!

Call of the Night Season 2 is adapted from the manga title written and illustrated by Kotoyama. Originally launched and continuously published in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday since 2019, Call of the Night concluded with its 200th chapter in January 2024 and spans a total of 20 volumes. The English language versions of the manga is available from Viz Media.

The new season is directed by Tomoyuki Itamura along with writing by Michiko Yokote, character design by Haruka Sagaw and production by Liden Films. Call of the Night Season 2 stars Sora Amamiya as Nazuna Nanakusa, Gen Sato as Ko Yamori, Yumiri Hanamori as Akira Asai, Haruka Tomatsu as Seri Kikyo, Eri Kitamura as Niko Hirata, Shizuka Ito as Kabura Honda and Naomi Ozora as Midori Kohakobe.

‘One-Punch Man’ Season 3 Rights Secured by Viz Media for Multiple Territories (EXCLUSIVE)

Viz Media, a leading manga and anime platform, has acquired the rights to “One-Punch Man” Season 3, as the satirical superhero series prepares for its anticipated return.

The deal encompasses theatrical, television, digital, home entertainment, ancillary and merchandise rights across North America, Latin America and Oceania. The Japanese broadcast of Season 3 is slated to premiere in October.

Created by manga artist One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, “One-Punch Man” follows Saitama, a hero who became so powerful through training that he can defeat any opponent with a single punch. The upcoming season will focus on the Monster Association arc, featuring S-class heroes planning a raid to rescue a hostage while the “human monster” Garou awakens within the enemy hideout.

J.C. Staff returns as the animation studio for the third season, with Tomohiro Suzuki handling series composition and character designs by Chikashi Kubota, Shinjiro Kuroda and Ryosuke Shirakawa. Makoto Miyazaki will compose the music.

The original manga, which began as One’s viral webcomic that gained over 10 million hits, is currently serialized on the webcomic site Tonari No Young Jump (Shueisha) and has achieved massive commercial success with more than 33 million copies in circulation. The property has proven to be a merchandising powerhouse, spawning everything from video games to collectibles.

The first season of “One-Punch Man” aired from October to December 2015 to widespread critical acclaim, followed by a second season that ran from April to June 2019.

Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available on Hulu in the U.S. and Netflix in Canada and Latin America. Digital purchase options are also accessible through Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Google, Apple TV, Microsoft Movies & TV and YouTube across U.S. and Canadian markets.

The latest Dirty Pair update from Kickstarter:


Hello Backers!


We’re here with another Dirty Pair Update! We have made some progress and wanted to keep you in the loop.


The QC process has now been completed so we are onto the final stages before going to the replicator/printer. That final stage is art approval and, as mentioned previously, due to the size of the artbook and so many new materials for the US release, things are moving along but not finalized just yet. As soon as this process is completed, we’ll share an update with some preview pages.

Just a reminder, if you have moved since filling out your survey and need to update your address, please send a message here via Kickstarter and we’ll get that adjusted on your order.

We want to say again how much we appreciate your patience and understanding as we get closer to getting the finished product in your hands. We value your continued support and are committed to delivering the high quality product we promised.
