The new version, titled Kono Sekai no (Sara ni Ikustumono) Katasumi ni (In (Several More) Corners of the This World), will begin screening in Japan in December.
The film also won in the Theatrical Anime Division at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival, as well as the Animation Division at the 21st Japan Media Arts Festival Awards.
The film’s director Sunao Katabuchi (Black Lagoon, Mai Mai Miracle) planned the title and Kouno approved it.
The new scenes include Suzu crossing paths with Rin in the fall of 1944 and the winter and spring of 1945.
