GKIDS announced on Thursday that it has acquired the North American distribution rights for The Case of Hana & Alice, Genius Party, Genius Party Beyond, and Summer Days with Coo.
The Case of Hana & Alice (Hana to Alice Satsujin Jiken) opened in Japan in February 2015 as Shunji Iwai’s animated prequel to his 2004 live-action coming-of-age film Hana & Alice.
The anthology was split into two parts—Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond — which opened in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
The results are Genius Party and Genius Party Beyond, two animated anthology films full of boundless imagination, fantastic worlds, and unique visual styles.
