The official YouTube channel for director Yutaka Yamamoto’s original anime project Hakubo (Twilight) began streaming the film’s trailer on Monday.
Hakubo in particular follows youths living in “the now and present” in Iwaki City, Fukushima Prefecture after the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011.
Yamamoto is planning the anime as the last of his self-described “Tōhoku trilogy” set in Japan’s Tōhoku region in the northeast.
(The previous two Tōhoku projects, blossom and Wake Up, Girls!, were set in the town of Otsuchi, Iwate Prefecture and Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, respectively.)
