The novel has inspired an anime film using his original character designs.
In addition to directing, loundraw also drafted the original character designs, and Flat Studio, the studio loundraw established in 2019, is animating.
The official website for the “Ichiban Chikakute Tooi Hoshi” short notes that the short is the concept origin for “Summer Ghost,” and that the latter is also “another story” set in the same world as “Ichiban Chikakute Tooi Hoshi.”
Correspondence education service Z-Kai began streaming a “full version” of animator and illustrator loundraw’s earlier “Ichiban Chikakute Tooi Hoshi” (Both the Closest Yet Furthest Star) anime commercial for the company on Tuesday.
