With Nahoko Uehashi having done some interesting works before such as Moribito, we were excited by the reveal back in June 2018 that their series Shika no Ō is getting an anime project.
GKIDS previously announced their pickup of the North American rights to the film that’s part of the Annecy International Animation Festival 2021 showcase.
Van leads his warriors into a losing battle all the same, quickly finding himself enslaved, toiling away at a salt mine.
The film is directed by Masashi Ando based on the screenplay by Taku Kishimoto.
