Japanese online fandom is already speculating about a possible sequel, but the countdown could also somehow be related to MIRAI, Studio Chizu’s most recent film.
Could this mean that an announcement related to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time is coming in the near-future?
In a move that has got fans’ hearts a-flutter, Studio Chizu includes a ticking clock and allusions to the earlier film, including the URL (miraidematteru.com), which translates in English to: “I’m waiting for you in the future.”
