The official website for Studio Ponoc’s three-part anime anthology film Modest Heroes (Chiisana Eiyū: Kani to Tamago to Tōmei Ningen) revealed a trailer for each short on Friday.
Studio Ponoc describes the shorts as “tales of modest heroes of our times.”
Akihiko Yamashita’s “Invisible” (“Tōmei Ningen”) is a 14-minute “action spectacle” that centers on the lonely struggle of one invisible man.
Modest Heroes will open on August 24 as the first volume of Ponoc Short Films Theatre (Ponoc Tanpen Gekijō), an anthology of anime shorts divided into volumes with different themes.
