Makoto Ueda, who wrote and supervised the scripts for anime adaptations of Morimi’s The Tatami Galaxy and Night is Short, Walk On Girl novels, returns to pen the script for this film.
Yuasa returned to adapt Morimi’s Night is Short, Walk On Girl (Yoru wa Mijikashi Arukeyo Otome) at his Science SARU studio, and the film premiered last April in Japan.
Madhouse previously adapted Morimi’s The Tatami Galaxy (Yojōhan Shinwa Taikei) novel into a 2010 television anime under director Masaaki Yuasa.
Studio Colorido (Typhoon Noruda, Fastening Days) announced on Thursday that it is producing an anime film adaptation of Tomihiko Morimi’s Penguin Highway novel.
