Anime short films by director Hiroyasu Ishida come as collection box
March 19, 2022
Some time ago, KAZÉ Anime announced the licensing of five anime short films by director and animator Hiroyasu Ishida. After it has been pretty quiet about the planned disc release since then, the Berlin anime label revealed new details about two years later.
KAZÉ Anime is expected to release the five anime short films Fumiko's Confession , Rain Town , Sonny Boy & Dewdrop Girl , Typhoon Noruda and Paulette's Chair on May 19, 2022 as a collection box on DVD and Blu-ray. In addition to the films with German and Japanese voiceovers, there is an interview with Ishida and a booklet as an extra.
A pre-order in the online shop of KAZÉ Anime is now possible. The home video release of the five short films was originally planned for August 2020.
The 33-year-old director is best known for Penguin Highway , Ishida's first feature-length anime film, which was released on DVD and Blu-ray by KAZÉ Anime in March 2020. Hiroyasu Ishida's new film, Drifting Home , is currently in the works at Studio Colorido and will be available on Netflix later this year.
