Anime Feature Film 『Toaru Hikuushi eno Tsuioku (tentative)』
In Theaters In Japan This Autumn

TMS Entertainment, Ltd., in association with Shogakukan, Bandai Visual, Sammy Corporation, Movic, TV Tokyo Media Net, Kids Station, Tokyo Theatres Co., will produce an anime feature film, 『Toaru Hikuushi eno Tsuioku (tentative)』. It is scheduled to be in the theaters this Autumn.

Koroku Inumura’s novel 「Toaru Hikuushi eno Tsuioku (tentative)」（Shogakukan） published in 2008, is now an animated feature film, and the movie will begin showing in theaters throughout Japan this Fall.

A powerful depiction of air combat and a wistful love story with social status conflict are what attracted the audience, mainly in their 20s and 30s.

It topped the “2008 Amazon Editor Ranking” and the “New Century Entertainment White Book 2009 Ranking,” was developed into a radio play in 2009, and then became a manga book, each time increasing its number of fans, so much so that now it is an animated feature.

TMS will design the overall production, while animation production is done by Madhouse, a studio well known both domestically and internationally.

Other major talents, well known in Japan, will contribute their talents to this latest project, including Satoko Okudera who has scripted “Summer Wars” and “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time,” and Hidenori Matsubara who handled character design for the “Rebuild of Evangelion” series.
