 The official website of Kagerou Project has announced that there will be a short anime movie to be released in the winter months of 2016. The movie will be a collaboration between ultracreep Inc. and Aniplex as the first MX4D™ (Motion Effects 4D) short movie production in Japan, where viewers can feel the motions and sense jolts while watching. It will be titled MX4D Kagerou Days -in a days- and will be directed by the illustrator and character designer of the manga, Sidu. The movie will be produced by 1ST PLACE/JUMONJI.Kagerou Project is a mixed-media project based on a series of songs created by Jin. An anime adaptation for the project, Mekakucity Actors, aired in Spring 2014 with 12 episodes. A manga adaptation, Kagerou Daze, began publishing in June 2012. Synopsis Shintarou Kisaragi—a NEET who shut himself inside his room for two years—had been living his life normally until he met a cyber girl named Ene, who appeared in his computer screen when someone anonymously sent him a mysterious e-mail one year ago. One day, Ene messes with Shintarou's PC, which forces him to go to the outside world for first time in two years. (Source: MU, edited) Source: Official site Kagerou Daze: In a Days on MAL |

| well that's something... |
  |
| So is this what Jin was talking about on Twitter? He said he was going to compose a new song... Is that song going to be part of this? |
 |
| You mean 2017 winter. |
| I have mixed feelings about the Kagerou Project medium now tbh, hope this might be interesting though. |
 |
| After how Mekakucity Actors turned out to be, I'm not sure how I feel about this news. It's pretty cool, yeah, but I'm not exactly excited for it. Still, I'll watch it |

Winter starts in Japan by those months.You mean 2017 winter. amyhm said: 2016 Japan Winter? Don't confuse the Winter 2016 TV broadcasting season with "the winter of 2016", which implies the end of the year 2016. Seasonal anime is a TV concept and doesn't apply to other release methods. (We list them on the Seasonal page for convenience, but note that "season" information is absent from DB entries which are not the TV type.) I'll tweak the wording to make it a bit clearer. |
 I can't definitely wait for more of this "Quality Animation with Quality CG's by Shaft" |
 |
| Kagerou Project's songs and LNs have had some a prominent impact on my life and I hold them so close that I can't help but get a little excited about something like this even though I probably won't experience it. I just really hope it doesn't end up being comparable to Mekakucity Actors. The anime adaptation of the series had to be the most disappointed I'd ever been in something. The only silver lining are the beautiful song covers that came of it. |

|
| Well at least it will be short. |

| wait wut?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what is this ????????? well, anyway, i'm VERY curious about this one. looking foward to it and i hope it will be a good one (cause i see CGI right there......) |
 |
| well there is hope since manga artist is doing the script and all. i just hope it's the dark route o-o outer science pls |

|
| Hmm, I'm not sure about this movie. I did like the tv adaptation of Kagerou Project. |
 |
| A full length movie would be better but okay. |
| I'd rather watch the MVs. Than watching another shit of this. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |

How will this be any different? There will be even LESS time to tell the story. After butchering of the franchise in the anime, they are coming back to kick the corpse. |

39Tan said: It will be a 4D show yea? I dont think It'll come out outside Japan. oh man that would be a shame tbh -- I'm kinda hopeful this will be a good excuse of an apology for Mekaku Shitty Actors |
| Anime was pretty awesome (But the 3D scene in it was kinda bad) I am a fan of Kagerou Project so the movie better turn out epic If only the animation was like the mang and if o |

Mizunashii said: I can't definitely wait for more of this "Quality Animation with Quality CG's by Shaft" First, this isn't being made by SHAFT. The article mentions Aniplex so expect A-1 Pictures. Second, SHAFT never produced any type of CG on Mekakucity Actors, this is the actual scene made by SHAFT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHhF31jXtyI. This famous CG scene circling around was outsourced because SHAFT is irresponsible as fuck and never does shit on time (usually fixing it on the BDs) and ends up relying on other shit companies to do their job, poorly. |

You still need substantial backstory to immerse people in the atmosphere and not just Outer Science prolonger 5 times, which is likely going to happen due to such a small amount of runtime. |

| I don't have high hopes, the anime was pretty much all over the place. e.e |
So_Phia said: the anime was basically the MVs glorified into an episode structure.I have mixed feelings for this because of what happened in the anime adaptation >,> The MVs are amazing, though.. maybe this will be better hopefully |
| Oh boy cant wait for disappointment |
| So they're going to repeat the same story again with different visuals. Yay. |
| For those who have gripes with the CG, here's how the same scene looks on BD where Shaft actually does sakuga. Let's pretend the cancerous CG doesn't exist. |
 |
| if its 4DDDDD will it get a normal realse so we could watch it? |
| i got no gif for my signature..... imagine some cool swords clashing and light and fighting everywhere! |
bomboy2121 said: if its 4DDDDD will it get a normal realse so we could watch it? I'm also worried about this 4D is usually the wonderful thing you find with the in-motion chairs at amusement parks Cool concept for Kagepro But will we be able to see/watch it? |
39Tan said: And the studio is not going to be Shaft, but Aniplex. I'm pretty sure Aniplex is just a production company. It could be any studio working on this. |
| If this is anything like Mekakucity Actors then please god no. |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| I'm a fan of KagePro but the TV anime was all over the place and the CG was just bad. I know they fixed that in the blu-ray, but still. I just hope this won't be anything like that. |
| All I need is more Ayano and Shintarou but I hope it won't end up a mess like the TV anime. I can't forgive the anime butchering Ayano's Theory of Happiness like that. |

| As long as it's not SHAFT.. |
