Not familiar with the director but animation director of Rain Town....I'm in.

looks like heavy drama and feels, disaster anime? i will pass

wow the animation director of Rain Town?Will definetly check this out

seems good so i might give it a try

Animation Director of Rain Town will now be in charge of a typhoon. This'll be amazing!

Already like the art in the image. Will watch.

I'm predicting feels.

Will watch.

Aww yis. Liking the artstyle, definitely in.

Liking the visuals. Let's hope for a good plot.
I'm in.

Just watched Rain Town thanks to this thread. Beautiful stuff and needless to say, I'll check out this movie as well.

Sounds like another boring melodrama about natural disasters. The director also did a rather forgettable short called Control Bear a year or two back, but maybe he'll work better with a full-length title?

About time Hiroyasu Ishida had a feature

The picture art is Cool, plus animation director of Rain Town. Count me in!

Like the art. Will be watching. Rain town sounds interesting as well.

Ohh the people behind the shorts Control Bear and Poulette no Isu, and one of them also worked on Rain Town. I like their style, the pastel colors and it's cute. All of these shorts are quite imaginative. I've also had Hinata no Aoshigure in my PTW for awhile now. Looking forward to the movie!

So it's the first huge project for this studio.
Might be interesting !

"A boy quits baseball after playing his whole life and has a fight with his best friend."

I'm quite interested. On my PTW.

This can be really good.
Of course, I will watch this.

The only good thing to come out of the Punchline premiere

I like the art, I'll check it out!

The image already has me interested!

Image art looks spectacular. Also the premise sounds pretty interesting. Will definitely check this out.

This looks pretty promising.
I'll check it out.

Seems like it'll be another romance drama anime huh, well the art seems promising, will wait for more info

Melodrama Storm incoming!

Ahhhh, disaster films with drama and (most probably) tears? My jam C8
Waiting for it!

I really liked Rain Town, plus the premise to this sounds very intriguing, so I'll watch it.

WELL HELLO STUDIO COLORADO

IT'S YOUR TURN TO TRY TO SAVE ANIME

I like the art style used in the poster. And it sounds like it'll be feelsy... I'm looking forward to it haha

Finally a feature-length film from Studio C. ^~^

Sounds interesting, I'll check it out.

interesting
will check it up ;)

when viewed from the key visual, looks like a Gibli work O.O

Seems interesting.
I will check it up :3

Disaster anime? Im in.

I'll pass on this one. No more drama for me.

Some of the staff worked on Ghibli movies, mostly just in-between animation though

Those designs feel like a cross between Nakazawa Kazuto and Hosoda Mamoru, I like it.

Well now this looks INTERESTING!

Why am I getting Zankyou no Terror vibes from this?

Looks ok.
Plant to watch it

Sweet! I'm excited :3

A high school student who one day suddenly meets a mysterious girl , wow talk about originality , I think i'll pass
