The anime film, subtitled Yuna to Yakusoku no Tabi (The Promised Journey with Yuna), is scheduled to open in theaters on September 10, after its delay from last September.

Director of Photography: Kouji Tanaka (Yuukoku no Moriarty)
Sound Director: Hiromi Kikuta (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic)

I've never heard of this but the trailer looks great! I loved Moribito by the same author so looking forward to this.

This has been the anime I am most excited for since it was announced back years ago. So happy it's finally confirmed it actually exists lol.

Uehashi's Moribito and Erin are both wonderful stories made into wonderful anime, I don't know much about this one but I am sure it will be wonderful as well. High-profile theatrical project by Production IG and unimaginably great staff its bound to be extremely well made. For example it's known that Toshiyuki Inoue has been on the project since 2015/16.

Anyway the trailer looks great and I can't wait to see it.

Dunno anyone from the voice cast but as long as they can do a great job that's all that matters.

This one looks real hype. Andou is a legendary animator. This is probably his directorial debut. Expecting this to be no less than a masterpiece.
