Staff
Original Story: Shingo Natsume, Tomohiro Suzuki (Tiger & Bunny script, Sousou no Frieren series composition), Bandai Namco Filmworks, Madhouse
Director, Script: Shingo Natsume (Sonny Boy, One Punch Man)
Original Character Design: Natsume Ono (ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka, Saraiya Goyou)

Introduction
Everyone has a "ghost" in their heart—feelings that are hard to express but still real. This story follows Nike, a brave and lonely girl who stands up against the unfairness of the world to protect the starry sky. Along the way, she begins to change through the people she meets and the emotions she discovers in herself.

@deg so far he's not officially credited, but he's been here for pretty much every Shingo Natsume/Madhouse anime so it's likely he'll be the animation producer too

@deg Frieren Season 2 should be completed by spring 2026 at the latest. If the movie releases in summer/fall 2027, that leaves over a year for full production—assuming pre-production is already underway. Also with NakameP possibly coming back to support Fukushi on Season 2, he may have more flexibility to fit this project in his schedule.

A Madhouse original anime with a script by the "Sonny Boy" creator and character designs based off of Natsume Ono's artstyle? I feel so catered to. Although I'm just now seeing that this is a movie, which I will still check out, but I'd admittedly look more forward to a multi-episode series...
