The MAPPA Stage 2023 event unveiled the main cast, a second teaser visual (pictured), and trailer for Mari Okada's Alice to Therese no Maboroshi Koujou (The Illusory Factory of Alice and Therese) original anime movie on Sunday. The movie will open in theaters in Japan on September 15.

Cast
Masamune Kikuiri: Junya Enoki (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Mutsumi Sagami: Reina Ueda (Dimension W)
Itsumi: Misaki Kuno (Kiznaiver)

Okada (Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou) is directing and penning the movie at MAPPA, with assistant director Tadashi Hiramatsu (Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster episode director). Yuriko Ishii (Nagi no Asu kara) is serving as both the character designer and chief animation director. Masaru Yokoyama (Kuzu no Honkai) is composing the music. Warner Bros. Pictures is distributing the movie.

Synopsis
Masamune, a third-year middle school student, lives in a town where all the exits have been sealed off due to a sudden explosion at a steel mill, causing time to stand still. Residents are forbidden from making any changes and spend their suffocating days in the hopes of returning to normalcy someday.

One day, Masamune's mysterious classmate Mutsumi guides him to the fifth furnace of the steel mill, where they encounter a girl who cannot speak and resembles a wild wolf. The meeting between the two girls and Masamune disrupts the balance of the world, and the unstoppable "impulse of love" from boys and girls tired of their daily lives begins to destroy the world.

I've been really anticipating this one and I'm more interested with this trailer, even though I expect a longer span.

I don't quite understand what you mean by "new character", it's a completely original anime.

Character whose name hasn’t been announced yet. So far we only know the names of two of the female characters and what role they’re gonna play in the story

Are you talking about it? I'm used to gradual disclosure ща side characters outside of the MC or main cast, so it's unusual for me to see someone so excited about it, like we're already discussing broadcasting the anime itself.

Oh man I’m actually excited for this.

Out of curiosity, who is the girl with the red jacket and jean shorts towards the end of the video? Is that a new character?

Looks like she might be some kind of magic user.

Dark urban fantasy, edgy melodrama, post-apocalyptic elements (?) - how many modern trends does Okada-san want to take on? The only thing missing is yuri, killing monsters and idols.
