ELEVEN ARTS Anime Studio announced that the anime movie from Kyoto Animation, Liz and the Blue Bird (Liz to Aoi Tori), will be coming to U.S. theaters on November 9! The film will be presented with original Japanese audio with English subtitles. The film is directed by Naoko Yamada (Koe no Katachi/A Silent Voice) and made its premiere back at this year’s Anime Expo. The film will be coming to Canada; however, no premiere dates have been set as of this time.
ELEVEN ARTS Anime Studio describes Liz and the Blue Bird as follows:
Mizore Yoroizuka plays the oboe, and Nozomi Kasaki plays the flute in Kita Uji High School concert band. As seniors, this will be their last competition together, and the selected piece “Liz and the Blue Bird” features a duet for the oboe and flute. “This piece reminds me of us.” Nozomi says cheerfully, enjoying the solo, while Nozomi’s usual happiness to play with Nozomi is tinged with the dread of their inevitable parting. By all accounts the girls are best friends, but the oboe and flute duet sounds disjointed, as if underscoring a growing distance between them. Talk of college creates a small rift in their relationship, as the story evolves to reveal a shocking and emotional conclusion
