Netflix has released a trailer and key art for their upcoming anime film Drifting Home.
Netflix describes the film as follows:
Raised like brother and sister, Kosuke and Natsume have been friends since childhood, but their relationship begins to strain in sixth grade after Kosuke’s grandfather Yasutsugu passes away. One day during their summer vacation, Kosuke and his classmates sneak into an apartment complex that is scheduled to be demolished, and rumored to be haunted. Both Kosuke and Natsume grew up there, so the place holds a lot of memories for them. There, Kosuke stumbles into Natsume and is asked if he knows about the mysterious Noppo. But suddenly, they get caught up in a mysterious phenomenon. When they regain consciousness, they see a vast ocean before them. As the apartment complex drifts in a mysterious sea with Kosuke and the others on board, they band together to try and survive. There are tears and fights, and maybe even reconciliation. Will they be able to return to their previous world? A summer farewell journey begins…
The film is being produced by Studio Colorido who has produced previous anime films such as Penguin Highway and A Whisker Away. Studio Colorido looks to approach Drifting Home with a visual style that takes the audience from reality to a fantasy world through beautiful animations that the studio has been known for. Hiroyasu Ishida is set to direct the film.
