The first theatrical trailer was unveiled by A-1 Pictures during Anime Expo for Gen Urobuchi’s Eisen Flügel anime film.
Gen Urobuchi commented on the project:
Once upon a time, there was an eroge company called NITRO PLUS.
A chance offer for a theatrical animation project fell into their laps, so the scriptwriter submitted a proposal about a competition in a faraway world between a dragon and a jet to determine which held true superiority of the skies. The president of the company demanded that the scriptwriter transform their proposal into a one-cours anime project. And so the scriptwriter panicked and scrambled to add more content to the proposal.
But time passed and not a word was herd about the project again. Eventually, it passed from memory.
Some time later, the scriptwriter, who had become associated with Gagaga Bunko, recalled an idea he had mothballed long ago. Inspired, he reworked the proposal, which had long sat neglected, into a two-volume novel.
Not long after, Aniplex offered the scriptwriter a chance to make his revived work into a film. And so, after nearly twenty years, Eisen Flugel can finally become the feature film it was always destined to be.
And they all lived happily ever after.
The film was originally announced in 2022. As of now, a premiere date has not been announced yet.
