Netflix Adds Bubble Film, Fruits Basket the Final Anime in India

Netflix is listing Bubble, the new original anime film by Wit Studio, for release in India alongside its worldwide debut on April 28. Netflix is also listing the Fruits Basket the Final anime season for release in India on April 30.

Netflix describes the story of Bubble:

The story is set in Tokyo, after bubbles that broke the laws of gravity rained down upon the world.

Cut off from the outside world, Tokyo has become a playground for a group of young people who have lost their families, acting as a battlefield for parkour team battles as they leap from building to building.

Hibiki, a young ace known for his dangerous play style, makes a reckless move one day and plummets into the gravity-bending sea. His life is saved by Uta, a girl with mysterious powers. The pair then hear a unique sound audible only to them.

Why did Uta appear before Hibiki? Their encounter leads to a revelation that will change the world.

Singer-songwriter "Riria." (written with a period.) gained fans when she began posting songs on TikTok and YouTube without revealing her face in the fall of 2019, and she has since garnered over 1.7 million followers across several social media platforms. She is not only singing the ending theme song "Jaa ne, Mata ne." (See You, Catch You Later.), but also voicing the heroine Uta. This is the first voice-acting role for Rina., who was personally requested by director Tetsuro Araki and producer Genki Kawamura.

Eve performs the newly created opening theme song "Bubble feat. Uta."

Tetsuro Araki (Attack on Titan, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) is directing the film at Wit Studio, with a script by Gen Urobuchi (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Fate/Zero novel, Psycho-Pass), and character designs by Takeshi Obata (Death Note, Platinum End). Hiroyuki Sawano (Attack on Titan, 86) is composing the music.

The film will open in Japanese theaters on May 13. The film played as an official selection of the Generation 14plus section at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival on February 10-20.

Fruits Basket the Final premiered in April 2021.

Netflix describes the season:

The last banquet begins. Tohru desperately tries to break the zodiac curse to save Kyo and the Soma clan, but a darker presence threatens her progress.

The first season premiered in April 2019 and aired for 25 episodes. Fruits Basket 2nd Season then premiered in Japan in April 2020, and continued on into the summer season for a total of 25 episodes.

All three seasons adapt Natsuki Takaya's Fruits Basket manga. The adaptation has an entirely new Japanese cast and staff from the previous version, as per Takaya's request. The anime covers the entire manga's story.

Yoshihide Ibata (Pikaia!, FLCL Progressive) returned to direct the latest season at TMS Entertainment. Taku Kishimoto (Silver Spoon, Haikyu!!, 91 Days, Hanebad!) was again in charge of series scripts. Masaru Shindō (Macross Delta, My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU) was back to design the characters. Takaya herself served as executive supervisor.

A compilation film titled Fruits Basket -prelude- opened in Japan on February 18.
