Blood-C: The Last Dark Film's 5th Intro Video Streamed
posted on by Ko Ransom
The film distributor Shochiku began streaming the fifth introductory video to the Blood-C: The Last Dark film on Sunday. In the 125-second "No-ne-no-ne Theater" video, the identical twins Nono & Nene Motoe — in super-deformed form — introduce Ukishima Shrine, a shrine that part of the series is set in. The anime film is set in Tokyo one year after the Blood-C television series.
Manga creator team CLAMP developed the story and original character designs for the earlier Blood-C television series and the upcoming film. Production I.G has been animating both projects. Naoyoshi Shiotani (Tokyo Marble Chocolate, key animator on Blood+ and Blood-C) is directing the film instead of the television version's director Tsutomu Mizushima. Writers Jun'ichi Fujisaku and Nanase Ohkawa (CLAMP), animation character designer/chief animation director Kazuchika Kise, and voice cast members Nana Mizuki (Saya Kisaragi) and Kenji Nojima (Fumito Nanahara) are returning from the television series.
The film will open in theaters across Japan on June 2. Niconico, the English version of the online video service Nico Nico Douga, streamed the television series outside of Japan as it aired.
