▼Comment from Director Sunao Katabuchi
It has been 5 years since we started preparations in 2017, and now we are finally going to start production of the full-length film. Before that, I made this introductory video as a way to greet you all. This is the subsequent path taken by the girl who appeared in "Mai Mai Shinko and the Thousand Year Magic" a thousand years ago. This video is the entrance to the story.
