Netflix announces new gravity-defying anime film 'Bubble'

Looking for a new anime film to watch?

Netflix is bringing together several big names in the anime industry for upcoming film "Bubble" to be released in 2022!

With a screenplay by "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" creator Gen Urobuchi, "Bubble" is set in an alternate Tokyo where the laws of gravity have gone out of whack. A parkour team made the city their playground, but when one of the players falls to the sea, he is saved by a girl named Uta who suddenly appears before him.

"I thought about playing around with a typical mermaid story: Instead of a girl ending up as bubbles after falling in love, why not have a bubble fall in love and transform into a girl?" Urobuchi said.

The film is directed by Tetsuro Araki, with animation by WIT Studio and music by Hiroyuki Sawano. All three previously worked on hit series "Attack on Titan."

"I've been working on this project quietly for many years, but I'm happy to finally unveil it. I did what I'm best at to the best of my ability alongside many familiar faces. A lot of exciting pictures have surfaced," Araki said.

Japanese actor Jun Shison will voice the main character Hibiki. He will be joined by Mamoru Miyano (Dazai from "Bungo Stray Dogs"), Yuki Kaji (Eren Jaeger from "Attack on Titan"), and Tasuku Hatanaka (Reki from "SK8 the Infinity").

"I hope you enjoy what we've created! While it will definitely feature exhilarating action and beautiful background art, I hope that I can also take everyone to even more unexpected places this time. I can't wait to share it with everyone!"

"Bubble" will premiere worldwide on April 28, 2022.
