Make a Girl is an upcoming sci-fi romance anime movie by Gensho Yasuda, a very popular Japanese online CG animator. Fans have been following the animator’s content for ages, that’s why it didn’t come as a surprise that the news about his upcoming anime movie caused a lot of hype.
The movie will follow a high school boy named Akira, who scientifically creates an "artificial girlfriend" named No. 0. And this is everything we know about the upcoming project’s story for now.
Livestream news
Gensho Yasuda previously announced that new information about Make a Girl would be revealed on their February 7 livestream, and he made good on that promise.
He himself appeared on the livestream along with two main voice actors for the movie. It’s been revealed that Atsumi Tanezaki, whom you know so well as Anya in Spy x Family and Frieren in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Shun Horie, who plays Kyoutarou in The Dangers in My Heart, will play the roles of Akira and his artificial girlfriend.
A few more staff members have also been revealed. Yuuichi Imaizumi will be the sound director for Make a Girl, and Kenichiro Suehiro and Rei Ueno will be responsible for music and sound effects. Kadokawa Animation is distributing the movie.
New visuals and a trailer
But that’s not all of the news. New teaser visuals and a trailer for the movie have also been revealed to give you the first look at the upcoming project.
Two teaser visuals look very alike, but one of them is light and more joyful, while the other one is dark and more mysterious. Is it a hint at something more complicated happening in the story?
The trailer provides a peculiar contrast between sci-fi elements and a creepy looking laboratory with a romantic slice-of-life vibe that is enhanced with the cheerful soundtrack.
Fans are thrilled that Make a Girl will seemingly have the same art style that they are so used to seeing in all Gensho Yasuda’s works. The animation and character design are already praised by the audience who point out the absolute beauty of the trailer.
The news got fans super excited, of course, since seeing a feature-length movie from Yasuda has been a dream of theirs for some time, and they can’t wait to learn more details about the project.
Unfortunately, the release date is yet to be revealed, so we’ll have to wait for future updates to find out when we can expect Make a Girl.
