by “Ame wo Tsukeru Drifting Complex,” which depicts a summer farewell journey of boys and girls, will be exclusively distributed worldwide and released nationwide on Netflix from September 16th. The production was handled by the animation studio “Studio Colorido,” which will be the third feature animation. First, I want to introduce Studio Colorido, which is attracting attention not only from anime fans but also from movie fans.
Discovering the “joy of movement” The challenge of Studio Colorido
While many animation studios are active, Studio Colorido is taking on the challenge of finding the “joy of movement” that returns to the origin of animation. From an early age, he actively adopted digital animation.
Believing in the possibilities of a new generation, forgetting that tools are tools, and drawing pictures that are filled with human emotions, to create heartfelt video works, “Hinata no Aoshigure” From short animations such as “Typhoon Noruda,” “BURN THE WITCH,” Pokemon Sword Shield original web animation “Tsubasa no Tsubasa,” to feature animations such as “Penguin Highway” and “I want to cry I wear a cat.” Finally, I have sent out my work to the world.
An emotional story woven by delicate and warm characters
Studio Colorido draws a story woven with warm characters drawn with soft lines and colors suitable for all generations. He released many works close to the viewer, reminding us of the feelings everyone once knew when they were children.
In addition, he specializes in “magic realism,” in which the everyday life at the story’s beginning mixes with the extraordinary that lurks in it to create a mysterious worldview. It can be said that the climax that is drawn with dynamic images that release the emotions of the characters that have been carefully drawn at once is one of the attractions that grabs the audience’s heart and does not let go.
“Drifting housing complex that tells rain” depicting the first farewell trip of boys and girls
In his latest work, “The Drifting Complex that Tells the Rain,” the boy’s and girls’ first farewell journey is depicted. In the sixth grade of elementary school, Kosuke and Natsume are childhood friends who grew up in an apartment complex. One day during the summer vacation, Kosuke and his classmates sneak into the “ghost housing complex” being demolished.
The housing complex is the house of memories where Kousuke and Natsume grew up. Kosuke unexpectedly encounters Natsume there and hears about the existence of a mysterious boy named Tall. Then he suddenly gets involved in a weird phenomenon, and when he comes, he finds himself adrift in the vast ocean around him.
The director is Yuko Ishida, the core creator of Studio Colorido, who received acclaim for his first feature film director with “Penguin Highway.” In particular, the director, who has a reputation for carefully depicting “children’s feelings,” carefully describes the conflicts and growth of children through survival in a drifting housing complex, making it a perfect work for the end of summer.
“The drifting housing complex that tells the rain” will be released in theaters nationwide on September 16th. On the same day, exclusive worldwide distribution on Netflix also started. In commemorating the release, “Penguin Highway” will be broadcast on TOKYO MX from 7:00 pm on September 11th, and “I want to cry, I will wear a cat” will be posted on Tokyo TV from 10:00 pm on the 18th.
