Deji 'Meets Girl - A series of anime shorts by Liden Films

The website announcing this new anime production titled Deji' Meets Girl was launched this week. Below the first trailer.

This is a series of ninety-second short films that will be released weekly on the TBS, MBS and 26 affiliate networks from next October.

The wondrous story is set in motion one summer when Maise Higa, a listless first-year high school girl who works part-time at the front desk of her family's hotel in Okinawa, meets Ichiro Suzuki, a mysterious youth who came alone from Tokyo as a hotel guest. Since Suzuki's arrival, strange things have been happening around Maise, like fish swimming around the room or a giant banyan tree smashing through the hotel ceiling.

The anime is produced at Liden Films, with Ushio Tazawa (chief animation director for Makoto Shinkai works such as The Place Promised in Our Early Days) directing the project and character design, based on the works of Okinawan illustrator Akane Malbeni. The music is composed by Hiroshi Nakamura and the original story is by Naminoue Seinendan.

The anime will have its international premiere on the closing day of the next edition of the Fantasia Int. Film Festival in Montreal on August 25th.
