Funimation has released a new trailer for Sing a Bit of Harmony, the new feature-length anime that the company is co-producing.
Sing a Bit of Harmony is the latest work from director Yasuhiro Yoshiura, who is best known as the director of 2013's Patema Inverted and has also worked on Time of Eve and Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance. The film is being co-produced by the anime distribution company Funimation and veteran animation studio J.C. Staff, which previously animated anime series such as Revolutionary Girl Utena, Food Wars: Shokugeki No Soma and Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? Harmony is co-written by Ichirou Ohkouchi, who previously worked on Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Lupin the Third Part 5. The Stranger By The Shore's Kanna Kii provided character designs while Trigun: Badlands Rumble's Hidekazu Shimamura served as the director of animation for the film.
The movie tells the story of Satomi, voiced by Kaguya-sama: Love Is War?'s Haruka Fukuhara, a high school student who is a loner until the new student Shion, voiced by Erased's Tao Tsuchiya, comes to her school and begins serenading her in the middle of class. Satomi and her classmates quickly discover that Shion is an experimental AI who has been sent to their school as part of an experiment. Though Shion is far from normal, Satomi and her new friends quickly warm up to the quirky android, and embark on a dangerous quest to rescue her when the company who built her tries to take her back.
The movie will premiere in Japan this October, and Funimation has confirmed that it will release the film in theaters in the United States and Canada at an unspecified date as well.
