After hits like Summer Wars, Tokyo Godfathers, and even several Hunter x Hunter films, the studio has made quite a reputation for itself. Madhouse knows the worth of a good plot perfectly well and the upcoming film will be a testament to that.
Goodbye Don Glees is the upcoming original anime film that is being produced by Studio Madhouse for its 2022 debut. The production is yet to be complete and thus a concrete release date has not been set yet.
A new poster has also been released for the film and it is making me wistful, to be honest.
The poster shows the protagonist of the film – the little girl standing beside the booth. It is the coming-of-age story of a 15-year old girl who lives in Iceland as her summer vacation begins.
Two boys can be seen lounging on the grass right beside her and the visual looks happy but also nostalgic.
Anyone else reminiscing about the careless time with their friends before the pandemic struck?

The film is set in the part of Iceland that lies in the far reaches of the Atlantic. Ishizuka has commented that inspiration had struck him when he was working on the anime, A Place Further Than the Universe, which is based on Antarctica. She wanted to base an anime on the place farthest to Antarctica.
What new story will bloom in the beautiful country that is full of lush green meadows? I am ready to wholeheartedly accept every touching twist it throws my way, are you?
