Can Lubicchi and Poupelle unravel the mysteries of the cursed town? The anime film based on Akihiro Nishino’s famous picture book will hit Japanese theatres on December 25, 2020.

On Monday, December 21, the franchise teased us with the English subbed version of the film’s first three minutes.

In the teaser video, Lubicchi recalls the memories of his father, who firmly believed that beyond the smoke lies a clear sky filled with stars. However, everyone doubted him and called him a liar.

One day, a heart falls through the smoke into a garbage dump, and Poupelle, the ‘trashman’ is born from it.

The video is beautifully animated, with heart-warming background music, just what you expect from Studio 4°C. The cast and staff details had already been released a few weeks ago.
