Mari Okada may have just finished her long-awaited anime film with MAPPA, but she’s not taking a break anytime soon. Okada has teamed up with her fellow Anohana creators to work on a new original anime film titled Fureru.
This new movie was announced with a new trailer that shared some intriguing snippets. It may not have much in the way of footage, but the trailer excited many fans.
That’s because the trailer highlighted the previous works of the Super Peace Busters, giving fans a good idea of what to expect.
The Super Peace Busters Creative Team Is Back for Another Anime Film
The Super Peace Busters Creative Team consists of director Tatsuyuki Nagai, writer/director Mari Okada, and artist Masayoshi Tanaka. This trio has worked on several popular anime projects over the past decade.
Perhaps their most well-known work is Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day by A-1 Pictures. This 2011 anime continues to be heralded as one of the best TV anime dramas, especially for those who love tearjerkers.
Anohana is also the source of the creative team’s name. After all, the Super Peace Busters is also the name of the kids’ group in the show.
Along with the series, the creative team has also worked on other projects. These include The Anthem of the Heart, a youth drama anime film that was also produced by A-1 Pictures.
The trio also worked on Her Blue Sky, another anime drama film. This time, the trio worked with the popular studio CloverWorks to produce this movie.
