With the first compiled print volume of the webmanga series Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san arriving in 2017, it was then that we learned that an anime adaptation is in the works. It was just during the fall of 2019 that we learned that it’s being done as a feature film and has otherwise been quiet since then. The official site has now updated to reveal plans for a 2020 debut and a new key visual as you can see below.
The film is being directed by Takayuki Hirao with character designs done by Shingo Adachi. CLAP is handling the production..
Plot Concept: The story centers on Joelle Davidovich Pomponette (Pompo-san), a talented film producer at the movie capital “Nyallywood.” Despite her prowess to see through to the potential of actors and staff and bring out their talent to the fullest, she has only been producing B-class action and erotic films. One day, Pompo’s “film-worm” assistant Gene, who has been doubtful of her choices of film genres, is given the task to direct a film based on a script written by her. Will Gene be able to bring Pompo’s “masterpiece” to fruition?
