The plans for Io Sakisaka’s manga series Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare wrapped up last spring and went about launching into both a live-action and anime feature film track. The anime feature is set for a May 29th, 2020 debut while the live-action film is set for an August 2020 debut. It’s no surprise that the anime feature film has now been pulled from the schedule with plans for it to debut later in the year when it can be rescheduled with dates revealed then. The live-action film is still on track in the hopes that things will be better by August.
The film has Tomihisa Kuroyanagi directing based on the screenplay by Erika Yoshida. Yuu Yamashita is handling the character designs with A-1 Pictures handling the animation production.
The full anime cast includes:
- Marika Suzuki as Yuna Ichihara
- Megumi Han as Akari Yamamoto
- Sōma Saitō as Kazuomi Inui
- Nobunaga Shimazaki as Rio Yamamoto
- Kikuko Inoue
- Hideyuki Tanaka
- Aya Hisakawa
- Kazuhiko Inoue
- Shun Horie
- Ayane Sakura
- Kikuko Inoue and Hideyuki Tanaka play Akari’s parents
- Aya Hisakawa and Kazuhiko Inoue play Yuna’s parents
- Shun Horie and Ayane Sakura as classmates
Takahiro Miki is directing the live-action film and A-1 Pictures is working on the anime film. The cast for the live-action film includes Eiji Akaso as Kazuomi, Minami Hamabe as Akari, Riko Fukumoto as Yuna, and Takumi Kitamura as Rio.
Plot Concept: Two girls whose stances on love are polar opposites; Yuna wants a love that’s like a dream. Akari thinks she can become better at love and is very realistic in her approach. The two heroines’ stories unfold beside two male main characters. Kazuomi doesn’t understand love. He asks, “What’s that, something tasty?” On the other hand, Rio won’t reject anyone who comes his way, as long as that person is cute.
