The feature anime film adapting the 1985 novel Our Seven-Day War made its December 13th, 2019 debut without a problem and the home video release side was set up recently. Kadokawa is handling the distribution which is set for a June 5th, 2020 release and now they’ve brought out a look at the finalized packaging and cover design for the sets, which is identical for both formats. The DVD is priced at 3,800 yen while the Blu-ray is priced at 4,800 yen. Sadly, no English subtitles are included and it looks like the set comes with just a booklet and the previews for the film.
The film has Yuta Murano directing based on the screenplay by Ichiro Okouchi. Keishin is working on the character designs with Hiroshi Shimizu adapting them for animation.
The Japanese cast includes Takumi Kitamura as Mamoru Suzuhara, Kyōko Yoshine as Aya Chiyono, Megumi Han as Kaori Yamazaki, Tatsuhisa Suzuki as Sōma Ogata, Takeo Ōtsuka as Hiroto Honjō, Haruka Michii as Saki Akutsu, Makoto Koichi as Malet, Takahiro Sakurai as Masahiko Honda, Rie Miyazawa will be reprising her role from the 1988 live-action film – her major debut role – with Hitomi Nakayama, Mitsuru Miyamoto, Tomokazu Seki, and Ryusei Nakao.
